Granted: 2010-03-16
Abstract: A light for an industrial stringlight includes a cap having wire channels receiving insulated conductors. Non-interchangeable contact elements are placed in a screw-shell adapted to hold a lamp, and the cap and screw-shell are forced together. The cap is secured to the screw-shell, and insulation-piercing points on the contact elements establish electrical continuity with their associated conductors. The assembly is then overmolded for protection and sealing. A lamp guard is assembled to the overmold and has a bottom section hinged about a horizontal axis to permit replacing the lamp from beneath.

IPC: F16F7/04
Filed: 2000-08-03
Granted: 2009-07-07
Abstract: The invention relates to the protection of structural systems such as apartment houses against dynamic loading caused by earthquakes, wind, traffic etc. When a frame structure is excited by a horizontal external force, the girders starts to displace horizontally. If such displacements are large or if they occur periodically they may have serious impact on the conditions of the structure and may cause severe damages or even result in a collapse. The present invention relates to a very simply designed and easily produced damper with two members being interconnected in a rotational joint. By means of the arrangement of the damper in the structural system, displacement occurring in the system is transferred to the members being forced to rotate in relation to each other. Frictional resistance between the two members is dampening the rotational movement and thus the displacement in the system. The invention further relates to a device wherein the frictional resistance may be varied dynamically based on the displacements occurring in the system.

Patent CA-2396312-C (CA)

Granted: 2008-03-11
Abstract: A user-selectable cursor can be positioned over a portion of a cloud formation displayed on a computer display, where the portion corresponds to precipitation that is expected to move over a target point or area. Predicted precipitation amounts corresponding to the portion are calculated and displayed, allowing the user to see how much precipitation is expected to occur over the target point or area. In one variation, radar reflectivity data indicating relative storm intensities is displayed on the computer screen, and the cursor is used to select a region of interest including one or more cells that are expected to move over a target area. Reflectivity values for each cell that is expected to move over the target area are converted into predicted precipitation rates, and are multiplied by the time that each cell is expected to remain over the target area. Predicted precipitation amounts attributable to each cell that is expected to move across the target area are accumulated and output as a predicted precipitation amount for the target area. If the target area is a watershed comprising multiple cells, then predicted precipitation amounts for each cell in the watershed are averaged to produce a predicted precipitation amount for the watershed. The cursor can be drawn over different regions of interest to allow a user to quickly identify outcomes under different scenarios.

Title: Method and apparatus for determining the left-ventricular ejection time tlve of a heart of a subject
Inventor: OSYPKA MARKUS J
IPC: A61B5/029
Filed: 2002-10-10
Granted: 2014-09-09
Abstract: In order to reliably determine the left-ventricular ejection time T LVE of a heart of a subject, at least two different measuring methods are employed. This includes in any case the derivation of a first waveform related to thoracic electrical bioimpedance or bioadmittance. A second waveform can be determined by using pulse oximetry, Doppler velocimetry, measurement of arterial blood pressure and measurement of peripheral electrical bioimpedance or bioadmittance. Depending on signal quality, the results obtained by each method are weighted and then averaged. The weighted average for left-ventricular ejection time is used as an input variable for cardiovascular monitoring methods, which determine objective measurements of cardiovascular function and performance. Such measurements include, but are not limited to, left ventricular ejection fraction, stroke volume, cardiac output, systolic time ratio, and indices of ventricular contractility.

Title: Method and device for testing a mat made of biomass particles
Inventor: DUEHOLM STEN
IPC: G01N23/18
Filed: 2002-12-10
Granted: 2012-02-07
Abstract: A testing device tests a mat that is moved in one direction and that is made of biomass particles for manufacturing boards. On one side of the mat, radiation sources are positioned with a transversely spaced-apart relationship transverse to the direction of motion. On the other side of the mat, a line of detector elements is arranged beneath each of the radiation sources. A fan-shaped beam impinges on said detector elements.  The beam passes either through one standard body, through the mat, or through neither the standard body nor the mat and is received by the detector elements and converted into electric output signals. The output signals are transferred via lines to an evaluating circuit that controls a device for removing mat portions that contain unwanted matter or the weight per unit area of which is too low.

Granted: 2007-08-07
Abstract: L'invention concerne une fixation à vis en aveugle en deux parties (10), destinée à la fixation de plusieurs pièces (20, 22), comprenant un manchon creux (12) à tête élargie (26) à une extrémité d'une cheville (14) comportant une bague de cisaillement à déport (46) à l'extrémité opposée de la tête du manchon, suivie d'une portion de rétention oblongue (48) de diamètre réduit. La bague de cisaillement est conçue afin d'engager et de se déplacer à l'intérieur du manchon afin de former une tête aveugle en forme de tulipe en réponse à une force axiale relative appliquée entre la cheville et le manchon jusqu'à la partie interne ou la ligne de feuille aveugle (64) des pièces. La portion de rétention est alors déplacée avec la tige de la cheville (40) dans la bague de cisaillement, avec la bague de cisaillement finalement disposée à une position, sur la portion de rétention, dépendant de l'épaisseur totale des pièces. On obtient donc une section de verrouillage entre la cheville et le manchon du côté intérieur ou aveugle des pièces. La structure de verrouillage dans laquelle se trouvent la cheville et le manchon est activée après la formation finale de l'attache et de la section d'arrêt afin de constituer un verrou entre la cheville et le manchon.
