Patent CA-2354645-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SPARGUR JACK
IPC: B29C44/44
Filed: 2001-08-02
Abstract: A three dimensional expanded polystyrene building panel has at least its building-contacting face formed with a sealed, sealed water-resistant skin to retard moisture encroachment, thereby providing an improved surface for faster water drainage, and one that becomes dry quickly after becoming wet. The insulated building panel is preferably formed with a regular pattern of protrusions or islands which extend from a building-contacting surface or face of the panel. The protrusions are oriented so that walls of the protrusions, which extend perpendicular to the face, form a surface other than a horizontal shelf when the panel is in an installed orientation contacting the building. The protrusions can have various shapes, such as a quadrilateral (e.g., diamond) shape, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or a triangular shape, for example.

Abstract: An optical distribution network system includes an OLT; a plurality of ONUs; a first optical network and a second optical network, one of which connects the OLT with the plurality of ONUs; and a bandwidth controller. The bandwidth controller apportions the plurality of ONUs between the first optical network and the second optical network, assigns a predetermined transmission bandwidth to each of the plurality of ONUs, and accepts a bandwidth change of the transmission bandwidth. It solves a problem of a conventional optical distribution network system in that the maximum bandwidth available by DBA (dynamic bandwidth assignment) is equal to the total transmission bandwidth of working side minus the sum total of the minimum cell rates of the ONUs, and hence it cannot secure a large usable bandwidth for DBA, when congestion of bandwidth increase takes place among the plurality of ONUs.

Title: Ball track
Inventor: BRAUN WILFRIED
IPC: A63F7/36
Filed: 1999-12-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a game which is provided in the form of a ball track and which is comprised of individual components having roller rails. The roller rails have a guide for balls that roll and have at least one through boring for leading into a connecting element arranged below said through boring. The connecting element has a ball passageway which is essentially vertical and/or which is distinctly slanted with regard to the horizontal. In order to provide a ball track which can be variably composed of few different elements (roller rails and connecting elements), whereby a high degree of stability should be attained also in high structures, roller rails and connecting elements can be assembled side by side or one above the other to produce a ball path which leads away over more than one component, whereby the ball path horizontally extends at least on a section of the rolling rail.

Title: Loop restoration scheme for distribution feeders
Inventor: SMITH ROBERT A
IPC: H02H7/26
Filed: 2001-12-20
Abstract: A system and methods that enable a restoration scheme for power distribution systems that is independent of power distribution system component configuration, the number of power distribution system components, and component settings are provided. In a power distribution system, a number of intelligent reclosers having restoration control modules are deployed that execute a restoration scheme. The intelligent reclosers constantly poll cooperating power distribution lines to determine changes in current or voltage provided by the power distribution lines. In the event of a power distribution system fault, the reclosers act in accordance to a predefined restoration scheme to reanimate the unaffected portions of the failing power distribution system.

Inventor: SCHULTE PETER S
IPC: E05F15/00
Filed: 2000-03-09
Abstract: An impact sensing system for a powered roll-up door combines an electrical switch and a breakaway coupling. To avoid damage or injury resulting from the door's roll-up curtain accidentally closing upon an obstacle or something striking the curtain, the breakaway coupling responds to such a collision by breaking away, which releases a lower portion of the curtain from between its two vertical guide tracks.      Each breakaway coupling includes a set of electrical contacts that make or break in response to the coupling breaking away. When the curtain's lower portion becomes effectively derailed from its guide track, the electrical contacts disable continued operation of the door to prevent the door's drive motor from jamming the curtain.      In some embodiments, the breakaway coupling is releasably held together by way of magnetic attraction between two coupling segments, with one electrical contact on each segment to comprise one set of functional contacts.

Abstract: A refractive intraocular lens (32) including an optic portion (34) having an outer peripheral (36) edge and two opposed looped haptic elements (38). Each looped haptic element (38) is formed to have two broad connecting portions (40), two radial orientation portions (42), two spring portions (44) and a linking portion (46) for supporting the optic portion (34) in a patient's eye (10).

Each looped haptic element (38) is likewise formed to have greater resistance to bending in a plane generally parallel to an eye's optical axis than in a plane generally perpendicular to the eye's optical axis. The intraocular lens (32) is so designed to exhibit less than approximately 1.0 mm axial displacement or tilting of the optic portion (34) along the eye's optical axis under a compression force suitable to effect a 1.0 mm in diameter compression in overall length of the intraocular lens (32).

Abstract: A steering assembly is provided for steering a pair of vehicle wheels. The assembly includes a tie rod assembly having first and second tie rods. Each of the tie rods has an inboard end and an outboard end. The inboard ends may be coupled to the output member of a steering gear or they may be supported on a movable support member. The outboard ends are coupled to the vehicle wheels and, in particular, to tie rod arms extending from steering knuckles. The inboard ends of the tie rode are positioned forward of the outboard ends of the tie rods relative to the forward direction of vehicle travel when the vehicle wheels are facing forward. As a result, the effective length of the tie rod assembly increases as the turn angle of the vehicle wheels increases thereby reducing toe out of the vehicle wheels and tire wear and allowing sufficient clearance with wheel and brake components including brake drums found in conventional drum brake systems.

Abstract: An analog signal amplifying method, an amplifier to output a first pulse of high level by comparing an input signal with a first sawtooth-wave having an amplitude greater than that of the input signal and determining that the first sawtooth-wave is greater than the input signal; to output a narrower second pulse of one short type at every starting point of the high region of the first pulse; to continuously extract an output voltage by corresponding the second sawtooth-wave having a period identical to that of the first sawtooth-wave with a high point of the second pulse and sampling the second sawtooth-wave voltage positions at the corresponded parts; to change the extracted voltage to a condenser by a high speed switch to maintain it constant; and to eliminate a valley of a waveform, thereby performing a convenient filtering process, whereby the invention can obtain good linearity of the first sawtooth-wave very easily, with neither restrictions to an input voltage range nor use of a negative feedback, to thereby basically solve the distortion problem caused by the time delay, easily perform a filtration without any deformations in the waveform due to a lower rate of a high frequency containing component that results in little distortion.  And the digital signal is directly connected to the amplifier of the invention without a D/A conversion unit in the contemporary digital reviving device (for instance, CDP), so that it is realized to effectively reproduce signals without any deformation in shape and it is relatively possible to further simplify the structure of the circuit.
