Patent CA-2173265-A1 (CA)
Title: Cd handler
Inventor: CHAMPAGNE DOUGLAS KILBURN CLIV
IPC: G11B33/00
Filed: 1996-04-02
Abstract: This invention relates to the manual handling of typical Compact Discs, both audio and visual, including Compact Disc ROMs and Laser Discs. The usual method of handling these discs requires hand contact, which thereby may cause some damage or dirtiness to the discs via dirty, greasy fingers etc. It is also sometimes difficult or uncomfortable to load these discs easily. This may be due to such factors as: Long finger nails, thick and clumsy fingers, physical impairment in the hands, CD players or Computers that are difficult to load etc. The discs are most times locked into their Jackets tightly and difficult to remove. This may cause the disc to be dropped when released. The cleaner and less damaged the Discs are, the better they operate, and their usability span is increased. It is preferred to handle the discs carefully and cleanly, thereby reducing any potential damage, or interference with its highest capability. It is the purpose of this invention to enable the handling of C D discs in a more convenient, cleaner and less damaging fashion.

Patent CA-2179994-A1 (CA)
Title: Detection of counterfeits objects, for instance counterfeits banknotes
Inventor: HOPWOOD JOHN GEOFFREY
IPC: G07D7/00
Filed: 1995-01-04
Abstract: Detecting counterfeit banknotes is achieved by directing ultraviolet light at a sample from a source (104) and measuring the level of ultraviolet light reflected from the sample using a first photocell (105) and the amount of fluorescent light generated by the sample using a second photocell (106). The detected levels are compared with reference levels and only if both reflective and fluorescent criteria are satisfied is the note declared genuine. The sample, during test, is swiped over a glass window (102), preferably under an overlying shield.

Abstract: On inhibe la formation et l'accrétion de caillots ou de thrombus en administrant des substances de déplacement de thrombine à un patient. Ces substances comprennent soit des analogues de thrombine qui se lient à un site de liaison de thrombine sur la fibrine, soit des analogues de fibrine qui se lient à un site de liaison de fibrine sur la thrombine. Le déplacement de la thrombine hors du caillot ou du thrombus permet de libérer celle-ci dans la circulation sanguine, où elle est inactivée par des anti-protéinases endogènes. les analogues de fibrine qui se lient au site de liaison de fibrine sur la thrombine peuvent être rattachés à une seconde fraction de liaison qui se lie au site catalytique et/ou à un exosite I sur la thrombine et/ou qui inactive ce ou ces sites, afin d'assurer un inhibition accrue des thromboses. L'aptitude des substances d'essai à déplacer la thrombine est mesurée par exposition de la substance à un complexe thrombine-fibrine immobilisé.

Patent CA-2186274-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JEN CHENG-KUEI
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 1996-09-19
Abstract: A continuous casting process is used to produce an elongated metal article of fixed cross-sectional shape and having  an  embedded  optical  fiber  extending  along  its length, and suitable for use as an optical fiber sensor. The process comprises continuously feeding the fiber into a  bath  of  molten  metal,  continuously withdrawing the article from the bath through a mold having the desired cross-sectional  shape  and  simultaneously directing the fiber out of the bath through the mold so that the fiber emerges  embedded  in  the  article,   maintaining  the temperature  of  the  mold  above  the  solidification temperature of the metal, and solidifying the metal solely by cooling the metal article after it has left the mold. The temperature of the metal and the cooling and withdrawal rate are coordinated so that solidification of the metal occurs close to the point at which the article leaves the mold. The invention also includes the molding apparatus, and the optical fiber sensor produced by the process, this being characterized by unusual thickness of metal, and by longitudinal grain orientation of the metal.

Title: Fixture for aligning and clamping pipes
Inventor: LYCAN GOODWIN A
IPC: B23Q3/18
Filed: 1996-10-24
Abstract: A fixture for aligning clamping pipes end to end to enable joining the pipes by welding includes a collar circumscribing one of the pipes and circumferentially spaced arms extending outwardly from the collar and then coaxially with the pipes. Pipe clamps are supported by each of the arms at approximately 120 degree intervals about the pipe. The stems of the clamps are supported by the arms such that proper orientation of the clamping shoes and guide members is assured. Furthermore, an extension of the stem which projects between the pipes and carries an inner guide member for engagement with the inner circumferential surface of the pipe has a differential thickness such that the pipes are initially separated by a predetermined thickness by engagement of the pipes with the necked portion of the extension for tack welding. After tack welding is complete, the stems are rotated 90 degrees, thereby bringing a narrower dimension of the necked portion into registry with the gap between the pipes, permitting withdrawal of the stems.

Title: Arbitrary-geometry laser surface scanner
Inventor: MCCALLUM BRUCE CLINTON
IPC: G01B11/24
Filed: 1995-09-28
Abstract: An optical non-contact surface scanning method and system is described. The three-dimensional coordinates of an illuminated profile or spot on the object are recorded and the surface is reconstructed using spatial location and orientation information derived from a spatial location system associated with the object, illumination means, and image recording means. The illumination and imaging means may be hand-held in a combined unit or in separate units.  The scanning system allows complete free and arbitrary movement of the object and all components of the scanning during scanning this allowing scanning of substantially all of the surface which may be visible at various locations and orientations around the object. The optical non-contact scanning system may find particular application in medical imaging of the human body or parts thereof. It may further find application in industrial processes whereby the passage of arbitrarily shaped objects are monitored through a production line or similar situations.
