Patent CA-2669387-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LUCAS TORRALBA JULIO
IPC: H02K16/00
Filed: 2007-11-12
Abstract: The invention consists on a linear switched reluctance electrical machine that may be operated indistinctly as a generator or a motor, with a series of characteristics that allow the optimization of the mass to power ratio, as well as the manufacturing cost. The machine has several air gaps, crossed by a single magnetic flux, in which the magnetic force is obtained. This flux is fed by a set of coils (6) placed in the active parts, these active parts are two yokes (4) and (5) in which the magnetic flux closes, there might be other active parts in the mentioned magnetic circuit through which the magnetic flux does not close. A set of passive elements, normally the translators (1) and (2), produce, while moving relatively to the active part, a variation of the reluctance of the circuit with respect to the position which causes a magnetic force. The most unique characteristic of the present invention is that the magnetic flux only returns through the two butt active parts (4-5), allowing the desired reduction in mass, weight and cost.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an analyte test strip includes positioning a patterned spacer layer between a first insulating layer and a second insulating layer such that the second insulating is disposed above the first insulating layer and a channel is defined between the first and second insulating layers. Moreover, the channel thus defined has a sample-receiving chamber therein, a first port, and a second port. The method also includes coupling a third insulating layer to the first insulating layer such that the third insulating layer is disposed at least partially below the first insulating layer. In the coupling step, the third insulating layer includes a platform portion that extends beyond the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer and the platform portion has an upper surface. In this manufacturing method, the first and second ports are in fluidic communication with the sample-receiving chamber; the upper surface of the platform portion is configured to receive a first (relatively large) bodily fluid sample of at least 5 micro-liters and for filling the sample-receiving chamber with a portion of the first bodily fluid sample, and the second port is configured to receive a second (relatively small) bodily fluid sample of lesser volume than the first bodily fluid sample and for filling the sample-receiving chamber with a portion of the small bodily fluid sample.

Abstract: Modified MZ (Mach-Zender) interferometers are utilized to analyze the tra nsmitted, aspherical wavefront of an ophthalmic lens by mounting the lens in a cuvette having a rotatable carousel that can hold multiple lenses. Fresh, temperature controlled, saline solution is circulated about the lenses, and the cuvette is positioned in a vertical test arm of the interferometer conf iguration. Reverse raytracing is utilized to remove aberrations induced into the wavefront as it is imaged from immediately behind the lens to the detec tor of the interferometer.

Abstract: [Para 18] It is difficult to convince a pet to focus on a camera when taking posed photographs of the pet, therefore resulting in pictures with the pet not looking towards the lens or with the pet in motion. The pet contemplated may be a dog or cat or any other pet whose attention would be gained with a suitable item of interest.  The Pet Poser is primarily intended to attract the attention of a pet, but may also be used with other subjects such as but not limited to small children. My invention which may be called the "Pet Poser" is a clip device, which screws into the tripod hole in the bottom of a camera that holds an item of interest to a pet or photo subject, such as a treat or toy, causing the pet or subject to be focused on the camera resulting in pictures with the pet or subject looking into the direction of the lens and allowing the photographer to keep both hands on the camera.
