Patent CA-2178019-A1 (CA)
Title: Ventilation stop for a sliding window or door
Inventor: ALLEN GREGORY B
IPC: E05D5/00
Filed: 1996-06-03
Abstract: A ventilation stop for limiting the length of movement of a slidable door or window sash. The ventilation stop is located in a fixed element of a window or door assembly, preferably in an interior glazing stop of a fixed sash adjacent to the slidable sash. The stop includes a recess in the glazing stop, a tab disposed in and protruding from the recess, and a hinge pin disposed in friction fit through a bore in the tab and extending into the glazing stop beyond the recess, preferably in both directions from the tab. The axes of the bore and the pin are parallel to the direction of movement of the slidable sash, permitting the tab to be turned into an interfering relationship with the slidable sash, thereby limiting the length of movement of the sash, or to be turned out of interference, thereby permitting unrestricted movement of the sash. Preferably the glazing stop is hollow, allowing for easy insertion of the pin into the tab from within the glazing stop during assembly of a window or door unit. Preferably the pin is slightly crimped near its middle to increase the frictional fit of the pin within the tab. When the crimped pin is radially oriented and held within the bore such that the included crimp angle lies at 45° from the major plane of the tab, the pin acts as a leaf spring within the glazing stop, providing alternative preferred rest positions of the tab in either the open or closed position.

Patent CA-2188985-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TEMPLEMAN RON
IPC: G06F17/40
Filed: 1996-10-28
Abstract: Temporal data representing recurring events of different types is analyzed using a graphical method of presentation. Sets of temporal data representing the different events, especially their durations, are collected andplotted in sequence on the coordinate system with the duration of each type of event being plotted cumulatively on a respective axis. Each plot represents an individual profile. Plural profiles can be plotted as group profiles using appropriate criteria for selecting individual profiles for inclusion in the group. A comparison of individual profiles with group profiles readily indicates correlations and differences allowing reasonable prediction in the case of individual profiles.       The technique is particularly applicable to recidivism data although it is not limited to such data and may also be applied to various other types of data, for example bed usage in hospitals.

Title: Analytical dipstick for improved mixing and reduced reagent volume
Inventor: HARRIS PAUL C
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 1995-06-28
Abstract: The analytical dipstick (2) of the present invention facilitates analyte testing with reduced liquid reagent volumes and provides improved mixing. The dipstick (2) includes an elongated member (4) having a fluid displacing member (18) at one end thereof and ligand (20) attached to a portion of the elongated member (4) in a region adjacent to the displacing member (18). The displacing member (18) has a configuration that substantially conforms with the inner side wall (26) of an analytical well (3) in which the dipstick (2) is placed to displace fluid therein. When the displacing member (18) is substantially centered at the bottom (30) of the well (3), the portion of the dipstick (2) supporting the ligand (20) preferably is spaced from the inner side wall (26) by a distance (d2) of at least about twice the distance (d1) between the displacing member (18) and the inner side wall (26), measured along a line (4---4) passing through the greatest lateral dimension of the displacing member (18). With this configuration, essentially all of the liquid at the bottom (30) of the well (3) is displaced upwardly so that the ligand (20) is immersed therein. The relatively large space (d2) between the ligand (20) portion and the side wall (26) of the well (3) facilitates turbulent flow to enhance mixing in the region of the ligand (20).

Patent CA-2202844-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SPEARS JOHN H
IPC: H03J7/08
Filed: 1997-04-16
Abstract: A reference oscillator (118) in a communication device (100) such as a radiotelephone is controlled by temperature compensating the reference oscillator (118). At the time of manufacture, characterizing data are stored in non-volatile memory (128) in the communication device (100). When the communication device (100) is powered up, the characterizing data are read and used to provide an initial correction (206) to the output frequency of the reference oscillator (118). Subsequently, an automatic frequency control operation is performed using the RF signal received from a remote transmitter as a reference signal. A frequency correction is determined (214) in the form of a frequency step size and step direction. The output frequency of the reference oscillator is repeatedly stepped until frequency error is minimized.

Title: Method and apparatus for dynamically routing calls in an intelligent network
Inventor: REID COLIN A
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1997-09-24
Abstract: A method,  apparatus  and  system  for  dynamically routing  selected  calls  through  an  intelligent  switched telephone network are described.   The method leverages the resident switching power in the Public Switched Telephone Network by departing from the Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) call model while adhering to the basic principles of ISUP common channel signaling to introduce new flexibility in call routing.  Using the method, calls can be efficiently routed and rerouted through the network.  Control of a call can be effected by either the called party or the calling party. The method can be practised using either a virtual switching point  (VSP)  or an ISTP.   The VSP is a physical mode in the signaling plane of the network and a virtual node in the switching plane.   Calls are routed to the VSP using dedicated trunk groups which may be loop-back ISUP trunks or inter-switch ISUP trunks.  Calls are routed to the dedicated trunk groups using standard routing translation tables  and methods.    The  advantage  is  a  new  level  of flexibility in call routing control that permits the rapid introduction of new services which include  features  that could not be efficiently accommodated using prior methods of call routing.

Title: Method for adding strength to a container
Inventor: CONN WENDELL
IPC: B29C48/12
Filed: 1997-10-21
Abstract: An improved mthod of blow molding a hollow article is disclosed comprising the adaptation of a die pin (26) to include spaced apart channels (38) therein that extend from top to bottom along the sides of the die pin. The channels create reinforcement ribs (70) along the inside surface (68) of a formed parison (30). The ribs expand with the parison into a final form and serve to reinforce the resultant body while being visible only from the inside. The channels (38) are each bifurcated to provide a segment (44) below a shut-off surface (46) in which plastic exiting the die pin can expand to form ribs (70) of substantial thickness. Portions of the parison sidewalls (66) between the ribs (70) are thinned to reduce part weight and the ribs (70) reinforce the sidewalls to compensate yet, being visible only from the inside, do not detract from the external appearance of the article.
