Patent CA-2219539-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LOESCH KURT
IPC: G02B6/13
Filed: 1997-11-18
Abstract: It is known to expose a photosensitive waveguide core to an optical interference pattern which is produced using a phase mask. Precise positioning of the phase mask above the optical waveguide is difficult if several Bragg gratings are to be produced in a confined space. The invention solves the problem of how to produce virtually arbitrarily defined refractive-index gratings in a core of an optical waveguide with high precision without the use of phase masks. To accomplish this, a buffer layer of the optical waveguide, preferably the cladding layer (CLA), is patterned in such a way that UV laser light directed to the waveguide forms an optical interference pattern in the core (COR), thereby imprinting a Bragg grating. The pattern (GST) in the buffer layer is preferably formed by etching.           (Fig. 1)

Abstract: The present invention is a word forming game which has a letter selection based on words used commonly in conversation. The word game of the present invention may include: one six-sided die; a game board having four player areas, each area numbered one through six to correspond to the numbers on the die; thirty-one letter tiles imprinted with commonly used letters on both sides of the tile; and a score card. According to a method of playing the game of a preferred embodiment, four players place letter tiles next to each number located in the player areas. By rolls of the die, each player selects four of the letters and attempts to form a word. Each player is given preferably eight rounds in which to form words. At the end of the game, the player may receive a bonus score for forming a sentence from the words formed during the game. Generally, each letter used to form a word counts one point. The scorecard is used to record the letters, words and the points. The player at the end of eight rounds with the highest points is the winner.

Abstract: In a sheet ejection and stacking system, such as for a document handler output, in which an upper sheet feeding and ejection unit with a sheet ejection path is repositionable between an open and a closed position relative to a lower sheet stacking unit which is providing a sheet stacking tray for the ejected sheets, here a platen cover unit. The sheet stacking tray has an automatically adjusting sheet stacking registration edge wall defining system which is automatically maintained closely adjacent to the sheet ejection position of the upper unit. This system is defined by upstanding stack retaining wall members movably mounted to the sheet stacking tray and a plurality of aligning post members integral the upper unit which automatically engage and move the stack retaining members into alignment with the upper unit, into a proper sheet receiving position therewith, when the upper unit is closed Yet, the retaining members retain the ejected sheets substantially in their desired stacking position when the upper unit is opened. The aligning post members overlap and mate within the stack retaining members in the closed position to fully block movement of ejected sheets into or under the upper unit. Considerable mounting or other misalignment tolerances are automatically compensated for between the two units with this system.

Title: Incline conveyor
Inventor: KYRSTEIN JOHN
IPC: B65G29/02
Filed: 1998-06-03
Abstract: An incline conveyor for use in transporting logs from a first elevation to a second elevation in a sawmill. The conveyor includes a support frame and a plurality of rotatable shafts mounted on the support frame at spaced-apart positions between the first and second elevations.      Log lifters having at least one log receiving portion are mounted on the rotatable shafts. Each of the shafts is driven by a separate motor mounted on the support frame. The lifters mounted on the shafts may thus be rotated at variable speeds to ensure that logs are discharged from the conveyor at a constant rate (thereby avoiding gaps between successive logs on the discharge conveyor belt). The motors are actuated and controlled by position sensors which detect the position of the logs between the first and second elevations.

Title: Method and apparatus for intraosseous infusion or aspiration
Inventor: JOHNSON DAVID L
IPC: A61B17/34
Filed: 1996-12-23
Abstract: An apparatus comprising three main assemblies, an applicator, an infu-sion/aspiration tube with a subcutaneous bone penetration means, and a strain relief protector. The apparatus enables a user in field or emergency environments to quickly, safely and reliably place an infusion/aspiration device in a patient's bone, regardless of the thickness of skin and tissue over the bone, and to ensure it will remain in place throughout other emergency procedures and severe environmental conditions. The infusion/aspiration apparatus incorporates a bone stop to ensure precise location off the bone penetration means at the intended marrow depth in the patient's bone. A method of intraosseous infusion or aspiration has a first step of locating the appro-priate site on a suitable bone, a second step of inserting a bone penetration means device through the skin using an applicator, a third step of placing a fluid delivery port at a precise depth by mechanical location means which use the surface of the target bone as a reference point, a fourth step of removing the applicator, an optional fifth step of installing a strain relief protector, and a final step of attaching a source of fluids for infusion or of suction for aspiration.

Title: Ensemble multicouche de circuits imprimes et procede de fabrication correspondant
Inventor: POMMER RICHARD J
IPC: H05K3/34
Filed: 1997-01-03
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un ensemble de circuits imprimés et au procédé de fabrication dudit ensemble. Selon une réalisation, ledit ensemble fait usage d'une couche adhésive comportant une pluralité de "particules étalon" non conductrices disposées au sein d'un adhésif non conducteur. Lorsque la couche adhésive est disposée entre des couches de circuits imprimés opposées (qu'il s'agisse de substrats isolants, de couches conductrices ou autres couches), des particules étalon individuelles (44, 174) sont intercalées ou prises en sandwich, en différents points, entre lesdites couches, de telle sorte que les diamètres des particules commandent la séparation des couches à travers l'ensemble des zones de recouvrement, ceci permettant un contrôle précis de la séparation desdites couches. L'invention se rapporte également à une autre réalisation dudit ensemble de circuits imprimés et de son procédé de fabrication, dans laquelle on utilise une technique d'interconnexion des couches intermédiaires faisant usage de montants conducteurs qui sont déposés sur l'une de deux plages de contact formées sur les plaquettes de circuits imprimés opposées puis soudés à l'autre plage de contact de la paire au cours de la lamellisation. On peut utiliser une matière fusible dans les montants conducteurs (208, 209) pour faciliter la soudure mécanique à une plage de contact, les montants faisant saillie à travers une couche diélectrique disposée entre les plaquettes de circuits imprimés et constituant de cette manière les connexions électriques entre les plaquettes en des emplacements discrets.

Title: Method for controlling modem
Inventor: NOMA NOBUHIKO
IPC: H04L5/14
Filed: 1997-12-16
Abstract: When a MODEM controller detects that the receiving level of probing signals or tone signals having a specific frequency in the phase 2 of a precommunication procedure is lower than a prescribed value, the controller lowers the transmission speed of a control channel to a lower speed of 1,200 bps. When the controller lowers the transmission speed, the controller sets the transmission speed to 1,200 bps by using a prescribed bit in an MPh signal in a communication control procedure and, at the same time, executes communication at the lowered transmission speed by setting such a condition that the communication with the communication equipment on the remote side at a different transmission speed is not permitted by using another bit of the MPh signal and informing the communication equipment on the remote side of the set condition.
