Title: Automated dispenser with sensor arrangement
Inventor: NG HONG
IPC: A47K10/34
Filed: 2005-07-13
Abstract: An automatic electrically powered dispenser for dispensing a product stored in the dispenser , which includes an active IR sensor system for detecting a user.. The IR sensor system including at least one IR emitter and at least one IR receiver. The IR sensing system is arranged to scan for the presence of a possible user at a certain scanning rate. The sensor control system supplies the active IR emitter(s) with a first current which is constant during one or more single scans and is altered to a different, second current for further scanning. The first and second currents are determined on the basis of a signal strength of the average received IR which is received by the IR  receiver(s) during a number of previous single scans. In a simplified system, the average value of the most recently received IR values may be compared to a standard value set in the control system to alter the current supplied to the IR emitter(s).

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de compensation ou de correction d'erreur d'éphémérides de satellites consistant à mesurer la différence entre les temps d'arrivée (TDOA) et la différence entre les fréquences d'arrivée (FDOA) pour des répliques de signaux reçues d'émetteurs de calibrage (42a à 42d) par l'intermédiaire de deux satellites (34, 36) à différentes positions géographiques. Une éphéméride de satellite initiale composée de vecteurs de position et de vélocité sert à calculer des modifications d'éphémérides produisant des valeurs de différence entre les temps d'arrivée et de différence entre les fréquences d'arrivée offrant un ajustement optimal à des valeurs de différence entre les temps d'arrivée et de différence entre les fréquences d'arrivée mesurées. Cette invention permet de fournir les modifications estimées requises pour compenser ou corriger des erreurs des éphémérides de satellites initiales. Le procédé de cette invention peut être itéré pour gérer d'importantes modifications d'éphémérides. En d'autres termes, les modifications obtenues dans une itération peuvent être utilisées pour corriger l'éphéméride à utiliser comme nouvelle éphéméride initiale dans une itération suivante. Ce procédé peut être utilisé pour corriger des erreurs d'éphémérides dans l'un ou les deux satellites. Le cas échéant, un plus grand nombre d'émetteurs de calibrage EphemCal 1 à EphemCal 10 peut être utilisé.
Patent CA-2646298-A1 (CA)
Title: Stringed musical instrument using spring tension
Inventor: LYLES COSMOS
IPC: G10D3/12
Filed: 2007-03-15
Abstract: A stringed musical instrument employs springs to apply tension to corresponding musical strings. Each spring is chosen and configured for its ability to impart a string tension generally matched to the appropriate tension of the string at perfect tune. Preferably, the spring is selected and arranged so that the tension in the string maintains at or near perfect tune even as the string elongates or contracts over time. In one embodiment, once a string is placed in appropriate tune, a mechanical visual indicator is set. As such, if tune of the string changes due to string elongation or contraction, the change is reflected by misalignment of the mechanical visual indicator even if the change cannot be aurally detected. Perfect tune can be reestablished by realigning the indicator. In another embodiment, a force modulating member is interposed between a spring and its corresponding musical string. The force modulating member is adapted so that the tension actually applied to the string by the spring is not linearly related to the force exerted by the spring as the spring changes in length.

Title: Endoscope and optical fiber assembly
Inventor: NAHEN KESTER
IPC: A61N1/30
Filed: 2007-05-18
Abstract: An endoscope for an optical fiber provides for inflow and outflow of irrigant. A telescope is included having a field of view directed into a working region. The endoscope defines a "hooded region" with an extended, blunt tip. The optical fiber fits within the endoscope has a side or end firing tip with an emission surface. A guide element is adapted to movably support the optical fiber in a position spaced away from the working region, and limit lateral movement of the tip without preventing longitudinal and rotational movement. An irrigant flow arrangement operates to direct inflowing irrigant over the emission surface of the tip. The fiber is assembled with a fiber coupler, a handle, a fiber port cap, and a travel limiter fixed to the fiber at a predetermined distance from the tip. The travel limiter cooperates with the endoscope and the fiber port cap to limit longitudinal and rotational movement of the fiber.
