Title: High security lock apparatus
Inventor: STARK ROBERT WILLIAM
IPC: E05C9/06
Filed: 1997-08-15
Abstract: A high security lock apparatus comprises a deadbolt lock (70) having a lock body (71) and a deadbolt (73) extendible therefrom. A lock body support (67) cooperates with the lock body (71) to permit relative movement therebetween and has a deadbolt clearance opening (81) therein to receive the deadbolt (73) when aligned therewith. A doorbolt is operatively connected to the lock body support (67) and mounted for movement with respect to a complementary doorbolt stop in response to said relative movement. A tool receiver (77) cooperates with the lock body support (67) and receives an alignment tool (101) to generate the said movement to align the deadbolt (73) with the deadbolt clearance opening (81) prior to extending the deadbolt (73). Preferably, the lock body (71) is journalled for rotation relative to the lock body support (67). The lock body support (67) preferably has an actuating arm (21, 22) extending therefrom and a doorbolt link extends from the actuating arm (21, 22) to the doorbolt to operatively connect them together to actuate the doorbolt. In this way, strength of the doorbolt itself does not effect overall strength of the high security lock apparatus.

Patent CA-2490461-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MORTON DAVID L
IPC: B65B11/04
Filed: 2004-12-14
Abstract: An applicator apparatus is provided which applies a protective cover to a product such as a stack of flat sheets of building material. A platform supports the product in a predetermined orientation. Adjacent the platform is a frame which supports a cover manipulator. The cover manipulator is mounted on a transport on the frame and operates to grasp a protective cover from a cover magazine. The transport mechanism is operable to move the cover manipulator from a position adjacent the cover magazine to a second position adjacent the platform. The applicator then presses the cover against the product in a predetermined orientation and a fastening mechanism secures the cover to the product. Typically, the cover is a flat sheet of cardboard or similar protective material. The material has scored or relieved portions which permit its top and ends to be folded over the end of the product to which it is applied. The material may then be rotated on a platform adjacent the frame so that another cover can be applied to the opposite end.
Patent CA-2493715-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FITZGIBBON JAMES J
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2003-08-14
Abstract: A rolling code transmitter (Fig. 2) is useful in a security system (Fig. 1) for providing secure encrypted RF transmission comprising an interleaved trinary bit fixed code and rolling code (Fig. 6). To provide even greater security, the transmitter (Fig. 2) is limited in the number of times it may perform a resynchronization procedure. A receiver (Fig. 3) demodulates the encrypted RF transmission and recovers the fixed code and rolling code. Upon comparison of the fixed and rolling codes with stored codes and determining that the signal has emanated from an authorized transmitter (Fig. 7A, 7B, an d 7C) , a signal is generated to actuate an electric motor to open or close a movable barrier.

Abstract: A heating cable for use and for example a heating blanket. The heating cable comprises first (1) and second conductors (5) which extend along the length of the cable and which are separated by a separation layer (4). The conductors and separation layer may be coaxial. The first and second conductors are connected at one end of the cable in series such that if the first and second conductors are connected at the other end of the cable to respective poles of a power supply equal currents flow in opposite directions through adjacent portions of the conductors. This substantially eliminates electromagnetic radiation being emitted from the cable. The first conductor has a positive temperature characteristic and the separation layer has either a negative temperature characteristic or melts at a predetermined threshold temperature.  The power supplied to the cable may be modulated in response to variations in the end to end resistance of the positive temperature co-efficient conductor.  The power supplied to the cable may be terminated in the event of current flowing through the separation layer exceeding a predetermined threshold.
