Patent CA-2545337-A1 (CA)
Title: Anti-creep trailer locking mechanism
Inventor: POWER ANDREW
IPC: B60G17/005
Filed: 2006-04-28
Abstract: An anti-creep locking mechanism for a trailer suspension system is disclosed. The disclosed locking mechanism includes at least one column that may be swung into a first position in a gap formed between a trailer frame and a suspension component to keep a trailer at a predetermined height. The column is biased into the first position by a spring. An actuator, such as a contracting air bag or an air cylinder with a linkage assembly, is used to overcome the biasing force of the spring and retract the column into a second position, thereby deactivating the anti-creep locking mechanism. The anti-creep mechanism may further include an angle limiter to insure that column is fully retracted once the system is deactivated.

Patent CA-2549084-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DU XIN MING
IPC: G01N21/17
Filed: 2006-05-31
Abstract: A fiber Bragg grating humidity sensor transducer comprises an optical fiber having preferably two gratings. One of the grating is sensitive to humidity whereas the other optional grating is sensitive to temperature. The sensor therefore allows for a temperature compensated humidity measurement. The humidity sensitive grating is coated with a specific polymer. When the specific polymer, which is sensitive to humidity, absorbs water vapor, it expands. The expansion of the polymer coating develops a transverse strain in the grating area of the optical fiber. A  direct relation between the amount of strain and humidity percentage can be translated. The sensitivity, the accuracy and the response time of the sensor are enhanced by a hydrofluoric acid (HF) thinning or etching of the humidity sensitive grating. The measurement of the humidity sensor is based on optical signal interrogation technology.
