Patent CA-2461116-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PELLETIER MARIO
IPC: E04D3/38
Filed: 2004-03-15
Abstract: Disclosed is a flashing for weatherproofing an aperture made in a roof to allow passage of a vertical member such as a chimney through the roof. The flashing has a base member adapted to be mounted over the aperture made in the roof and on a surface of the roof surrounding the aperture. The base member is made of malleable material dressed to match the shape of roof surface. The base member comprises a panel having a top edge adapted to be positioned on an upper part of the roof, a bottom edge adapted to be positioned on a lower part of the roof, two opposite side edges and an opening, said opening being large enough to allow passage of the vertical member therethrough. The flashing also comprises a surrounding member being tubular in shape and extending upwardly from the base member to fit around the vertical member.      The bottom and surrounding structures are linked through a joining ring structure encircling a bottom opening of the surrounding member. The joining ring structure is attached to the surrounding member through a series of spot welds that traverse the base member sandwiched between the joining ring structure and the surrounding member. This flashing can be installed by (1) cutting a slot or lifting a surface in the upper part of the roof above the aperture made therein, so as to receive the top edge of the covering panel of the base member, (2) inserting the top edge of the covering panel into the slot cut in the roof or under the lifted surface, (3) positioning the bottom edge of the base member onto the lower part of the roof in such a manner that the bottom opening of the surrounding member is located on top of the roof aperture, (4) applying pressure to the top surface of the base member in various locations so that the base member adapts to the shape of the roof or tiles thereon and (5) fastening the base member to the roof.

Title: Laser system
Inventor: HOLLANDER MILTON BERNARD
IPC: G01J5/08
Filed: 2004-06-15
Abstract: An infra-red measurement device is disclosed having at least two laser emitters (2) which between them define a sighting area (7,7',7"). In one embodiment of the invention, two lasers are provided and these are each preferably split into a number of beams by means of, for example, a diffraction grating lens (4). The fact that there are two laser emitting devices, means that effectively twice the power can be utilised since the limit is per laser emitting device, and thus twice the brightness of a conventional device attained. In another embodiment of the invention, four laser emitters (2) are employed and the beams (6) can be split by a diffraction grating as before. The laser emitters in the device can be operated simultaneously, sequentially, or can be pulsed. Having greater brightness than conventional devices, the detectors of the invention are excellent for use in dark or smoky conditions, for example for obtaining the temperatures of car engines, furnaces and the like,

Title: Non-destructive testing of in-service wooden beams
Inventor: MAHAFFEY JAMES A
IPC: G01M7/08
Filed: 2004-10-12
Abstract: Wooden utility pole structures are nondestructively tested while in service, in particular utility pole cross-arms. A helicopter or boom truck brings an operator to the cross-arm. Manually striking the cross-arm using a hammer or other weight with an attached accelerometer senses and sends a shock wave through the cross-arm.  The shock wave also is sensed using a second accelerometer sensor in a temporarily affixed sensor pod at the other end of the cross-arm, or a Itematively, a non-contact radar vibration sensor is trained on a fastener in the cross-arm, to sense vibration from the shock wave. Practical aspects include mounting particulars for affixing the sensor pod against the cross-arm, manipulating the sensor pod at an elevation below the helicopter working platform, measurements for dimensions and density, etc. The data is received at a processor and correlated with structural strength or used to rank the relative strength of cross-arms.

Patent CA-2497724-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHOCKEY DAVID R
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 1997-07-10
Abstract: Tests for elevated pH and volatile amines in aqueous fluids are disclosed, including tests useful in the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis and in other biological conditions. By using formulated indicators and indicators held in matrices that are permeable to gas but not to liquid, the tests provide clear and sharp transitions detectable by visual or machine-readable means rather than by subjective judgements such as small gradations in color or olfactory determinations. The tests lend themselves readily to iconic readouts of the test indications and to the inclusion of positive and negative controls.
Patent CA-2497835-A1 (CA)

IPC: G06F3/0362
Filed: 2005-02-22
Abstract: A mobile electronic device (100/600) has a thumbwheel subassembly (116) having measurable rotatable and depressible input movements, for example, rolling the thumbwheel (118) up, rolling the thumbwheel (118) down and pushing the thumbwheel (118) inwards. Pushing the thumbwheel (118) with a measurable component of downward force may result in inadvertent rolling of the thumbwheel (118) down. Software or hardware may be used to cancel the inadvertent rolling of the thumbwheel (118) down when the timing of the push and the roll are too close. A thumbwheel assembly (116) may be oriented in a mobile electronic device (500/800) so that the direction (514/814) of depressible input movement of the thumbwheel (118) is substantially aligned with the direction (216/616) of the push by a user's thumb or finger that includes a measurable component of downward force.

Title: A system and method for building component applications using metadata defined mapping between message and data domains
Inventor: BIBR VIERA
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2005-02-25
Abstract: It is desirable to drive down the complexity involved in developing the wireless application by reducing the need to do any explicit coding, as well as reducing device resources utilized by the application when provisioned. Having an intelligent wireless device runtime environment (Device Runtime) that provides a set of basic services to manage the wireless application as a series if application components, and their interactions, can simplify the development effort and reduce resource allocation. The wireless application is described as a set of components. The data domain for this category of applications is defined using atomic data components. The communication between the device and a server is defined using atomic message components. Both message and data components are described in metadata using a structured definition language such as XML. The relationships between the message and data components are embedded in the XML definitions in the form of message/data mappings. Typically, outgoing messages are derived from some underlying data component and incoming messages affect the current state (or data representation) of the application. It is therefore apparent that the metadata defined mapping relationship is preferable between the expression of data and message components.
