Patent CA-2353666-A1 (CA)
Title: Method of manufacturing a frangible nonsintered powder-based projectile
Inventor: BEAL HAROLD F
IPC: F42B12/74
Filed: 1999-11-24
Abstract: A method for the manufacture of heavy metal powder-based frangible projectiles which are relatively easy and inexpensive to manufacture and which exhibit a selectable variety of desirable physical and/or performance properties. The projectiles of the present invention are powder-based, preferably including predominantly tungsten powder as a heavy metal, particularly a tungsten powder which includes a predominate portion of finely sized particles. Lighter metal powders, also preferably having a predominate portion of finely sized particles, may be employed in combination with the tungsten to achieve certain desired results. Importantly, the present inventor has found that inclusion of a non-metal matrix powder, also of finely sized particles, in a mixture of a heavy metal powder, such as tungsten powder, and a light metal powder, may be employed in a variety of combinations to produce a projectile which is fully frangible upon striking a target (no ricochet), or which is frangible after either partial or full penetration of a selected target, either a semi-solid (e.g., a gel block) or a solid (e.g., a 1/4 inch thick cold rolled steel plate at an angle of about 90 degrees).

Title: Wing comprising a distal wing grid
Inventor: LA ROCHE ULRICH
IPC: B64C23/06
Filed: 2001-09-25
Abstract: In a wing with a main wing part (1) and a drag-reducing wing grid arranged at the distal end of the main wing part, the grid comprises at least two winglets (2) staggered in parallel and with an overlap (c/t) smaller than one, the zero air flow direction of the winglets (2) is on average matched to the zero air flow direction of the main wing part (1) and the ratio of the length of the chord (c M) of the main wing part (1) to the chord length (c W) of the wing grid is essentially the same as the correction factor Kappa according to Betz applicable for the overlap of the winglets. For this wing, the lift of the main wing part (1) and the wing grid is not only equal in the design point, but also the lift gradients of the main wing part (1) and of the wing grid are coincident. This means that the drag-reducing effect of the wing grid is maintained independent of the momentary angle of attack of the wing, without the wing grid having to be adjusted accordingly.

Title: Tamper-evident closure having improved drainage
Inventor: WAN MIN MILES
IPC: B65D41/34
Filed: 1999-12-22
Abstract: A closure (2) having a tamper-evident band (4) secured to a container neck by a retaining band. The tamper-evident band (4) is attached to the retaining band (10) by a hinge (12) so that the retaining band (10) rotates upward about the hinge when the closure is applied to the neck of a container, causing the inner wall (26) of the retaining band and the inner wall (15) of the tamper-evident band to form a cavity therebetween. A number of rectangular openings (28) are spaced around the circumference of the retaining band. The upper edge of each opening extends beyond the hinge and into the tamper-evident band. A recess (24) in the inner wall of the tamper-evident band is located above each opening so that the lower edge of the recess intersects with the rear wall of the opening. The openings and recesses cooperate to ensure that any liquid that spills or splashes from the container neck into the cavity during capping will drain out.

Title: Communications accessory with improved vehicle ignition sense
Inventor: LILJA PATRICK
IPC: B60R16/02
Filed: 2000-01-18
Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing power consumption of a communications accessory (80) attached to a vehicle based on the state of vehicle's (10) ignition (14) and upon the power on/off history of the wireless communicatio ns device attached to the communications accessory. The method determines wheth er the last powering off of the wireless communications device was due to user action. If so, then the wireless communications device is left in a powered off state when the ignition is turned back on. If, instead, the last powerin g off of the wireless communications device was in response to an automaticall y generated request from the communications accessory (prompted by the ignitio n being turned off), the wireless communications device is powered back on whe n the ignition is turned back on. An ignition sense circuit (40) determines th e power state of the vehicle's ignition and tracks the recent power on/off history of the wireless communications device. Based on information from the  ignition sense circuit, power control logic (42) automatically turns the wireless communications device back on according to the method when the vehicle's ignition is turned back on. In addition, the correctness of the ignition sense line (74) installation may be checked via a combination of a status flag and asuitable timer. If the timer expires, the status flag is se t to indicate an improper installation of the ignition sense line.

In accordance with other embodiments, the catheter includes a tube having a plurality of exit holes in a side wall of the tube. The exit holes may combine to form a flow-restricting orifice of the catheter. Advantageously, fluid within the catheter flows through all of the exit holes, resulting in uniform distribution of fluid within an anatomical region. In one particular embodiment, the catheter comprises a tube having elongated exit slots therein. In accordance with other embodiments, the catheter includes an elongated tubular member made of a porous membrane. The porous membrane is configured so that a fluid introduced into an open end of the tubular member will flow through side walls of the tubular member at a substantially uniform rate along a length of the tubular member. In accordance with other embodiments, the catheter includes an elongated "weeping" tubular coil spring attached to an end of, or enclosed within, a tube. Fluid within the spring and greater than or equal to a threshold pressure advantageously flows radially outward between the spring coils. Advantageously, the fluid is dispensed substantially uniformly throughout a length of the spring.
