Title: Multi-layer covering
Inventor: BARR OWEN DEREK
IPC: E04D12/00
Filed: 2004-07-05
Abstract: A multi-layer covering includes a flexible fabric layer. The fabric layer may be a fluffy blanket or a mesh. Where the fabric layer is a blanket it has a thickness of 2mm to 5mm, and is in the form of a batt or weave or spun bonded layer, and defining gaps between the strands of in the blanket. Where the fabric layer is a mesh the spacing between adjacent strands of the mesh is 3mm to 20mm. The multi-layer covering further includes a metallic reflective foil (or paper) support layer, and a layer of adhesive protected by a peel-off backing layer for ease of applying the covering to a surface. When covering a wall, the covering is stuck to the wall and one or more protective coatings of paint render such as acrylic are applied to the blanket with a brush or roller or spray. Acrylic render paints typically includes a relatively thick mixture of cement, sand and acrylic polymer. The coarse sand and cement particles penetrate into the gaps between the fibres of the blanket or the holes in the batt as far as the face of the wall and saturate the blanket with acrylic render paint. The blanket provides an even surface when coated with render paint and avoids the need for extensive preparation of the wall. The covering may also be applied to floors, ceilings and roofs and covered with differing coatings, including acrylic render, plaster, paint, glue, and other surface treatments. The covering may be used to cover cracks and undulations in buildings and other structures.

Patent CA-2533653-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KUREK STEPHEN R
IPC: H01H21/02
Filed: 2004-07-23
Abstract: There is disclosed a robust on-off rocker paddle switch operated by pushing on the lower portion of a rocker paddle to turn the switch "on" or "off'. The lower edge of the rocker paddle pivots in and out about its top or upper edge.  Bias means urges the lower portion of the rocker paddle to always be in its out position whether the switch is in the "on" state or position or the "off "state or position. The rocker paddle of the switch is not located within a frame and the surface of the switch has, along its vertical axis, a contour of positive first differential and zero second differential, comprised of a combination of splines which extend between points of varying distances from a datum plane. The contour has zero second differential when the rate of height increase of individual splines is constant. An actuator coupled to the rocker paddle (the face) of the switch causes a cam to rotate in a clockwise direction and in a counter clockwise direction as the rocker paddle is alternately depressed. The rocker paddle pivots about its top edge and repeated pressing on the lower surface of the rocker paddle causes the actuator to alternately rotate the cam in a clockwise direction and in a counter-clockwise direction. Alternate rotation of the cam drives a slider member having a triangular shaped cam follower along a first and a second opposite direction along a common linear axis. A cam shaped leaf spring cooperates with the triangular shaped cam follower to aid in the movement of the slider and determines its at rest position. An indicator such as a light can be used to indicate the state of conduction of the switch.

Title: Business software application system and method
Inventor: JANI ALI
IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 2004-08-27
Abstract: A business software application system and method integrates an e-mail management system, an e-mail client system, an HTML page generator system and a credit card payment processing system. The mail management method and system tracks correspondence exchanged with external entities such as customers and vendors, through e-mail messages, and the internal users of the system and the e-mail messages are then desirably imported into business software (of various types) and linkages created to such external entities within business software, from the E-mail Clients. The e-mail client enables organizations to store e-mail communication as part of the business software database and those stored e-mail communications would be available to any user of the software within the organization, so that the communication carried out historically can be referenced, retrieved and/or reused. The HTML page generator can be used by any business software application User and uses pre-defined HTML  Templates with proprietary iTags that are installed along with the product on the client system. The HTML page generator replaces these iTags with dynamic data while creating the static HTML pages. These static HTML pages can then be submitted to search engines in order to increase traffic to an online shop.  The credit card payment processing system has a credit card transaction interface that interacts with another payment processing software or payment gateway to process the transactions. The credit card payment processing system allows the business software application system to interface with another payment processing software or payment gateway although the format and communication protocol used by the Business Software System is different from the format and protocol required by the payment gateway or Payment Processor.

Filed: 2004-09-16
Abstract: A medical pump includes a chassis (122) having a fixed seat (162), and a main carriage (78) having a carriage footing (92) for receiving a fluid delivery device and restricting its movement. An actuator (198) automatically moves the main carriage between open and closed positions to engage the fluid delivery device to the seat. The seat establishes the position of both the main carriage and fluid delivery device in the closed position. The actuator is connected to the main carriage by a rear carriage assembly having a manual release element for disengaging the actuator from rear carriage assembly and thereby from the main carriage. A processing unit detects jam conditions by processing carriage position data and electrical load data from the actuator.

Inventor: RIEDEL MATTHIAS
IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 2004-08-13
Abstract: A mechanism for a bidirectional QoS reservation procedure within an in-band signaling mechanism gives symmetric real-time services running on mobile devices, which are used to support different access technologies in dynamic, mobile, wireless IP networks where the quality of the node connectivity can sometimes be unpredictably time-varying, the possibility to mutually reserve, monitor and adapt QoS resources and service parameters for up- and downstream direction along a communication path. The proposed solution thereby optimizes conventional QoS reservation mechanisms, especially for adaptive real-time services in wireless and wireless ad-hoc networks, by making use of a dynamic bidirectional QoS reservation in-band signaling approach. The expression ,in-band" re~fers to a situation where separation between control and user plane data is abandoned.

Abstract: The invention proposes to dispense a substance from a container (1) filled with a single portion of a substance. The container comprises a preformed deformable body, preferably made of sheet material, defining a filling cavity which body has an opening (6) and an integral planar circumferential rim (5) surrounding said opening, which opening is closed by a cover sheet (7) which is sealed to the circumferential rim (5) by means of a circumferential sealing seam (10). The container with the substance is opened by making use of the deformability of the cover sheet (7). A support surface supports the cover sheet (7) except at the position of a recess (10b). The recess (10b) is positioned at least over a part of the circumferential sealing seam. Upon compression of the container body the substance is pressurized and the cover sheet (7) bulges out into the recess (10b) such that the sealing seam (10) is broken at the location where the bulge is formed resulting in the container being open.

Abstract: Stretch wrapping equipment includes a dispenser for dispensing stretch wrap packaging material. The dispenser includes upstream and downstream prestretch rollers for engagi ng and stretching stretch wrap packaging material. Relative rotation is provided between the dispenser and the load to wrap the stretch wrap packaging material around the load. A first hydraulically, pneumatically or electrically operated finger engages the rope or trailing edge of the film, pulls down the rope and holds it away from the load. A second finger captures the subsequent wrap, a nd pulls the wrap down behind the previous layer. The first finger then releases the film or rope. The second finger then releases the film in sequence, clamping, cutting and trapping the final wrap behind the penultimate layer, securing it to the load.
