Patent CA-2505168-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHARRAS FLORENT
IPC: F16L37/098
Filed: 2003-10-23
Abstract: Disclosed is a joining element that is part of a fast connecting unit for hydraulic or pneumatic connecting conduits and comprises a tubular basic member (1), onto which two diametrically opposed, laterally spaced-apart two-legged snapping elements (5) are formed. Said snapping elements (5) are connected to the outer wall of the basic member (1) at the swaying point thereof while the free ends of the forward-facing legs thereof are provided with inward-directed hooks (11) which can grip from behind a catching element (12) located on the outer wall of a counterpart (4) of the fast connecting unit when the connection is established. The rearward-facing legs of the snapping elements (5) are embodied as spring-type legs (13), the free ends of which are bent back in an inward direction such that a gap (a) remains between said ends and a respective opposite contact area. Said gap (a) limits the swaying movement of the spring-type legs (13) towards the basic member (1) to an extent that corresponds to the movement of expansion of the front legs of the snapping elements (5), which is required to disengage said hooks (11) from the catching element (12) of the counterpart (4), said front legs supporting the hooks (11). In addition, the restoring force of the snapping elements (5) is improved and the connection is secured against being accidentally released if the end of the spring-type legs (13) is bent so as to form a loop (14).
Patent CA-2505890-A1 (CA)
Title: Multi-modulation remote control communication system
Inventor: DERY NORMAND
IPC: H03C7/00
Filed: 2005-04-29
Abstract: An AM/FM modulation scheme is presented for optimizing communications between a remote control device held by a user and a receiving unit installed in a vehicle. Historically, these systems communicated with amplitude modulated signals having good range but poor immunity to ambient random radio frequency noise.  Frequency modulated systems provide improved immunity to noise however at the expense of range. The object of this invention is to use two or more modulation modes to combine their advantages. A scheme has been devised whereby circuitry capable of alternately operating in at least two modes is used. The same information is therefore transmitted using two or more modulation techniques in succession. The receiving unit also has circuitry and has listening cycles ensuring eventual synchronization with the transmitting unit. If one mode fails due to distance or ambient noise, the other can then attempt to establish a link.

Title: Ballast with arc protection circuit
Inventor: KONOPKA JOHN G
IPC: H05B41/02
Filed: 2005-12-16
Abstract: A ballast (20) for powering a gas discharge lamp (70) comprises an inverter (200) and an arc protection circuit (600). Arc protection circuit (600) monitors an electrical signal within the ballast. In response to occurrence of a disturbance in the signal, such as what occurs during output arcing, arc protection circuit (600) disables the inverter (200) for a timed shutdown period. Arc protection circuit (600) provides a timed starting period for igniting the lamp, during which time any disturbance in the electrical signal is essentially ignored and inverter (200) is allowed to continue to operate. Arc protection circuit (600) also provides a restart function for periodically attempting to ignite and operate the lamp. Arc protection circuit (600) is preferably realized using a timer integrated circuit (U1) with associated discrete circuitry, and may be adapted for use with ballasts having self oscillating or driven type inverters.

Title: Controlling collection of debugging data
Inventor: PHIPPS DARCY
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2006-06-06
Abstract: By altering existing code to wrap debugging items with runtime conditional statements, the debugging items may remain in commercial builds of code. Execution of a given conditional statement, wrapping a particular debugging item, may require a read of a particular location in an expandable and organized table such that execution of the particular debugging item is dependent on the value stored in the particular location in the table. By storing appropriate values in the table, a very focused debugging operation may be carried out. When implemented on a mobile communication device, such a focused debugging operation may be considered to conserve limited memory resources and reduce radio costs when compared to an unfocused debugging operation, which can create a large log file that is difficult to store and expensive to transmit.
Patent CA-2552022-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NEUENDORFF CONNOR C N
IPC: B62B13/16
Filed: 2006-07-07
Abstract: This invention is a sled and a transportation device. It is used to carry skis and other ski equipment such as helmets, poles, gloves and so on. One of the main components of this invention is the collapsible sections. These 4 sections can be folded up together by using four very small locks. When the sled is extended fully then you slide one of the locks on one end of the sled over. This causes it to hit another and then that one hits another sort of like a chain reaction. Once all the locks have been hit, the steel bars that are attached to the locks inside the sled will be in between sections.  This will make it difficult to move the other section. To unlock and collapse just slide the lock at the opposite end and fold the sled.  Another main component is the lift. The lift is a thin piece of plastic that is slightly inside the sled. All you have to do is lift the plastic from the sled and there is a support bar right in front of that.  Slide the support into the clips under the support to keep it solid.  The support and lift are very low off the sled. Once the lift is out and secured you may then take any skis or poles and place it one the lift. The will be a Velcro strap and simply just place it through the binding and strap onto other side. The other main component is on the first section of the sled there are little key rings all over.  Once all your helmets and gloves and other gear are in place simply lift the key rings and hook the bungee cord to them.
