Title: Tilting vehicle provided with steerable rear wheels
Inventor: VAN DEN BRINK CHRISTOPHER RALP
IPC: B62K25/10
Filed: 2001-05-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a tilting vehicle (1) with a front frame section (2) having a longitudinal axis (8), a driver's seat (7) and one or more wheels (4) that are able to turn about a front wheel steering axis (5) located transversely to the longitudinal axis (8). The vehicle has a rear frame section (3) with two wheels (14, 15) that is connected to the front frame section (2) such that it can tilt. The vehicle can also be provided with a tilting device (9), that can be operated by the driver, for relative tilting of the front and rear frame sections (2, 3). A sensor (12) measures, for example, a force or a movement on the front wheel (4) for controlling the tilting device (9). The rear wheels (14, 15) of the rear frame section (3) can be turned about a rear wheel steering axis (19, 20) located transversely to the longitudinal axis or can be tilted about a rear wheel tilt axis (17, 18) located essentially in the direction of the longitudinal axis (8) in order to prevent oscillations of the vehicle (1) at relatively high speeds.
Patent CA-2411501-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHENG HOWARD
IPC: A44C7/00
Filed: 2001-06-07
Abstract: A loop-typed pierced earring (10) has a pivotally mounted ear post (15) that spans the gap in the ring and moves in an arc transverse to the plane of the ring from an open position, to permit insertion through the ear lobe, to a locked position with the ear post free end held in a locking detent in the other end of the ring body. Movement of the ear post end (23) into the locking detent (25) forces a slight inward deflection of the resilient end post, after which the end springs into engagement with a locking recess (28). Attachment of the earring is simple and direct and requires no visual alignment by the wearer.

Title: Optical transmitter
Inventor: MACDONALD ROBERT I
IPC: H04B10/04
Filed: 2002-12-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus for introducing a monitoring signal on an optical information signal for maintaining the correct bias condition of an interferometric modulator. A  dither signal is introduced into the optical signal that is output from the modulator. This composite signal is detected by tapping off a portion of the modulated light, and monitored in the output of an optical receiver that receives the tapped light. By suitable processing of the detected portion of the signal output from the modulator the information required to determine whether the bias is correct, and how to alter the bias voltage if it is not, is obtained and used to control the bias voltage.

Title: Knotless tissue anchor
Inventor: MARTINEK JONATHAN
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2001-09-14
Abstract: There is disclosed a radially expandable knotless tissue anchor including an  expandable outer member defining a bore and an inner member slidably positioned within the bore. Relative longitudinal movement of the inner memb er relative to the expandable member causes a portion of the expandable member to expand radially outwardly. The tissue anchor further includes a length of suture material having a first end affixed to a distal end to the inner memb er and a second end preferably affixed to a suturing needle. A transverse bore is provided adjacent the distal end of the inner member. There is also disclose d a method of knotlessly anchoring a section of tissue to a section of bone having a bore drilled therethrough. The method includes passing the suture through the tissue and positioning the expandable member and a section of tissue within the interior of the bore drilled in bone. Expansion of the expandable member secures the suture between the expandable member and the bone to thereby secure the attached tissue to bone. There is also disclosed a method of knotlessly securing a section of ligament within an elongated bore  drilled in bone. The method includes passing the length of suture through th e ligament and drawing the ligament adjacent the distal end of the inner membe r and wrapping or lashing the ligament to the distally inner member. Distal movement of the expandable member relative to the inner member causes expansion of the expandable member to secure both the suture and the section  of ligament between the expandable member and the bone. Additionally, a dist al movement of the expandable member forces the lashed sections of suture off t he inner member.

Filed: 2001-09-08
Abstract: L'invention concerne une éolienne comprenant un rotor qui présente au moins une pale (10) et une unité de déplacement (12) pour cette dernière (10). Un accroissement de la taille de l'éolienne, et par conséquent de celle des pales de rotor, requiert également un accroissement de la taille des systèmes d'entraînement pour le déplacement des pales de rotor. L'accroissement de la taille de ces systèmes d'entraînement nécessite un investissement plus important en terme de logistique, temps et matériel, notamment en cas de sinistre. L'objectif de l'invention est d'éviter ces inconvénients. A cet effet, on fait appel à une unité de déplacement comportant plus d'un système d'entraînement. Cela permet de réduire en conséquence la puissance fournie aux composants en aval par chaque système d'entraînement, ainsi que la taille de ces derniers.

Title: Character table implemented data compression method and apparatus
Inventor: COOPER ALBERT B
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 2002-04-15
Abstract: A new LZW compressor implementation architecture utilizes a plurality of character tables corresponding to the respective characters of the alphabet. A  string is stored by storing the code associated with the string in the character table corresponding to the extension character of the string at a character table location corresponding to the code of the string prefix. A  search for the longest matching string is performed by determining if the character table location is empty corresponding to the code of the currently matched string in the character table associated with the currently matched string in the character table associated with the currently fetched character.  If the location is not empty, it is storing the code of the string comprising the currently matched string extended by the currently fetched character. This string code is used as the next match with which to continue the search with the next fetched character. When the location is empty, the longest match has been determined to be the currently matched string. The stored strings are updated by storing the next available string code in the empty location.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for preparing paroxetine HCl from paroxetine base which provides paroxetine HCl substantially free of pink- colored compounds or an impurity identified by an HPLC RRT of about 1.5. The processes of the present invention utilize a buffer, a molar ratio of HCl to paroxetine base of less than one, and crystallize/recrystallize in the presence of an effective amount of an anti-oxidant. A preferred way to creat e a buffer is by using ammonium chloride. A preferred anti-oxidant is ascorbic acid. The present invention also provides for re-crystallizing paroxetine HC l prepared by the above methods or any other methods in the presence of an effective amount of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid. A preferred solve nt system for recrystallization is a mixture of acetone and methanol. Processes of the present invention can combine these various features.
