Patent CA-2411127-C (CA)
Title: Signal lamps and apparatus
Inventor: TICHBORNE FRANK GEORGE
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2002-11-05
Granted: 2014-08-19
Abstract: An LED signal lamp comprises at least two separate LED arrays which have separate power feeds and wherein the LEDs of the arrays are positioned with respect to each other such that when lit they provide a composite light signal output and such that when the LEDs of only one of the two arrays are lit they provide a light signal with a visible distinctive pattern. A distinctive pattern is revealed, either lit or dark. Typically this pattern may be formed as a letter such as "X" or "F" or may be foamed as a striped effect, for example. An LED signal apparatus comprises input signal power supply terminals 7,8 for the apparatus; a series connection of switch means S1 to S4 and a ballast load 6 connected across the supply terminals 7,8; an LED signal lamp 1,2 connected to the terminals to be supplied with current therefrom; and switch operating means D1 to D4, in the supply path to the LED lamp, for controlling the state of the switch means S1 to S4 in the series connection, whereby total failure or substantially total failure of the current to the LED signal lamp results in said switch operating means D1 to D4 causing said switch means to open to disconnect the ballast load 6 from power from the supply terminals 7,8.

IPC: B21D31/06
Filed: 2004-09-16
Granted: 2006-11-28
Abstract: A method to reduce the width of slots or openings in a pipe. The method involve determining the position of the slots relative to the surface of the pipe and determining the width of the slots. A signal is generated corresponding to the determined width and relative position of the slots and the signal is directed to a controller. The controller compares the determined width of the slots with a pre-determined value and identifies slots having widths greater than the pre-determined value. The exterior surface of the pipe adjacent to the slots having determined widths greater than the pre- determined value is treated through causing one or more compression tools to be moved to selectively contact the exterior surface of the pipe adjacent to the identified slots so as to selectively reduce the width of the slots.

Granted: 2013-07-16
Abstract: A treatment method and genetic vectors are disclosed for non-invasive delivery of polypeptides through the blood brain barrier (BBB), to treat brain or spinal tissue. A genetic vector is used to transfect one or more neurons which "straddle" the BBB, such as sensory neurons, nocioceptive neurons, or lower motor neurons; this is done by administering the vector in a manner that causes it to contact neuronal projections that extend outside the BBB. Once inside a peripheral projection that belongs to a BBB-straddling neuron, the vectors (or some portion thereof) will be transported to the main cell body of the neuron, through a process called retrograde transport. Inside the main cell body, at least one gene carried by the genetic vector will be expressed, to form polypeptides. Some of these polypeptides (which can include leader sequences that will promote anterograde transport and secretion by BBB-straddling neurons) will be transported by the neurons to secretion sites inside the BBB. The polypeptides will be secreted by transfected neurons at locations inside the BBB, and will then contact and exert their effects upon secondary "target" neurons located entirely within the BBB. By using this system, polypeptides that stimulate nerve growth or activity can be used to treat neurodegenerative diseases, impaired limbs in stroke victims, etc., and polypeptides that suppress neuronal activity can be used to treat unwanted excessive neuronal activity, such as neuropathic pain. This approach also provides new methods for delivering endocrine and paracrine polypeptides into the CNS, thereby allowing improved medical and reproductive treatments in humans, and improved ability to modulate growth, maturation, reproduction, or other endocrine-related functions among livestock, endangered species, and other animals.

Granted: 2012-07-03
Abstract: The inventive sitting and reclining cushion is divided into a seat cushion and a back cushion, which are configured in an essentially identical manner. A  sleeve (4) consisting of a textile material with low elasticity contains a plurality of tubular pockets (5) consisting of an identical material and joined longitudinally to said sleeve by means of seams (6).  Each pocket (5) is likewise connected to its neighbour or neighbours by means of seams (6). Each pocket (5) contains a pouch (7), which consists of an elastic plastic and comprises a valve (8), and can be filled with compressed air. As a result, the pockets (5) modify their shape, thus tensioning the sleeve (4) and forming the actual sitting or reclining surface. The optimised shape of the cushion structure can be adapted to individual requirements for comfort by means of different air pressures in the pouches (7).
