Patent CA-2588173-A1 (CA)
Title: Apparatus and method for disabling rf signal transmissions from wireless network modems
Inventor: NASR AMR KHALED
IPC: G01C21/26
Filed: 2007-05-10
Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for disabling radio frequency signal transmissions from a wireless communications network modem when in proximity to sites where explosive devices are being detonated. The apparatus includes an input switch to signal a command to the modem to disable the transmitter portion of the modem or to tune the transmitter to a null gateway on the wireless communications network. By disabling transmissions from the modem, accidental detonation of explosive devices is prevented. When the modem is moved a safe distance away from the explosive devices, the transmitter is re-enabled automatically.

Title: Fall arrest support
Inventor: WARREN BERNARD RAYMOND
IPC: A62B1/04
Filed: 2005-11-28
Abstract: A fall arrest system has a top anchorage bracket (1), a bottom anchorage bracket (2) and a cable (3) between the brackets. Fixture ends (12, 22) of the brackets carry bosses (13, 23) in their bottom and top edges (14, 24) respectively. Cable tension pulls the distal ends of the brackets towards each other about the bolts B and the bosses react with the corner of the pylon. The bracket end (15) is dimensioned such that in the event of a fall and loading of the cable, the bracket (1) deforms plastically, peeling away from the face F. The bottom anchorage bracket (2) has an arm (25) with a bore for a clamp bolt (31), carrying a load transfer bracket (32) and a clamp nut (34). The bolt is engaged in a slot (35) in a slotted limb (36) of the bracket (32). Above the limb, the load transfer bracket (32) is integrally connected via a thin tongue (37) to a sleeve (38) locating the end of the cable. The cable (3) extends through the sleeve to a swaged on collar (40). A tensioning device is used to draw down the limb (36) and tension the cable, whereupon the brackets (2) and (32) are clamped together.

Patent CA-2597804-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JEUNG YOUNG-CHUN
IPC: H02K1/27
Filed: 2007-08-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to a permanent magnet rotor of a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor, in which cogging torque ripple and electromagnetic vibration noise transferred to the permanent magnet rotor can be blocked and a motor's power-to-weight ratio can be improved. A conventional BLDC motor has to use an electric steel sheet core so as to maintain the maximum magnetic flux density of the permanent magnet rotor and to minimize a rotating electric field loss. As a result, cogging torque vibration due to interaction with an armature core and electromagnetic vibration noise of the rotating magnetic field are unavoidably transferred to a load side through the motor rotary shaft. However, the rotor according to the present invention can enable stable driving of the BLDC motor by innovatively blocking the cogging torque vibration and the electromagnetic vibration noise and can greatly reduce the motor's weight by using a plastic or non-magnetic material instead of an electric steel sheet core.

Title: Method and apparatus for measuring motion of a subject using a series of partial images from an imaging system
Inventor: FLACHENECKER CLAUS
IPC: A61B3/113
Filed: 2006-03-30
Abstract: A line scan imager is used to determine the motion of a subject. Each line of image data from the line scan imager is compared with a reference image. The location of a matching line in the reference image reveals the displacement of the subject. The current subject displacement can be determined based on each line of image data. The resulting displacement information can be used to correctly place other optical beams on the subject. The method can be applied to tracking the human eye to facilitate measurement, imaging, or treatment with a beam of optical radiation.
