Patent CA-2155717-C (CA)
Title: Electronic sourcing system and method
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES M
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 1995-08-09
Granted: 2007-06-05
Abstract: An electronic sourcing system includes a computer that maintains a catalog database of data including product information (such as product identification and descriptive information) relating to catalog items available from vendor product catalogs, and a means for building (generating) a requisition including at least one requisitioned item. Information at least partially identifying an item desired to be requisitioned is entered by a user, and utilized by a means for searching the database for catalog items matching that information and for selecting at least one catalog item located as a result of the search. Text describing the catalog items, and images of the items, may be viewed. Data identifying selected catalog items are communicated to the requisition building means, which generates a requisition including entries for items corresponding to the selected catalog items. The system checks the availability in one or more inventory locations of the corresponding desired catalog items, and generates one or more purchase orders for desired items from inventory locations stocking the items.
Patent CA-2155884-C (CA)
Title: High air flow low pressure prefuser transport
Inventor: MALACHOWSKI MICHAEL
IPC: G03G15/00
Filed: 1995-08-11
Granted: 2000-01-25
Abstract: An apparatus for advancing a sheet from a moving imaging member having an unfused image thereon after transfer of the image to the sheet. After the image is transferred to the sheet, the sheet is advanced by a transport to a fuser. The transport has low impedance, high air flow to draw the sheet toward the transport for acquisition. As the sheet is moved across the transport, an increased air flow impedance causes a low vacuum pressure in the transport to provide a low drive force that minimizes quality and motion disturbances on the sheet.

Patent CA-2177102-C (CA)
Inventor: PETERSON RUDOLPH ANDREW JR
IPC: F02D17/04
Filed: 1996-05-22
Granted: 2000-02-22
Abstract: The pull-in coil of a fuel shut-off solenoid on an engine is connected to a thermistor circuit for limiting the current to the pull-in coil.  The pull-in coil is connected to ground through terminals of a control relay and through a thermistor. The activation coil of the control relay is also connected to the thermistor.  When power is initially supplied to the pull-in coil, the resistance of the thermistor is low and current flow is sufficient to activate the fuel shut-off solenoid. The initial low resistance also assures that the voltage at the control relay activation coil remains near ground so the control relay initially remains deactivated.  As the thermistor heats and resistance increases, pull-in coil current diminishes and voltage at the control relay increases until the control relay activates to interrupt power to the thermistor.  The thermistor cools so that upon occurrence of the next pull-in solenoid activation pulse, the solenoid pull-in coil will immediately activate.

Abstract: A magazine for a nail-driving tool, which may be pneumatically powered or combustion-powered, is arranged to store plural nail strips in side-by-side relation. A spring biased mechanism is used to bias the stored strips toward a side rail. Being movable along a frame between an advanced position and a retracted position, a feeding member in the retracted position engages the shank of an endmost nail of the stored strip nearest to the side rail. A negatorspring mechanism biasing the feeding member toward the advanced position includes a spring leaf arranged to be longitudinally pulled between the nail heads of the stored strip nearest to the side rail and the nail heads of the next strip when the feeding member is moved from the advanced position into the retracted position. The feeding member has a wedging portion arranged to push between some of the nail shanks of the stored strip nearest to the side rail of the magazine and some of the nail shanks of the next strip and to lead the spring leaf when moved from the advanced position into the retracted position and a rail-engaging portion arranged to push between the side rail and some of the nail shanks nearest to the side rail when moved similarly. In an operative position, in which it can be releasably latched, a biasing member bears against the nearest strip. A floor member can be adjustably positioned. When latched, the biasing member latches the floor.

Abstract: A braking system is provided having a rotatable split axle mounted laterally between the wheels of the hand cart. The axle is split in the middle of the axle to form two distinct segments. The adjacent ends of the axle have a longitudinal hole drilled in the axles and a pin is inserted between the holes to connect the two segments of the axle. A fixed hub for mounting the wheels is secured at the ends of the axle. The axle extends through bearing mounted on a bearing support brackets at the bottom of the hand cart. Each axle segment rotates with its respective wheel, and the axle segment and wheel on one side of the cart rotate independently of the other axle segment and wheel combination. A brake is mounted on the axle at the junction of the two axle segments. An actuator handle is mounted on the cart at a convenient point for actuating the brake. When the brake is manually operated, the braking force is applied to both segments of the axle to smoothly stop the hand cart. The brake is preferably a disc brake or a drum brake, although other braking devices may also be used in the present system.

Abstract: In the setting operation conducted by the handle 90 which is an operating section, an upper portion of the portion 26a' to be pushed of the card 26 is pushed by the end portion of the cam 90b, and the card 26 is moved. In accordance with the movement of the card 26, the suction cup block 23 is elastically deformed, and the suction cup 23b is sucked and held by the body 24 to be sucked.      The body 24 to be sucked is composed of a porous body, and air flows from the ventilation hale 29 into a space formed between the suction cup 23b and the body 24 to be sucked, via the body 24 to be sucked.      The card 26 is biased ahead by the return spring 27. When the releasing operation is conducted by the handle 90, the cam 90b is rotated, and the end portion of the cam 90b is separated from the end of the portion 26a' to be pushed. After that, when the intensity of the sucking force of the suction cup 23b to the body 24 to be sucked is decreased lower than that of the spring force of the return spring 27, the card 26 is moved ahead, so that the card member 26c pushes up the movable contactor 70.
