Patent CA-2805534-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SALIM FARAH
IPC: H02J50/20
Filed: 2013-02-11
Abstract: As most of the available mobility support tools like walkers are based on the elderly or the disabled person using them to initiate the move, and they usually need to be attended by a care giver or another person if they (the users) are not fully capable of doing so by themselves.  Also, neither the mobility support devices, be it a mobile electric chairs or so, which are serving other purposes; nor the robotic suits or devices available are solving the problems of the simple body moves that need to have full physical strength and control of the body, supported by the energy that the normal healthy human body has (supported by the full strength of bone and muscle mass). This inventive idea focuses instead to empower the elderly and provide them with a mean to conquer major and common problems that most people go through as they age; like lack of strength, power, energy, memory and the general physical movement capabilities of the human body. It is to force the correct posture and move of the intended user (be it elderly/disabled); other than the simple cane or walker could provide, as and where they (the users) usually tend to lose their balance and fall for different reasons like lack of overall strength, or loss of memory that lead to failure in remembering the right moves ("the how") to form a correct and balanced step that puts the body into motion or stationery mode. Though intended users would still need the help of another person, especially at the time when they have to get on/off the AUD-M. This device, aim to provide the elderly people with the needed support to their skeleton and joints, where most people usually experience problems as they grow older. The muscle mass of the body gets weaker, fail to hold the body and support its weight. Also, the brain cells do not receive the right signals as the nerves fade out and age as we grow older, which results in failure in translating the attempted moves. Therefore, the device is programmed to accommodate three main moves:  standing, sitting and walking. In such cases, AUD-M will give them back their freedom that they have lost along the years and relief them from their psychological pain, dealing with their old age illnesses and being dependent on other people for all their activities. Specially, when people have been very active in their life and a sudden physical deterioration force the capabilities of their body to limited movements.

Title: Entassement et compression de morceaux de matieres compressibles
Inventor: NISSEN PER
IPC: B65B63/02
Filed: 2011-08-26
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un système et à un procédé servant à entasser et à comprimer des morceaux de laine isolante. Le système comprend une tour d'entassement (101) destinée à recevoir et à entasser lesdits morceaux de laine isolante et un moyen destiné à comprimer lesdits morceaux de laine isolante entassés, qui comprennent de multiples morceaux de laine isolante. Le système comprend en outre une première (103) et une seconde (105) plaque de compression comportant des surfaces supérieure et inférieure planes et lisses, la plaque de compression pouvant coulisser entre deux morceaux de laine isolante comprimés. Les plaques de compression (103, 105) sont conçues pour recevoir une charge entre lesdites plaques de compression et pour comprimer ladite charge grâce au déplacement d'une plaque de compression vers l'autre. Ainsi, la pression exercée sur les morceaux de laine isolante n'a pas besoin d'être allégée après que les morceaux ont été comprimés une fois car le système et le procédé permettent d'augmenter progressivement la compression vers le bas de la tour d'entassement par déplacement entre les première et seconde plaques de compression utilisées pour comprimer une charge de morceaux de laine isolante.
