Title: Video monitor suspension system
Inventor: SWEERE HARRY C
IPC: G12B5/00
Filed: 1995-12-29
Abstract: A video monitor suspension system including four bar linkages  spaced  along an  angled arm  for  adjustable  and positionable vertical  and horizontal  support of  a video monitor or the like.   A weight counter balance adjustment mechanism adjustably compensates for various weights of a load held by the angled arm.   Gas springs provide for vertical support of the angled arm.   Configured slots in which the upper ends of the gas springs position provide for minimal manual  positioning  effort  and  a  linear  counterbalance throughout the entire range of vertical adjustment.  An arm bent  at  an  angle  of 120°  overcomes  the  traditional interference of the load with movement of the arm beyond 45°.

Title: Adaptable coin mechanism
Inventor: LEWIS CRAIG A
IPC: G07D1/02
Filed: 1996-09-20
Abstract: A coin mechanism has one or more coin tubes for storing, respectively, coins of one or more denominations, a dispenser for controlling the dispensing of coins from the coin tubes, and a coin mechanism controller suitable for connection to a controller in an automatic transaction system so as to receive change dispense signals from the automatic transaction system controller indicating the form of dispensing change to a customer. The coin mechanism controller, when connected to the automatic transaction system controller, serves as an interface between the automatic transaction system controller and the dispenser, and is programmed to re-determine the form of paying out the change, for example, by taking into account the distribution and denominations of the coins in the coin tubes. The arrangement of coin tubes in a coin tube cassette for use with the coin mechanism can be identified by entering a code on a keypad associated with the coin mechanism.

Title: Method for detecting microorganism
Inventor: SQUIRRELL DAVID JAMES
IPC: C12Q1/04
Filed: 1995-07-12
Abstract: A method is provided for determining the presence and/or amount of a microorganism and/or its intracellular material present in a sample characterised in that:(a) exposing the sample to a specific binding agent that has been immobilised upon a solid substrate, the specific binding agent being capable of binding to the microorganism or its intracellular material such that it becomes associated with the solid substrate, (b) exposing the solid substrate to an agent capable of making adenylate kinase associated with the microorganism and/or its intracellular material accessible to solutions applied to the substrate, (c) applying a solution containing adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to the substrate under conditions whereby adenosine triphosphate (ATP) may be produced by any adenylate kinase present, and (d) measuring the amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and relating that to the presence and/or amount of microorganism or intracellular contents. Step (d) may be carried out using an assay that includes a colour forming reaction, but is preferably carried out by use of luciferase/luciferin reagent to produce light proportional to the amount of ATP produced, and that is detected using a luminometer. Preferably step (c) includes presence of magnesium ions at a molar concentration sufficient to allow maximal conversion of ADP to ATP. Most preferably step (b) and (c) are carried out by adding extractant, ADP and magnesium ions to the sample and incubating the mixture for a predetermined period to effect conversion of ADP to ATP.
Patent CA-2199705-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RUTTER CHRISTOPHER C
IPC: B65B3/00
Filed: 1995-09-12
Abstract: A spout fitment (21) attached to a liquid filled bag (B) having a slidable dispensing valve member (217) to receive a line connector (70) for establishing a fluid path from an interior of the bag (B), through a valve element (84) in the line connector (70) and into a service line. Although the valve member (217) is slid into the bag when the line connector (70) is inserted therein, the sliding motion does not form the valve action. The bag seal is established by a valve element (223) within the valve member (217) that is resiliently biased to close an opening (215) therein. The valve member (217) thus need not be slid in the fitment (21) when the line connector (70) is removed from the valve member (217), thereby making it easier to remove and reinsert the line connector (70). Insertion of the line connector (70) within the valve member (217) causes their respective valve elements to engage each other to open and form the fluid flow path.

A biasing element (40) is connected between the anvil or the horn and its drive (36, 38) to define the sealing pressure developed between the anvil and the horn. The biasing force can be adjusted without stopping the machine, by using an externally applied pneumatic force. The anvil has a backing element (56) with a curved front surface (212) connected to a curved back surface (236) of the anvil. A fastener (226) is provided for selectively fixing the anvil and the backing element together or allowing the anvil to shift along the curved surface of the backing element for aligning the anvil with respect to the transducer. A cooling fluid may be provided for passing through a passage (240) in the anvil body for cooling during operation. A method for aligning the anvils and transducers of an ultrasonic sealing apparatus as described above is also disclosed.

Title: Method and apparatus for detecting underground utility conveyances
Inventor: HUFFMAN JOHN SINCLAIR
IPC: G01V3/08
Filed: 1996-09-23
Abstract: An underground utility conveyance may be precisely located by impressing both a locating signal and a confirmation tone on the conveyance. The locating signal comprises an RF signal that produces a first field that radiates above the earth that is sensed by a first, above-ground signal detector to establish the general location of the conveyance. The confirmation tone comprises a near-DC signal that produces a second field having a relatively limited radiation path. A second detector is inserted into the earth at successive places in the region where the conveyance is located to establish its precise location.
