Patent CA-2241401-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SEINO TAKUMI
IPC: B41J25/316
Filed: 1998-07-29
Abstract: A printer apparatus of the invention improves maintenance operation during paper jamming or head cleaning, and reduces the number of parts. The printer apparatus has a pressurizing cam that rotates by interacting with opening and closing of a cover member to release a head block without undergoing a pressing force by a leaf spring, thereby increasing the degree of opening to allow assembling a printer frame by incorporating principal parts therein. Accordingly, it is possible to improve operation during assembly as well as maintenance for paper jamming or head cleaning. Also, a third cam face of the pressurizing cam moves a movable piece of a detecting switch by the opening movement of the cover member. Accordingly, it is possible to detect, by only one switch, the opening-and-closing movement of the cover member and the movement of the head block into and out of contact with a platen roller, thereby reducing the number of required parts.

Inventor: POOL SCOTT L
IPC: A61B17/22
Filed: 1998-12-16
Abstract: A miniaturized obstruction treatment device, e.g., a brush, particularly adapted for medical use formed at the distal end of an elongated brush drive shaft having a hollow lumen formed therein for introduction over a guidewire. The brush drive shaft is enclosed in the lumen of an brush delivery catheter, and the brush bristles of the distal brush are adapted to be garaged in a distal end section of the brush delivery catheter lumen. A Y-connector and an brush sub-assembly connector are attached to the proximal end of the brush delivery catheter and form an brush sub-assembly with the brush drive shaft and brush. The Y-connector allows infusion of thrombolytic agents into the brush delivery catheter lumen for emission at the distal end opening thereof adjacent the brush. In use, the brush sub-assembly connector connects the brush sub-assembly with a drive motor unit connector of a drive motor unit. The drive motor unit receives the proximal end of the drive shaft and rotates it to rotate the brush bristles. The brush and brush drive shaft distal section are automatically extended out of the catheter lumen distal end opening when the sub-assembly connector and the drive motor unit connector positively lock together. Simultaneously, a drive hub of the brush drive shaft locks into a drive chuck of a drive motor unit to enable rotation of the drive shaft, and the proximal drive shaft end is seated in a dynamic seal that inhibits infiltration of blood and thrombolytic agent into the drive motor housing.
Patent CA-2256231-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLOECHLE WALTER
IPC: G01D5/347
Filed: 1998-12-15
Abstract: The present invention represents a new method for reading the position of an encoding mask. This method significantly increases the resolution without increasing the encoding mask resolution. An array of light cells is placed at one side of an encoding mask and consists of the number N elements. An array of photocells is placed on the other side and also consists of number N elements. All cells in a photocell array are exposed in cell-by-cell order. The distance between cells in a light cell array is equal to the distance between cells in a photocell array. A photocell array is aligned with a light cell array. The output signal from a photocell array is made by summarizing the signals of each cell. The output signal from each cell is proportionate to the amount of the cell's surface being exposed. An encoding mask is designed in such a manner, that the output signal from a photocell array is a combination of the pulse and analog signals. Time position of the pulse signal gives the absolute position of the encoding mask above k cell in a photocell array and the phase shift of analog signal defines incremental position of an encoding mask between k and k+1 cells in a photocell array, where k is number of cell between 1 and N.

Title: Telephony and data network services at a telephone
Inventor: LIANG KENNETH J
IPC: H04L12/66
Filed: 1999-06-07
Abstract: A packetised data network includes IP telephones (ITs) and a network intelligence (NI). All of the keys of each IT are "soft" keys (i.e., they have no fixed function).  The NI associates a configuration data structure with the IT which correlates the keys with functions, and, based on this, may control the display of the IT to indicate the current function of certain of the soft keys. Some of the functions are requests for data services at the telephone (e.g., video or programmed audio over the Internet). When a user requests such a service with a key press, the NI sets up the service between the data source and the telephone. This may require associating a new configuration data structure with the keys of the IT. The IT user may activate multiple data services through the NI.
