Title: Sliding sheet type of variable-teeth gear
Inventor: WANG GUOBIN
IPC: F16H3/00
Filed: 2005-09-21
Abstract: The present invention concerns an infinitely variable engaged gear with sliding sheet type of variable teeth. It belongs in the field of gear drive and infinitely variable mechanical variator. The variable-teeth gear is designed with the principle of "sliding sheet type of variable teeth" and its working surface has a plurality of multiple~laminated sliding sheets (or sliding needles) to form any suitable shape of engaged teeth by free sliding of the sheets. Since the sliding direction of sheets is different from that of the load force, the sheets can freely slide to configure gear teeth. In drive conditions, since the loading direction is perpendicular to that of free sliding or the angle between them is limited within the range of frictional self-locking angle, the sliding sheets can not change the shape of teeth when loaded. All sliding sheets integrally form a closed elastic ring with features of "rigidity-flexibility combination and movable teeth locking ", and with advantages of high loading capacity, high efficiency, simple construction, small volume and low cost. It can be used in vehicle or industrial field of high speed and large power.

Patent CA-2596701-A1 (CA)
Title: Identification system and method for medication management
Inventor: MARTINEZ JOHN
IPC: G16H70/40
Filed: 2006-02-11
Abstract: An identification system and method for medication management comprises a controller, a drug library accessible by the controller, the drug library containing drug library profiles including a data set of drug information, and an identification module configured to read patient identification information from machine-readable identification devices worn by patients and to read drug information from machine-readable identification devices affixed to drugs or containers of drugs. The controller compares the read information to each other and to the drug library profile and provides alerts or error signals in the event of an inconsistency. In one case, identification devices are read by an optical reader fixedly mounted to the identification module. In another case, identification devices are read by an optical reader that is hand-held and mobile and can be moved to the location of the identification device. The hand-held reader communicates with the identification module by wired or wireless means. In another case, a third reader that is non-optical and wireless is fixedly mounted to the identification module. The controller is also configured to provide alerts or error messages in the event that there is an inconsistency between the drug information on the drug or drug container when compared to the drug library profile associated with the controller.

Patent CA-2600708-A1 (CA)
Title: System and method for locating objects and communicating with the same
Inventor: KARR LAWRENCE J
IPC: H01Q11/02
Filed: 2005-12-20
Abstract: Communication between a remote locator and a transponder is used to determine the relative position of the transponder. The transponder and locator each include a transmitter and a receiver. The locator transmits an inquiry in the form of a relatively powerful cyclically encoded signal with repetitive elements, uniquely associated with a target transponder. Periodically, each transponder correlates its coded ID against a possible inquiry signal, determining frequency, phase and framing in the process. Upon a match, the transponder transmits a synthesized response coherent with the received signal. The locator integrates multiple cyclical response elements, allowing low-power transmissions from the transponder. The locator correlates the integrated response, determines round-trip Doppler shift, time-of-flight, and then computes the distance and angle to the transponder. The transponder can be wearable, bionically implanted, or attached to, or embedded in, some object.
