Title: Method and apparatus for monitoring a restraint device
Inventor: COOPER CRAIG L
IPC: A61F5/37
Filed: 2004-10-18
Abstract: The instant invention is designed to detect when undue tension is placed on a belt or strap that is connected to a restraining vest, such undue pressure being indicative that a patient may be in trouble. It is preferable that, whatever sensor is used, it should be elastically resilient to return to its unstressed state after tension on the strap is removed. Additionally, it is preferable that the amount of force that is required in order to trigger an alarm be adjustable to accommodate patients of different weights. Finally, it is also preferable that the level of stress on the strap - and the duration over which it is applied -that is necessary to trigger an alarm be such that the patient cannot easily intentionally cause the device to sound an alarm.

Patent CA-2496697-A1 (CA)
Title: Differential power transmission for expander driven compressor machines
Inventor: NIEDERREITER JOHN F
IPC: F02C7/36
Filed: 2005-02-08
Abstract: In heat machines, mechanical power either exits by an exterior sink, as is the case with a heat engine, or enters by an exterior source, as is the case with a heat pump. This invention proposes the mechanical transmission of power from expansion device(s) and power source(s), to compression device(s) and power sink(s), by way of a differential power transmission. In its simplest and most exploitable form, the differential power transmission consists of a single stage planetary gear system having three points through which power may be transferred. These points are the sun gear, the planet gear carrier and the ring gear. Such a system allows for differential rotational speeds and torque between these elements, which in turn renders the system inherently stable, and widens its operational range.
