Patent CA-2070311-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JOHNSON BRYAN L
IPC: A01K93/02
Filed: 1992-06-03
Abstract: The present invention provides a fishing apparatus of a type that secures to a fishing line having a remote end.  A float member is slideably secured relative to the fishing line, and a depth signaling means is operatively connected to the float member.  A stopping means is operatively connected to the fishing line at a predetermined distance from the remote end to prevent the float member from sliding beyond the predetermined distance from the remote end of the fishing line.  Thus, the stopping means effectively establishes a maximum depth to which the remote end may descend when the float member is afloat.  The depth signaling means signals when the float member has slid the predetermined distance from the remote end of the fishing line, and hence, when the remote end has descended to the predetermined maximum depth.

Filed: 1991-01-10
Abstract: An apparatus for cooling an internal combustion engine (10) has a coolant jacket (22) surrounding the cylinder walls (14) and the combustion chamber domes (27). A substantially anhydrous, boilable liquid coolant, having a saturation temperature higher than that of water, is pumped through the coolant chamber (31) in the coolant jacket (22) to cool the metal surfaces of the engine. A radiator (54) is coupled with a pump (42) to the coolant chamber (31) to reduce the temperature of the coolant. A vent line (74) is coupled on one end (72) to the coolant chamber (31) and coupled on the other end (76) to an expansion tank (78). A U-shaped section of the vent line (74) extends above the highest level of coolant in the system. The expansion tank (78) is provided to receive gases, vapor, and/or expanded coolant from the coolant chamber (31).

Title: Pipeline inspection vehicle
Inventor: WATSON KENNETH
IPC: G01N27/83
Filed: 1992-07-17
Abstract: A pipeline inspection vehicle comprises a body 18, an eletromagnet 20 for generating magnetic flux, and two foil packs 24, 26 for conducting the flux into and out of the pipewall 10. An array of defect sensors is arranged around the body 18, each sensor being mounted on d respective assembly 28. Each assembly 28 comprises a steel sledge 40 which runs along the pipewall and which is secured to a sensor housing 42. A length of belting 44 is sandwiched between the two and end portions form a leading member 46 and a trailing member 48 linking the sledge to the vehicle. Each assembly 28 is positioned against a spring 64 which is also positioned against the vehicle. The assembly collapses out of the way when the vehicle traverses a sharp bend and the foil pack 24 is deflected to the right. The two members 46 and 48 both counteract the force of the spring 64 when the sledge crosses a void in the pipewall. However, only the leading member 46 is effective during normal running of the sledge along the pipewall to transfer the motion of the vehicle to the sledge.

Patent CA-2079479-A1 (CA)
Title: Security device for ring network
Inventor: SONI DIPAK M
IPC: H04L12/22
Filed: 1992-03-30
Abstract: A ring data network (such as a token ring network) is divided by a security unit (1) into first and second segments (6 and 8). The second segment (8) typically corresponds to one security group in the network. Logic in the security unit reads appropriate parts of each frame (typically the two address segments) to determine whether it is appropriate to forward the frame to the next segment of the ring. If the frame does not need to go to the next segment, or is not authorised to do so, then the security unit forwards instead a modified form of the frame in which its data cannot be read (except possibly by the security unit itself). In most cases the data content of the frame will be stored in the security unit. When the modified frame returns to the security unit at its second input port (4), the original frame can (if appropriate) be reconstructed, typically by reading its data content from store in the security unit. In this way, the frame is returned to the secure group at the same time and in the same form as if it had travelled around the first segment of the ring, but there is no opportunity for stations in the first segment to eavesdrop upon the frame.

Abstract: Le moniteur artériel de CO2 et le contrôleur en boucle fermée destiné à être utilisé avec un ventilateur surveille la respiration d'un patient et mesure la PaCO2 en fonction d'un ratio d'espace mort, qui est le ratio de l'espace mort alvéolaire par rapport au volume respiratoire alvéolaire. La méthode comprend plusieurs étapes : surveillance continue des paramètres mesurables de la respiration d'un patient; obtention d'une valeur d'entrée de la PaCO2 à partir d'un échantillon de sang du patient et utilisation des paramètres de la respiration du patient et de la valeur d'entrée pour calculer le ratio de l'espace mort; détermination continue de la PaCO2 en se fondant sur l'hypothèse que le ratio de l'espace demeure ensuite constant. Les règles de décision obtenues à partir d'autres données mesurables sont de préférence utilisées également pour déceler l'apparition de changements dans le ratio de l'espace mort, puis un nouveau ratio de l'espace mort est ensuite déterminé à partir des paramètres de la respiration du patient et d'une nouvelle valeur d'entrée de la PaCO2 obtenue à partir de l'échantillon de sang du patient.
