Filed: 1995-08-30
Abstract: A call selecting apparatus which comprises a signal receiver section for receiving dial signals in the form of dial pulse or DTMF; a main body processor for effecting call connection processing based on the transmitted digit codes which were received; and a received digit codes accumulating section for accumulating the digit codes received based on the dial signals received by the signal receiver section and which is provided as a peripheral device of the main body processor. The apparatus includes a digits number decision/call determination section for executing the decision how many digits codes should be accumulated in the received digit codes accumulating section as an accomplished destination telephone number, as well asdetermining whether the received digit codes correspond to the destination telephone number of a specific call or not. The digits number decision/call determination section is arranged as a peripheral device of the main body processor. The main body processor is arranged so that the result of the received digit codes and that of the determination are collectively inputted thereto. Particularly, the main body processor effects preferentially the connection processing as the digit codes received in the case where the digit codes received correspond to the destination in case of originating call congestion. The result is connection processing can positively be carried out in even an originating call congestion case.

Patent CA-2158287-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MALONEY PAUL JOHN
IPC: A01M31/00
Filed: 1995-09-14
Abstract: This invention relates to a series of physical pest control devices, herein referred to as "SENSOR ACTIVATED PEST CONTROL ASPIRATORS" or "S.A.P.C.A.". This invention is designed to capture pests like a lurking-robotic pest predator. This invention provides improvement to existing traps in that trapping takes place without the pest becoming engaged in or on the trapping device. Consequently, the efficiency of trapping is enhanced for common applications such as roaches. silverfish and mice, and is particularly useful in new applications for the control of social Hymenoptera (wasps, hornets, bumble bees, honey bees, Africanized bees, and fire ants). The embodiment of this invention is a pest catching system that incorporates a true motion detecting sensor (not just a trigger) in turn connected to a responding-vacuum aspirator to specifically form a S.A.P.C.A. action-head. This action-head incorporates the sucking aspirator end and the sensor into a functional form for each particular pest application. At an opportune moment, in response to an approaching or passing pest animal, the S.A.P.C.A. suddenly draws in and captures the pest. An array of design models differ to suit the pest and the application. The positioning of the S.A.P.C.A. action-head at specific locations, specifically where a particular pest type instinctively frequents, is of importance.

Title: Vertically adjustable door hinge
Inventor: BELAIR FLORENT
IPC: E05D7/04
Filed: 1996-01-29
Abstract: The invention consists of a vertically adjustable two leafed butt hinge. The adjustable hinge is used to adjust the vertical position of a door relative to it's frame. The most outstanding feature of the hinge is that the vertical door position may be adjusted while the leaf hinges remain mounted onto the door and door frame. The idea consists of a threaded door leaf, a non threaded door frame leaf and a screw inside the leaf knuckles attached to the threaded door leaf. This enables the user to adjust the vertical position of the door by simply turning the hinge screw. Turning the screw clockwise or counterclockwise moves the threaded leaf attached to the door up or down depending if its threads are clockwise or counterclockwise.  A clockwise or counterclockwise screw thread pattern may be used. The vertical movement of the leaf attached to the door moves relative to the stationary door frame because the screw resting on top of the door frame hinge remains at a fixed vertical position when you turn it. The screw remains at a fixed vertical position since it's head is pressed against the door frame leaf and held at that position by the weight of the door pushing down on it. The screw/thread assembly used for the hinge is selected such that it prevents the screw from unscrewing and screwing from the friction torque placed upon it when the door is opened and closed. A space is provided in between the hinge's door leaf knuckles and the hinges frame leaf knuckles to allow vertical motion of the door leaf without interference from the frame leaf knuckles. The vertical distance which the hinge will allow the door to move is the total space on top and bottom in between a door leaf knuckle and the nearest adjacent door frame knuckle. This type of vertically adjustable hinge assembly may be manufactured to any size to accommodate different door sizes and\or weights. The materials used to manufacture it may be various types of steel or other suitable materials which are cost effective and have the required wear resistant. A horizontal adjustment of the hinge may also be accomplished, if the materials used will allow the hinge knuckles to bend in the horizontal direction when sufficient force is applied, but strong enough to maintain it's postion after adjustments.

Inventor: MARKOWITZ ROBERT EDWARD
IPC: H04N1/00
Filed: 1995-10-26
Abstract: A telephone network carrying a facsimile transmission transmitted by a user from a facsimile transmission source modifies the user's facsimile transmission by incorporating with the user's facsimile information at least one advertisement, so as to form a combination facsimile transmission that is transmitted to a destination specified by the user. Ultimately, when the facsimile is printed or displayed, the advertisement will be printed or displayed as well. One or more "sheets" of facsimile information contained within the original facsimile transmission of the user may have an advertisement included therewith. The advertisement incorporated with each sheet may, but need not, be the same. The particular advertisements being incorporated with the user's facsimile information are independent of the content of the user's facsimile information, although they may be selected as a function of one or more parameters of the call over which the facsimile transmission travels. Depending on the option chosen, the advertisement may a) be placed into any available "white space" in which it will fit on the sheet of the facsimile information, i.e., the advertisement will not overwrite any of the user's facsimile information, b) be placed in available white space only in the margin areas of the sheet, or c) the image of the sheet may be shrunk slightly and the advertisement placed in the resulting available white space. Optionally, in exchange for agreeing to the inclusion of the advertisement the facsimile transmitter and/or the facsimile receiver are granted a discount on the cost of the call.

Title: Retrieval system for a range animal injection apparatus
Inventor: CAMERON DONALD JAMES
IPC: F42B12/54
Filed: 1995-12-08
Abstract: A retrieval system for a range animal injection apparatus is described. The retrieval system includes a valve positioned between a syringe and a needle.  In an open position there is a free flow of liquids from a syringe to the needle.  In the closed position flow is precluded. A contact member is movable axially in relation to the needle between a first end and a second end.   A rigid coupling couples the movement of the contact member and a valve member.  The valve is in a closed position when the contact member is positioned adjacent the second end of the needle.  The valve is in an open position when the contact member is positioned adjacent the first end of the needle.  When the second end of the needle enters a hide of an animal the contact member is pushed toward the first end of the needle by the hide of the animal forcing the valve into the open position.   Pressure from a pressure source urges liquid medication in the syringe passed the open valve member through the needle until the liquid medication has vacated the syringe.   Continued pressure from the pressure source then urges the valve member into the closed position, thereby moving the contact member toward the second end of the needle until the contact member pushes the needle out of the hide of the animal.

Title: Four horseshoe wire puzzle
Inventor: ADAMS MARTIN
IPC: A63F9/08
Filed: 1996-12-19
Abstract: A wire  form puzzle  is  disclosed.    The  puzzle provides a dumbbell shaped capture element having a straight wire body having rings at the ends.  An upper swing capture element provides a crescent shaped wire body having end rings attached to the straight wire body of the dumbbell shaped capture element.  A lower swing capture element  is  similar to the upper swing,  but smaller in size and is carried by the crescent shaped body of the upper swing.  Four horseshoe shaped captured loops are carried by the lower swing capture element, but are removed from all the capture elements in the course of the puzzle's solution.  The horseshoe shaped loops have the characteristic of having a point, defined by the inner wire defining the horseshoe loop, that will pass into any of the rings, and also having the characteristic that the rings of the captive element will pass through the indentation between the legs of the horseshoes.  The plurality of horseshoe loops challenges the user to perform the solution to the puzzle simultaneously on the left and right sides, wherein the movements solving the puzzle for different horseshoe loops are mirror images of each other.  Also, the plurality of horseshoe loops allows the user to repeatedly perform portions of the solution of the puzzle, thereby mentally reinforcing the steps taken which result in the puzzle's solution.
Patent CA-2193740-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DEANGELIS DOUGLAS J
IPC: H04N5/217
Filed: 1995-06-28
Abstract: A system for recording and displaying a time-sequential scene on a computer comprising a digital camera, an image timer, and a main control computer. The digital camera transmits a sequence of digital image frames to the timer representative of the image of a body passing a plane in space. Each frame represents a line object of the body, thus forming a fractional part of the scene. Once the frame reaches the image timer, it is digitally marked with a time reference and buffered into a block of information. The main control computer stores blocks of information from the image timer for a variety of processing and features available to the user. The invention also provides a compression system for compressing a sequence of digital image frames for storage into a selected memory, preferably a virtual memory subsystem, or hard-disc drive. Preferred constructions for adjusting camera pixel processing of light values, time-marking the images, creating color palettes for interactive viewing of color images, and video data coding to accommodate the high volume of line image data are described.
