Patent CA-2342413-A1 (CA)
Title: A method of isolating an electrical fault
Inventor: MONTGOMERY HARVEY J
IPC: G01R31/00
Filed: 1997-04-01
Abstract: In a FLIR/laser based targeting and imaging system, the ability to recognize, detect, locate, and/or track targets in an area of interest is significantly improved by reducing the fixed and dynamic alignment errors between the IR LOS and the laser LOS. Fixed alignment errors are reduced with an improved internal boresight module and corresponding boresight method. Dynamic alignment errors are reduced with an opto-electric subsystem that employs a single pitch bearing and a common pitch/yaw afocal for both the laser energy and the IR energy. A segmented window in the system housing includes a circular EMI grid pattern which significantly reduces the amount of off-axis EMI entering the optical pathways, and improved signal processing techniques are employed to enhance the quality of the IR image after the image has been digitized.

Title: Trim articles with light stable covering containing invisible tear seam, and process of making the same
Inventor: GARDNER JOHN A JR
IPC: B60R21/2165
Filed: 1999-09-13
Abstract: A panel structure is mountable in a vehicle to form a part of the interior thereof in concealing relation to a secondary restraint system. The novel panel structure of this invention includes a layered composite structure and a reinforcing substrate having a door structure movable through the layered composite structure upon the operation of the secondary restraint system. The layered composite structure includes an outer layer and an inner layer adhered to the outer layer, the inner layer including a seam-defining structure. In one embodiment, the seam-defining structure is a narrow elongated structure configured to define an exteriorly invisible tear seam generally corresponding with portions of an outline of the door structure, and the inner layer has a reduced thickness portion along the exteriorly invisible tear seam by virtue of the presence of the narrow elongated structure. In another embodiment, the seam-defining structure is a sheet structure severed to define an exteriorly invisible tear seam generally conforming to an outline of the movable door structure. The invisible tear seam defined by the narrow elongated structure or the severed sheet structure causes the layered composite structure to fracture generally along the invisible tear seam in response to the movement of the door structure through the layered composite structure during the operation of the secondary restraint system.

Title: Lock for knock-down storage rack
Inventor: MAY TREVOR
IPC: A47B57/50
Filed: 2001-04-20
Abstract: The lock is attached to a connector for interconnecting a shelf-supporting beam to an upright of a knock-down storage rack. The lock includes a pin which is connected to the connector and which is slidable between locking and unlocking positions. The pin, when in the locking position, is within one of a number of openings formed in the upright with resulting locking of the upright to the connector. When the pin is in the unlocking position, it is outside the opening thus allowing the upright to be separated from the connector. The lock includes a resilient rod which is biased into a groove formed in the shank of the pin when the pin is in the locking position. The rod prevents the pin from moving from the locking position unless a force, opposed to the bias of the rod, is applied to the pin to cause the rod to withdraw from the groove.

Abstract: A tool cartridge for seating and cutting a communication wire in a terminal block. The cartridge includes a tool end and a base end. A wire seating blade and a wire cutting blade extend outwardly from the cartridge and are mounted for longitudinal movement relative to the cartridge and to each other. A spring bias detent assembly forces the wire seating and wire cutting blades into contact with each other for longitudinal movement together relative to the cartridge. A compression spring resists longitudinal movement of the wire seating and wire cutting blades in the direction of the base of the cartridge by seating pressure applied to the cartridge. A cam is positioned to release the detest assembly thereby disengag-ing the wire seating and wire cutting blades from movement together after a predetermined compression of the compression spring. The release of the blades from movement together permitting the compression spring to drive the cutting blade to its cutting position to cut the wire.

Inventor: CARISELLA JAMES V
IPC: E21B33/127
Filed: 2000-04-04
Abstract: A thermal compensating apparatus (52) and method for maintaining a substantially constant fluid pressure within a subterranean well tool of the type that includes a bladder that is selectively expandable upon the introduction of pressurized actuation fluid for actuating said tool at a location in a well. A multi-stage piston (80, 84, 86) is movable in a housing. The piston includes a first surface (80') in contact with the actuating fluid and a plurality of second surfaces (80", 84", 86") in contact with well fluid surrounding the apparatus. The combined surface areas of the second surfaces are greater than the surface area of the first surface, so that expansion or contraction changes in the volume of the actuating fluid caused by temperature changes in the vicinity of the tool will result in movement of the piston for maintaining the actuating fluid at a relatively constant pressure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for reading dispatch addresses with postcodes which identify the addresses up to part of a larger street or a few small streets, in the case of non-unambiguous read results of the OCR unit. If the street read by an OCR unit does not correspond to the street(s) or street region derived from the video-coded postcode which the sender specified incorrectly, the following steps are carried out: - inputting of one or two extraction codes which identify the distribution point, - performance of additional reading processes in the OCR unit with that part of the postcode which identifies the streets/street part and is shortened by one position and with the AKS codes and, in the case of non-unambiguous read results: - performance of further reading processes in the OCR unit with that part of the postcode which identifies the streets/street part and is additionally shortened by a further position and with the AKS codes, the additional position-shortening and the reading processes being performed until the read result is unambiguous or only a few candidates remain, the correct one of which is selected by means of selection coding.

Title: Structure for mounting snowboard bindings
Inventor: KASAI HAJIME
IPC: A63C10/14
Filed: 2002-02-18
Abstract: To provide a structure for mounting snowboard bindings for turning a snowboard in the direction in which a rider intends to go without limiting flex, and for increasing the riding performance of the snowboard, the structure for mounting bindings comprises outer fixing sections having highly rigid supporting bars and highly rigid mounting bars, and inner fixing sections having highly flexible soft mounting parts. Since the outer fixing sections are provided so as to cross the snowboard and almost reach the edges of the snowboard, shifting the direction of the weight of the rider is directly transmitted to the edges, and as a result, high riding performance can be achieved, In addition, because the shapes of the soft mounting parts vary according to the direction of the weight of the rider during riding, the snowboard can be fully bent and can be turned in the direction in which a rider intends to go.
