Patent CA-2464193-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BEGG ROBERT G
IPC: G02C9/00
Filed: 2004-04-14
Abstract: A clip-on glasses assembly for mounting on primary glasses, comprising a pair of lens members, at least one grapple on each of the pair of lens members for engaging the outer edges of the primary glasses, and a bridge between the lens members configured to slidably receive the lens members to allow movement of the lens members between an open position and a closed position. An actuator bar having two ends, each end coupled to one of the lens members, allows a user to easily mount and remove the glasses assembly using only one hand. Moving the actuator bar toward the bridge forces the ends of the actuator bar apart and moves the lens members into the open position. The actuator bar is generally U-shaped and constructed from a resilient material. The actuator bar and/or separate springs bias the lens member toward the closed position. The bridge may further comprise a locking mechanism to maintain the lens members in the open position. An actuating mechanism comprising just the actuator bar can be affixed to other glasses assemblies to make those assemblies operable using only one hand.

Title: Pathway-specific, registry-integrated domain name registration system
Inventor: BIESECKER BLAKE
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 2003-08-13
Abstract: [0059] Embodiments of the present invention reliably effect successive registrations of a domain name through implementing a backorder system (504) integrated with the registry (520) maintaining the current registration for the domain name. Because the backorder system (504) is directly integrated with the registry (520), a successful new registration can be achieved following the lapse of the current registration. The registry can employ modified registration control logic and new and modified registry interface commands (324). These modifications to the standard registration system enable a registry (520) to limit successive registrations of the domain name to an entity, such as a registrar (500), that employs the backorder service (504).

Title: Holding tray having through-hole wells
Inventor: LAFFERTY WILLIAM MICHAEL
IPC: C12N15/12
Filed: 2003-01-21
Abstract: A GigaMatrix plate for holding a large number of small-volume fluid samples includes a base for supporting a plurality of substantially parallel, elongated capillary tubes. Each tube defines a lumen that extends through the base, and each lumen has an aspect ratio greater than about 5:1. Dimensionally, each lumen has an inner diameter that is less than approximately five hundred microns and it has a length greater than about five millimeters. Further, each tube acts to optically distinguish light that is directed toward it from the sample whenever the sample fluoresces inside the tube lumen. Also, however, light from the sample that is directed axially through the tube is emitted therefrom for optical detection of the tube and the sample therein.

Patent CA-2488722-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAYMOND STEVEN L
IPC: F16C3/02
Filed: 2004-12-01
Abstract: A new and improved composite rotary steel drive shaft comprises a radially outer steel tubular member and a radially inner carbon fiber tubular liner which is adhesively bonded upon the inner peripheral wall surface of the radially outer steel tubular member wherein the carbon fiber tubular liner is characterized by or exhibits a relatively high modulus of elasticity. As a result of the adhesive bonding of the radially inner carbon fiber tubular liner upon the inner peripheral wall surface of the radially outer steel tubular member, the torsional stiffness properties of the resulting composite rotary steel drive shaft are dramatically increased to such a degree that high-performance, high-speed rotary operation of the same, within the range of ten thousand revolutions per minute (10,000 RPM), is enabled without the composite rotary drive shaft experiencing any undesirable deflections, or any detrimental vibrational resonance, as has been characteristic of conventional rotary drive shafts . In addition, in view of the fact that the radially outer member of the composite rotary steel drive shaft comprises a radially outer steel tubular member, the resulting composite rotary steel drive shaft is considered to be a steel rotary drive shaft and is therefore acceptable to, and is able to be sanctioned by various professional automotive racing authorities.

Abstract: La présente invention consiste à une nouvelle boîte de vitesse alimentée p ar un moteur à vitesse constante. Dans sa version la plus simple, cette boîte de vitesse, munie d'un arbre de sortie, permet une diminution de la vitesse de l'arbre de sortie par rapport à la vitesse de l'arbre du moteur. Dans sa deuxième version, un bras de vitesse, servant aussi au freinage de l'arbre de sortie, est ajouté à la boîte de vitesse. Par la manipulation de ce bras de vitesse, l'arbre de sortie subit une variation en continu de sa vitesse dans les deux sens de rotation et, dans une position précise du bras de vitesse, on obtient une vitesse nulle de l'arbre de sortie, cette vitesse nulle étant équivalente au freinage de l'arbre de sortie. La troisième version de cette la boîte de vitesse possède des composantes et des propriétés similaires à celles que l'on retrouve sur la deuxième version . Cependant, elle intègre en plus l'équivalent d'un différentiel tels que ce ux utilisés sur les véhicules motorisés, soit un différentiel équipé de deux arbres de sortie se partageant la force transmise par le moteur en fonction de la résistance appliquée aux arbres de sortie. En plus d'intégrer un différentie l, cette dernière version permet l'ajout de plusieurs arbres de sortie tournant à la même vitesse que l'arbre du moteur et ce, sans que soit affectée la vites se du moteur et des arbres du différentiel. La quatrième version de cette boîte de vitesse possède des composantes et des propriétés similaires à celles que l'on retrouve sur la deuxième version . Cependant, la configuration des pièces et leurs montages permettent une optimisation des ses propriétés quant à l'augmentation de la vitesse de l'arbre de sortie dans les deux sens de rotation.

Title: Gauge having a magnetically driven pointer rotation device
Inventor: BUCHANAN STEVEN O
IPC: G01D5/12
Filed: 2005-07-26
Abstract: A gauge for indicating a measured variable such as pressure. The gauge includes a motion detection device including a drive magnet that is adapted to be moveable in response to changes in the variable. The pointer rotation device includes a pivot member, a power magnet coupled to the pivot member, and one or more director members located adjacent the power magnet. Each director member includes a generally helical flange. A pointer is coupled to the pointer rotation device. The director members and the power magnet form a magnetic field adapted to magnetically couple the pointer rotation device to the drive magnet. The pointer rotation device is adapted to rotate about a rotational axis. Movement of the drive magnet in response to changes in the variable rotates the pointer rotation device and the pointer about the rotational axis such that the pointer indicates the measured variable.
