Title: Camera alignment device
Inventor: CORLEY FERRAND DAVID ERNEST
IPC: G03B15/02
Filed: 1995-08-14
Abstract: This invention relates to an improvement in a portable test pattern illuminator for illuminating a reference image so that the colour and tonal range of a camera focussed on the reference image can be balanced to enable the camera to produce a faithful reproduction of objects in a light source having similar characteristics of the general type having a screen with an opening; means for supporting a reference image object in said opening; and a light diffuser panel for transmitting light from a source to the reference object.  The improvement consists wherein the reference object is supported by the means for supporting the reference object in parallel relation to the surface of the light diffuser panel.  Yet a further improvement comprises providing a diffuser panel which has a peripheral non-specular reflector extending around its perimeter; said peripheral non-specular reflector having a non-specular reflective surface of substantially neutral coloration to reflect non-specular diffused light onto the marginal areas of the diffuser panel to achieve a more even light distribution across the face of the diffuser panel in use.  Yet a further improvement comprises  mounting a specular reflector at the back of the screen to reflect light from a source to the diffuser panel's surface, the plane of said specular reflector being at an angle of about 45 degrees to the plane of the screen, whereby the length of the light path from the source to the diffuser panel's surface is about the same for the full depth of the diffuser panel's surface.
Patent CA-2157195-A1 (CA)
Title: Screwable closure cap with security against over-tightening
Inventor: PFEFFERKORN GEORG
IPC: B65D41/04
Filed: 1995-01-26
Abstract: In the case of over-tightening of the closure-cap on a beverage bottle (through turning in the wrong direction) there is the risk that, due to the high internal pressure, not only will the thread jump, but also that the cap will be ejected directly from the container. In order to avoid this risk, the invention proposes a screwable closure-cap with security against over-tightening. This cap possesses a ramp element (3) on the end of the thread oriented towards the cap-base, said ramp element being able to engage with the thread-start of the container mouth in the case of over-tightening of the closure-cap. As a result, the cap-wall in the area of the ramp element will be forced outwards in the case of over-tightening so that jumping of the thread in this region will be facilitated. In this way, jumping of the thread on one side only = on the ramp element side = will be achieved when over-tightening is continued, so that ejection of the closure-cap will not be possible. In a further embodiment of the invention, retention elements (7,8) are arranged in the region of the seal. As a result of over-tightening and subsequent deformation of the region of the seal, said retention elements will make contact with the container mouth and the sealing-line will be interrupted. As a result, the container will be vented prior to jumping of the thread.

Patent CA-2161475-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MURRAY NANCY
IPC: G08B3/10
Filed: 1995-10-26
Abstract: In a noisy environment, e.g., a car traveling down the road with the radio playing, a user who prefers that his pager provide him with an audible alert in response to an actuation of the pager may not be able to hear such an audible alert supplied by the pager. To overcome this difficulty, a pager that is set to an audible alert mode is arranged to change its alerting for a particular actuation of the pager from audible to tactile only when the ambient sound level of the environment in which the pager is located is greater than a predetermined threshold level. For each actuation of the pager that the ambient sound level in the environment in which the pager is located is less than the predetermined threshold level, the pager alerts audibly. Optionally, if the pager also determines that it is no longer being worn on the person of a user, the pager alerts audibly regardless of whether the ambient sound level is greater than the predetermined threshold level. Advantageously, as much of the time as feasible the user receives only the type of alert he desires, namelyaudible, while receiving the alternative form of alert, namely tactile, only when necessary to avoid loss of the page by the failure of the use to perceive the alert.

Title: Artificial limb mounting apparatus
Inventor: HELMY NASHAT N
IPC: A61F2/80
Filed: 1996-05-06
Abstract: An elastomeric sleeve, for retaining and attaching a prothesis to a stump of an amputee. Typically, the sleeve is made of polyurethane, soft elastomer reinforced with a nylon or polyurethane mesh. This reinforcement, among other things, eliminates the possibility of support failure caused by a small tear or cut. The polyurethane elastomer is selected to have a resilience, load bearing capability and energy and impact absorption similar or close to that of the enclosed limb adjacent to the sleeve to reduce pressure points. The elastomer is also selected to be able to stretch up to 700% to 1,600% an original dimension but return to within five percent or less of the original dimension. These stretch characteristics are modified by a special mesh pattern, which permits a greater amount of stretch around the limb circumferentially than along the limb. This results in the limb remaining tightly secured to a prosthesis as the sleeve extends and compresses longitudinally in use, and also eases the task of stretching and installing the sleeve over the stump and prosthesis. This combination also provides a sealing grip around the stump while providing a soft and friendly attachment.
