Patent CA-2195721-A1 (CA)
Title: Vehicle frame
Inventor: ETO TOYOCHIKA
IPC: B62M27/00
Filed: 1997-01-22
Abstract: A snowmobile having a lightweight fabricated frame assembly. The frame assembly includes a number of reinforcing elements, some of which comprise heat exchangers for the liquid cooling system of the engine, so as to provide high rigidity and light weight. The engine of the snowmobile is provided with an exhaust system that permits a relatively short effective length, but minimizes pulse-back effects by forming internal expansion chambers around the exhaust branch pipes. The drive for the snowmobile includes a reversing transmission and a brake assembly associated therewith in addition to a main brake assembly for the snowmobile. Furthermore, there is provided a parking brake assembly that is easy to operate and which will provide the operator with a visual and physical warning of its condition so that the operator will not attempt to operate the snowmobile with the parking brake engaged.

Filed: 1997-01-31
Abstract: A bath tub entry seat for use in combination with a bath tub having side walls comprises a seat and a framework installable to extend transversely over the bath tub.  The seat is mounted to a seat support that is movable on the framework.  There is also a locking system for locking the seat support in a pre-determined position on the framework. The locking system comprises a lever movable between a lockable position with the  framework and a disengaged position.   The locking system is designed such that the lever automatically moves to the lockable position whenever a user  is  seated on the  seat  so  that  the  seat  will automatically lock into place on the frame when the seat support reaches the pre-determined position.  Accordingly, the user does not need to concern themselves with operation of the lever and can concentrate on steadying themselves on the seat.

Title: Data transmitter-receiver
Inventor: TANAKA MASAHIKO
IPC: H04M19/08
Filed: 1997-03-12
Abstract: A data transmitter-receiver for reducing high-frequency noise which leads to a cause of performance deterioration of a radio instrument, and for eliminating dissipation current. The data transmitter-receiver transmits transmitting data to a modulator-demodulator connected to a radio instrument, and receives receiving data from the modulator-demodulator. A terminal controlling section 3 of the data transmitter-receiver performs data processing on the receiving data, thus outputting to a data-terminal, and performs data processing transmitting signal from the data-terminal, thus generating the receiving data. The terminal controlling section causes the low-speed clock LC to generate on the clock generating section during tranmission-reception-period both of the receiving data and the transmitting data, and causes the high-speed clock HC to generate on the clock generating section during non-transmission-reception-period both of the receiving data and the transmitting data, both the high-speed clock and the low-speed clock are operating-clock.          Furthermore, the operating ratio detector causes the low-speed clock to generate when the operating ratio of the terminal controlling section is low.

Patent CA-2201436-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WILLIAMS STEPHEN D
IPC: D04H3/007
Filed: 1997-04-01
Abstract: A propylene homopolymer having a stick-point of 30 cm or less during melt spinning, an oligomer content of less than 1500 ppm without postpolymerization treatment to remove oligomers, and a melt flow rate greater than 300 dg/min is prepared by radiation visbreaking in a multistage fluidized bed reactor. The polymer is subjected to irradiation in the substantial absence of oxygen, followed by a multistage treatment in the presence of a controlled amount of oxygen. The radiation visbreaking process can also be applied to other propylene polymer materials. The propylene polymer materials produced by this radiation visbreaking process can be used, for example, for extrusion coating, film production, and injection molding.

Title: The wristthotic
Inventor: CORBETT DONALD L
IPC: G06F3/039
Filed: 1997-07-22
Abstract: The Wristthotic (also referred to as the invention) is a device designed to relieve the repetitive strain injury (RSI) on the human wrist caused by the utilization of computer keyboards, mice, lap top computers, calculators and other devices that may from time to time cause the wrist to bend, stretch, receive pressure and experience repetitive motion. The invention enables the wrist to maintain a more neutral position to avoid such pronation, wrist extension and ulnar nerve deviation that may cause nerve irritation, tendon and muscle strain that often leads to RSI, the most common known as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). The carpal tunnel is a small space in the wrist containing tendons, nerves and blood vessels which can become tingly and sore when stressed by repetitive finger use and extended (bent) wrist posture. The invention raises the wrist while the wrist is at rest upon the invention's gas filled bladder on a flat surface to a height of one half to two and one half inches (1.5 to 7 centimeters). The wrist is both supported and cushioned by the inflated bladder that can control, via differing air pressures in the bladder, the amount of cushioning and height of the wrist. The bladder can be constructed of vinyl material or other similar films. The inner surface of the bladder and strap in contact with the skin is covered by a cloth velvet like flocked material that prevents allergic reactions and reduces perspiration. The invention is secured snugly to the wrist by a tapered strap that is fastened by industry standard trademarked VELCRO or other such fastening devices such as domes or buckles. The utilization of contained air/gas pressure makes the invention very light yet cushioning, thus enabling the user to easily continue to use the various computer devices named above with the minimum of encumbrance. The invention does not claim nor intend to replace the prior art rigid orthopaedic splints that completely neutralize the wrist. The invention will be marketed as a preventative measure and as a reliever of RSI pain. There is no claim to cure any condition and users will be directed to contact a reputable practitioner if their pain persists.

Abstract: A method for rerouting a connection set up along a path calculated between a first node (A.1.2) and a second node (C.2), of a switching network structured into a plurality of peer groups at at least two hierarchical levels, implies that within a peer group along said path, of not the highest hierarchical level, a local alternative path within this peer group is established between anentering border node and an outgoing border node of said peer group, based on path information stored within this entering border node during set up of theconnection, and including an identifier of said outgoing border node of said peer group. In a variant method this path information is stored within each entering border node of each peer group, thereby allowing the local alternative path to be established in the lowest level peer group possible.
