Patent CA-2410202-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SUDERMAN JIM
IPC: E06B3/48
Filed: 2002-10-30
Abstract: An overhead bi-fold door is provided having an upper section and a lower section which are hinged for movement relative to one another between a closed flat position and an open folded position. Each section includes side beams and a frame spanning the side beams which is recessed in relation to an outer surface of the side beams. Sheeted insulation is received within the recess on an outer side of the door so that cladding may be supported across an outer side of both the sheeted insulation and the side beams. The sheeted insulation being supported on an outer side of the frames provides an uninterrupted layer of insulation of constant thickness to prevent thermal leakage which otherwise occurs when insulation would normally be supported on an inner side of the frame in sections mounted between the frame members.

Abstract: A digital vibration transducer for producing a digital signal representative  of a vibration of a vibrating member is provided. The transducer includes a laser source (12) producing a light beam (20) that is focused on a detection  area. The light beam is reflected towards this detection area by a reflector  (10), at an angle with the optical axis of the light beam and pivotable abou t a pivot axis. A linkage assembly (16,17) connects the vibrating member (50) to the reflector to convert the vibrating of the vibration member into a pivoti ng of the reflector, thereby sweeping the reflected light beam across the detection area. A sensing and encoding assembly (18,19) is provided in the detection area and produces the digital signal representative of the vibrati on of the vibrating member relatively to the sweeping of the light beam.</SDOAB >

Title: Vehicular mirror with reduced-force pivoting mechanism
Inventor: RUSE JAMES ANDREW
IPC: B60R1/06
Filed: 2003-04-22
Abstract: A motorized pivoting and extending mechanism for a vehicular mirror assembly includes, alternatively, a force-reduction mechanism for reducing the friction within the mechanism, and a slip clutch mechanism for reducing overloading of the motor when the limits of mirror extension and retraction have been reached. Mirror power functions receive electrical power and control signals through a circular array of electrical contacts incorporated into the pivot connection irrespective of the pivotal orientation of the mirror. A motor shut-off circuit is able to shut off the motor within a predetermined period of time. The mirror can be angularly adjusted upon movement of the mirror between the retracted and the extended positions to maintain a common field of view for a driver of the vehicle to prevent the extension and/or retraction of the mirror from undesirably repositioning the field of view captured by the mirror.

Abstract: A new and efficient synthesis of the (+)-pancratistatin phosphate prodrug 2a has been accomplished. Selective protection (tetraacetate 4) of (+)-pancratistatin (1a) was followed by phosphorylation (to 5) with dibenzyl chlorophosphite (prepared in situ from dibenzyl phosphite). Cleavage of the acetate (with sodium methoxide) and benzyl (by hydrogenolysis) protecting groups followed by concomitant reaction with two equivalents of sodium methoxide afforded good yield of disodium (+)-pancratistatin phosphate (2a).  Further increases in yields of the prodrug (2a) were realized by avoiding heat in the final purification steps. Fourteen (2b-o) additional metal and ammonium derived phosphate prodrugs were also synthesized.
