Patent CA-2584106-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JANEK GREG
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2005-10-14
Abstract: A syringe includes a hollow barrel, a hollow plunger movable within the barrel and a needle assembly secured within and at a distal end of the barrel. The needle assembly includes a needle holder, a resilient member that biases the needle holder toward the proximal end opening of the barrel, and a retaining member releasably secured to the needle holder via a reduced material section. The retaining member maintains the needle holder at the distal end of the barrel against the bias of the resilient member. When the plunger is fully depressed within the barrel, the plunger engages the needle holder such that the retaining member is forced to break away and separate from the needle holder along the reduced material section to facilitate retraction of the needle holder and a needle secured to the needle holder into the retraction cavity disposed within the plunger.

Title: Method and apparatus for selecting non-opacious dental materials
Inventor: TOUCHSTONE C ALEX
IPC: A61C5/77
Filed: 2006-01-06
Abstract: A method and system for selecting dental constructions using translucent materials that match an individual's preexisting tooth appearance uses a set of reference templates. The reference templates are constructed from layers of various translucent dental materials positioned on bases constructed from actual or simulated tooth structures. The layers of translucent materials have a thickness that varies in increments that correspond to the likely thicknesses of the materials when used in dental constructions. A reference table is created based upon color measurements of each of the reference templates. A color measurement of the individual's preexisting teeth is then compared to the reference table to determine which particular dental construction will most closely match the individuals preexisting teeth.

Inventor: YANG JIANMING
IPC: F16K15/00
Filed: 2007-07-31
Abstract: The Pressure Valve can control the passage that the source pass through. The effective area of the measuring element is smaller before the valve opens, and the effective area of the measuring element is larger when the valve opens. Higher source pressure is needed to open the valve and lower source pressure is needed to keep it open. The magnetic force between the magnet and the diaphragm attracts the diaphragm toward the magnet, the force is much stronger when the diaphragm contacts the magnet. With the help of magnetic force, the source pressure needs to go down more to make the spring force to overcome the magnetic force and source pressure, the valve close at lower source pressure. It provides a method to prevent fluid from flowing from target end to the source end when the source pressure goes down to certain level. The Pressure Valve is designed for expansion tank of a boiler system. With the Pressure Valve, an expansion tank can be pre--presurized with vapor, and will have more capacity.

Patent CA-2603888-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WHITEHOUSE CRAIG
IPC: B01D59/44
Filed: 2006-04-04
Abstract: A multiple function atmospheric pressure ion source interfaced to a mass spectrometer comprises multiple liquid inlet probes that can be operated alternately or simultaneously. The output from at least two liquid inlet probes are configured to intersect during operation selectively allowing ion to neutral and/or ion to ion gas phase reactions to occur in the mixing region of the two probe outputs. The evaporating spray of sample liquid produced from a sample inlet probe is intersected by the neutral gas or ion and neutral gas mixture generated from one or more inlet probes allowing gas phase ion to neutral and/or ion to ion gas phase reactions of the introduced sample to occur in a mixing region. Liquid and gas species introduced through one or more non sample inlet probes is selected to optimize complimentary ionization modes in the mixing region. Reagent ions can be produced through Electrospray, photoionization, corona discharge and glow discharge ionization from the additional inlet probes to generate reagent ion populations. These ions then promote Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization through ion-neutral reactions in the mixing region of the sprayed sample solution prior to sampling the resulting ion population into vacuum for mass to charge analysis. Ions generated from the additional inlet probes can be reacted with opposite polarity multiply charged ions generated from the sample inlet probe in the mixing region to promote charge reduction or electron transfer dissociation of sample ions. Selected neutral gas species can also be introduced into the sample inlet primary probe mixing region to promote charge reduction of multiply charged ions through ion-neutral reactions. Different ion source operating modes can be rapidly turned on and off under manual or software control during the introduction of a primary sample solution creating a multiple function ion source.

Patent CA-2613834-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SPERLING DEBORAH
IPC: B62M1/10
Filed: 2006-06-22
Abstract: This invention provides a stabilizing system and method for two-wheeled vehicles (typically small, human-powered bicycles) that affords the rider no restriction on the full range of movements (banks, leans, etc.) common to bicycles, but that provides greater stability during turns and other maneuvers so that an unintentional bank or tilt (poten¬ tially causing a fall) is less likely, even at relatively slow speeds and startup. A rotating mass of predetermined mass-value and radial mass-distribution is provided coaxially with the front axle. The mass is supported on bearings so as to freewheel with respect to the rotation of the front wheel. As such it can be induced to spin significantly faster than the front wheel thereby generating a gyroscopic effect at the front wheel about the axle. This gyroscopic effect influences the steering of the wheel by the rider. Due to precession, the wheel tends to follow any excessive bank by the bicycle, ensuring that the rider can "steer-out-of " an unintended tilt or bank. Likewise, the gyroscopic effect limits the rider's ability to execute excessive steering, thereby preventing jackknife movements.
