Patent CA-2188405-A1 (CA)
Title: Energy absorbing device
Inventor: SMALL GREGORY E
IPC: F16F7/12
Filed: 1995-04-27
Abstract: An energy absorbing device for safely arresting moving bodies. Ap-plications of the device include fall protection systems that protect work-ers on elevated structures from acci-dental falls. The energy absorbing de-vice includes a coiled strip capable of dissipating energy when a tensile force applied across the device gen-erates an internal bending strain that exceeds the elastic limit of the mate-rial. The tensile load developed on the safety track during an accidental fall unwinds the strip, thus progres-sively taking-up the kinetic energy of the moving body.

Patent CA-2219268-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WRIGHT GREGORY ALAN
IPC: H04B7/22
Filed: 1997-10-23
Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, the communication system comprises an Interrogator and one or more Tags. The Interrogator generates a modulated carrier signal by modulated a first information signal onto a radio signal. The Interrogator transmits a downlink signal which comprises the modulated carrier signal and the radio signal. A Tag receives and processes the downlink signal. Specifically, the Tag demodulates the first information signal from the modulated carrier signal and generates a second information signal typically based on the contents of the first information signal. The second information signal is used to modulate a subcarrier signal, thereby generating a modulated subcarrier signal. A Backscatter Modulator using this modulated subcarrier signal modulates the reflection of the radio signal, wherein the reflected signal is an uplink signal. The Interrogator receives and demodulates the uplink signal using homodyne detection to obtain the modulated subcarrier signal, which is then demodulated using a subcarrier demodulator to obtain the second information signal. In one embodiment, frequency of the subcarrier signal is an integer multiple of the second information signalsymbol rate and is up to half the sampling rate of the subcarrier demodulator.

Title: Silicon feed system
Inventor: NORRIS JOSEPH R
IPC: C30B15/02
Filed: 1998-02-11
Abstract: A silicon pellet feed system for use with a silicon melt furnace used to grow a silicon web. A reservoir for containing feed particles is coupled to the upper end of a feed tube. The lower end of the feed tube is positioned adjacent a pair of rotatable drive rollers driven by a motor through a coupling and a pair of gears. The rollers are mounted at an angle with respect to horizontal and the outlet end of the roller feed path is located above a delivery tube leading to the silicon melt furnace. The elements are surrounded by an enclosure having a vacuum outlet for enabling the enclosure to be evacuated to a working vacuum level and a gas inlet for enabling an inert gas to be back filled into the enclosure. The feed rate is determined by the angle of the drive rollers, the speed of the motor and the shape of the bottom end of the feed tube. The rollers are resilient to provide enhanced surface friction for the particle flow and to prevent trapped feed particles from jamming the motor.

Title: Method and apparatus for dispensing fluid on a non-planar substrate
Inventor: TRUBLOWSKI JOHN
IPC: B23K35/14
Filed: 1998-03-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for applying a fluid to a plurality of locations on a non-planar substrate.  The apparatus includes a movable base and an array of pins connected to the base.  Each pin has a distal end which is vertically movable with respect to the base independently of the rest of the array of pins.  Each distal end is adapted to transfer fluid to a location on the substrate by having a greater affinity for the fluid than the fluid has for itself and a lesser affinity for the fluid than the fluid has for the substrate.  Accordingly, the distal ends may be dipped in the fluid and moved into contact with the substrate such that the distal ends may collapse toward the base as the distal ends engage the substrate to facilitate further movement of the base toward the substrate for application of fluid to each of the plurality of locations.
