Title: A spring mounting arrangement for a sash window counterbalance arrangement
Inventor: BRAID SIMON CHRISTOPHER
IPC: E05F1/16
Filed: 2001-11-22
Abstract: A sash window counterbalance arrangement for counterbalancing the weight of a sash window. The arrangement comprises a sash window spring support mounting located within a channel in a sash window jamb, and a sash shoe slidable in said channel. In use a spring force is generated between said spring support and sash shoe by a spring means to counterbalance the weight of said sash window. The spring mounting comprises at least one mounting peg which projects from said mounting to engage a mounting aperture defined within one of said channel walls to locate and secure said spring support mounting within the channel. The mounting peg is resiliently biassed into engagement with said aperture.
Patent CA-2364103-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SOSINSKY PETER M
IPC: G01N21/91
Filed: 2001-11-29
Abstract: The present invention provides a device that uses an ultraviolet LED to locate fluorescent materials. In particular, the present invention is directed to a device that is used to detect leaks, cracks or fissures in a contained system, such as, for example, an air conditioning system for a vehicle. The device has a main body, an ultraviolet LED mounted to the main body so that ultraviolet light from the LED is directed away from the device, and a power source linked to the ultraviolet LED to provide power to the LED.      The ultraviolet LED can be an UVA LED. Moreover, the wavelength of the ultraviolet light produced by the LED is about 315 nm to about 400 nm. The method of the invention for locating fluid leaks can comprise, for example, introducing an ultraviolet dye into a fluid in a contained system, such as, for example, an air conditioning system of a vehicle, and illuminating an area of the system to be checked for fluid leaks with an ultraviolet LED light source.  The ultraviolet light from the LED causes the ultraviolet dye in the fluid to fluoresce.

Filed: 2002-01-02
Abstract: A system for automatically retrieving and reporting "message count" information to an individual that has multiple voice message mailboxes uses a database and associated speech recognition unit. The system launches phone calls to each of the user's voice mailboxes and the speech unit "listens" to the initial response message to capture the count information usually contained in the beginning of the reply. The system then collects the separate counts associated with each mailbox and sends a report of the counts to the user. The system may use telephone connections or data connections to communicate with the user.

Title: Combination of suction stripper and mechanical jaws bottom de-stacking sheets to an imbricated feed line
Inventor: KELLER ALEX
IPC: B65H3/08
Filed: 2000-09-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for dispatching flat flexible products, especially printing products (9), stored in a stack. According to said metho d, a suctioning element (2) is used to fold the front edge section (31) of each  individual product in a downward direction away from the underside of the stack of products (8), whereupon said individual products are dispatched by a gripper (3) which grasps the front edge section thereof. The direction in which the gripper (3) moves in the underside region of the stack (8) of the products extends essentially from the front edge section to the rear edge section of the products (9) located in the stack. Once each individual produ ct (9) has been folded by the suctioning element (2), the suctioning element (2 ) is used to transfer said products directly to a gripper (3), whereby each individual product (9) is continuously maintained by the suctioning element (2) or the gripper (3) during the folding operation and dispatching occurs immediately thereafter. The invention also relates to a device for implementing said method.

Title: Continuity testing in communication networks
Inventor: KENNEDY RICHARD N
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 2001-03-13
Abstract: A communication system (310) is disclosed for providing continuity testing in packet communication networks. The communication system (310) is comprised of a first communication hub (301) and a second communication hub (305) connected to a packet communication network (302). The second communication hub (305) receives a continuity test instruction from the network (302). The second communication hub (305) processes the continuity test instruction to generate a request for continuity acknowledgment message that it transmits. The first communication hub (301) receives and processes the request for continuity acknowledgment message to generate a continuity acknowledgment message. The first communication hub (301) transmits the continuity acknowledgment message to the second communication hub (305). The second communication hub (305) validates connectivity between the first communication hub (301) and the second communication hub (305) based on the continuity acknowledgment message. In some examples, the first communication hub (301) generates and transmits call tones to a call device (300) based on call tone messages transmitted by the second communication hub (305).

Title: Multi-axial bone anchor system
Inventor: YOUNG JOHN STEWART
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2001-03-13
Abstract: A multi-axial bone fixation implant (520) includes an elongated member (522), one or more bone anchor assemblies (524), and stabilizer members (526) which are fitted within the elongated member. A bone bolt (540) having cancellous threads on one end and machine threads at the opposing end and an enlarged portion between these sections is also provided. The bone bolt is anchored into a bone via the cancellous thread end. The machine threaded end passes through an opening of the elongated member and the stabilizer, and is engaged by a coupled washer (582) and nut (544). The washer includes an undercut within its oblong aperture, and the nut includes a projecting sleeve. The sleeve is inserted into the washer aperture and expanded, so that the undercut retains the sleeve within the washer without impairing the rotatability or translatability of the nut and washer with respect to each other. When locked by the nut and washer atop the elongated member, the enlarged portion of the bolt is forced against an inside wall of the stabilizer, which is in turn locked against the elongated member. Accordingly, the elongated member is fixed with respect to the bone anchor at one of an infinite number of multi-axial angles.

Abstract: There is provided a fuel cell stacking body that allows a connector unit to be used even when the thickness of the fuel cells has been made thinner. A fuel cell stacking body is provided with stacked fuel cells that each have a membrane electrode assembly and separators that sandwich this membrane electrode assembly. The fuel cells generate electricity when fuel gas and oxidizer gas are supplied. The separators of the fuel cells are provided with terminals that enable voltage to be measured by being connected to connectors that are connected an external voltage measuring apparatus. One of the voltage measuring sections is formed at a different position, with respect to the stacking direction, from the voltage measuring section that is adjacent in the stacking direction. The spacing between terminals that are at the same position with respect to the stacking direction is kept at a distance that allows a connector unit formed by grouping together a plurality of connectors to be inserted.
