Abstract: A shock absorber removal system for safely and easily removing a shock absorber from a vehicle, without requiring the utilization of a torch, is provided. The device includes an unitary tool having a head member with a deep impact socket, and a handle member. The end of the handle member is angled with respect to the rest of the handle member. The longitudinal axis of both portions of the handle member, and the deep impact socket, are all co-planer; the tool is used by being moved up and down in the plane of the longitudinal axis and the socket axis, when the tool is placed over the upper stem and retaining that of a shock absorber.

Abstract: An article inventory control system for articles (22), such as books, uses RFID tags attached to each article (22). Each tag has a unique identification or serial number for identifying the individual article (22). An inventory database tracks all of the tagged articles (22) and maintains circulation status information for each article (22). Articles are checked out of the library (10) using a patron self-checkout system. Checked out articles (22) are returned to the library by being deposited into an exterior smart book drop (32) which reads the RFID  tag and automatically checks the article back in. Article data from the exterior smart book drop are used to generate reshelving reports for efficiently reshelving the articles. Articles which are used in the library (10), but not checked out, are returned to interior smart book drops (34) within the library (10) for reshelving. The interior smart book drops (34) capture data regarding in-house use of articles. The data are used to generate historical usage reports. The uncirculated articles (22) are stored on shelves of the library (10). The shelves are periodically scanned with an RFID scanner for updating inventory status.

Patent CA-2300853-C (CA)
Inventor: PATEL PRASHANT
IPC: E21B17/02
Filed: 2000-03-17
Granted: 2005-06-21
Abstract: A structure and technique is disclosed to allow passing control lines, conduits or cables of all sorts through a downhole tool. The assembly provides for passage of the conduit or cable through and into the bore of the downhole tool, protected by an internal carrier. The end connections are assembled without any twisting force applied to the cable or conduit. The end connections resist torque. A jam nut on either end provides one seal, and internal seals are used against the mandrel of the downhole tool to further provide pressure isolation where the cable or conduit enters the tool body or exits. Tensile loads are passed through the tool body rather than the cable or conduit. There is complete pressure isolation between the conduit and both the tubing and the annulus.

Title: Splitterless multicarrier modem
Inventor: GROSS RICHARD W
IPC: H04M11/06
Filed: 1998-10-09
Granted: 2010-07-27
Abstract: A modem for use in Digital Subscriber Line communications transmits and receives data over the local subscriber loop in common with voice information over the loop, while avoiding the need for voice/data splitters. The modem responds to disruptions associated with "disturbance events" such as on-hook to off-hook transitions and the like by rapidly switching between pre-stored channel parameter control sets defining communications over the loop under varying conditions. In addition to changing parameter control sets responsive to a disturbance event, the modem may also change transmission power levels and other system parameters such as frequency domain equalizer characteristics. Further, provisions are made for reduced bandwidth communications under selected conditions.

Abstract: The present invention provides, in one embodiment, a rotational atherectomy device which includes an exchangeable drive shaft cartridge (80) having a rotatable drive shaft socket (180) carried by a driv e shaft carriage (150) and attached to a proximal portion of a drive shaft (60), A rotatable, radially expandable prime mover coupling (330 ) carried by a prime mover carriage (200) is also provided and is connected to a prime mover for rotation therewith. The drive shaft socket is sized to receive a length of the prime mover coupling therein such that the prime mover coupling does not effectively engage an interior surface of the drive shaft socket when the coupling is not rotating, but the prime mover coupling radially expands to effectively engage the socket upon sufficiently rapid rotation of the prime mover, causing the socket and the drive shaft to rotate together with the prime mover coupling and the prime mover. As a result when the prime mover is not rotating, the drive shaft is disconnected from the prime mover, thereby permitting the exchangeable drive shaft cartridge to be replaced by another exchangeable drive shaft cartridge.
