Patent CA-2413187-A1 (CA)
Title: Stranded cable and method of making
Inventor: JOHNSON DOUGLAS E
IPC: H01B5/10
Filed: 2000-11-21
Abstract: A stranded cable that includes a plurality of brittle load bearing wires and  a means for maintaining the stranded arrangement of the brittle wires. Because  the load bearing wires are brittle, they cannot be sufficiently deformed during conventional cable stranding processes in such a way as to maintain their helical arrangement. Therefore, the means for maintaining the helical arrangement of the stranded wires allows the stranded cable to be convenient ly provided as an intermediate article or as a final article. When used as an intermediate article, it may be later incorporated into a final article such  as overhead power transmission cables. The maintaining means may be a tape, an adhesive tape, or a binder applied to the stranded wires.

Patent CA-2416672-A1 (CA)
Title: Cleaning apparatus
Inventor: UEBERALL PETER
IPC: B08B9/023
Filed: 2003-01-17
Abstract: A cleaning apparatus with cleaning rings for cleaning cylindrical bodies, preferably for the quartz cladding tubes in UV disinfection units, especially in UV disinfection sluices for waste water, which in addition to an axially parallel longitudinal movement over the outside surfaces perform an additional angularly limited and alternating rotational movement.  The object of the invention is a cleaning apparatus with cleaning rings for cleaning cylindrical bodies, preferably for the quartz cladding tubes in UV disinfection units, especially in UV disinfection sluices for waste water, which in addition to an axially parallel longitudinal movement over the outside surfaces perform an additional angularly limited and alternating rotational movement. According to the inventive idea the cleaning rings are moved slowly in an axially parallel way over the quartz cladding tubes, with the same moving additionally in an angularly limited and with suitable speed alternatingly about a rotational axis for reinforcing the cleaning performance and especially for the better penetration of troughs at places that are out of round. This manner of movement of the cleaning rings necessitates a considerably lower amount of mechanical complexity at virtually the same cleaning performance than would be necessary in a full and uninterrupted rotation of the cleaning rings.  Compared with the usual rigid wiper rings which are moved back and forth in an axially parallel manner on the quartz cladding tubes without any rotational movement, the cleaning performance with the cleaning rings according to the inventive idea is considerably better.

Title: Variable volume test chamber
Inventor: MERCADO ROBERT
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 1995-11-13
Abstract: A variable volume test apparatus (10) utilizes an adjustable ceiling (28) to vary the volume of the chamber (2). The ceiling (18) is sealed in its new position through the use of an inflatable bladder (26). Adjustable vents (58) are positioned in the ceiling (18) and walls (24) to direct fluid flow into the chamber (20). Floating joints (84) within the chamber doors (16) allow the door' inner walls (80) to contract or expand relative to the outer walls (84) without creating a corresponding stress on the outer walls (84) or the rivets (86). As a safety feature, the door locks (150) are computer controlled so that the doors (16) cannot be unlocked from the outside until the test chamber (20) reaches an operator safe condition. One door (16), however, has an override button (150) that allows the operator to open the door (16) from the inside of the test chamber (20). A retractable, vibration table (200) with shock absorbers (138,140) and hand brake (128) is also provided.

Title: Fibre optic street lighting fixtures
Inventor: ROBERTS L MICHAEL
IPC: F21V8/00
Filed: 2003-04-24
Abstract: The invention proposes a novel method of streetlight construction, which utilizes fiber optic transmission of the light form a remote lamp-house to the radiating portion of the light fixture located at the top of the lamp standard or utility pole thereby providing certain advantages.   Utilizing light delivery via fiber optics, the streetlight uses a remote lamp-house to focus light onto fiber optics, which transmits the light to the radiating portion of the fixture and then dis-tributes the light to a certain area whereby illumination for human vision and safety is provided.   The delivered light is used for safety or decorative lighting and a reduction in general power consumption. The transmission is by use of single mode or dual mode fiber optic cable located in the tube sections of the lamp standard for protection of the components.

Patent CA-2441268-A1 (CA)
Title: Stress sensor
Inventor: MILNE JAMES CARL
IPC: G01L1/00
Filed: 2002-03-20
Abstract: A stress or magnetic field sensor comprises a generally elongate magnetically soft amorphous or nanocrystalline electrically resistive element and biasing means for applying to the element a bias magnetic field of which the component directed along the length of the sensor has an amplitude variation pattern along the element. A periodically varying pattern has the effect of reducing the sensitivity of a stress sensor to external ambient fields (figure 3 shows that with a sawtooth bias field the sensitive portions a of a sensor move to positions b in the presence of an ambient field, but their number remains the same). A ramped bias field enables the position of the sensitive region of the sensor to be controlled, for measuring local stress, or for mapping an external magnetic field. Control of the regions where the sensor is active may include selective conductive coating of portions of its length. Potential uses of the stress sensor include a pressure sensor, embedment in moving parts (using rf communication) such as vehicle tyres, aircraft wings or machine parts, and in structures such as bridges where stray magnetic fields are a problem.
