Title: Handle and timer assembly for a barbecue grill
Inventor: KOZIOL WALTER
IPC: A47J37/07
Filed: 1991-03-22
Granted: 1998-05-19
Abstract: A handle and timer assembly for a barbecue grill wherein the time that a cooking operation is taking place can be readily ascertained and is integrally mounted with a handle for opening the cover of the barbecue grill.  The timing mechanism is preferably of a spring winding type and is mounted on the handle at a location spaced from the attachment to the grill.  This not only affords a timing mechanism for cooking in conjunction with the grill wherein heat transfer to timing mechanism is kept to a minimum but also prevents the timing mechanism from being misplaced or inadvertently dropped as well as not being subjected to excessive heat.

Title: Blood collection tube holder
Inventor: SAGSTETTER WILLIAM E
IPC: A61B5/15
Filed: 1990-10-30
Granted: 1995-08-22
Abstract: An insert (14) for supporting a double ended needle (94, 98) during a blood collection procedure is translatably mounted within a cylinder (12) for retracting the anterior needle (98) into the cylinder (12) on completion of the procedure to prevent nee-dle stick while the posterior needle (94) remains continually shielded against needle stick by the insert (14). An anterior lock posi-tion stabilizes the double ended needle (94, 98) during the blood collection procedure and a posterior lock position retains both ends (94, 98) of the needle shielded. A guard (140) may be associated with the posterior lock position to prevent further transla-tion of the insert (14) and reuse of the holder (10). For a reusable holder embodiment, the used double ended needle (94, 98) is retracted, safely enclosed and locked inside the cylinder (12) The anterior end (30) of the cylinder (12) is adapted for receiving the open end (90) of a conventional needle shield (96) to permit gripping of the needle supporting hub (92) and disengagement of the needle (94, 98) from the insert (14) without exposure to needle stick. A replacement needle may then be mounted in the insert (14) and the holder (10) reused.
Patent CA-2050400-C (CA)
Title: Processing of telecommunications call billing data
Inventor: SHUEN JENNIFER Y
IPC: H04M15/00
Filed: 1991-08-30
Granted: 1995-03-14
Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for preparing a billing record for a special service telecommunications call such as a call over a software defined network or a direct service dialing capability call. These calls are characterized by the fact that in order to properly route and bill such calls, remote shared data bases must be consulted to obtain the necessary information, much ofwhich is recorded in the billing record in order to properly charge the customer and to give that customer information about its calls. Special billing information for these special service calls is accumulated in an enhanced billing register capable of storing the special billing information for these special service calls. After timing for two seconds following the receipt of an answer for the call, all the accumulated billing information is transmitted to a separate processor, one of whose functions is the preparation and formatting of billing records. This processor retains the received billing information for the call until a disconnect is received for the call. After the second processor has received the disconnect indication, it prepares a billing record for the call and transfers this billing record either to secondary storage or transmits this information to a remote billing center. Advantageously, by reducing the number of transfers of data between the call control processor and the second processor, a large amount of real time can be saved for the call control processor, thus, substantially increasing the total call handling capacity of the call control processor in a system which handles a large fraction of special service calls.

Patent CA-2051367-C (CA)
Title: Oil recovery system and method of using same
Inventor: UTTLEY DENNIS
IPC: E21B43/00
Filed: 1991-09-13
Granted: 2001-01-16
Abstract: Very viscose oil and/or oil that may contain water and unconsolidated sands and/or other solids, is received from an oil well or from a plurality of oil wells and mixed into the stream of a fluid circulating system which is in communication with a common production collecting facility located at ground surface. The production collecting facility may be in close proximity to, or a considerable distance from the oil well(s).      The stream of the fluid circulating system acts as a carrier stream to receive, entrain and convey very viscose oil and/or solids contaminated oil production from the oil well(s) to the common fluid collecting facility, at reduced fluid flow friction factors within the conveying conduits, and without the occurrence of preapitated solids blockages within the conveying conduits. Within the production collecting facility, contaminants, oil and carrier fluid are separated and stored for shipping and disposal.    The heated carrier fluid acts to transfer heat to the oil and contaminants, prevents the fluids within the system from freezing, and aids in the preliminary and final separation of oil from the contaminants.

Title: Dce and method for processing data received in a dce allowing multiple operating configurations
Inventor: BLANC ALAIN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1992-02-11
Granted: 1996-07-23
Abstract: The invention relates to data circuit terminating equipment and method for processing data transmitted between data terminating equipment and a telecommunication line. The equipment includes A/D and D/A converters for respectively, converting the data from an analog form to Pulse Coded Modulation (PCM) words and from PCM words to analog form and a control processor for controlling communication protocols. The method is characterized in that it involves the steps of storing signals provided by a transmit circuit into a first queue and storing into a second queue computer characters derived from the signals stored into said first queue according to a first given transmission protocol either a start-stop, a high level data link control (HDLC) or a binary synchronous communication (BSC) transmission protocol. The method further involves the step of storing into a third queue the characters being provided by a control processor to be transmitted to a remote data circuit terminating equipment via the telecommunication line. The selection of an appropriate transmission protocol, as well as the selection of an appropriate modulation algorithm provides a method for processing data to be transmitted from data terminating equipment to a telecommunication line which allows a large number of configurations without requiring the great number of electronic components which were usually necessary.

Granted: 1997-12-09
Abstract: A reusable cooling and insulating device for bottles and the like is provided in the form of a jacket having a single or plurality of flexible compartments which are interconnected having an inner chamber and an outer chamber therein.  A heating and cooling temperature conditionable liquid is housed in the inner chamber which enables the inner diameter of the jacket formed by the inner chamber to confirm with the surface of the object on the which the jacket is positioned for heating or cooling.  A flexible insulator of air or air and flexible plastic is positioned in the outer chamber of each compartment for directing a greater temperature transfer from liquid to the object and less heat exchange from the liquid to the environment.  The liquid is continuously in direct contact with and pressed upon the bottle or object which contact determines the cooling/heating.  The jacket is recharged in a freezer or heated in a microwave depending on the function to be performed. The liquid is never frozen solid in order to conform to the shape of the object to which the device is applied.
