Abstract: A D-shaped grip handle for use with a hand manipulated implement includes a generally U-shaped portion having an integral mounting sleeve for mounting the grip handle on the end of a shaft and having a hand grip bar integrally formed with the U-shaped portion so as to be disposed substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the mounting sleeve. The grip bar has a layer of soft rubber material, such as thermoplastic rubber, formed circumferentially thereon so as to create a pattern of spaced raised pads along approximately one-half of the circumference of the soft rubber layer, with the remaining half of said circumference defining a continuous smooth grip surface having an undulating contour to receive the fingers of the user's hand. The raised pads on the soft grip layer provide improved traction with the palm of the user's hand while the smooth opposite surface of the soft grip layer spreads the lifting force evenly onto the palm of the user's hand to thereby increase the comfort during use and reduce the effort required to manipulate an implement with which the grip handle is used.

Title: Circuit board side interconnect
Inventor: MASON JEFFREY W
IPC: H05K3/36
Filed: 2000-01-05
Granted: 2003-09-16
Abstract: The circuit traces of a circuit board extend to and usually outward from a side surface of the board for direct connection to contacts of a mating connector, circuit board or device. The contact portions of the traces are the end surfaces of the traces which in one embodiment extend outward of the plane of the associated side surface of the circuit board. The contact portion may be of greater cross-sectional area than that of the associated trace to provide a contact area of intanded size. The contact portion of a trace may be plated with gold or other appropriate conductive material to enhance conductivity and prevent or minimize oxidation or corrosion. Interconnection to the contact portions of the traces is provided by mating contacts which respectively engage the contact and surfaces of the traces.      Preferably, the mating contacts are resilient conducaive columns or elements which are maintained in engagement with the contact ends by suitable hardware.

Title: Angiographic injector system with automatic high/low pressure switching
Inventor: LIU JIYAN
IPC: A61M5/00
Filed: 1998-10-23
Granted: 2008-09-23
Abstract: An angiographic injector system includes a manifold and valve which selectively connects either a syringe pump or a low pressure system to a catheter which is inserted into a patient. The valve is normally biased to a state which connects the low pressure system to the catheter for pressure monitoring, saline flushing, or aspirating functions. When an injection is to be made, the valve automatically switches so that the low pressure system is disconnected and not exposed to high pressure, while the syringe pump is connected through the manifold to the catheter.
Patent CA-2312355-C (CA)

Granted: 2007-11-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and configuration for testing digital protection devices in which a data processing energy supply network is emulated by means of pulsed output of digital current and voltage signals. To this end, utilizing one such method, corresponding currents and voltages are constructed and supplied to a protection device which is to be tested. In order to test protection devices as realistically as possible with comparatively simple data processing equipment, the fetched out digital current and voltage signals (J', U') are first buffered in succession at the beginning of the testing of the protection device (6). After achieving a predetermined consistency of the buffered signals (I z, U z), the respective oldest buffer ed signals (I z, U z) are read out in a clock-pulse manner and most recent fetched out signals (J', U') are buffered. In the occurrence of a tripping signal, reading out is continued in a pulsed manner and data processing network specific digital current and voltage signals are fetched out and buffered.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la protection de composants électroniques, se trouvant dans un matériel standard disponible sur le marché, contre un verrouillage à l'état passant provoqué par un rayonnement solaire, une explosion nucléaire, une induction électromagnétique ou des fluctuations de tension d'alimentation. Dans ce but, les courants d'alimentation sont, dans une phase préalable au fonctionnement du matériel standard disponible sur le marché, mesurés et mémorisés dans un dispositif mémoire. Pendant le fonctionnement du matériel, les courants d'alimentation sont continuellement comparés aux courants d'alimentation mémorisés, ce qui entraîne une déconnexion des composants électroniques si les courants absorbés dépassent considérablement les courants mémorisés.

Granted: 2003-11-18
Abstract: A thin film resonator (TFR) is produced with an improved piezoelectric film which is epitaxially grown on a growing surface, resulting in a piezoelectric film with less grain boundaries. Epitaxial growth refers to the piezoelectric film having a crystallographic orientation taken from or emulating the crystallographic orientation of a single crystal substrate or growing surface. For example, by epitaxially growing a piezoelectric film on a single crystal silicon substrate as the growing surface, an improved piezoelectric film is produced with little or no grain boundaries. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a method of making a TFR is disclosed in which the piezoelectric film is grown on a substrate.  Subsequently, a portion of the substrate is removed, and the electrodes are deposited on either side of the piezoelectric film.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for increasing a data throughput in network applications for the transmission of data at high speed, for example, the Internet, via a packet oriented cordless data network, for example, the GPRS network. The Internet application provides for data in the form of data packets (n, n+1, n+2, n+3, ...). In case of transmission via the Internet the data packets are transmitted via different paths, which is why the data packets are available to the GPRS network at an intermediate node in the wrong sequence. Also, data packets get lost, which upon a new request are available also in the wrong sequence. Due to a different bandwidth a number of data packets is available for transmission at the intermediate node of the GPRS network while a first data packet is transmitted. The sequence of the available data packets is determined and the data packets are sorted for being available for transmission in a sorted sequence.
