Patent CA-2196695-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOLMBERG STEEN
IPC: A61F5/449
Filed: 1997-02-03
Abstract: An adhesive faceplate for detachable connection to an ostomy pouch is disclosed.  The faceplate has an integrated convex pressure ring for promoting stomal protrusion and a so-called floating flange (i.e., coupling ring) for mechanical attachment to the mating coupling ring of an ostomy pouch.  The convex pressure ring is provided with a deep annular recess behind the faceplate's coupling ring to accommodate a user's fingers during a coupling operation, thereby facilitating attachment of a pouch.  The recess is also useful because it may accommodate the flexible web (which is preferably pleated to allow greater movement of the faceplate's coupling ring) when the coupling ring is immediately adjacent the remainder of the faceplate.  The pressure ring includes a thin, inwardly-extending connecting portion which is heat sealed to the backing layer of the faceplate's adhesive wafer and, when that backing layer is formed of a porous material, such heat seal effectively closes the pores of the backing layer in the area of the seal.

Title: Method for altering a broadcast transmission as a function of its recipient on a communications network
Inventor: BRUNO RICHARD FRANK
IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 1997-02-17
Abstract: Audiovisual programs are transmitted over a low-bandwidth network in a compressed form in which the number of video frames has been reduced by selecting "significant" frames. The user sees a series of still images accompanying an apparently full audio channel. If a particular frame is advertising, then the user is identified, and depending on the user's demographic or psychographic profile, anadvertisement different from the one originally included in the program may be transmitted. Alternatively, if the user has paid not to receive advertising, the system may skip any advertising that it encounters. However, certain advertisements maybe flagged in such a way that they cannot be omitted and that other advertisements cannot be transmitted in their places.

Title: Enhanced, deferred messaging service
Inventor: LIEUWEN DANIEL FRANCIS
IPC: H04M3/50
Filed: 1997-03-24
Abstract: An enhanced, deferred messaging service ensures a message is received even when an answering machine is connected to a line and receives the call. In such a case, the service notes the number of rings n necessary to activate the recipient's answering machine. The service then resumes redialing and lets the phone ring n -1 times for each attempted call until either the phone is answered or a time-out occurs. If the recipient's answering machine, however, is in toll-savermode, then the answering machine may answer a second time in less than n -1 rings. If the toll-saver feature is activated, then the service notes the number of rings m which caused the answering machine to be reached in toll-saver mode. The service then resumes redialing and lets the phone ring m -1 times for each attempted call until either the phone is picked up or a time-out occurs. Thus, even after leaving a message on an answering machine, the service will attempt to reach a human.

Abstract: A GROWING NUMBER OF CHILDREN AND FRAIL ADULTS WERE KILLED BY THE SUDDEN DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS IN LOW VELOCITY CRASHES. SOURCE: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DOCKET 74-14 DATE   A KEY FACTOR WAS THE VICTIM'S PROXIMITY TO THE DEPLOYING AIRBAG. INTRODUCTION OF EXTERNAL AIRBAGS TO SUPPLEMENT THE PRESENT SYSTEM WOULD OFTEN ELIMINATE THE NECESSITY OF INTERNAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN LOW VELOCITY CRASHES.          THE MOST OUTSTANDING FEATURE IS THAT DEPLOYMENT WOULD TAKE PLACE A FRACTION OF A SECOND BEFORE THE COLLISION. THIS WILL EITHER PREVENT THE ACCIDENT OR GREATLY REDUCE ITS SCOPE.          DESCRIPTIONS WILL INCLUDE MANUAL AS WELL AS LASER-COMPUTER DIRECTED VISUAL DEPLOYMENTS THAT WILL ACTIVATE ONLY IN INESCAPABLE COLLISION SITUATIONS.          APPLICABILITY: CARS, TRUCKS, TRAINS, TRAILERS SNOWMOBILES ETC.

Title: Self evacuating water-separating fuel filter
Inventor: BIERE DAVID A
IPC: F02M37/42
Filed: 1997-05-07
Abstract: A spin-on water-separating fuel filter has a built-in central drain tube for providing a sump port at the connection end of the spin-on filter located near the fuel inlet and fuel outlet ports. Water removed from the fuel is collected in a sump at the base of the filter. The drain tube, supported in the bore of the filter element, has a sump end projecting into the sump, and an outlet end adjacent to and aligned with a central threaded opening at the connection end of the filter. The outlet end of the drain tube, self-centered near the threaded opening, has a captured gasket which forms the sump port. When the filter is installed on the mounting head, the outlet end of the drain tube is coupled to a short stub tube projecting from the center of the central threaded neck to form a sealed passage for evacuating water from the sump.

Title: Cylindrical alkaline battery
Inventor: IWAKI HIROFUMI
IPC: H01M50/51
Filed: 1997-10-07
Abstract: A cylindrical cell is disclosed which is so constructed that an insulating ring (12) is seated on the outside of the sealed part of the opening part of a cell case (1), the terminal face of a negative electrode plate (9) is depressed below the outer face of a facing label (10) covering the insulating ring (12), and a gas discharge hole (8) formed in the negative electrode plate (9) is concealed with the insulating ring (12). This construction prevents the cell from allowing flow of a current to an adjacent cell and consequently from being charged by the adjacent cell. Since the cell uses a thermally shrinkable insulating facing member, it enjoys improved reliability of the outer covering. Even if a plurality of such cells of the construction described above are used as arranged in series and part of the cells are erroneously connected with the direction of polarity thereof reversed to the remaining cells, the possibility of the reversely connected cells allowing flow of current to the remaining cells and consequently being charged by the remaining cells will be precluded and the possibility of the device in use being smeared or harmed by the electrolyte otherwise suffered to leak when the reversely connected cells are charged by the remain-ing cells will be eliminated.

Title: Tantalum lined probe
Inventor: QUINTANA KEITH A
IPC: G01N17/00
Filed: 1997-11-13
Abstract: An electronic probe assembly having a probe for introduction into a vessel, which vessel has a corrosion resistant liner. The assembly comprises a ring having a body wherein the body is defined by a circumferential exterior surface, an upper sealing surface, a lower sealing surface and a central surface defining a central hole. The body also has a probe access hole passing through the body from the exterior surface to the central hole. The upper surface, lower surface and defining surfaces of the central hole are covered by a contiguous layer of a corrosion resistant metal, which is preferably tantalum. A probe is mounted in the probe access hole such that an end of a sensor portion of the probe is integral with said lining over the central surface and such that the probe may be connected with an electrical conductor through the probe access hole. The end of the sensor preferably comprises platinum which is welded to the tantalum to become integral therewith. The assembly is readily mounted to a vessel at a flange surface by placing a first corrosion resistant gasket between the lower sealing surface and the flange surface and a second corrosion resistant gasket between the upper sealing surface and a cover and tightening the cover to the flange thus compressing and holding the gaskets and allowing access of the sensor to the interior of the vessel and otherwise electrically isolating said assembly from the interior of the vessel.
