Patent CA-2254218-A1 (CA)
Title: Prosthetic knee joint with enhanced posterior stabilization and dislocation prevention features
Inventor: PAPPAS MICHAEL J
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 1998-11-16
Abstract: The prosthetic knee joint is provided for resisting valgus-varus movements.  The joint includes a femoral component having a superior bone engaging surface and an inferior bearing surface.  A posterior notch extends anteriorly into the posterior end of the femoral component.  The prosthetic knee joint further includes a tibial component having an inferior bone engaging surface and a superior bearing surface.  A plastic bearing is disposed between the femoral and tibial components.  An inferior surface of the plastic bearing is in bearing engagement with the superior surface of the tibial component.  A superior bearing surface of the plastic bearing is in articular bearing engagement with the bearing surface of the femoral component.  The bearing includes a post projecting proximally from the superior surface.          The post is slidably received in the posterior notch of the femoral component and resists valgus-varus moments imposed upon the joint.          The post may include medial and lateral cam projections spaced from the superior bearing surface of the bearing.  The femoral component may include flanges at the posterior notch for engagement between the cam projections and the superior bearing surface to substantially prevent dislocation.

Patent CA-2261351-A1 (CA)
Title: Liquid slurry agitation apparatus
Inventor: BYERS STUART DAVID
IPC: B01F3/12
Filed: 1999-02-10
Abstract: A slurry agitation apparatus for selectively agitating slurry temporarily stored in the interior of a storage tank, which slurry contains heavier-than-liquid solids and is at least somewhat pumpable, comprises a slurry circuit having connected together in seriatim, and in fluid communication through pipes one with the next, an outlet disposed in the sump pit in fluid communication with the interior of the storage tank to permit egress of the slurry therefrom, a flow control valve, a selectively controllable slurry pump, and a discharge nozzle. The discharge nozzle is rotatably mounted in surrounding sealed relation on a substantially vertical spigot securely mounted on the concrete foundation of the storage tank, for selective rotation of the discharge nozzle about a substantially vertical main axis, and has a spout portion in fluid communication with the interior of the storage tank and oriented to emit the slurry from the spout portion as a generally horizontally directed discharge. A hydraulic circuit has connected together in seriatim, and in fluid communication through hydraulic piping one with the next, a selectively controllable hydraulic pump and a selectively operable hydraulic motor mounted within an enclosure located in the storage tank on the foundation, so as to be engaged in driving relation with the discharge nozzle. The discharge nozzle is selectively rotatable about its substantially vertical main axis. When slurry is being discharged from the discharge nozzle, there is a corresponding change in the horizontal direction of the discharge of slurry. The discharge nozzle may be selectively rotated even though a discharge operation is not being carried out; and the discharge nozzle may be stationary for a selected period of time during a discharge operation.

IPC: B31B50/58
Filed: 1999-09-15
Abstract: This retractable central conveyor (1) being used in a folder-gluer converting plate-like workpieces such as paper or cardboard for producing packagings. Such a folder-gluey comprises two frames between which are arranged two lateral conveyors (100, 110), the conveying means of which being belts (101, 111). The conveyor of the present invention comprises a structure consisting of four associated components (4, 5, 8, 11) which are transversely movable between the frames of the folder-gluer with respect to the travelling direction of said plate-like workpieces. Among these components of this structure, an upper longitudinal bar (4) can easily be manually lowered, in a vertical slanted movement, from a working position to a retracted position, and inversely raised by independent damping means (15). The central conveyor (1 ) can be retracted between the two lateral conveyors (100, 110) thus enabling the folder-gluer to be used in a new configuration where uncoupling of the transmission means necessary for the independent drive of the belt (30) is not required and which belt (30) is rotatable even in the retracted position. This conveyor allows to arrange the two lateral conveyors (100, 110) side by side so that the useable conveying width of the folder-gluer is reduced to a minimum value.

In a Java-compliant embodiment, a Java Application framework is implemented in hardware. The Java.AWT, Java.NET, and Java.IO application frameworks are supported in the preferred embodiment of the invention. Application framework classes are stored as libraries in a shared memory. Instances and methods of supported application framework classes that are executed by a Java program are offloaded to a hardware object management system. A software stub is provided as an interface between the hardware object management system and the central processing unit. Additional application frameworks can be supported by modifying or replacing the software stub. Hardware object management system requests are executed by an application framework-specific hardware accelerator. Application framework classes are retrieved from the shared memory as needed, and executed instructions are stored to the shared memory to be accessed by the central processing unit. Central processing unit processing of non-supported application framework instructions is continued during hardware accelerator execution of hardware object management system requests.

Title: Method and system for encoding data in the horizontal overscan portion of a video signal
Inventor: DEL CASTILLO LEONARDO
IPC: H04N7/081
Filed: 1998-06-29
Abstract: A method and system for encoding control data into the horizontal overscan area of a video signal. Because the control data is concatenated with the video signal on a line-by-line basis, the control data is temporarily synchronized with the underlying video signal. This permits the controlled devices, such as wireless mechanical characters, behave as characters in a scene defined by the programming information of the video signal. A protocol is defined for the encoded data that is addressable, forwardly compatible, error tolerant, and feasible to deploy in connection with a system that is primarily intended to be a children's entertainment product. The bandwidth of the communication link defined by the encoded data is adjustable to meet the cost and performance needs of a wide variety of consumers. Sufficient bandwidth is available to control several devices and to provide additional advertising, subscription, or emergency warning services, such as e-mail, foreign language subtitling, intercom capability, telephone pages, weather warnings, configuration data for a set-top box, and so forth.

The center lock (40) has a handle below the cross members (62, 64) and off to the side of the cross members (62, 64) to prevent pinching of operators' hands and fingers. The folding linkage (30) folds from a use position wherein stage decks (24) are horizontal to form a stage surface to a storage position wherein the bottom of the stage decks (24) oppose one another. In the fully folded position, stage support legs (28) are angled inward slightly. Casters (90) mount at an oblique angle to the telescoping legs (28) and are moved closer to the telescoping legs (28) to decrease the moment of inertia about the legs (28) while maintaining sufficient contact with the floor. Torsion bars (78) mount at the pivoting access of the frame (22) and the telescoping legs (28) to control folding speed. The folding portions of the frame (22) and decks (24) have a center of gravity which is aligned with the pivoting access to decrease the moment of inertia about the pivoting axis.
