Patent CA-2183886-A1 (CA)
Title: Biometric, personal authentication system
Inventor: OSTEN DAVID W
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 1995-03-15
Abstract: A personal, biometric authentication system is disclosed. The system can be used for controlling access to equipment or physical facilities. The system employs the combination of a unique, inherently specific biometric parameter recognized and compared with stored data and at least one non-specific biometric parameter of a physiological characteristic recognized and compared with physiological norms. Positive comparison results in authentication of an individual that is not incapacitated, dismembered, or deceased.
Patent CA-2184911-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALM KJELL K
IPC: B05B5/00
Filed: 1995-03-06
Abstract: Procédé et dispositif d'application de fibres sur une base. La solution proposée par cette invention consiste à charger et transférer des fibres sur une surface sur laquelle ces fibres doivent être appliquées, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de recourir à des appareils électriques pour générer une tension élevée. Le résultat est obtenu en chargeant les fibres par friction. On exploite pour cela les différences d'électro-négativité entre les deux matériaux. L'appareil d'application comporte un tube de charge (8) dans lequel les fibres sont entraînées. L'intérieur du tube de charge (8) est constitué par un matériau diélectrique (9), par exemple du PTFE. Ce matériau est fortement électro-négatif et arrache donc les électrons des matériaux présentant une électro-négativité plus faible.

Patent CA-2186690-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAERLE ANDREW G
IPC: G01N21/47
Filed: 1996-09-27
Abstract: A method for estimating the inclusion content of a metal, the method involving three steps.  The first step is to section the metal to create an exposed inner surface of the metal.  The second step is to measure the reflectance of the exposed inner surface of the metal. The third step is to estimate the inclusion content of the metal from the reflectance.  When a physical property of the metal, such as tensile strength, elongation or impact strength, is related to the inclusion content of the metal, then the physical property can be estimated from the reflectance of the exposed inner surface of the metal.

Title: Waterborne lubricant for teflon products
Inventor: HOPKINS DAVID P
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 1996-11-14
Abstract: This invention relates to a new water soluble lubricant for a medical device, such as a catheter and an introducer needle. The lubricant is a silicone surfactant which is non-ionic and which is a good lubricating fluid. Preferably the silicone surfactant that is used is a block copolymer polyalkylene oxide-modified polydimethylsiloxane. Water is used as the solvent for this lubricant. The lubrication solution includes a solution stabilizer to clarify the solution and antimicrobial agents to inhibit microbial growth in the water solution or on the coated product. Vitamin E or its derivatives may also be used in the lubrication solution. When the lubrication solution is used on Teflon products, a small amount of alcohol is added to the lubrication solution to increase wettability.

Patent CA-2202197-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for determining a profile of an image displaced a distance from a platen
Inventor: WALSH JOHN F
IPC: H04N1/113
Filed: 1997-04-09
Abstract: A profile detector in a scanning system measures spacing of an original non-planar image from a reference image plane of the scanning system. The spacing is measured by projecting a spot of light, with a collimated light source, onto a scan line of the original non-planar image at an angle that is oblique with respect to the fast scan direction of the scanning system. A first photosensor converts optical information reflecting off of the original non-planar image at a first slow scan position into electrical profile data. A position along the fast scan direction is identified for the first slow scan position by locating the spot of light in the electrical profile data. The located position is compared with a pre-recorded position along the fast scan direction for the first slow scan position. The pre-recorded position defines a position where the first photosensor would have detected the spot of light if it reflected off of a planar image. The difference between the located position and the pre-recorded position is used to determine the value for the spacing between the original non-planar image and the reference image plane at the first slow scan position. In a one pass scanning system, a second photosensor records image data at a second slow scan position that is offset from the first slow scan position. The offset provides sufficient time for the scanning system to calculate the spacing of the original non-planar image from the reference image plane before the second photosensor records image data at the first slow scan position. In a two-pass scanning system, the first photosensor records the image data during the second pass. The scanning system compensates for image distortion caused by the calculated spacing by either adjusting system scan parameters or by performing image processing techniques.

Patent CA-2213761-A1 (CA)
Title: Side bearings for truck bolsters
Inventor: PITCHFORD TERRY L
IPC: B61F5/14
Filed: 1997-09-05
Abstract: A constant contact spring bearing for use with a railway car truck bolster is disclosed. Greater design flexibility and installation tolerances are available because a longer travel spring, with potentially lower spring load rate and stress rate, may be used. The present invention facilitates the establishment of loadings that may be expected to fall reliably within set-up tolerances from unit to unit. Instead of mounting the spring bearing on the surface of the truck bolster top member, the present invention provides a recess in the truck bolster to receive the spring, allowing for use of longer springs. With longer travel springs available for use, a spring may be selected with a lower load rate and a lower stress rate.

Title: Lighting system for mass-transit vehicles
Inventor: DEALEY ONWARD K JR
IPC: B60Q3/00
Filed: 1996-05-28
Abstract: A lighting system for preferentially illuminating the seating area (38) of a mass-transit vehicle (22) includes a light fixture (42) with an elongated lamp housing (52) longitudinally disposed above the seating area (38). Electrically-energized light sources (74) are mounted at each end of the light fixture (42). Three solid-core semi-rigid light pipes (76, 78, 80) extend end-to-end between the light sources (74) and are optically coupled to each other and to the light sources (74). The outer two pipes (76, 80) receive light from the light sources (74) and transmit it along their lengths and into the center pipe (78). All three pipes (76, 78, 80) emit light laterally into the passenger compartment (24). The pipes (76, 78, 80) run parallel to the lamp housing (52) between the lamp housing (52) and the seating area (38) so the lamp housing (52) can direct laterally emitted light from the pipes (76, 78, 80) into the seating area (38). Couplings (100) with rubber seals (108) allow the pipes to expand and contract longitudinally while preventing dust and insects from entering the couplings and inhibiting light transmission.
