Title: Load transference element for laying concrete slabs
Inventor: SERRO MANUEL FILIPE LOURENCO
IPC: E04B5/43
Filed: 1997-12-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to a load transference element for laying concrete slabs intended to avoid differential settlements between adjacent concrete slabs in paving on elastic soils, which element has a base (1) and two anchorage elements (2), both of which are made of steel. It is essentially characterised in that it also includes a W- shaped joint blade (3) and a bar (4) for attaching the blade and supporting the formwork of the joint, making it possible to simultaneously create a retraction, contraction and dilation joint. The aforementioned element is attached to a connecting joint blade (6) and an intersection blade, which fit inside the blade (3) and both ensure the guiding and watertightness of the joints. This element, as well as efficiently ensuring the creation of a retraction joint, also guarantees watertightness by preventing water or other residual liquids present in the paving from infiltrating into the foundations and allowing perfect adaptation to the irregular oscillations of the foundations. It is intended to be used in road paving, industrial paving, paving in ports and airports and any paving with dynamic or static requirements.

Abstract: A speed limiting mechanism for motorized vehicles is described herein. The speed limiting mechanism is connected to a conventional steel pulling cable coming from the accelerator and to a conventional steel pulling cable going to the carburetor of the motorized vehicle.  When the mechanism detects that the key used to start the motorized vehicle is a normal key, the solenoid actuator is energized and a pulley of the mechanism rotates about a central pivot.  When the mechanism detects that the key used to start the motorized vehicle is a reduced speed key, the solenoid actuator is not energized and the pulley of the mechanism rotates about an offset pivot.

Abstract: Procédés de production de folliculostimuline bovine recombinante (bFSH), et vecteurs et cellules utilisables dans ces procédés. Il s'agit notamment de vecteurs à base de baculovirus adaptés pour l'expression de la bFSH dans les cellules d'insectes. La bFSH est une protéine hétérodimère appartenant à une famille d'hormones glycoprotéiques produites dans l'hypophyse ou dans le placenta, et elle trouve application dans de nombreuses applications associées à la fécondité. L'expression de la bFSH dans les systèmes de type baculovirus/cellules d'insectes permet d'obtenir une bFSH recombinante présentant une activité remarquablement élevée dans un dosage de récepteurs de FSH humaine et/ou dans un dosage d'ovocytes immatures bovins. Les gènes codant les sous-unités de la bFSH peuvent être présents sur un seul vecteur dérivé de baculovirus ou sur plusieurs vecteurs que l'on doit soumettre à la co-transfection.
Patent CA-2225268-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YUEN KI SHEUNG
IPC: H05K5/02
Filed: 1997-12-19
Abstract: A tamper proof arrangement utilizes a multi-layered conductive/non-conductive electrical member to electrically connect electrical contact pairs located on a circuit board.  The electrical member is supported by caps associated with a housing which contains the circuit board. Release of the end caps from the housing results in the electrical contact member breaking the connection between electrical contact pairs.  This arrangement is particularly suited where a series of contact pairs are present and the electrical member closes each pair separately.  In this way multi-pole switches are formed.

Title: Cueilloir
Inventor: GAGNON GERALD
IPC: A01D46/247
Filed: 1998-04-22
Abstract: Dans un outil servant à cueillir les petits fruits sauvages comme les bleuets, on retrouve une partie que l'on peut désigner du nom de griffes ou peigne et d'un contenant auquel se rattache les griffes pour former un tout que je nommerai cueilloir bien que dans le langage courant on donne le nom de peigne à l'ensemble de l'instrument. Très souvent ce genre d'instrument de cueillette offre des inconvénients que la nouvelle invention veut éliminer. Le premier étant que lorsque le cueilleur doit pencher son instrument par en avant, une partie des petits fruits ont tendance à sortir par en avant. La nouvelle disposition des griffes retient les petits fruits à l'intérieur avant du cueilloir. Cependant , s'il y a beaucoup de petits fruits déjà cueillis, ce rebord que forme la courbe des griffes ne suffit pas. Aussi, est-ce nécessaire que le cueilloir possède un système gui permette de remiser ponctuellement la plus grande partie des fruits cueillis afin qu'ils ne reviennent plus vers le devant du cueilloir. D'où l'importance de la présence d'une paroi inclinée qui puisse laisser passer les petits fruits dans un sens et les empêcher de revenir dans l'autre sens si l'on penche le cueilloir vers l'avant durant le travail. Un couvercle arrière est alors nécessaire pour faire l'évacuation de la plus grande partie des fruits cueillis . Ce nouveau cueilloir est d'une grande utilité pour la cueillette en forêt où il est très difficile de travailler à cause de la longueur des tiges et la présence de nombreuses broussailles. De plus, en ajoutant des roues au cueilloir il devient adapté à la cueillette dans les bleuetières où les tiges sont courtes et obligent le cueilleur à se pencher jusqu'à terre voir même se mettre à genou. Pour éliminer ces inconvénients l'utilisation d'un bras-ceuilleur est possible grâce à un système agrippeur reliant celui-ci au cueilloir et combiné à un levier en parallèle qui oblige l'arrière du cueilloir à se maintenir en place malgré les petits obstacles qui cherchent à déstabiliser ce dernier pendant le déplacement sur le terrain.

Abstract: A   private   broadcasting   system   includes communication terminals which are coupled to both a broadcasting network and point-to-point network.   A private   broadcasting   device included   in   the broadcasting  system  is  coupled  to  a database  that contains  a  pool  of  encryption  keys  and a  pool of channel  numbers.    The  encryption  keys  and  channel numbers are assigned to a private broadcast request when  the  communicating partners  of  the  private broadcast  request  are  available  for communication. The encryption key and channel number is issued to each of the participating terminals.   Each of the participating terminals encrypts and de-encrypts the information  transmitted  on and  received  from  the broadcasting channel at the assigned channel number. In this way, the terminals communicate with each other privately excluding all other terminals that are not part of the private broadcast communication.

Abstract: Apparatus (10) for recovering fumes from a roofing kettle (12) includes a fan (72) for drawing air from the hollow interior of a housing (20).  A conduit (34) extends through the housing front wall (22) and terminates in the hollow interior.  A burner assembly (44) is disposed within the conduit (34) for providing a flame within the conduit (34).  The housing side wall (30) includes a fresh air intake (78).  A flexible metal hose (80) extends between the outer free end of the conduit (34) and the roofing kettle (12).  Rotation of the fan (72) causes air to be drawn from the interior of the housing (20) and in turn through the fresh air intake (78), through the conduit (34) and the hose (80) from the interior of the kettle (12), and through the duct (46) and tube (58) of the burner assembly (44).  Fumes are thereby drawn from the kettle (12) through the conduit (34) and are burned or otherwise consumed in the conduit (34) so that the emissions from the outlet (76) of the fan (72) are clear and generally free of odor.

Title: Scalable multi-processor architecture for simd and mimd operations
Inventor: SGRO JOSEPH A
IPC: G06F15/80
Filed: 1997-01-10
Abstract: A multiprocessor device capable of operating in both MIMD and SIMD modes which include an array of parallel processor elements (1) connected via link ports on each element (39-41). A multiplexing means (3) is provided for dynamically configuring the connection topology between link ports so that a direct connection (101, 103) can be made between any two processor elements (39-41).  Local dual-ported memory (23-26) is associated with each processor element in the array (1) and is connected through a first port to its associated processor element and through a second port to a multidimensional DMA  controller (7). The DMA controller (7) transfers data autonomously between the processor elements (1) and global resources (11, 13), including a global memory (11). For SIMD mode operations, the DMA controller broadcasts duplicate instructions to the dual-ported memory associated with each processor element, and the instructions are executed by each processor element (39-41) in synchrony.
