Title: Method for preventing sea water cells from being destroyed by biofouling
Inventor: HASVOLD OISTEIN
IPC: H01M6/50
Filed: 1991-09-16
Abstract: This invention relates to a method and means for preventing or greatly reducing biological growth on the cathode (7, 11) of a sea water cell (1) which is based on electrolytic reaction between oxygen, water and a metal anode (6, 10), and which is arranged to be connected to a load (3, 15) through a DC/DC converter (2, 14). An external power supply (5, 16) which may be powered from the load (3, 15), is at intervals connected to an electrode of copper (or copper alloy) (8, 12) included with the cell structure, to electrolytically dissolve copper. The negative terminal (18) of the power supply (16) may at intervals be connected to an auxiliary electrode (13) of a suitable metal or metal alloy such as copper, titanium or stainless steel. The interconnection of the power supply (5, 16) to the electrode (8, 12), and possibly to the auxiliary electrode (13) is controlled by a timing device (4, 17). At intervals, the same or a separate timing device (4, 17) may turn-off/switch-on the DC/DC converter (2, 14).

Patent CA-2095366-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COLLINS TIMOTHY C
IPC: A61B6/00
Filed: 1993-05-03
Abstract: A solid state x-ray detector which is a two-dimensional array of individual pixel elements is described. The hybrid semiconductor construction produces detector elements with high spatial resolution (< 30 microns), high sensitivity to the entire x-ray spectrum, and frame rates greater than 1000 Hz. In a biomedical application these arrays provide high quality real time distal radiographic images that are directly coupled to an image processing system for image enhancement and computer sided diagnosis. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the hybrid construction incorporated into an automated manufacturing process facilitates the real time, nondestructive, x-ray examination of manufactured objects during the production process. Structural defects in inorganic objects under test are identified in real time during the manufacturing process are corrected when feedback signals are generated from the electronic image data generated during the nondestructive test process.

Title: Paging system using extension tables
Inventor: CALDARALE CHARLES R
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1991-12-16
Abstract: A method of resolving conflicts when the index values of different binary bit designators are found to be equal is provided which is implementable in a virtual memory to real memory address translation scheme and alternately in a data base environment.       Binary bit designators are used; each of which consists of a first compare segment, a second index segment and a third off-set segment. When two indexes are found to be identical, similar groups of bits in the first segment are considered as subsidiary indexes and are utilized in sequence until all of the bits of said first segments have been used. Each time an index operation occurs a new table entry in a new table is identified, until a group of bits from the first segments of the different binary bit designators are found to be unequal. When this occurs, comparisons of the final table entries in the final table are undertaken to determine if each stored value in each final table entry is equal to the value represented by the associated first segment.

Title: Method, mould, device and apparatus for processing roundfish
Inventor: FREDSBY BENT E
IPC: A22C25/18
Filed: 1992-08-21
Abstract: Frozen roundfish, such as codlike white fish, salmon or trout, having a substantially straight shape is longitudinally split centrally of the fish so that the main portion of the vertebral column is removed, and each of the frozen fish halves are subsequently cleaned and searched for impurities, following which the still frozen fish pieces are portion-packed and freeze-stored. With the view of positioning the fish during the splitting it may be frozen in a faceted shape or with raised fins. When the whole, frozen fish body has been positioned with its vertical plane of symmetry in a well-known position, the fish may be securely held by means of fixing means (59) having a part (68) consisting of a fluidum absorbing and flexible material that may be locked in abutment on the exterior of the frozen fish and freeze firmly thereto. The grip of the fixing means in the fish is so strong that it will not be broken by the splitting of the fish.

IPC: B66C13/50
Filed: 1994-03-17
Abstract: Disclosed is a crane hoist system having a hoist drum (33), a drum drive motor (37) and control and power circuit limit switches (47, 49).  The improvement involves a first trip bar (75) coupled to the power circuit limit switch (49) and a second trip bar (57) coupled to the control circuit limit switch (47).  The bars (75, 57) are vertically aligned and both are pivot mounted at their corresponding ends (79, 87).  The second trip bar (57) is mounted for movement independently of the first trip bar (75).

Abstract: AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MOUNT                 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE      A connector for an air bag module or assembly which removably mounts the module to a mounting plate provided by a  steering wheel  or  other  support  structure.    A  first embodiment of the connector movably mounts the module to the steering wheel, and provides a horn actuation feature.  The module is biased to a normal position wherein a first horn switch contact provided by the steering wheel is spaced from a second horn switch contact provided by the module.  The bias is overcome by user-applied force which moves the module inwardly relative to the steering wheel and thereby brings the first and second contacts into engagement and actuates the horn.  The connectors of the first embodiment include first and second telescopingly related members and a biasing spring which tends to maintain the second member projecting from the first member.  The second member includes a series of spaced-apart  resilient  arms  which  cooperate  to  provide  a discontinuous annular or circumferential groove which receives a mounting plate provided by the steering wheel.  The arms are radially deformable to disconnect the module from the steering wheel.  A second embodiment of the connector rigidly attaches the module to a mounting plate.  The connector of the second embodiment is press-fit into a base plate of the module, and includes  an enlarged  head  and  a  series  of  resiliently deformable arms.  The head limits insertion of the connector into the base plate and the arms include a distal retaining portion and a proximal mounting portion.   The retaining portion releasably attaches the connector to the mounting plate while the mounting portion receives the base plate and the mounting plate. An interference fit between the retaining portion and the base plate maintains the connector within the module.
