Patent CA-2389246-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHMIELEWSKI HARRY J
IPC: A61F5/44
Filed: 2000-11-03
Abstract: A disposable absorbent garment (10) comprising a topsheet (30), abacksheet (32), and an absorbent core (342) disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent core is formed from a folded laminate comprising three layers, including an upper layer (342b), a lower layer (342c) and a central fibrous layer (342a) including from about 50 to about 95 percent by weight superabsorbent polymer and about 5 to about 50 percent by weight stabilizing additives. The upper and lower layers comprise tissue, airlaid fluff pulp or synthetic non-woven fibrous layers. The central fibrous layer is adhesively bonded to both the upper and lower layers, all layers together assisting to maintain the dry and wet integrity of the absorbent core. Folding of the thin absorbent laminate provides an absorbent core that can handle large doses of urine. The folded structure provides a central channel (360) that provides free volume (371) for temporary liquid storage, isolation and containment of bowel movements, and increases the surface area of laminate available for liquid absorption.

Abstract: An improved nozzle system for a flow cytometer and accompanying methods have been invented for a high efficiency orientation and sorting process of a flat sample and dedicates items such as equine or bovine sperm cells. This improved nozzle system comprises a nozzle (16) with a novel interior surface geometry that can both gently accelerate the cells and can include an elliptical-like, single torsional interior surface element within (c) the nozzle, i.e., a single torsional orientation nozzle (6). The elliptical-like, single torsional interior surface element (e.g.) (8, 9, 10) may have a laminar flow surface and may produce the simplest flow path for applying minimal forces which act in either an accelerative nature or orienting hydrodynamic forces, namely, the single torsional orientation forces, to orient a flat sample (16) such as animal sperm cells into a proper direction for an analyzing and efficiently sorting process in clinical use, for research and for the animal insemination industry.

Patent CA-2401482-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PAQUET FRANCOIS J
IPC: H03M1/08
Filed: 2002-09-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to a highly accurate D/A converter. The converter comprises four main building blocks - in logical order of their operation - a DC processing circuit, an analog switching device, a bootstrap circuit, and a third order low-pass filter. The boots trap circuit is interposed between the switching device and the low-pass filter for substantially reducing loading created by the low-pass filter circuit and acting on the switching device. Furthermore, a new modulation scheme is used to eliminate cross-over discontinuity in the continuous analog signal by interposing between each two successive pulses a cross-over correction pulse having opposite polarity and a predetermined fixed pulse- width. The relatively simple circuit is capable of being implemented with parts that are readily available, and more particularly parts that are readily available in radiation hardened versions for space applications such as control of gyroscopes and accelerometers in satellites.

Title: Yoke structure that is adapted to be secured to a tube using magnetic pulse welding techniques
Inventor: YABLOCHNIKOV BORIS A
IPC: B23P19/04
Filed: 2003-03-06
Abstract: A magnetic pulse welding operation is performed to secure first and second metallic components together, such as a yoke and a driveshaft tube in a vehicular driveshaft assembly. The yoke includes a first portion, such as a body portion, and a second portion, such as a pair of opposed yoke arms, that are separated by a bridge portion. The end of the driveshaft tube is disposed co-axially about the body portion of the yoke, and a magnetic pulse welding operation is performed to secure the end of the driveshaft tube to the body portion of the yoke. The bridge portion can be defined by a groove formed in either the outer surface or the inner surface of the yoke. The groove may have side portions that extend either generally perpendicular or are angled or tapered relative to an axis of rotation of the yoke. If desired, a pair of opposed, semi-circular grooves may be formed in the yoke to define the bridge portion.  The bridge portion allows the yoke arms to be elastically deformed and can also limit the propagation of shock waves through the yoke that can result from the performance of the magnetic pulse welding operation.
