Title: Hinged lid trash can for curbside refuse pickup
Inventor: BERGER JOHN R
IPC: B65F1/12
Filed: 2003-05-15
Abstract: A trash container with a lid is emptied by a mechanical lifting device. A latch bar is provided that is engaged by the lift when the container is inverted. The latch bar is mounted in openings on both sides of a wide recess on the front wall of the container. The outer ends of the latch bar extend through the openings into the inside of the container and are accommodated with a clearance portion of a lower stacked container when the containers are stacked together for shipment. The lid is initially assembled in an open position with the lid hanging down vertically. After closing the lid for the first time by rotation of the lid through 270°, a hinge stop prevents the lid from being rotated back to the original position. The hinge stop supports the lid in an open position that is rotated about 110° from the closed position.

Patent CA-2455160-A1 (CA)
Title: One-use retracting syringe with positive needle retention
Inventor: ZHU JUDY
IPC: A61M5/158
Filed: 2002-12-02
Abstract: A retracting syringe of one use has a plunger comprising a handle portion and a needle retention portion forward of the handle portion which serves as the plunger and preferably also serves to trigger the retraction mechanism when the handle is moved forward beyond the forward end-of-injection position. The positive locking stricture in the syringe barrel permits one withdrawal of the handle in the rearward direction to fill the variable fluid chamber and one movement in the forward direction to empty the variable fluid chamber but thereafter limits the rearward movement of the needle retention chamber and/or the handle to ensure that the syringe cannot be reused even if the user fails to trigger the retraction device to retract the needle. In one embodiment, the positive locking structure is a stop in the syringe barrel which allows a diametrically enlarged portion of the needle retention chamber to move past the lock when going forward and having a two part separable handle. The handle portion merely separates after one use and is removed from the syringe without withdrawing the needle retention chamber or needle which are protected by the barrel. In a second embodiment, the handle behind the needle retention chamber has a plurality of stepped serrations and a clip which is movable with respect to both the handle and the barrel. After one use of the syringe, points on the clip dig into the inner surface of the barrel to prevent rearward movement. In a third embodiment the positive locking structure is a clip fixed in an enlarged back opening of the barrel with springing points which are protected from a plurality of stepped serrations on the handle by sliding collar which can move only one way relative the handle like those of the second embodiment. After one use the sliding collar slides forward with the handle allowing the handle to be fully depressed to make the injection. Any attempt to withdraw the handle after one injection is prevented by the points digging into the serrations on the handle. Since the handle cannot be withdrawn a second time, the syringe cannot be refilled. The one use feature disclosed herein can be applied to a nonretracting syringe to prevent reuse.

Patent CA-2458271-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SUBRAHMANYA PARVATHANATHAN
IPC: H04B1/7083
Filed: 2002-08-20
Abstract: Techniques for improved handoff searching in asynchronous systems, such as W-CDMA, are disclosed. In one aspect, a two-step (220, 230) search procedure is used when a list of neighbor codes is known. In the first step (220), a received signal is correlated with a slot timing code to locate on or more pilots and the slot boundaries associated therewith. In the second step (230), the received signal is correlated with each of the list of codes at the slot boundaries identified with pilots in the first step to identify the pilot code and the frame timing associated with each pilot. Various other aspects of the invention are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of decreasing search time, which translates to increased acquisition speed, higher quality signal transmission, increased data throughput, decreased power, and improved overall system capacity.
