Patent CA-2211731-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DEMERDJIEV PETER GUEOURGIEV
IPC: A47C7/00
Filed: 1997-08-20
Abstract: All office chair bases have to ensure fast and smooth horizontal movement in all directions. The problem has so far been resolved with the use of castors as part of the architecture of the office chair base. In this invention the casters are eliminated and replaced by freely rotating balls with different diameters, located in shafts at the bottom part of the chair base. This is an entirely new approach to resolving the problem and a new aesthetic concept.

Inventor: WAGENER JEFFERSON L
IPC: F21V8/00
Filed: 1997-11-12
Abstract: Fiber-amplified spontaneous emission sources incorporating spectral filters show an improvement in mean wavelength stability versus a number of operating factors, including pump wavelength, pump power, feedback and temperature. By adjusting the spectral characteristics of the filter, the position of the filter along the length of the fiber, and the length of the rare-earth doped fiber, a stable ASE source is designed so as to provide stable operating points for the mean wavelength versus desired operating parameters. In many cases the sources show an improvement in mean wavelength stability by an order of magnitude or more over present sources.

Abstract: A comforter includes a main body portion and a peripheral region extending along at least one edge of the main body portion. With the comforter placed on a bed, the peripheral region defines an at least partially enclosed space between the upper surface of the bed and the main body portion of the comforter. The main body portion contains a fill material in a first weight per unit area and the peripheral region contains a fill material ina second weight per unit area greater than the first weight per unit area. In use, the greater weight per unit area of the peripheral region substantially reduces air circulation into and out from the at least partially enclosed space, creating insulating qualities that are improved over conventional comforters.

Abstract: A saving of energy has been a challenge for the inventors, constructors, etc, and it will be in the future.      So, the greenhouses builders have developed many different things to save energy. For example, there are many greenhouse covering materials: glass, acrylic, polycarbonate, fibreglass, polyethylene, etc. The target has been to obtain better insulating material, i.e, to obtain as less as possible heat transfer coefficient. It is well known that the air has the least heat transfer coefficient (.lambda.=0,023 W/mK at 0°C). I used this quality in my invention, i.e. I used the long air cushions(bags), joined lengthwisely making a whole, like supplement winter insulator of greenhouses roofs and walls. The bags are installed on the interior side of the roof and walls, which keep them from the ultraviolet rays. Also, I used the transparent plastic bags because of a good light transmission coefficient.

IPC: B60K17/35
Filed: 1998-03-20
Abstract: A transmission for a four-wheel drive vehicle having a multi-speed geartrain and power transfer mechanism incorporated into a common housing assembly. The multi-speed geartrain includes a input shaft, a mainshaft, and a plurality of constant-mesh gearsets arranged for selectively coupling the mainshaft to the input shaft for driven rotation at various speed ratios. The mainshaft can be selectively coupled to the power transfer mechanism for establishing two alternative power transmission routes. In particular, a range shift mechanism is provided for establishing a high-range power transmission route and a low-range power transmission route from the mainshaft to the input of an interaxle differential. The torque delivered to the interaxle differential is split between the front and rear drivelines to establish a full-time four-wheel drive mode. A transfer clutch is provided for automatically controlling slip and torque biasing between the outputs of the interaxle differential. As an option, a lock-out clutch can be provided for permitting the interaxle differential to be locked for establishing a locked four-wheel drive mode. As a further option, a mode clutch can be provided for permitting one of the drivelines to be selectively disconnected from the transmission for establishing a two-wheel drive mode.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for determining the amount of canting necessary to correct the ski boot-ski interface to compensate for inherent misalignment between a skier's lower leg and the bottom of the sole of his or her boots. The skier's foot is secured in the boot, and the boot is secured on a platform freely rotatable about a longitudinal centerline axis.   A rod also freely rotatable about the same axis is centered with respect to the knee by a knee clamp attached to the rod. A  pointer affixed to the rod is used to accurately determine the angle between the rod and platform on a scale extending from the boot platform. This angle is then used to guide the placement of shims or the employment of other means to effect the desired orientation of the knee, and consequently the lower leg, relative to the ski, for optimum control.
