Patent CA-2649643-A1 (CA)
Title: Leaf slide
Inventor: HOGAN JOHN J
IPC: B65B67/12
Filed: 2008-12-23
Abstract: In the yearly chore of leaf clean up the first task is to rake the leaves into a number of large piles. The next job is found to be the most tedious and physically laborious. This is the act of bending down and picking up the leaves, either by hand or hand held products to fill bags for disposal. Today, commercial lawn and garden bags require an average of fifteen to twenty separate acts of bending down and picking up the leaves to fill one bag.  After filling ten or more bags for disposal this repeated act can be very stressful on the body, especially for seniors and people with existing physical problems. Therefore, this inven-tion will be more ergonomically friendly. In the use of this product a reduction in the use of gas powered leaf blowers and vacuums could be achieved being more environmentally friendly.

Patent CA-2675382-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DENISON TIMOTHY J
IPC: H03F3/38
Filed: 2007-04-11
Abstract: This disclosure describes a chopper stabilized instrumentation amplifier. The amplifier is configured to achieve stable measurements at low frequency with very low power consumption. The instrumentation amplifier uses a differential architecture and a mixer amplifier to substantially eliminate noise and offset from an output signal produced by the amplifier. Dynamic limitations, i.e., glitching, that result from chopper stabilization at low power are substantially eliminated through a combination of chopping at low impedance nodes within the mixer amplifier and feedback. The signal path of the amplifier operates as a continuous time system, providing minimal aliasing of noise or external signals entering the signal pathway at the chop frequency or its harmonics. The amplifier can be used in a low power system, such as an implantable medical device, to provide a stable, low-noise output signal.
