Title: Optical communication system
Inventor: KING DAVID
IPC: H04B10/155
Filed: 1999-05-20
Abstract: A method and system is provided which enables an n channel system to be upgraded into at least an (n-1)+p channel system wherein p>1, and wherein the n-1 channels are substantially wider channels than the p channels n uncooled inexpensive lasers not requiring optical isolators provide optical signals to the n broad channels, and p temperature compensated cooled lasers having optical isolators provide optical signals to the p channels. Advantageously, the system can be installed at a reasonable cost to the first n users and be upgraded in number of channels and cost as the need for the system to evolve and grow arises. This obviates the problems associated with justifying the cost of providing p channels for only n subscribers, wherein the p channels require more expensive cooled lasers.

Patent CA-2289256-A1 (CA)
Title: Window regulator mechanism having counterbalancing member
Inventor: SMITH PETER J
IPC: E05F11/48
Filed: 1998-05-06
Abstract: The present invention is a window regulator mechanism for moving a window panel mounted within a motor vehicle door. The mechanism comprises an elongated guide rail (18) member mounted within the vehicle door. A window moving structure (94) engages the window panel and is slidably mounted on the guide rail member (18) to allow the window panel to be moved generally vertically with respect to the vehicle door. A manually operated actuating mechanism slidably moves the window moving structure (94) along the guide rail member (18). An elongated, flexible counterbalancing member (90) is constructed and arranged to apply a counterbalancing force to the window panel that opposes a force of gravity acting on the window panel. The counterbalancing member has a first end (96) fixedly attached within the motor vehicle door, a second end (92) fixedly attached to the window moving structure (94), and an intermediate portion extending over a guiding portion (102) disposed above an uppermost position of the window moving structure. The counterbalancing member is formed from a flexible elastomeric material and is elastically deformed to an initial elastically deformed state when the window moving structure is in its uppermost position. The counterbalancing member is configured to elastically deform beyond its initial elastically deformed state as the window panel moves downwardly with respect to the vehicle door against the counterbalancing force of the counterbalancing member to thereby oppose the force of gravity acting on the window panel and thereby provide a controlled, downward movement of the window panel. The counterbalancing member resiliently returns to its initial elastically deformed state as the window panel moves upwardly with respect to the vehicle door. The counterbalancing member applies the counterbalancing force to oppose the force of gravity acting on the window panel as the window panel moves upwardly to thereby facilitate upward movement of the window panel.

IPC: E06C7/16
Filed: 1999-11-25
Abstract: A bench step to aid in mounting a bench platform provided by the common drywall bench is provided having a support portion adapted to be fit over a step rail provided by the drywall bench, the support portion being held in place on the step rail by a flange that extends from the support portion. A spacer portion extends from the support portion to distance the support portion from a step portion that extends out from the spacer portion. The step portion is provided with structural support by a step support portion that angles downwardly from the step portion to contact the drywall bench and thereby support the step portion. While the bench platform provided by the common drywall bench is usually accessed by stepping from the floor to a step rail provided by the bench and then subsequently stepping from the step rail to the bench platform, the bench step of the present invention facilitates access to the bench platform by providing,by means of the step portion, an intermediate step between the floor and the step rail. Preferably, to provide structural integrity, the bench step is formed from a single sheet of metal, such as aluminum, with each element of the bench step being formed by means of a bend in the metal.
