Patent CA-2198975-A1 (CA)
Title: Panel for mounting of electrical terminals
Inventor: GRANT JOHN E
IPC: H01R4/24
Filed: 1997-03-03
Abstract: The panel has several sections, each with a different hole profile. The top panel section has a hole diameter which corresponds to the terminal flange in such a way that the top panel section contacts the terminal flange, holding the terminal with frictional gripping force. This contact keeps the terminal from wobbling, thus eliminating the weakening of the terminal support legs and shorting between terminals. The panel section between the top and rear panel sections (i.e. the middle section) has a hole diameter which corresponds to the outer diameter of the terminal between the terminal flange and the terminal support legs, so that the terminal can be press fitted in the middle section hole. The rear panel section has a hole diameter which is conical or profiled with a larger diameter towards the top panel section, corresponding to the width of the support legs in such a way that the support legs can be fully sprung out, and a smaller diameter towards the rear of the mass termination panel. A modified tool bit, for use in an industry standard impact tool, undercut far enough so that it does not bottom on the terminal, is used for terminating wires on the terminals. The tool stops against the raised top or rear panel surfaces, eliminating the direct hammering on the terminal by the impact tool.

Patent CA-2202789-A1 (CA)
Title: Padless touch sensor
Inventor: SENK MIRO
IPC: H03K17/96
Filed: 1997-04-15
Abstract: The padless touch sensor is used for detecting a touch at a sensing location onto a dielectric element by a user coupled to earth.  The sensor comprises a conductive plate attached under the dielectric element and in registry with the sensing location.  A  predetermined  potential  is  applied  on  the conductive plate.  Simultaneously, test pulses are produced into earth.  When the user touches the dielectric element at the sensing location, a potential variation in the conductive plate is produced during a test pulse due to a capacitive circuit formed between earth, the user and the sensor.  No deposition of conductive pads on the dielectric element or other special processes  are  required.  Foreign matter or objects  placed directly on top of the dielectric element will not erroneously produce a touch condition.

Patent CA-2208797-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GAIRDNER JAMES
IPC: A47L13/08
Filed: 1997-06-25
Abstract: A tool for clearing debris wedged between floorboards of a structure, such as a deck, has an elongated shaft, a tine and a gauge member. The tine is inserted into the space between floorboards to remove the debris. A gauge member attached to the tine prevents the tine from abrading the bottom of the crevice resulting in damage to the underlying structure by limiting the extent that the tine can be inserted into the crevice. The gauge member is attached to the tine by placing each of two sections of the tine through apertures in the gauge member. The gauge member includes a plurality of apertures located at various distances from one end of the gauge member. The location of the gauge member on the tine depends on which apertures are used. The different placements of the gauge member on the tine allows the limit on the extent of insertion of the tine below the floorboards to be varied. The tine has a rectangular cross-section, a bevelled tip and a flat face which is perpendicular to the direction of cleaning when the tool is in use which provides improved clearing of the debris from the crevice. The elongated shaft allows the tool to be utilized in a standing position without bending over. The shaft is hollow and includes grips for convenient placement of the users hands during operation.

Patent CA-2214304-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TOMASKO JOHN A
IPC: F16K17/02
Filed: 1997-08-29
Abstract: Rotatable valve assembly includes a mounting mechanism for rotatably mounting a valve in a housing.  The mounting mechanism includes a shaft having an outside end extending through the housing.  A conversion mechanism converts fluid pressure in the housing into torque exerted on the shaft. A release mechanism is located outside the housing for preventing rotation of the shaft and valve when the torque exerted on the shaft is below a selected magnitude.   A linearizing mechanism converts the forces exerted on the release mechanism by the shaft into a linear force.  The release mechanism allows the shaft to rotate when the torque exerted on the shaft and the linear force exerted on the release mechanism exceeds a selected magnitude.  A seal is provided for sealing the gap between the valve and the housing in the closed position of the valve.   The seal includes a support edge sealingly secured to the housing, a sealing edge extending inwardly from the support edge into contact with the valve circumference in the closed position of the valve, and a seal body connected between the support edge and the sealing edge and spacing the sealing edge axially towards the inlet face of the valve from the support edge.

Title: Structural member unit for modular shelving
Inventor: DORNBIERER ANDREAS
IPC: A47B87/02
Filed: 1996-03-07
Abstract: The shelf-unit kit proposed has a U-shaped basic element (1) with a main shelf (2) and, at right angles to each of the ends (2') of the main shelf (2), a wall element (4, 5). The basic element (I) is fitted with a least one mounting socket (15) at each end (2') of the main shelf (2) and in the surfaces (14) of the far ends of each wall element (4, 5). The mounting socket (15) is designed to hold a spacer (11, 31), a centering pin (17) or a similar device, the spacers (11, 31) giving a vertical separation (12) equal to the thickness of the main shelf (2). This enables two or more basic elements (1) to be assembled one on top of the other with their wall elements (4, 5) facing in the same direction or towards each other. A shelf unit can thus be assembled easily using the basic elements in a wide variety of different combinations.

Title: Method and apparatus for providing passive fluid force feedback
Inventor: GILLESPIE RICHARD B
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: A method and apparatus for interfacing the motion of an object (18) with a digital processing system (250) includes a sensor (14, 110) for detecting movement of the object (18) along a degree of freedom. A passive pneumatic or hydraulic damper (12, 108) is coupled to the object (18) to provide a damping resistance to the object (18) along the degree of freedom and resist a movement of the object (18). The damping resistance is provided by regulating the control of a fluid with a digital computing apparatus (52), thus providing a low-cost, low-power force-feedback interface that is safe for the user. The damper (12, 108) and sensor (14, 110) provide an electromechanical interface (10) between the object (18) and the electrical system. A gimbal or other interface mechanism can be coupled between the damper (12, 108) and the object (18). The interface is well suited for simulations or video games in which an object such as a joystick is moved and manipulated by the user.

Filed: 1996-07-16
Abstract: Fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composite (FRCMC) components (14) employed in sliding relationship to one another as automotive engine parts and the like are provided with erosion resistant qualities not found in currently available FRCMC parts. These erosion resistant FRCMC components (14) are formed from a pre-ceramic resin (12) having fibers (16) of a woven or non-woven generic fiber system disbursed throughout.
