Patent CA-2287948-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALEXANDER LEE D
IPC: B65D1/42
Filed: 1999-10-29
Abstract: A plastic container comprises a bottom wall, a side wall extending upwardly and laterally outwardly from the bottom wall, and an undulating rim extending laterally outwardly from an upper portion of the side wall. The undulating rim forms a plurality of waves extending at least partially around the upper portion of the side wall. Each wave forms a crest and a trough that are generally perpendicular to an adjacent section of the upper portion of the side wall. In response to exerting a tensile load on the rim, the undulating rim acts like an accordion or spring and effectively increases the perimeter along an outer trimmed edge of the rim. In particular, the waves allow the rim to flatten, thereby reducing the hoop stress generated by the tensile load. By relieving the hoop stress on the outer trimmed edge of the rim, the tendency of the rim to crack or break is minimized.

Inventor: WOOD RAYMOND
IPC: G08B21/16
Filed: 2000-05-19
Abstract: A safety system for a building has an excess gas flow detector circuit for detecting gas flow in a gas supply pipe. The safety system can also include an earthquake detector for detecting ground accelerations exceeding a threshold acceleration/frequency curve dividing safe and hazardous ground accelerations throughout a predetermined frequency range. The earthquake detector includes an accelerometer for measuring linear acceleration along an axis, and for generating an acceleration signal indicative of a magnitude of the measured acceleration. A filter circuit produces a filtered acceleration signal from the acceleration signal. The gain/frequency characteristic of the filter circuit is a reflection of the threshold acceleration/frequency curve, such that ground accelerations falling on the threshold acceleration/frequency curve yield a filtered acceleration signal having a substantially constant value throughout the frequency range. Finally, a threshold circuit compares the filtered acceleration signal to a predetermined threshold voltage, and produces an earthquake detected signal indicative of the comparison result. The safety system can also include a gas detector circuit capable of detecting a gas in air, and generating a gas detected signal in response to detection of the gas. A smoke detector circuit can also be provided for generating a smoke detected signal. A main unit including a microprocessor is responsive to the excess gas flow detected signal, the earthquake detected signal, the gas detected signal and the smoke detected signal. A valve controller closes a gas valve to shut off a supply of gas in response to the first control signal.

In the cap, six gores, integrated into a crown, are made of a stretchable woven fabric, with a weft directional elongation of the gores being higher than a warp directional elongation of the gores. A sweat band is attached along a lower edge of the integrated gores. The sweat band is made of a stretchable woven fabric, with a weft directional elongation of the sweat band being higher than the weft directional elongation of the gores. The warp directional elongation of the gores is 25% ~ 2%, and the weft directional elongation of the gores is 50% ~ 5%. The weft directional elongation of the sweat band is 65% ~ 5%. The free-size cap is thus primarily and manually adjusted in size by its size adjusting band and is finely and automatically adjusted in size by the elasticity of the stretchable woven fabric of both the crown and the sweat band.      The cap thus allows a user to feel comfortable while wearing the cap. The cap is made of stretchable woven fabric designed to have a high elasticity in both wefts and warps, thus being prevented from easily wrinkling in a vertical or horizontal direction while having a desired automorphism.

Title: System and method for the early detection of cellular telephone piracy
Inventor: BALACHANDRAN SHRIDHARAN
IPC: H04W12/06
Filed: 1998-12-21
Abstract: A method and system for early piracy detection in a cellular telecommunications network is disclosed. When in idle mode, a network subscriber Mobile Station (MS) transmits a Current Location Identifier message (CLID) on a pseudo-random basis. The CLID, which contains MS identifying information, is picked up by the network and relayed to the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) covering the area in which the MS is currently located. When it receives the CLID, the MSC generates an MS-CLID message containing the CLID  and the identifier of the nodes through which it has passed, including that of the MSC itself. The MS-CLID message is then sent to the system Home Location Register (HLR), which compares the MS identification and location information to that stored in its database. The system generates a piracy alarm when the comparison determines that another caller using the same identity is currently active or that a call being initiated is originating from a location distant to the last reported location of the legitimate MS, allowing the system operator to take action prior to the loss of inordinate amounts of air time.
