Title: Breath deflector with seal
Inventor: MATICH RONALD D
IPC: A61F9/02
Filed: 1997-11-12
Abstract: A breath deflector sealed across the bridge of the nose and extending forwardly therefrom, such as to the inside portion of a helmet and downwardly beyond the mouth, to prevent the fogging of glasses or the visor of the helmet. The seal of the breath deflector extends from the outside corner of one eye, across the bridge of the nose, and to the outside corner of the other eye to minimize a direct upward flow of moisture from one's breath to the area of vision in front of one's eyes. The breath deflector is resilient to form fit to the bridge of the nose even at temperatures below freezing, moisture-resistant, and insulative. A breath deflector kit includes a set of breath deflecting pieces, a plurality of stand alone skin friendly adhesive strips which are double faced with removable backs for being applied to the breath deflector in the field, and a plurality of swatches made of the same material of the pieces but formed in a different shape for being distinguishable from the breath deflecting pieces for being applied to exposed areas of the face with the adhesive strips. The breath deflector may be used with glasses, goggles, and/or helmets.
Patent CA-2222826-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GABRIEL KLAUS-DIETER
IPC: B66C11/06
Filed: 1997-11-28
Abstract: A traveling mechanism for a lifting device, especially for a lifting device having a laterally cantilevering boom, is movable on rails with at least two running wheels.  A connection element for attaching a load to said traveling mechanism is supported in the rail by the running wheels which are arranged on both sides of the connection element.  The connection element has, at the region projecting down out of the rail, at least one running roller which is freely rotatable about a horizontal axis and rolls on a horizontal outer running surface of the rail.  To effectively divert horizontal forces and uniformly distribute the vertical forces to the running wheels, running wheel axles are rigidly connected with a running wheel carrier, and the running wheel carrier and connection element are swivelably connected by a universal type joint.  In addition, at least one support roller is rotatably mounted at the connection element in the interior of the rail.  The support roller freely rotates about a vertical axis and rolls along at least one of the side surfaces to transmit horizontal forces to the rail.

Title: Bleeding ink for printing security documents
Inventor: ROZUMEK OLIVIER
IPC: B41M3/14
Filed: 1997-04-25
Abstract: A bleeding or fugitive printing ink is disclosed and claimed which can be printed by the method of dry or wet offset or letterpress.  This ink allows, when printed on security documents and dried, to prevent attempts of forgery or counterfeit in that the ink contains at least one dyestuff which is sensitive to organic solvents and other chemical reagents. The ink, when printed, forms a solid, polymerised or cross-linked binder matrix on the surface of the document when the printings are submitted to energy radiation, or by an oxypolymerisation reaction. This matrix is formed nearly immediately, in the case of oxypolymerisation within 24 hours, in contrast to conventional bleeding printing inks whose matrixes do not really dry and remain liquid in the interstices of the substrate.

Patent CA-2242655-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BEHM RANDALL M
Filed: 1998-07-08
Abstract: A fully automated system and method for providing a closed-end loan repayment system that allows a borrower to adjust his or her repayment schedule for the closed-end loan on a periodic, i.e., monthly, basis. Every month the borrower is given within a billing statement several options as to what the borrower's payment will be for that month. If the borrower chooses a relatively larger payment option, then the interest rate applied to the remaining balance will be lower than if the borrower chooses to make a smaller payment option. The larger payment option is based upon a predetermined shorter repayment term and lower interest rate, and the smaller repayment option is based upon a predetermined longer repayment term and higher interest rate. Accordingly the present invention provides a system and method for processing a closed-end installment loan that performs the steps of: accessing the principal balance due, the present repayment term and the present interest rate of a borrower's closed-end loan; calculating at least two periodic payment options for the borrower, a lower payment option corresponding to a longer repayment term and higher interest rate, and a higher payment option corresponding to a shorter repayment term and lower interest rate; processing a periodic payment made by the borrower; and adjusting the present repayment term and interest rate responsive to which of the payment options was chosen by the borrower in making his or her periodic payment.

Abstract: A system and method of simultaneously paging a mobile station (15) from a plurality of mobile switching centers (MSCs) (11-14) in a radio telecommunications network (10) without utilizing a home location register is disclosed. The system and method may be utilized to more rapidly locate a mobile station operating in a roamer port region covered by a plurality of MSCs. When a roamer port call (16) is received in a first MSC (11) in which the roamer port is defined, the first MSC begins paging for the mobile station (15) while simultaneously sending a plurality of paging request messages to each of the other MSCs (12-14) in the roamer port region. The paging request messages include an indication that the call is a roamer port call, and an indication of the Local Access and Transport Area (LATA) in which paging is requested. Each MSC  reiceving one of the paging request messages (18) immediately begins paging the mobile station (15) in parallel with other receiving MSCs. If no page response is received, the unsuccessful MSC returns to a no response return result message (19) to the first MSC. If a page response is received, the successful MSC  returns a routing number for the mobile station in a return result message to the first MSC. The first MSC then routes the roamer port call to the successful MSC.

Filed: 1999-03-10
Abstract: In a communication terminal apparatus 21 , a transmitting data processing section 205 provides guard time having no data to the end portion of reverse control data to form the frame when transmitting reverse control data including call request data. And a radio transmitting section 206 orthogonally modulates reverse data input from the transmitting data processing section 205 and frequency-converts the same. Then, the radio transmitting section 206 controls timing using timing information input form a synchronization processing section 203, and transmits the resultant data from an antenna 201. As a result, even if control data is transmitted from a different communication terminal apparatus one frame earlier or later, a base station can receive respective control data in a frame period from a receiving section of one channel, and decode the same.
