Patent CA-2210155-C (CA)
Title: Energy transmission chain
Inventor: GUENTER BLASE
IPC: F16G13/16
Filed: 1996-10-28
Granted: 2001-06-19
Abstract: The invention relates to an energy transmission chain for guid- ing hoses, cables and the like between two connection points, where the chain links each have two side elements connected by cross-members, the side elements of adjacent chain links display overlapping sections and are joined via these in pivoting and swivelling fashion in one plane. Energy transmission chains with high lateral stability, which do not sag, particularly when installed in a lateral position, and which are simple and inex- pensive to manufacture are frequently desired. This is particu- larly the case if the moveable consumer connected to the energy transmission chain is traversed in a horizontal plane. Thus, in the energy transmission chains in accordance with the invention, at least one of the respective adjacent side elements (1) dis- plays at least one guide groove (7) extending parallel to the swivelling plane, where the side element adjacent to this one engages one of the guide grooves over the entire swivelling angle by means of at least one guide element (8) extending par- allel to the swivelling plane.

Abstract: Appareil téléphonique à haut-parleur compensateur d'échos comprenant un haut-parleur qui produit une onde de pression acoustique en réponse à un signal d'entrée appliqué à son entrée audio. Ladite onde de pression acoustique comprend une composante linéaire souhaitée qui est une fonction linéaire du signal d'entrée, et une composante non linéaire indésirable qui est une fonction non linéaire du signal d'entrée; l'onde de pression acoustique est transmise le long d'un trajet acoustique. Un microphone est positionné dans ce trajet acoustique et convertit l'onde de pression acoustique en un signal de sortie. Un filtre d'échos est sensible au signal d'entrée et génère un signal d'écho estimé. Ce filtre d'échos comprend un modèle de haut-parleur qui génère une estimation de l'onde de pression acoustique comportant une estimation de la composante linéaire et de la composante non linéaire. Ledit filtre d'échos comporte également un modèle de trajet acoustique qui génère une estimation du trajet acoustique entre le haut-parleur et le microphone. De plus, un soustracteur soustrait le signal d'écho estimé du signal de sortie, réduisant ainsi une partie d'écho dudit signal sonore.

Abstract: The invention provides apparatus for electrostatically coating a pharmaceutical tablet core with powdered coating material. The apparatus comprises a first rotary drum (12) on which a core is held in electrical isolation from its surroundings but at a potential difference to earth by an electrode which contacts the core. The core is carried past a coating station B at which particles of powder having an opposite potential difference to earth are held in a tray (18). The surface of the drum is held at the same potential difference to earth as the powder particles. The powder is attracted to the core, and not to the drum, coating the exposed surface of the core. The drum carries the coated core past a fusing station C at which a heater fuses the powder to form a continuous film coating. The core is then turned and transferred onto a second drum (12') where the other surface is coated in the same way.

Abstract: A co-generation grain dryer is herein described. The grain dryer comprises a grain bin having a bin aeration system and an internal combustion engine coupled to an electric generator. The internal combustion engine produces hot exhaust gases and hot liquid coolant when in operation and the internal combustion engine includes a liquid to air heat exchanger and an air to air heat exchanger. The internal combustion engine also provides mechanical power for driving a fan and a blower. Specifically, the fan is arranged to blow ambient air through the liquid to air heat exchanger, thereby heating the ambient air and the blower receives the heated air from the fan and forces the air past the air to air heat exchanger, thereby further heating the air. The blower is also arranged to force the heated air into the bin aeration system so that the heated air dries the grain in the grain bin.

Title: Method for evaluation of polymorphic genetic sequences, and the use thereof in identification of hla types
Inventor: GREEN RONALD J
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1996-12-19
Granted: 2004-11-30
Abstract: The allelic type of a polymorphic genetic locus in a sample is identified by first combining the sample with a sequencing reaction mixture containing a polymerase, nucleoside feedstocks, one type of chain terminating nucleoside and a sequencing primer to form a plurality of oligonucleotide fragments of differing lengths, and then evaluating the length of the oligonucleotide fragments. As in a standard sequencing procedure, the lengths of the fragments indicate the positions of the type of base corresponding to the chain terminating nucleotide in the extended primer. Instead of performing and evaluating four concurrent reactions, one for each type of chain terminating nucleotide, however, the sample is concurrently combined with at most three and preferab ly only one, sequencing reaction mixtures containing different types of chain terminating nucleotides. The information obtained from this test is evaluated prior to performing any additional tests on the sample. In many cases, evaluation of the positions of only a single base usi ng one sequencing reaction will allow for allelic typing of the sample.

Abstract: Fixation element (20) for an implantable microphone (10) having a cylindrical housing part (14) provided with acoustic inlet membrane (13) that can be inserted into a hole (28) which crosses a rear bony wall (29) of the auditory canal. The fixation element (20) has a cylindrical sleeve part which surrounds the cylindrical housing part of the microphone and which has projecting, elastic flange parts (23) which can be placed against side (33) of the wall of the auditory canal which faces skin (30) of the auditory canal. In use, the elastic flange parts are held in a bent position against an elastic restoring force of the flange parts, before implantation, by applying a holder to the flange parts which allows insertion of the flanges through the hole of the wall of the auditory canal, and after the microphone assembly has been inserted through the hole, the holder (which can be, for example, thread or a cap), is removed allowing the elastic flange parts to spring into a position in which they project essentially radially away from the cylindrical sleeve part between the wall of the auditory canal which faces skin of the auditory canal and the skin of the auditory canal.

Title: Method and apparatus for sensing armature position in reluctance electromagnetic actuators
Inventor: LI LONG-JANG
IPC: H01F7/16
Filed: 1998-09-25
Granted: 2001-10-23
Abstract: An apparatus detects a position of an armature within a solenoid coil by superimposing a fixed frequency sensing signal onto the coil driver signal.  The combined signal is applied to the solenoid coil and an alternating current component varies with changes in inductance of the solenoid coil that result from position changes of the armature.  A current sensor produces an output signal indicating a level of current flowing through the solenoid coil and a filter extracts the alternating component of that output signal that results from the sensing signal.  A position circuit determines the position of the armature from an output from the filter.

Abstract: An electric vehicle is controlled to conform its operation to that of a conventional internal-combustion-engine powered vehicle. In some embodiments, the charging of the batteries by the auxiliary source of electricity and from dynamic braking is ramped in magnitude when the batteries lie in a state of charge between partial charge and full charge, with the magnitude of the charging being related to the relative state of charge of the battery. The deficiency between traction motor demand and the energy available from the auxiliary electrical source is provided from the batteries in an amount which depends upon the state of the batteries, so that the full amount of the deficiency is provided when the batteries are near full charge, and little or no energy is provided by the batteries when they are near a discharged condition. At charge states of the batteries between near-full-charge and near-full-discharge, the batteries supply an amount of energy which depends monotonically upon the charge state. Charging of the batteries from the auxiliary source is reduced during dynamic braking when the batteries are near full charge. Control of the amount of energy returned during dynamic braking may be performed by control of the transducing efficiency of the traction motor operated as a generator.
