Patent CA-2176785-A1 (CA)
Title: Terminal socket assembly
Inventor: MARTUCCI ROBERTO
IPC: H01R12/71
Filed: 1996-05-16
Abstract: A terminal socket assembly is adapted for mounting on a printed circuit board and includes a conductive terminal socket having a barrel portion insertable axially into a hole in the printed circuit board, with radially outwardly projecting wing portions for soldering to solder pads on the circuit board. A terminal-receiving dielectric housing mounts the terminal socket therewithin. The housing has walls which extend circumferentially about portions of the barrel portion of the terminal socket to prevent solder from wicking along exposed areas of the terminal and interfering with mating. The anti-solder wicking design allows a connector or component to be surface mounted directly on the surface of a circuit board to maximize the density of the entire assembly and the device in which it is used.

Patent CA-2178140-A1 (CA)
Title: Container cap with a measuring spout
Inventor: ROBBINS EDWARD S III
IPC: G01F11/26
Filed: 1996-06-04
Abstract: A cap for use with an associated container comprises a measuring spout which is wholly contained inside the cap and does not protrude into the container. The cap comprises a cap wall which is adapted to provide an opening in which the spout is seated. The spout comprises a forward wall and at least one side wall which forms an open-topped hopper. The spout pivots between a closed, filling position and an open, dispensing position. The spout is formed from a visually translucent material, such as any of a number of commonly available plastics. Volumetric measuring indicia are disposed on an outer surface of the forward wall of the spout, thereby allowing a user to determine and adjust the desired volume of the material prior to discharge of the material from the spout. The cap is also provided with upwardly and inwardly tapered portions which guide the material into the hopper. In use, the container-cap assembly may be tilted while the spout is in the closed position, so as to fill the hopper with a predetermined amount of particulate solid material from the container. The spout may then be opened to allow the user to dispense the desired volume of the material from the spout.

Abstract: The presence of an enzymatically active hydrolase in a fluid sample is detected by contacting the sample with a solid-phase conjugate which is susceptible to cleavage by the hydrolase, and simultaneously or shortly thereafter, contacting the sample with an indicator which undergoes a detectable change upon the action of a reporter group. The reporter group is part of the conjugate and is liberated from it either partly or entirely by the action of the hydrolase. The indicator is susceptible to action by the reporter group only upon decoupling of the reporter group from the remainder of the conjugate, the decoupling occuring either in part or entirely upon action of the hydrolase. Also provided by this invention are various forms of a dry, self-contained test device which contains the conjugate described above plus the indicator and all other reagents and components necessary to achieve a detectable indication of the presence or absence of a catalytically active hydrolase. Preferred embodiments of the device also contain positive and negative controls.

Title: Belt-driven glass gob distribution with broken belt detection
Inventor: LEIDY D WAYNE
IPC: C03B7/16
Filed: 1997-04-22
Abstract: A molten glass gob distributor for a glass article manufacturing system that includes a gob discharge, and at least one scoop for receiving gobs from such discharge and distributing the gobs among a plurality of troughs or chutes leading to associated molds in a multiple-cavity IS machine. The scoop is coupled by a cogged drive belt to an electric motor for oscillating the scoop through a cyclic path adjacent to the troughs or chutes. Rupture at the drive belt is detected by coupling first and second electronic sensors to the motor and the scoop so as to provide respective first and second electrical signals as functions of motion at the motor and scoop. Rupture at the drive belt is indicated as a function of a difference between the first and second signals, indicating loss of synchronization between the drive motor and the associated scoop.

Title: Microwave method to detect and locate cancers in heterogenous tissues
Inventor: BRIDGES JACK E
IPC: A61B5/05
Filed: 1997-04-28
Abstract: A method and system for detecting an incipient tumor in living tissue such as that of a human breast in accordance with differences in relative dielectric characteristics. A generator produces a non-ionizing electromagnetic input wave of preselected frequency, usually exceeding three gigahertz, and that input wave is used to irradiate the living tissue, being effectively focused into a minute, discrete volume within the tissue to develop a non-ionizing electromagnetic wave at that position. The illumination location is shifted over a portion of the living tissue in a predetermined scanning pattern. Backscatter signal returns from the living tissue are collected to develop a backscatter return signal wave. The backscatter wave is processed to segregate skin tissue backscatter to develop a segregated backscatter wave signal; that segregated signal, in turn, is employed to detect any anomaly, caused by differences in relative dielectric characteristics, that is indicative of the presence of a tumor or other abnormality in the scanned living tissue.
