Patent CA-2616202-A1 (CA)
Inventor: POLIDORI MARIO
IPC: H01R4/18
Filed: 2006-07-12
Abstract: A cable clamp includes a housing (212) having a cavity therein with two opposed walls and an open end in communication with the cavity. A pair of wedge shaped jaws (226a, 228b) are located within the housing and are slideably movable toward and away from the opening. Each of the jaws include s a semi-cylindrical gripping surface (34, 36) which are adapted to move towar d each other to grip a cable (154a) therebetween when the jaws move toward the opening and are able to move away from each other when the jaws move away fr om the opening so as to release a cable located therebetween. A spring (238) biases the jaws toward the opening so that they are biased into the gripping position. In order to more positively hold the cable, each of the gripping surfaces includes a plurality of teeth in the form of raised segments of spiral threads (58, 60). Some of the spiral threads on each of said inserts are right handed (58) and some are left handed (60) to help prevent rotating movement of the cable as it is being gripped. The clamp can be used as a dea d end clamp or the housing can contain a second pair of jaws (226b, 228b), preferably extending in opposite directions, whereby the clamp is capable of gripping a second cable (154b) for electrically and mechanically connecting two cables together.

Abstract: Films and/or capsules for the delivery of and/or coating of active ingredients are provided. Such edible films and/or capsules comprise particular modified carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) materials either alone or in combination with other types of hydrocolloids or biogums. The utilization of such modified CMC  products aids in the production of such films and/or capsules through the availability of larger amounts of base materials with lower amounts of water requiring evaporation therefrom. In such a manner, not only may dimensionally stable, flexible, non-tacky, salt tolerant, and quick dissolving edible films and/or capsules be produced, but the amount of time required for such manufacture is minimal when compared with traditional methods of production with cellulosic-based materials. Furthermore, such novel edible films and/or capsules exhibit excellent clarity, retention of actives, and other physical properties (such as tensile strength, elongation, and ability to be cut into various shapes and sizes, etc.) that make such ultimate products attractive for use in a variety of functions. Furthermore, such films and/or capsules also exhibit properties in dissolution that permit controlled release of actives at any particularly desired rate. The novel method of manufacture as well as the ultimate edible films and/or capsules exhibiting such physical characteristics are also encompassed within this invention.
