Patent CA-2362045-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCNEIL ROBERT
IPC: A01K69/00
Filed: 2001-11-08
Abstract: Method and apparatus for emitting pre-recorded sounds that simulate the natural sounds present in the preferred habitat of lobster and other marine crustaceans. The attractant sound simulates the sound of water splashing, gurgling and moving as waves, current or tidal shift impact on the reef, boulder or other such geographic feature on the ocean floor. To lobsters and other crustaceans, these sounds represent shelter from prey and the presence of food source. When the apparatus is placed in a trap and the attractant sound is emitted, lobsters and other crustaceans are attracted to the source of the sound and enter the trap.

Title: Screwless terminal
Inventor: BURGER MICHAEL
IPC: H01R9/26
Filed: 2000-05-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a screwless terminal (1), especially a modular terminal, with a conductor bar (3) situated in a terminal housing (2) and wi th an insulation displacement contact element (4) electroconductively connected  to said conductor bar (3). An electrical conductor (11) that is introduced v ia a housing lead-through can be contacted between the cutting edges (7, 8) of the insulation displacement contact element (4), whereby the cutting edges ( 7, 8) face each other. According to the invention, the insulation displacement contact element (4) is moveably arranged on the conductor bar (3). Insulatio n displacement contacting of the fixedly positioned conductor (11) is carried out by a translation movement of the insulation displacement contact element  (4) along the conductor bar (3). An additional actuating element (40) that engages with an actuating tool (13) allows for a careful handling during contacting of the conductor (11) by avoiding a direct contact between the actuating tool (13) and a contacting element (4a, 4b) comprising the insulation displacement contact element (4).

Title: Fluid rotary machine
Inventor: DYKTYNSKI BEN
IPC: F04C2/46
Filed: 2000-05-30
Abstract: A fluid rotary machine (10) includes an inner housing (12) provided with a manifold (68) for directing working fluid through the machine (10) and an outer housing (14) coupled to the inner housing (12) so that the outer housing (14) can rotate relative to the inner housing (12). A plurality of swinging gates (16) are supported along one longitudinal edge in corresponding sockets (38) formed along the inner circumferential surface (32) of outer housing (14). A plurality of elongated lobes (30) are supported on and evenly spaced about the inner housing (12). There is one intake port (24) and one exhaust port (26) between adjacent lobes (30). The gates (16) are biased so as to ordinarily seal against the inner housing (12). High pressure fluid enters through the inlet port (24) to a region between a lobe (30) and gate (16) causing the outer housing (14) to rotate. Eventually the gate (16) wipes across an exhaust port (26) venting the high pressure fluid through the exhaust port. The gate (16) is then lifted from the surface of the inner housing (12) by contact with the next lobe (30).

Title: Improved metal-based powder compositions containing silicon carbide as an alloying powder
Inventor: NARASIMHAN KALATHUR
IPC: C22C33/02
Filed: 2000-06-23
Abstract: Metallurgical powder compositions are provided that include silicon carbide to enhance the strength, ductility, and machine-ability of the compacted and sintered parts made therefrom. The compositions generally contain a metal powder, such as an iron-based or nickel-based powder, that constitutes the major portion of the composition. Silicon carbide is blended with the metal powder, preferably in the form of a silicon carbide powder. Optionally, common alloying powders, lubricants, binding agents, and other powder metallurgy additives can be blended into the metallurgical composition. The metallurgical powder composition is used by compacting it in a die cavity to produce a "green" compact that is then sintered, preferably at relatively high temperatures.
Patent CA-2384333-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BECKLEY JOHN
IPC: G01L9/00
Filed: 2000-07-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de mesure de la pression comprenant une première chambre (11) et une seconde chambre (12) séparées par un diaphragme. Ce diaphragme supporte des dispositifs SAW sur ses côtés respectifs, lesdits dispositifs SAW présentant des fréquences de résonance différentes. Des variations de pression entre la seconde chambre (12) et la première chambre (11) provoquent une déformation du diaphragme, les changements de fréquence de résonance des dispositifs SAW pouvant alors être analysés pour obtenir le différentiel de pression entre lesdites chambres. Comme le montrent les illustrations, le dispositif de mesure de la pression est intégré dans un ensemble valve destiné à un pneu de véhicule. Lorsque le pneu de véhicule est gonflé, la pression de gonflage est piégée dans la première chambre (11) en tant que référence. Ainsi, toute baisse de pression dans la seconde chambre (12), par exemple lors d'une crevaison, produit une déformation du diaphragme et un signal de sortie correspondant en provenance des dispositifs SAW.

Title: Method and apparatus for coordinating user selection of network service providers over a broadband communications network
Inventor: KALMANEK CHARLES ROBERT JR
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2001-03-20
Abstract: A method of configuring a network access device having a first network address allocated to a subscriber of services of a first service provider provided by a first service network, with a new network address allocated to a subscriber of services of a second service provider provided by a second service network, wherein the network access device is connected to an access network connected to a plurality of service networks. The method comprises the steps of: sending a request from the network access device to the access network requesting a change to a second service provider; receiving a response from the access network; and initiating a network address change request using a configuration protocol. In this manner, a second network address allocated to the subscriber of services of the second service provider is assigned to the network access device to enable the network access device to communicate data packets to the service network providing the selected service. In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the subscriber is authenticated by a service activation system coupled to the access network prior to initiating the configuration protocol. Accordingly, the request to the access network includes an authentication request for the subscriber. The response received from the access network therefore includes an authentication status for the subscriber from the second service provider. If the subscriber is authenticated, the client initiates the network address change request.
