Patent CA-2434494-C (CA)
Inventor: AINO SHIGEYUKI
IPC: G06F15/16
Filed: 2003-07-07
Granted: 2008-11-25
Abstract: A lock-step synchronism fault-tolerant computer system includes a plurality of computing modules having a processor and a memory in which each computing module processes the same instruction string in synchronization with each other. When disagreement in a state of access to an external bus among the respective processors in each computing module is detected, if no fault is detected in the system including the respective computing modules, an interruption is notified to all of said processors. Synchronization among each computing module is recovered by adjusting timing of a response to an access which each processor executes by an interruption.

Title: Phased array ultrasonic inspection method for industrial applications
Inventor: BATZINGER THOMAS JAMES
IPC: G01S7/523
Filed: 2003-09-04
Granted: 2010-03-30
Abstract: A method for inspecting a component (10) includes exciting a number of transducers (12) forming an array (14) to produce an ultrasonic transmission beam (beam) focused into the component. The array and the component are separated by a standoff (18). A number of echo signals are generated using the transducers, and the echo signals are processed in a number of channels (20). The processing includes both dynamical focus and providing a dynamic aperture (24) on receive, both of which compensate for refraction of the beam at the component/standoff interface. A single-turn inspection method includes: (a) positioning the array facing the component, (b) exciting the transducers, (c) generating a number of echo signals, (d) changing the relative angular orientation of the array and the component around an axis (26) and repeating steps (b) and (c), and (e) processing the echo signals to form at least one processed echo signal.

Title: Abdominal exerciser
Inventor: MANCINI PAUL
IPC: A63B23/02
Filed: 2003-09-15
Granted: 2007-08-07
Abstract: Abdominal exercisers allow a user to perform sit-ups without straining their back. A set of adjustable handles allow the user to use his or her arms and upper body to assist the upward motion of the torso if necessary, thereby reducing back strain. A head and neck cushion and seat cushion support the user, and footrests hold the user's feet in place. Nonskid pads are attached to the bottom of the abdominal exerciser to prevent it from slipping during use. The abdominal exerciser folds in half for ease of transport and storage.

Title: Method for preparing wellbore casing for installation
Inventor: SLACK MAURICE WILLIAM
IPC: E21B17/10
Filed: 2002-06-13
Granted: 2011-09-27
Abstract: A method has been invented for enhancing the installability of wellbore casing such as for use to line a borehole through a formation or to act as a drill string and to remain in hole, after drilling, to line the borehole created by its use. A device supporting the installation of wellbore casing into a wellbore is crimped onto the outer surface of the casing. An interference fit is created by plastic deformation inwardly in radial direction. The device supporting casing installation can be to facilitate (1) run in through the borehole (2), to maintain positioning relative to the borehole (3) or to accommodate wear against the wall of the borehole into which the casing is run. The devices supporting the installation of wellbore casing are attached to the casing to create a connection having structurally significant axial and torque load transfer capacity.

Title: One-use retracting syringe with positive needle retention
Inventor: SHAW THOMAS J
IPC: A61M5/50
Filed: 2002-12-02
Granted: 2007-11-13
Abstract: A retracting syringe of one use has a plunger comprising a handle porti on and a needle retention portion forward of the handle portion which serves as the plunger and preferably also serves to trigger the retraction mechanism when the hand le is moved forward beyond the forward end-of-injection position. The positive locking stricture in the syringe barrel permits one withdrawal of the handle in the rearward direction to fill the variable fluid chamber and one movement in the forward direction to empt y the variable fluid chamber but thereafter limits the rearward movement of the needle retention chamber and/or the handle to ensure that the syringe cannot be reused even if the user fails to trigger the retraction device to retract the needle. In on e embodiment, the positive locking structure is a stop in the syringe barrel which allows a diametrically enlarged portion of the needle retention chamber to move past the lock when going forward and having a two part separable handle. The handle portion merely separates after one use and is removed from the syringe without withdrawing the needle retention chamber or needle which are protected by the barrel. In a second embodiment, the handle behind the needle retention chamber has a plurality of stepped serrations and a clip which is movable withrespect to both the handle and the barrel. After one use of the syringe, points on the clip dig into the inner surface of the barrel to prevent rearward movement. In a third embodiment the positive locking structure is a clip fix ed in an enlarged back opening of the barrel with springing points which are protecte d from a plurality of stepped serrations on the handle by sliding collar which can mo ve only one way relative the handle like those of the second embodiment. After one use t he sliding collar slides forward with the handle allowing the handle to be fully depressed to make the injection. Any attempt to withdraw the handle after one injection is prevented by the points digging into the serrations on the handle. Since the handle cannot be withdrawn a second time, the syringe cannot be refilled. The one use feature disclosed herein can be applied to a nonretracting syringe to prevent reuse.
