Inventor: O'DONNELL PATRICK
IPC: H02G3/14
Filed: 1999-07-29
Abstract: A plate for supporting at least one electrical switch of the type commonly known as snap-in switches, such as snap-in rocker switches, so that the plate and attached switch or switches can be mounted to a standard electrical switch box of the type used in homes in North America. Snap-in type switches enter rectangular holes in the plate and are attached to the plate by means of retaining clips that offer an outward spring force against two sides of a rectangular opening. The rectangular holes in the plate are correctly sized so that the rectangular holes will readily accept an inserted snap-in type switch and retain the switch on the plate in the intended manner. At least one pair of holes is present on the plate to allow screws, such as size 6-32 screws, to pass through the holes and into the threaded holes on a standard electrical switch box of the type installed within walls in North American homes, so that the plate and the switches may be attached to the switch box by use of screws. Holes provided for use with attachment screws are located on the plate so that the holes correspond to the location of the holes on switch boxes that are intended for mounting devices such as receptacles or switches. One pair of holes is present on the plate for each ganged switch box present behind the plate. The plate is of sufficient size to completely cover a switch box or a group of ganged switch boxes while the attachment screw holes on the plate properly align with the corresponding threaded holes on the switch box or switch boxes. The plate allows multiple snap-in type switches to be installed at a single gang switch box and these grouped snap-in switches are intended for use in low voltage systems, i.e. 30 Volts or less. The plate may be painted to contrast with snap-in switch colors, producing attractive and compact grouped switches.

IPC: G06M7/00
Filed: 1993-05-18
Abstract: Mail can be sorted automatically to point of delivery level by deriving from the address including postal code on a piece of mail a suffix which together with the postal code forms routing data which uniquely identifies the final delivery address.      This is achieved automatically at the Post office sorting facility by means of an optical character reader which reads the addresses on mail items and a computer arranged to generate a suffix based on the address read. The routing data is printed as a bar code on the mail item and this allows the complete sortation to be effected automatically. Also contemplated is a progressive encoding system which can be applied as bar codes by customers as desired to mail pieces. The basic data is the routing data set to which can be added a shipment number which allows automatic revenue accounting control and a piece number which allows automatic track and trace. Finally, the customer may also progressively encode return mail envelopes with the shipment number followed by a product code and a user defined field which permits automatic specialized handling of the return mail item.

Patent CA-2302822-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANTONOV ROUMEN
IPC: F16H61/02
Filed: 1998-09-03
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for adjusting the smooth engagement of a gear ratio shift wherein a planetary train (7) is engaged in direct gear by the action of centrifugal counter-weights (29) locking a clutch (18). The clutch release can be derived either from a hydraulic actuator (18) or from axial reactive forces of the ring helical toothing, reaction which is transmitted by an axial stop (B2). In order to prevent the clutch (18) from being suddenly locked by the action of the counter-weights (29) in particular when the torque to be transmitted quickly disappears, a control unit (453) detects the instantaneous ratio (VE/VS), and generates measured back pressure in the actuator (45) while the counter-weights (29) are locking the clutch (18). The invention is useful for adjusting the smooth engagement of gear ratio shifts.

Patent CA-2307504-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MAASS HENNING
IPC: G01S5/00
Filed: 1999-08-19
Abstract: The invention comprises an arrangement with which mobile objects can be located in particular areas. The mobile objects for locating, e.g., persons or inanimate objects, are provided with a data carrier which determines the absolute position using a position-determining system such as e.g., GPS. For many applications, it is not always necessary to know the absolute position of the object. Information about the area in which the object is located is usually sufficient. In order to optimise the exchanging of data between the application that requires the location of the data carrier and the object itself, the absolute position of the objects is transmitted to an information unit when the data carrier is initialised. Said information unit translates the co-ordinates using a digitised map or a plan divided into areas so that the object can be allocated to a corresponding area. This data is stored in the information unit. The boundaries of the area in which the object is located are transmitted to the data carrier and if the object changes its position, the data carrier itself can determine whether the object has left an area. If the current position of the data carrier no longer matches the area information, the data carrier reports its position to the information unit again. If an application requests the position of a data carrier, the information unit transmits the data carrier area information that has been stored to the application. This results in optimal communications between the applications and the data carriers. The position of the data carrier can be established even when the data carrier cannot be reached momentarily.
