Patent CA-2134282-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FOURNIER RAYMOND
IPC: G05G9/047
Filed: 1994-10-25
Abstract: It is proposed that a real or virtual slave system with p degrees of freedom is controlled by means of a manual control member comprising a handle (10) formed by an active part (12) and one or two information return parts (14). A speed or displacement transducer or sensor (24) can be mounted in the active part (12) in order to produce signals used for controlling the slave system. Actuators, e.g, fitted in a support connected to the handle (10) by a flexible cord (22), receive informations from the slave system and transform them into a torque. This torque is transmitted to the information return part (14), e.g. by cables (30,34), so that a stress or force representative of the information from the slave system is applied to the hand of the operator.

Title: Printing inks and method of ink jet printing
Inventor: DAVIES NICHOLAS A
IPC: C09D11/00
Filed: 1993-08-16
Abstract: An ink jet printing ink comprises an image forming agent in a hot melt composition which is a solid at ambient temperature and a liquid at or below the temperature of jet formation, typically between 80 ·C and 130 ·C. The hot melt composition is a thermally reversible eutectic composition formed from compounds having melting points of at least 100 ·C.

Abstract: Abstract of the Invention A  system  and  apparatus  for  accumulating  and stitching   collations   at   high   speed   comprise   an accumulation device situated at an upstream end of a deck in which sheets are stacked to form a collation.   The accumulation device includes a stacking area, a transport for  conveying the  sheets  into  the  stacking  area,  and first gating structure for stopping the sheets  in the stacking  area  to  form  the  collation.    A  containment device  that  is  adjacent  to  a  downstream  end  of  the accumulation device includes second gating structure for stopping  the  collation  for  other  than  lead  edge stitching.    A  stitcher  is adjacent  the  first  gating structure for stitching the collation when a lead edge of the collation is at either the first gating structure or the second gating structure.   A pusher transport moves the  collation  from  the  accumulation  device  to  the containment device and transports the collation from the containment  device.   A controller  controls  the pusher transport wherein  the pushers  square  the  collation  at substantially the moment an end of collation sheet  is conveyed  against  the  first  gating  structure.     The controller  is coupled  to  an  encoder  for  tracking  and controlling the position of  said pushers.   The system also includes the capability for correcting the position of said pushers after a power loss.

Title: Process for preparing 3-(4-aminoethoxy-benzoyl)benzo¬b|- thiophenes
Inventor: ALT CHARLES ARTHUR
IPC: B01J27/16
Filed: 1995-07-20
Abstract: The invention provides a process for preparing 6-alkoxy-3-(4-alkoxyphenyl)benzo[B]thiophenes in good yield on a manufacturing scale without generating a thick, potentially yield-reducing, paste.  The invention also provides methods for converting a-(-alkoxyphenylthio) -4-alkoxyacetophenones  into 6-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-[4-(2-aminoethoxy)-benzoyl]benzo[B]thiophenes via acylation of a dialkoxy benzo[B]thiophene. Each of these preparations relies on an intramolecular cyclization of a dialkoxy acetophenone derivative to yield a benzo[B]thiophene without generating a thick paste that lowers overall yields on a manufacturing scale.

Title: Peristaltic pump and valve assembly for fluid processing systems
Inventor: CHAPMAN ARTHUR S
IPC: F04B43/12
Filed: 1994-03-17
Abstract: A peristaltic pump includes a pump race for receiving a flexible tubing. A rotatable pump rotor (292) carries at least one roller (300) for contacting the tubing (134/136). A roller locating mechanism (306) moves the pump roller between a retracted position for free contact with the tubing and an extended position making operative contact with the tubing. A controller (246) operates the pump (i) in a pumping mode, during which the rotor (292) is rotated with the roller (300) located in its extended position, and (ii) in a valving mode, during which rotation of the rotor is terminated and the roller is selectively moved between its extended position to block fluid flow through the tubing and its retracted position to permit fluid flow through the tubing. The pump thus provides a peristaltic pump pumping function, as well as serving as a valve element.

Title: Railway rail fastening assemblies including resilient railway rail fastening clips and associated insulators
Inventor: WOOD TIMOTHY ALAN
IPC: E01B9/48
Filed: 1995-11-01
Abstract: In an assembly for use in fastening a railway rail to an underlying rail foundation, a resilient railway rail fastening clip (1, 2,3) has at least one portion (1a) which when in use bears on, and extends substantially parallel to, a flange (301) of an adjacent railway rail (300), and retains an insulator (13, 13') for electrically insulating the clip (1, 2, 3) from the rail (300) when in use.  The insulator (13) is held in engagement with the clip (1, 2, 3), which has a rail bearing portion of substantially circular cross-section, such that it can rotate about the longitudinal axis of the said rail bearing portion (1a).  Unlike the prior art the insulator is self-aligning on the rail flange (301) when the rail (300) moves.  One insulator (13, 13') disclosed has at least two load bearing surfaces (13a), such that it may be rotated so as to present an unworn load bearing surface (13a) to the rail flange (301).  The thickness of material between the load bearing surfaces (13a) of the insulator (13, 13') and the rail bearing portion (1a) of the clip (1, 2, 3) may be made to vary between adjacent load bearing surfaces (13a), such that the insulator (13) can be rotated so as to adjust the height of the rail bearing portion (1a) above the rail flange (301).

Title: Computerized microscope specimen encoder
Inventor: KAMENTSKY LOUIS A
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 1994-07-08
Abstract: A computerized slide encoder for use with microscope analysis and pathological studies. The slide encoder is attached to the movable microscope stage, whereby x-y direction plane movement and location, is correlated to examination of an identified slide, with information marking and location being directly correspondingly written, at pre-defined times, on computer storage media, during the examination. Subsequent use of the computer-stored information, coupled with the slide encoder, in a slide re-examination, permits independent retrieval of such information and location on the slide. The computer storage media includes digitized vocal transcription of history of the slide made during the original examination. An embodiment of the slide encoder includes a computer mouse pen affixed to the stage of the microscope and a rolling surface, for the mouse pen, being affixed to the movable slide holder. Examination movement of the slide causes a corresponding movement of the rolling surface and the roller ball of the mouse pen. Alternatively, the control movement of the slide holder and microscope stage is directly linked to a computer bus for a direct, software controlled, recordation of slide examination and information location markings.
