Patent CA-2287166-C (CA)
Inventor: HIROSE YOICHI
IPC: H04N21/647
Filed: 1999-10-22
Granted: 2002-04-23
Abstract: An imaging system includes an images outputting an analog green signal, an analog blue signal, and an analog red signal in a predetermined progressive-scanning format. The analog green, blue, and red signals are converted into parallel-form digital green, blue, and red signals, respectively. A set of the parallel-form digital green, blue, and red signals is converted into a set of a parallel-form digital luminance signal, a first parallel-form digital color-difference signal, and a second parallel-form digital color-difference signal. A signal divider separates the parallel-form digital luminance signal into a first sub parallel-form digital luminance signal and a second sub parallel-form digital luminance signal. The first and second sub parallel-form digital luminance signals are converted into a serial-form digital luminance signal. The first and second parallel-form digital color-difference signals are converted into a serial-form digital color-difference signal. A first electric-to-optical converter converts the serial-form digital luminance signal into a first optical signal having a first predetermined wavelength. A second electric-to-optical converter converts the serial-form digital color-difference signal into a second optical signal having a second predetermined wavelength different from the first predetermined wavelength. An optical multiplexes multiplexes the first optical signal and the second optical signal into a multiplexed optical signal, and outputs the multiplexed optical signal to an optical transmission line.

Title: Fabric skinned inflatable dory
Inventor: KURZMAN GEORGE
IPC: B63C9/02
Filed: 2000-02-23
Granted: 2008-04-22
Abstract: A rigid, inflatable dory and method for constructing the same. A pre-hull is constructed by attaching to a front end of a rigid, substantially, flat bottom a forwardly inclined stempost and, to a rear end thereof, a rearwardly inclined sternpost, and by attaching left and right garboard plank blanks to the sides of the bottom and to the sides of the stempost and sternpost. The stempost and sternpost are forced toward one another to impart camber and flare to the garboard plank blanks, as by connecting them by a taut rope, thereby converting the blanks into garboard planks. A hull frame is then constructed on the pre-hull, comprising longitudinally spaced apart ribs and laterally spaced apart stringers. A gunwale is attached to an upper edge of each side of the hull frame. An inflatable sponson is mounted exteriorly on each side of the hull. For covering each side of the hull, a water-impervious fabric covering has a lower portion attached to the hull adjacent a garboard plank, an intermediate portion wrapped around a sponson, and an upper portion attached to the hull frame adjacent a gunwale. The method facilitates custom design of dorys as the method requires no plug or jig for forming a hull. The dory is light weight, and the sponsons yield enhanced buoyancy and stability in water, and reduced chance of impact damage to other boats.

Abstract: A ramp unit for pontoon structures has two inner float bodies, each having an upper deck and a lower deck, and connecting hinges pivotally connecting the two inner float bodies to one another. Two outer float bodies each having an upper deck and a lower deck are connected respectively by double-jointed hinges to the two inner float bodies at a side of the two inner float bodies opposite the connecting hinges. A folding and unfolding mechanism folds the two inner and the two outer float bodies into a folded W-shape for transport and unfolds the W-shape into a stretched operating position in which the upper decks of the two inner and the two outer float bodies form a planar driving deck.      Portions of each one of the lower decks of the two inner and the two outer float bodies are planar in a longitudinal direction of each of the two inner and the outer float bodies over the entire length thereof. The double-jointed hinges are arranged and configured such that in the folded W-shape the planar portions of the lower decks of the two outer float bodies are positioned parallel to one another.

Title: Electromagnetic relay, apparatus and method for making it
Inventor: SAITO MASAO
IPC: H01H50/04
Filed: 2000-04-26
Granted: 2005-02-22
Abstract: An electromagnetic relay is basically constructed by an insulation base and an armature block. Herein, the insulation base is constructed by a fixed-side terminal set including fixed contacts, a coil block in which a coil is wound about a middle portion of a U-shape iron core, and a permanent magnet, all of which are integrally held together by a fixed-side insulator. The armature block is constructed by a moving-side terminal set including moving contacts and an armature, all of which are integrally held by a moving-side insulator. The armature block is mounted on the insulation base in such a way that the moving contacts are placed opposite to the fixed contacts respectively, and it is supported by a support point to pivotally move on the permanent magnet under an effect of electromagnetic force. Specifically, the fixed-side insulator is made by molding using resin material to integrally hold the fixed-side terminal set, coil block and permanent magnet together at prescribed positions, so it is possible to improve an accuracy in positioning of them. In addition, the fixed-side insulator is formed in a prescribed shape having a contact fixing portion that partly extends to provide engagement portions by which the permanent magnet and U-shape iron core are tightly fixed together under a contact condition where the permanent magnet is placed in tight contact with the side-end portions of the U-shape iron core.

Title: Thermal protection relay
Inventor: GOTZIG BERNHARD
IPC: H02H5/04
Filed: 2000-12-01
Granted: 2011-08-02
Abstract: The thermal protection relay determines a value (E) representative of the thermal image of an apparatus to be protected according to a measured current value, to a previous value of the thermal image and to a preset heating time constant (~1) and cooling time constant (~2). The relay takes into account (c3) a non-zero initial thermal image (E s0), determined from experimental thermal resistance curves of the apparatus. In the case of a motor, for example, this enables the cold tripping curve of the relay to be lowered without modifying the hot trapping curve, so as to bring the tripping curves of the relay closer to the thermal resistance curves of the motor.

Abstract: An anti-stacking system for an operable wall includes a guide rail mounted on or adjacent to the track so that the guide rail is engaged by panel orienting members attached to the trolley bolt. The guide rail may be mounted on the track or to the track suspending brackets. In a preferred embodiment, the guide rail is integral with the track. Panel orienting members that engage the guide rails are mounted to the bolts of the trolleys, which bolts in turn are fixed rotationally to the panels. At designated areas in the room, the track is free of the guide rail to allow stacking of the wall panels when not in use. In wall forming areas, the panel orienting members engage the guide rails so as to cause the trolley bolts, and thus the panels, to be properly rotated into a proper wall-forming arrangement and to remain in the wall forming arrangement until moved to a storage area.

Title: Improved memory integrity for meters
Inventor: MORAND GARY
IPC: G11C29/52
Filed: 1999-11-24
Granted: 2009-05-12
Abstract: An improved process ensures to the extent possible that the usage memory of an electronically-based electricity meter is always in a state that most recent data may be retrieved. Two separate areas or pages of memories are maintained and updated as to quantitative consumption, i.e. kilowatt-hour. The older of the two data memories is updated, based on a data validation check. The approach ensures that a previous value is always retained, to prevent full data loss in the event that the power goes down. If one area of memory becomes corrupted, the other value can be retrieved and verified so as to prevent loss of both memory areas, before a subsequent data reading (such as kWh or a unit of time for a kW reading). Use of a relatively small unit of measure prevents significant adverse data loss, since any data lost is limited to the chosen unit of measure since the most recent update.
