Title: Phone line splitter assembly
Inventor: FRAZIER BRENT
IPC: H05K7/14
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: Improved splitter assemblies are described that can accept multiple incoming POTS lines and split each. In the preferred embodiments described herein, each of the incoming POTS lines is split into a voice line and a data line. The exemplary splitter assemblies described herein provide a card retainer that holds a plurality of POTS splitter cards. The splitter assemblies provide a hinged faceplate that retains a plurality of tool-less IDCs to form a panel to which electrical connections can be easily made in order to attach the incoming POTS lines and outgoing voice and data lines. In one preferred embodiment, a protective housing encloses the card retainer to provide a substantially weather-resistant enclosure for the card retainer. This housing is shaped and sized to be easily mounted in or adjacent to an existing building entrance terminal. The card retainer within has a number of retainer slots for splitter cards. Vents are disposed between the slots so that the cards can receive ventilation. The inside cover of the protective housing retains a test probe assembly that allows the connections with individual tool-less IDCs to be tested for integrity. A second splitter assembly is described wherein the card retainer is affixed directly to the backside of the outer panel of a building entrance terminal, particularly one that is located indoors or protected from the elements.
Patent CA-2321415-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SMITH CHRISTOPHER BRIAN
IPC: B23K20/12
Filed: 1999-05-13
Abstract: A stir weld tool of the present invention is used to weld two pieces of metal together through frictional heating, plasticizing, mixing, and forging of the plasticized metal into a uniform weldment. The stir weld is accomplished by rotating the stir weld tool with a pin having at least one boss on its surface to create the mechanical friction in the metal in contact with the rapidly rotating pin. As the rotating pin travels along the weld joint, the plasticized metal of the work pieces is extruded to the back face of the pin while undergoing a mechanical stirring and forging from action imparted by the at least one boss on the surface of the pin, and while confined from above by the pressure exerted on the metal by a shoulder on the stir weld tool.
Patent CA-2327393-A1 (CA)
Title: Solution for the preparation of a pharmaceutical substance for diagnosing and/or treating tissue pathologies
Inventor: LANGE NORBERT
IPC: A61K31/22
Filed: 1999-04-22
Abstract: The invention concerns a 5-aminolevulinic acid ester (E-ALA) solution for producing a pharmaceutical preparation useful for diagnosing and/or treating tissue and/or cell pathologies by local radiation exposure using radiation emitted by a light source energy followed, in the case diagnosis, by detection of fluorescent protoporphyrin IX (Pp1X). The E-ALA concentration in the solution is less than 1% and ranges between 0.01% and 0.5%. The low E-ALA concentration in the solution increases Pp1X synthesis and homogenises its distribution in the cell layers while highly reducing the secondary toxicity for the treated cells.
Patent CA-2330084-A1 (CA)
Title: Heat exchanger with transpired, highly porous fins
Inventor: GAWLIK KEITH
IPC: F28F13/00
Filed: 2001-01-03
Abstract: The heat exchanger includes a fin and tube assembly with increased heat transfer surface area positioned within a hollow chamber of a housing to provide effective heat transfer between a gas flowing within the hollow chamber and a fluid flowing in the fin and tube assembly. A fan is included to force a gas, such as air, to flow through the hollow chamber and through the fin and tube assembly. The fin and tube assembly comprises fluid conduits to direct the fluid through the heat exchanger, to prevent mixing with the gas, and to provide a heat transfer surface or pathway between the fluid and the gas. A heat transfer element is provided in the fin and tube assembly to provide extended heat transfer surfaces for the fluid conduits. The heat transfer element is corrugated to form fins between alternating ridges and grooves that define flow channels for directing the gas flow. The fins are fabricated from a thin, heat conductive material containing numerous orifices or pores for transpiring the gas out of the flow channel. The grooves are closed or only partially open so that all or substantially all of the gas is transpired through the fins so that heat is exchanged on the front and back surfaces of the fins and also within the interior of the orifices, thereby significantly increasing the available the heat transfer surface of the heat exchanger. The transpired fins also increase heat transfer effectiveness of the heat exchanger by increasing the heat transfer coefficient by disrupting boundary layer development on the fins and by establishing other beneficial gas flow patterns, all at desirable pressure drops.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif d'amélioration du temps de traitement de données reçues dans des applications par paquets lors d'une transmission via des réseaux de communication, notamment via un réseau IP et un réseau de communication mobile tel que le système mondial de communications mobiles (GSM), le système de télécommunications mobiles universelles (UMTS) et le service général de radiocommunication en mode paquet (GPRS). Les paquets de données provenant de la deuxième couche de protocoles, par exemple les trames de protocoles de liaison radioélectrique, sont combinés pour permettre la formation de paquets de données de la première couche de protocoles, par exemple des trames de protocole point à point (PPP), directement par le récepteur dans la deuxième couche de protocoles. Ensuite, les paquets de données complètement et correctement combinés sont transférés dans la première couche de protocoles. Lors du transfert des paquets de données dans la première couche de protocoles, une différence est établie entre deux modes. Le mode intra-flux est un mode dans lequel tous les paquets de données complètement générés sont transférés, c.-à-d. indépendamment du fait que les paquets de données appartiennent au même flux de données ou à deux flux de données différents. Par contre, une différence est établie dans le mode inter-flux. Dans ce mode, seuls les paquets de données complètement générés et appartenant à des flux de données différents sont transférés dans la première couche de protocoles.
