Patent CA-2206820-C (CA)
Title: Led vehicle lamp assembly
Inventor: RONEY TROY LYNN
IPC: F21V23/00
Filed: 1997-06-03
Granted: 2005-04-19
Abstract: A lamp, such as for truck trailers and/or tractors, is provided with LEDs mounted to a circuit board placed in a housing. The housing is thereafter partially filled with a liquid resin material and a lip portion of a lens member is pressed into the resin into contact with the circuit board. The resin material is cured with thermally conductive particles suspended therein for conducting excess heat to the outer aluminum housing and the outer environment. A hermetic seal is formed by the resin material between the lens member and the LED bearing circuit board. The lens member has a series of parallel, elongated lens ribs providing constant optics while allowing additional LEDs to be positioned in a row behind a lens rib. The lens member is completely recessed within the housing for enhanced protection from mechanical damage thereto.

Abstract: A crawler track guide rail having an upper elongated surface engagable with the shoes of a crawler track, a lower surface engagable with a crawler track support frame, and a foot which extends downward into the frame to transfer load resulting from the engagement of the shoes with the guide rail to the frame.  The guide rail has at least one elongated lower surface and may have two elongated lower surfaces which are engageable with the frame.  Where there are two elongated surfaces of the guide rail in engagement with the frame, the foot of the guide rail is positioned between the two elongated surfaces.  The guide rail has a plurality of fasteners for retaining it on the crawler frame extending through the guide rail and the frame.  The fasteners have a selected tolerance fit with the frame and the foot of the guide rail has a smaller tolerance fit with the frame than that of the fasteners.  Thus, the foot fits relatively snugly with the frame to thereby assist with transfer of the load on the guide rail to the frame through the foot rather than through the fastener members.

Abstract: The present invention provides an excellent composition for improving pancreatic function, the composition for promoting differentiation of undifferentiated pancreatic stem cells to pancreatic beta cells and the composition for preventing or treating undifferentiated type of pancreatic cancer, which comprises a BTC protein or a mutein thereof.  The composition of the present invention acts on undifferentiated pancreatic stem cells to promote their differentiation to insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. It also has an activity for induction of differentiation of undifferentiated pancreatic stem cells to other pancreatic cells such as F cells which produce pancreatic peptides. The composition of the present invention is therefore capable of promoting mitigation and healing of diabetes mellitus (e.g., insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus), pancreatic dysfunction in diabetes mellitus etc., and improves pancreatic function. And, the composition of the present invention is also useful as a composition for preventing or treating undifferentiated type of pancreatic cancer.
Patent CA-2237945-C (CA)
Inventor: GRAHAM WILLIAM DOUGLAS
IPC: A01B63/22
Filed: 1998-06-18
Granted: 2001-01-30
Abstract: Frame sections on an implement are supported above the ground by lift wheel assemblies having positive mechanical depth stops and series connected lift cylinders. A pressure responsive bypass valve is installed in series with an orifice between the ports of the series connected cylinders. The valve permits the corresponding cylinder to be retracted and positively held against the depth stop and allows bypass flow to the next cylinder in series for continued retraction of the next cylinder until it bottoms against the stop. The orifice protects the bypass valve poppet from damaging high flows and controls the rate of descent of the other frame sections onto the remaining stops. The system permits the cylinders to positively maintain the down-stopped positions of the sections without unwanted looseness typical with slotted or other lost motion types of connections. A  restrictor valve may be added to limit the maximum pressure so that all the bypass valves cannot open at the same time.

Title: Cable electrique jumele a transmissivite amelioree et procede de fabrication
Inventor: BERELSMAN TIMOTHY
IPC: H01B7/08
Filed: 1997-01-03
Granted: 2002-08-13
Abstract: L'invention porte sur une paire de câbles préalablement torsadés et sur un procédé de transformation de ces paires en un câble électrique doté de propriétés électriques et mécaniques améliorées. L'un au moins des fils isolés destinés à la transmission de signaux électriques a été préalablement torsadé avant d'être apparié à un autre fil isolé. Dans la mesure où les fils préalablement torsadés sont appariés à l'aide d'une machine classique à torsade double qui imprime une détorsion, les effets électriques préjudiciables causés par des irrégularités dans les fils individuels sont cyclés sur une très courte distance, ce qui se solde par un câble jumelé ayant une perte par retour, une paradiaphonie et une perte par insertion inférieures à celles que l'on trouve dans des fils appariés sans aucune torsion préalable. Il est possible de réunir ces fils préalablement torsadés en un câble électrique gainé grâce à un procédé de gainage par extrusion en continu au titre duquel une constante diélectrique optimale est maintenue autour de chaque paire individuelle de câbles. Cela est rendu possible par le fait d'une configuration unique à matrice et à pointe qui permet l'établissement de crêtes afin de séparer les paires et de garantir un diélectrique aérien optimal mais qui empêche également une jonction du composé de gainage à l'intérieur de la gaine de câble électrique résultante et ce, afin d'isoler chaque paire individuelle de câbles lors de l'extrusion. Le câble électrique résultant est doté de propriétés électriques et mécaniques supérieures à celles que possèdent des câbles électriques similaires fabriqués par des techniques classiques.

In one embodiment, the present invention is a pseudo-random number generator defined by a modular exponential function xi = g xt-i mod p . The output of the pseudo-random number generator being a pseudo-random number zi comprising a j-1 bit size segment of xi. The value of j being less than or equal to m-2c (i.e., j~m-2c). In an embodiment of the present invention, the pseudo-random number zi includes the j least significant bits of xi excluding the least significant bit of xi.

IPC: B24B19/02
Filed: 1997-07-23
Granted: 2006-07-18
Abstract: The time to grind a workpiece can be reduced by selecting a grinding wheel whose width is not substantially greater than wheel strength considerations require, and which may therefore be less than the axial length of the region to be ground providing a work rest or work steady to increase the workpiece stiffness if required, and performing a succession of plunge grinding steps so as to grind the whole of the said axial region. Typically the grinding wheel is an electroplated CBN wheel, and the width of the grinding wheel selected is the narrowest permissible given the desired feed rate and motive power available. A grinding machine is disclosed comprising a wheelhead having mounted thereon a grinding wheel whose width is not substantially greater than that dictated by structural and strength requirements, programmable indexing means to enable the relative positions of the wheelhead and workpiece to be adjusted in a sequence of steps to achieve a sequence of plunge grinds, which may or may not overlap, to enable a region of the workpiece to be ground, the axial extent of which is greater than the width of the wheel, and wheel feed means and control means by which the feed rate is controlled, whereby the wheel feed rate is similarly programmable to enable a feed rate to be achieved which is limited only by the peak and RMS power capabilities of the wheel spindle drive motor, so that the rate of material removal is as high as is compatible with the power capabilities of the machine during each plunge, thereby optimising the total cycle time for grinding.
