Patent CA-2188078-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALOFS CORNELL W
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 1996-10-17
Abstract: This invention relates to a swivel caster fitted with rotational and swivel angle measurement sensors mounted to a driverless vehicle so that the lateral motion of the vehicle can be detected and accounted for by the vehicle's navigation and guidance system. A preferred embodiment of the present invention is a driverless vehicle comprising a navigation and guidance system having an angular motion sensor and a track wheel caster assembly equipped with a caster pivot sensor and a wheel rotation sensor to determine the relative position of the vehicle by taking into account substantially all movement of the vehicle along the surface upon which the vehicle is travelling. These sensors enable the navigation system to more accurately determine the vehicles current position and enable the guidance system to better guide the vehicle.

Title: Live vaccine for the treatment of tumour diseases
Inventor: BLANKENSTEIN THOMAS
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 1995-08-18
Abstract: The invention concerns the preparation and use of a live tumour-cell vaccine which contains three additional genes prepared by genetic-engineering techniques: a) a gene coding for a cell-surface protein with immunostimulatory activity, b) a cytokin gene and c) the thymidine kinase gene. The fields of application of the invention are medicine and genetic engineering. The live vaccine proposed owes its effect to the fact that a synergistic anti-tumour response is induced by the multiple transfer of genes which code for immunostimulatory activity. This leads to reliable repulsion of the vaccine cells and enables cells capable of multiplying to be injected as a vaccine. As an additional safety marker, the vaccine cells are given the thymidine kinase gene which enables the vaccine cells to be selectively killed in vivo. The combinatory expression of genes with immunostimulatory activity improves the vaccine effect in comparison with prior art tumour-cell vaccines, and a live tumour-cell vaccine is more effective than a vaccine consisting of cells which are incapable of multiplying. The vaccine is intended for use in the genetic therapy of cancer patients.

Inventor: SHIPP JOHN I
IPC: A61B17/122
Filed: 1995-10-03
Abstract: Le dispositif d'application de pinces (10) objet de l'invention permet de résoudre le problème posé par les outils de l'état actuel de la technique, étant donné qu'il incorpore un mécanisme de serrage préalable, dont la fonction est de serrer au préalable le vaisseau à ligaturer à une dimension telle que le montant central du ressort de la pince de ligature (16) ne sera soulevé que légèrement. Ceci permettra de glisser la pince à ressort (16) au-dessus des dimensions réduites et serrées au préalable. De ce fait, le matériau de ressort de la pince restera à l'intérieur de sa limite d'élasticité et l'outil pourra conserver une caractéristique de faible dimension, de façon à l'utiliser en chirurgie endoscopique, même sur des vaisseaux présentant un diamètre important.

Title: Systems for generating and analyzing stimulus-response output signal matrices
Inventor: RINE JASPER
IPC: G16B25/10
Filed: 1996-08-12
Abstract: Stimulus-response patterns are analyzed using deduction protocols applied through AI systems such as expert systems and neural networks. Generating an output signal matrix database involves: (i) constructing a stimulated physical matrix; (ii) detecting a physical signal at each unit of the physical matrix; (iii) transducing each physical signal to generate an electrical output signal; (iv) storing each output signal in an output signal matrix data structure; and (v) repeating steps (i) - (iv) to iteratively store output signal matrix data structures for a plurality of stimuli to form an output signal matrix database. Individual output signal matrices are compared to such output signal matrix databases according for qualitative analysis. The stimulated physical matrices comprise an ordered array of units, each confining (1) either a different responder of a living thing or a probe corresponding to such a different responder and, (2) an identifier for the responder or probe. The living thing is provided a stimulus capable of repressing the responders of a plurality of the units and the identifier provides a physical signal corresponding to the repression of such different responder.

Title: Model predictive control apparatus and method
Inventor: CAWLFIELD DAVID W
IPC: G05D7/06
Filed: 1995-10-13
Abstract: A model predictive control apparatus and method for controlling the operation of a process having a process input signal and a process output signal, which includes determining a predicted process output signal at a future steady state condition according to a process model, determining a steady state error signal according to the difference between the predicted process output signal and a desired set point signal, and determining a set of future process input change signals required to correct for the estimated steady state error by providing at least one step response in the process output at a future time. The next net process input change is then applied according to the sum of the currently determined first element of the set of future process input change signals summed with any future process input change signals that were previously calculated for the next process input change signal that is calculated according to this method. The model is expressed in velocity form. Process tuning parameters are available to dampen the net process input change as well as the currently determined first element of the process input change with respect to a process input change signal that is calculated according to the steady state error divided by the steady state process gain.

Title: High voltage current limiting fuse with improved low overcurrent interruption performance
Inventor: HANNA WILLIAM KINGSTON
IPC: H01H85/42
Filed: 1997-05-23
Abstract: A high voltage current limiting fuse has improved low fault current interruption due to an end-sealed sleeve separating a fusible length from pulverulent sand in a casing of the fuse while permitting venting of gas and vaporized metal plasma due to melting and arcing at the fusible length. The fuse can have one or more fusible elements, of which at least one, preferably each one, is surrounded along at least a selected portion along its length by a polytetrafluorethylene polymer, fluoroethylene polymer, or derivatives thereof, which can be heat shrinkable or not. The sleeve is sealed so as to allow escape of gases upon arcing from the sleeve but to prevent pulverulent materials from penetrating within the sleeve. The sleeve seals are either melted and crimped together with the fusible element, heat shrunk down onto the fusible element, or taped over the fusible element so as to leave a gap small enough to exclude the pulverulent material while venting gas and plasma. A high voltage current limiting fuse has improved low fault current interruption also due to inclusion of a separating low fault current compartment with at least one gas-venting end-sealed sleeve separating a fusible length from either pulverulent sand or air in a casing of the fuse. The sleeve in the low fault current compartment can include a plurality of spaced passageways for inclusion of multiple fusible elements. The sleeve portions of the fusible elements in the low fault current compartment can also be positioned in channels in a block of insulative material placed in this compartment.

Abstract: The present invention provides an accessory module for monitoring and controlling the status of a circuit breaker. The accessory module attaches to the side of a circuit breaker and has a mechanism similar to the mechanism in a circuit breaker. The mechanism has multiple positions that correspond to multiple states of a circuit breaker. Actuators transform relatively largescale motions of the mechanism into small-scale motions and transfer these to buttons on switches. Depressing these switches depending on the position of the mechanical assembly makes and breaks circuits that are in communication with a remote site. The invention provides a circuit board designed specifically to hold and locate the switches and actuators and provide tracings that can withstand high currents. The invention further provides a terminal plug having a pull tab which can be grasped to remove an otherwise inaccessible terminal plug. The invention further provides a dual-function base, which serves both as an enclosure and as a spacer.
