IPC: F02N15/06
Filed: 1996-05-24
Abstract: In a coaxial engine starter comprising a pinion connected to the output shaft which is driven by an electric motor, via a helical spline, a switch unit for selectively closing a power supply line to the electric motor, and a solenoid device consisting of an annular armature and an annular energization coil surrounding the output shaft to axially drive the pinion and a moveable contact of the switch unit in the axial direction, the energization coil is disposed between the electric motor and the pinion with a commutator of the electric motor facing theenergization coil, and a pigtail for one of the brushes is directly connected to the moveable contact. Also, the contacts of the switch unit are placed between a pair of adjacent brushes of commutator. In particular, by separating the part of the armature for driving the moveable contact from the part of the armature for driving the pinion, the stroke of the moveable contact can be minimized and the stress acing upon the connecting part of the pigtail upon movement of the contact can be minimized.

Patent CA-2188929-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HALPERIN LOUIS E
IPC: A61N1/08
Filed: 1996-01-17
Abstract: A capacitive pressure and temperature sensing system for providing signals representative of the magnitude of body fluid absolute pressure at a selected site and ambient operating conditions, including body temperature, at the site. An implantable lead having a sensor module formed in its distal end is coupled to a monitor that powers a sensor circuit in the sensor module and demodulates and stores absolute pressure and temperature data derived from signals generated by the sensor circuit. The sensor module is formed with a pickoff capacitor that changes capacitance with pressure changes and a reference capacitor that is relatively insensitive to pressure changes. The sensor circuit provides charge current that changes with temperature variation at the implant site, alternately charges and discharges the two capacitors, and provides timing pulses having distinguishable parameters at the end of each charge cycle that are transmitted to the demodulator. The demodulator detects and synchronizes the timing pulses and derives pressure and temperature analog voltage values representative of the intervals between the timing pulses which are digitized and stored in the monitor. The monitor may also be coupled with other sensors for measuring and storing related patient body parameters, e.g. blood gas, EGM, and patient activity.

IPC: H03D3/00
Filed: 1997-02-05
Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, an FM demodulator includes an I and Q sampler for generating data samples of I and Q signals of an FM signal. A signalprocessor derives samples of a modulating waveform of the FM signal from the I and Q data samples, using a Lagrangian interpolation function of the I and Q data samples. Variables include derivatives of the I and Q signals obtained by differentiation of the Lagrangian function. Preferably, the processor further utilizes a correction factor to correct the modulating waveform samples obtained from theLagrangian-based interpolation, to thereby derive a modulating waveform exhibiting low signal distortion.

Patent CA-2212278-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BROWN GRAEME NICHOLAS
IPC: H04L12/701
Filed: 1996-08-06
Abstract: A method of determining a restoration route (or an additional route) in a fully or partially meshed communications network of nodes, in which the step of sending a route-finder signature from a node to a neighbouring node on one of a plurality of spare links of a span to the neighbouring node comprises the prior substeps of: determining whether the node has a higher or a lower ranking network node identity than that of the neighbouring node; and if it is higher ranking, sending the route-finder signature on the spare link corresponding to the lowest ranking of the node ports associated with said span; or if it is lower ranking, sending the route-finder signature on the spare link corresponding to the highest ranking of the node ports associated with said span. Any contention which occurs because the two nodes connected to a span make provisional allocation for one or more links simultaneously to different restoration routes is dealt with by a contention protocol in which the higher ranking of the two nodes knows that its provisional allocation will be confirmed, and the lower ranking of the two nodes knows that it must send a backtrack signature for the capacity that is not available.
