Patent CA-2187393-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRISTOW RON
IPC: A63B69/00
Filed: 1996-10-08
Abstract: An mechanical athletic training device includes a mobile carriage with a lockingdevice which locks the mobile carriage in a stationary position. An opponent simulator, such as a hockey stick, is connected to the mobile carriage by a pivoting connection. The mobile carriage combined with the pivoting connection allows the opponent simulator to interact with an athlete by simulating the movements and actions of a defensive or offensive player. The mobile carriage combined with the pivoting connection forces the athlete to anticipate the movements of the opponent simulator and play through the opponent simulator rather than around it. The opponent simulator can be activated manually by the athlete by striking the opponent simulator. Alternatively, the opponent simulator can be manually operated by an operator using a handle device attached to the pivoting connection. As a further alternative, an electric motor can be attached to the pivoting connection to automatically impart motion to the opponent simulator.

Title: Method and system for thermal graphic printing
Inventor: LOOK THOMAS F
IPC: E01F9/00
Filed: 1995-04-10
Abstract: A method of thermally transferring colorant from a movable ribbon (66) onto printable areas of a thermal print receptive sheeting (46). The method includes arranging a print head (44) so that its length is substantially parallel to the direction of travel of the thermal print receptive sheeting (46) and transferring colorant from the movable ribbon (66) to the sheeting (46) as the sheeting is stationary and the thermal print head (44) is moved in a second direction (x) substantially normal to the length of the thermal print head. The system includes a thermal print head (44), a transport for moving the thermal print receptive sheeting past the thermal print head in the first direction (y), and a mechanism that moves the print head in a second direction (x) normal to the first direction (y) when the print head is transferring colorant onto the sheeting.

Title: Method and apparatus for direct torque control of a three-phase machine
Inventor: POHJALAINEN PASI
IPC: H02P23/30
Filed: 1997-03-04
Abstract: A method and an apparatus  for direct  torque control are specified for a three-phase machine fed via a  harmonic  filter,  which  method  manages  as  far  as possible without any major adaptation to already known DTC  methods  and  DTC  apparatuses.  In  addition,  the oscillations caused by the filter are intended to be damped effectively. This is achieved in that a current flowing  through  the  filter  and/or  a  filter  output voltage are/is measured, and the reference flux value and the  reference torque value are corrected on the basis of the measured voltage and/or of the measured current.  The correction comprises a transformation of the  filter output voltage  into a  first component  at right  angles  to  a  stator  flux  and  into  a  second component parallel to the stator flux,  as well as a reduction in the reference torque and flux values in proportion to the oscillating part of the filter output voltage.

Abstract: A low cost LED array is formed from a plurality of modular units that are snapped together. Each modular unit consists of one or more U-shaped lead frame substrates which are overmolded with a thermoplastic insulator material (27, 29, 30). The lead frame substrates act as heat dissipators. The LEDs (32, 34, 36, 38, 40) are then bonded onto the upper surfaces of the lead frame substrates. A reflector unit is separately molded and has one cone-shaped reflector (44, 46, 48, 50, 52) for each light emitting diode. The lead frame unit such that the LED is disposed in the center of each cone. Each of the reflector units has several dovetail-shaped connectors (54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64) which enable the completed module to be connected to adjacent modules to form the array. The modules are then electrically connected together in series or in parallel according to the particular application. The arrays may be used for plant growth or in photodynamic therapy.

Title: Identifying changes in on-line data repositories
Inventor: BALL THOMAS J
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1996-10-25
Abstract: A system for accessing documents contained in a remote repository, which change in content from version-to-version. The system allows users to specify lists of documents of interest. Based on the lists, the system maintains an archive, which contains a copy of one version of each listed document, and material from which the other versions can be reconstructed. The system periodically compares the archive with current versions of the documents located in the respository, and updates the archive, thereby maintaining the ability to reconstruct current versions. The system also monitors access to the versions by each user. When a user calls for a current version, the system presents the current version, and indicates what parts of the current version have not been previously accessed by the user.

Title: Locking device for a side-release buckle
Inventor: BOURDON TED
IPC: A44B11/26
Filed: 1998-05-14
Abstract: A locking device for a buckle including a male member and a female member having coupling apertures formed in opposing sides.      The male member includes a pair of resilient arms having coupling tabs for cooperating with the coupling apertures of the female member. The female member has guide means for receiving a guide member on the male member during insertion of the male member into the female member. The female member is provided with a locking device in the form of a locking member slidable in a slot to a position where it prevents depression of one of the resilient arms to release the coupling tabs from the coupling apertures. The lock is released by sliding the locking member along the slot in a direction away from the resilient arm.      Accidental or unauthorised release of the buckle can therefore be prevented by providing the locking device on a side of the female member next to the wearer.

Abstract: A message dispatch system is provided for a multi-computer server having a number of server computers connected via respective server network links. The message dispatch system, which is connectable to an external telecommunications network, includes a message dispatcher configured to receive external client requests for the multi-computer server from the external telecommunications network and to dispatch the client requests to selected server computers via the server network links. The message dispatcher is configured to determine a server to which an external client request is to be dispatched in response to parameters representative of message traffic volume on the server network links. Load balancing is performed based onparameters representative of the server network link loading, rather than, or possibly in addition to measurements on processor loading. Suitable network loading parameters can be derived by monitoring packets passing from and/or to the individual server computers. The monitoring can be performed in the dispatcher, or in a switch or a separate traffic monitor between the dispatcher and the server network links, for example.

Title: Transport interface for performing protection switching of telecommunications traffic
Inventor: ROBERTS MARTIN
IPC: H04J3/16
Filed: 1997-03-25
Abstract: A transport interface (10) provides add drop multiplex functionality and termination requirements for the transportation of network traffic. The transport interface (10) includes high speed units (12), broadband interfaces (16), and SONET formatters (18). Each high speed unit (12), broadband interface (16), and SONET formatter has redundant protection pairs (A and B). The high speed units (12), broadband interfaces (16), and SONET formatters (18) communicate with each other by in-band datalinks (40). The redundant protection pairs (A and B) communicate with one another by protection pair datalinks (42). The in-band datalinks (40) and the protection pair datalinks (42) provide an effective means for performing protection switching within the transport interface (10) in the event of component failure. The in-band datalinks (40) are generated out of available or consumed bytes within either a section overhead (32) or a line overhead (34) of SONET OC-N frame (30). The protection pair datalinks (42) provide communication capability over a common control communications interface. The in-band datalinks (40) and the protection pair datalinks (42) work together to provide a smooth transition from one component to another in the event of a protection switch.
