Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable imaging apparatus for imaging an internal area of an object, such as a body cavity, organ or passage of a human or animal. The imaging apparatus comprises an endoscope and a hand holdable image-viewing device releasably connectable to a proximal end of the endoscope. The endoscope comprises an image capture optical pathway and an illumination optical pathway. The image-viewing device comprises an image detector optically couplable to the image capture optical pathway, a display in communication with the detector and a light source optically couplable to the illumination optical pathway. In use, light is transmitted from the light source to the distal end of the endoscope via the illumination optical pathway and illuminates the internal area to be viewed. An optical image of the internal area is transmitted from the distal end of the endoscope to the image-viewing device via the optical image pathway and detected by the detector. A virtually instant visual display of the image is provided on the display of the image-viewing device. A method for using the portable imaging apparatus is also disclosed.

Patent CA-2524045-A1 (CA)
Title: Brake control system
Inventor: RUDD ROBERT EDWARD III
IPC: B60T8/00
Filed: 2004-04-28
Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a method and system for providing brake control, autobrake and antiskid brake functionality by recognizing that the only difference between the three functions is the amount of deceleration they allow. Unlike a conventional system where the pedals represent brake pressure, the present invention interprets pedal commands as desired deceleration. The method and system involve controlling acceleration of a wheel reference speed (140) and setting a desired slip based on autobrake settings (104), pedal positions (102), and various parameters. A  proportional/integral/derivative algorithm controls wheel speed (118) and is monitored for normal operation. Abnormal operation generates control parameters which are used to alter the wheel reference speed (140) and its deceleration (132). Additionally, vehicles using the invention will benefit from improved yaw stability, even brake temperatures and differential braking during antiskid operation.

Title: Method & apparatus for molding a hollow object
Inventor: PUTTER DAVID
IPC: B29D22/00
Filed: 2006-03-09
Abstract: A method and apparatus for open molding a one-piece hollow object involves an inflatable bladder having a predetermined shape when inflated for use as a male mold. Once inflated to a predetermined pressure, fiber reinforced plastic is applied to an outer surface thereof and allowed to cure. Once hardened, the fiber reinforced material defines rigid walls of the hollow object and the bladder is deflated and removed from within the object. The bladder is rotated about a horizontal axis during application and curing to allow access to all parts of the bladder and prevent sagging of the materials applied thereto. During application and curing, a relief valve prevents excessive increase in pressure levels within the bladder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a connection system with coaxial end sections (1, 2) of two fluid lines that are to be connected, which on each end section (1, 2) have an encircling retaining rib (3, 4), with a sleeve (5) that incorporates an axial slot (6), a flexible joint (7) that is disposed opposite the (6) slot, and on its inner side catches (10) to snap behind the retaining ribs (3, 4) in grooves (3a, 4a,), the joint being so elastically flexible that it forces the parts of the sleeve that are adjacent to the slot toward one another. In order to simplify manipulation during the coupling process and permit greater freedom of choice in the selection of materials in a connection system of this type, the end sections (1, 2) can be introduced into the sleeve (5) axially, when the slot (6) has been expanded elastically by the retaining ribs (3, 4) sliding beneath the catches (10) to the point that they snap behind the catches (10), the width of the catches (10) corresponding to the width of the grooves (3a, 4a). In this solution, the connection system can be manipulated as simply as a plug-in type coupling in order to connect the end sections (1, 2) of the fluid lines. In addition, the sleeve (5) can be pre-installed on one of the end sections.
