Patent CA-2122941-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SENGSTOCK ROBERT H
IPC: A61F13/20
Filed: 1994-05-05
Abstract: An apparatus and method of assembling an inner tube into a hollow outer tube is disclosed for forming a tampon applicator.  The apparatus includes a first member configured to mate with the outer tube and a second member configured to mate with the inner tube.  A vacuum is intermittently supplied to the first and second members to hold the inner and outer tubes in coaxial alignment.  The apparatus also includes a push rod which is designed to contact and move the inner tube off of the second member and into the outer tube.  The movement of the push rod is activated by a control mechanism which can reciprocally move the push rod a predetermined distance at a set time to permit the inner tube to be inserted into the outer tube. The control mechanism also enables the push rod to be separated from the inner tube after the two tubes are assembled.  The method includes the sequential steps involved in using a vacuum to position the inner and outer tubes in coaxial alignment and then using the push rod to insert the inner tube into the outer tube.

Abstract: An apparatus (400) and method indirectly determines the amount of outside air introduced into the ventilation system of a structure to control the indoor air quality in the structure. Test gas concentrations, preferably carbon dioxide concentrations, are measured for return air, outside air and mixed (supply) air. The flow rate of mixed air is measured and the volume of outside air introduced into the system is determined through use of the test gas concentration measurements without directly measuring the volume or flow rate of outside air. Preferably, a single sensor (104) is utilized to measure each of the trace gas concentrations in the return air, outside air and supply air, and the various measurements sequentially multiplexed to a controller (46). Moreover, for calibrating the apparatus (400), a return air sensor (42) is calibrated to the outside air and a mixed air sensor (40) is calibrated to the outside air or the return air to eliminate inaccuracy due to sensor drift.

IPC: G06F17/30

Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating a processor-controlled system to produce from a first table image, upon receipt of an image display request signal from a signal source, a second table image including focal and context cell regions having output region sizes different from the regions sizes of the corresponding cells in the first table image. The output region size of each focal cell region is determined according to a "degree of interest" (DOI) function for each dimension of the table image that represents the level of interest of each cell region in that dimension. A predetermined cell size is allocated to focal cell regions, and the remaining available output space is allocated to the cell sizes of non-focal cell regions.      Image definition data defining the second table image is then produced.    For each focal cell region in the second table image, the source data value of a respectively paired source data item in an underlying n-dimensional (nD) information data array is obtained. Image definition data defining the image representation of the source data value is then produced for display in the respective focal cell region. The second table image having focal cell regions showing source data values therein is then displayed in the display area of a system display device. In another aspect of the method of the invention, graphical display objects indirectly, or graphically, representing the data values in the underlying data array are included in the non-focal cell regions. The graphical display object for each non-focal cell region is determined by a cell presentation type selected using the data type of the respectively paired source data item. Image definition data defining the graphical display object for each non-focal cell is provided to a system display device for display in the second table image. The underlying data in the nD data array is thus directly, or symbolically, represented in the focal cell regions and graphically, or indirectly, represented in the non-focal cell regions, facilitating both direct observation and interaction with actual data values and the visual inspection and identification of patterns and trends in the data. In addition, for very large table images that do not fit in a standard sized display area, the combined features of focal cell regions and indirect representation of the data occupies substantially less space in the display area and pemits a very large table to be entirely represented in one image, while still providing direct access to data values of particular interest. A sophisticated user interface permits a system user to fluidly adjust the focal region location and to perform table manipulation functions, such as reordering rows and column, sorting rows or columns, and deriving new rows or column, in order to further reveal data trends and patterns in the graphical representations.

Abstract: A strapping tool is disclosed of a type used to apply a steel strap in a tensioned loop around a package and to join the strap via a series of interlocking joints comprising interlockable shoulders punched into overlapped ends of the strap.  A base of the strapping tool extends longitudinally and defines a pair of recesses.  A frame upstanding from the base is mounted integrally to the base.  In a mechanism for admitting the overlapped ends into the tool, for retaining the overlapped ends, and for releasing the overlapped ends from the tool, a pair of latches having hooked ends are mounted pivotably to the base so as to be pivotable between closed positions wherein the latches are positioned with the hooked ends extending into the recesses to retain the overlapped ends between the latch and the base and between the hooked ends and the frame and opened positions wherein the latches are displaced angularly from the closed positions to admit the overlapped ends into the tool and to release the overlapped ends from the tool.  The latches are biased into the closed positions.  Coacting elements including a lever, which can be manually squeezed toward an actuating handle of the strapping tool, and a camming member, which is arranged to cam the latches, are provided for pivoting the latches from the closed positions into the opened positions.

Abstract: An apparatus and process for combining an organic fibrous material with a thermoplastic material forming a wood-imitating composite. The mixed material is extruded into a die system (14) comprising a transition die (25), a stranding die (40), and a molding die (78). The flow rate of the material through the die system is equalized by preforming the mixed material with a transition die to a shape approaching the end product, stranding the material with the stranding die to form individual strands, and compressing the individual strands with the molding die after it exits the stranding die. The die system may also include an adapter die (16) positioned between the extruder (12) and the transition die which functions to control the amount of mixed material which enters the die system. A product comprised of recyclables shredded and mixed to form a wood-imitating composite from a low-temperature extruder is also provided.
