Patent CA-2524837-A1 (CA)
Title: Self-optimizing symbology reader
Inventor: PAGE HARRY
IPC: G06V30/224
Filed: 2005-10-31
Abstract: The present invention provides a method to optimize the configuration of a symbology reader without the need for user intervention. Following a predetermined number of successful decodes, the reader automatically determines the symbology of interest and disables the decoding algorithms not being used. For example, if after four or five successful decodes have occurred and the unit determines that all of the successful decodes were of a single symbology type such as a PDF417 barcode, all other decoding algorithms, with the exception of the PDF417 decoder, will be disabled. Other embodiments may be included which adjust the scan window size and the image capture parameters of the reader based on the symbology of interest.

Title: An apparatus for analysing fluid taken from a body
Inventor: GUDMUNDSSON KRISTJAN FREYR
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2004-05-19
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to an apparatus for analyzing fluid taken from a body, and more in particularly for analyzing body fluids from mammals. The analysis apparatus is coupled to a dairy system for milking of cows, wherein it is useful to analyze the status of the milk. The apparatus is preferably located as early as possible in the production chain in order to obtain results as close as possible to the cows. Hence the environment in which the apparatus is to be used may be harsh towards internal apparatus modules or consumables, therefore the apparatus is isolated and the internal environment is conditioned regarding humidity, temperature as well as the amount of ammonium. Furthermore the steps for analyzing milk is automated inside the apparatus in order to avoid influence from the external environment.

Abstract: La présente concerne une disposition améliorée circulaire de structure de coque. La coque est divisée en sections par des plates-formes étanches. Les plates-formes sont raidies avec des angles ou des cornières à boudin incurvées pour former des cercles concentriques qui sont à leur tour soutenus par des poutres radiales espacées autour des plates-formes et s'étendant entre les coques intérieures et extérieures. Dans chaque section, les poutres longitudinales espacées radialement autour de l'intérieur de la coque extérieure se terminent aux plates-formes et attachent celles-ci sans les pénétrer. Les poutres longitudinales sont attachées aux plates-formes alignées avec les emplacements des poutres radiales qui s'étendent au travers des plates-formes vers les coques intérieures et extérieures. Un arrangement de panneaux raidisseurs sur la circonférence intérieure de la coque extérieure est fixé à ladite coque extérieure et aux poutres longitudinales. Les poutres longitudinales espacées autour de la circonférence extérieure de la coque intérieure s'étendent sur la longueur de la coque intérieure et sont fixées aux poutres radiales. Avec les poutres longitudinales intérieure et extérieure reliées aux poutres radiales, des charpentes résistantes aux moments sont créées et sont disposées radialement dans chaque compartiment. Ces charpentes raidissent les poutres individuelles et équilibrent les charges axiales différentielles dans les surfaces des coques intérieure et extérieure. Les compartiments sont assemblés en sections dans une orientation verticale pour minimiser la déformation due à leur propre poids lors de l'érection et pour offrir un accès direct aux grues du chantier lors de l'assemblage des sections entières. Les sections terminées sont pivotées à l'horizontale pour être jointes aux autres sections pour former un cylindre complet.

Patent CA-2548425-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FATTORI JOSEPH EDWARD
IPC: A61H23/02
Filed: 2004-12-13
Abstract: A drive system for imparting motion to a treating implement such as a toothbrush or the like includes a cam rotatably driven around an axis of rotation by a motor. The cam has a closed loop cam track eccentric to the axis of rotation. A control member is disposed between the cam and the treating implement head. The control member has a control slot extending completely through the control member. A pivot member is located between the control member and the treating implement head. The drive system further includes a drive shaft with its drive end freely mounted in the cam track. The drive shaft extends through the control slot and through the pivot member with its driven end operatively connected to the drive connection of the implement head. As a result, when the cam member is rotated the direction of movement of the drive shaft is controlled by the drive shaft being confined for sliding movement in the control slot. The drive shaft is still capable of rotating because of its free mounting in the cam track. The torque and the angle of oscillation imparted to the movable treating elements is determined by the location of the pivot member with respect to the treating head.

Title: Device for dispensing a fluid from a cavity of a container
Inventor: HAEUSSLER BERND
IPC: B67D1/04
Filed: 2005-03-26
Abstract: Disclosed is a device for dispensing a fluid, in particular a carbonated beverage, from a storage chamber of a container towards the outside via at least one closeable discharge port, comprising a pressure reservoir which is separated from the storage chamber and in which a pressurized propellant is accommodated, and which can be connected to the storage chamber via a pressure regulation mechanism. The pressure regulation mechanism includes an axially moveable regulating element that is impinged upon by means of a spring in the direction of an open position in which propellant is discharged from the pressure reservoir into the storage chamber. The ambient pressure to which the container is exposed acts upon the regulating element in the direction of the open position, and the internal pressure inside the storage chamber of the container acts upon the regulating element in the direction of the closed position.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur une nouvelle classe de complexes de ruthénium (II) contenant comme ligands des 2-(aminométhyl)pyridines et des phosphines, s'étant avérés extrêmement actifs comme catalyseurs dans la réduction des cétones en alcools par transfert d'hydrogène. En utilisant du 2-propanol comme source d'hydrogène, avec lesdits complexes de ruthénium, on peut obtenir rapidement de forts rendements de l'alcool correspondant en partant des alkyl aryl, dialkyl et diaryl cétones linéaires et cycliques. La conversion des cétones en alcools peut atteindre 100 % lorsqu'on opère dans une atmosphère d'hydrogène sous (2 - 3 atm). Si les phosphines utilisées sont optiquement actives, on peut, en partant de composés cétoniques prochiraux, obtenir différents types d'alcools optiquement actifs, importants intermédiaires dans l'industrie pharmaceutique, dans l'industrie agrochimique et d'une manière générale dans la production de produits chimiques fins.
