Patent CA-2115267-A1 (CA)
Title: Apparatus for processing photosensitive materials
Inventor: LONG FRANCIS C
IPC: G03D5/06
Filed: 1992-08-25
Abstract: A photographic processing apparatus intended to process a photosensitive material (18) with first and second processing ingredients (32, 34) includes a belt (20) having first and second porous members (12) located along the belt for absorbing first and second processing ingredients, respectively, and for transferring first and second processing ingredients so absorbed to the photosensitive material. The photosensitive material is moved against the porous members to compress the porous members to release the first and second processing ingredients from the porous members, to cause the first and second processing ingredients to be transferred to the photosensitive material from the porous members and to cause the ingredients to be mixed together to form a processing solution to process the photosensitive material. Furthermore, the movement of the photosensitive material over the porous members provides high agitation resulting in optimal processing of the protosensitive material.

Patent CA-2115964-A1 (CA)
Title: High dynamic range digitizer
Inventor: CHU CHING
IPC: G01M11/00
Filed: 1994-02-18
Abstract: A digitizer suitable for digitizing input signals having a high dynamic range. The digitizer is microprocessor controlled and comprises an input stage, a multi-channel attenuator or amplifier bank, a multiplexer and a analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The function of the multi-channel bank is to move the input signal within the range of the A/D converter. The input signal to be digitized is fed through the input stage to each of the channels in the attenuator bank. The signal is scaled by each respective channel in the attenuator bank. The multiplexer is used to switch the scaled signal which is within the range of the A/D converter for digitizing. The digitized sample is then corrected according to the attenuation or gain factor of the scaled channel. The digitizer includes a comparator bank which is used to determine the channel with the widest signal range within the range of the A/D converter. The digitizer also includes a channel calibrator for calibrating the actual gain or attenuation of each channel. In another aspect, the digitizer can be implemented using an optical front-end comprising an optical beam splitter, optical attenuators and amplifier banks. The optical front-end provides improved noise immunity and faster speed of operation.

Inventor: MICHAELS PAUL A
IPC: G01C17/30
Filed: 1994-03-29
Abstract: A vehicle compass system that is adapted to be calibrated in the assembly plant during final assembly of the vehicle. In particular, two factory calibration modes are disclosed: an automatic factory calibration mode wherein the calibration sequence is automatically initiated upon the occurrence of a uniquely definable event on the assembly line, and a manual factory calibration mode wherein a calibration button sequence is actuated at a specified location on the assembly line. In addition, an automatic adaptive calibration process is disclosed which continuously updates the calibration constants each time valid new heading data is obtained. In particular, heading vectors for the tour main N, S, E, and W heading directions are calculated and stored in memory when the system is initially calibrated. Thereafter, whenever new heading direction data is obtained, the value of the new heading vector is used to update the value of the closest of the four main heading vectors. A new center calculation is also performed using the updated values and if the result is outside a tolerance window, the calibration constants are changed accordingly.

Title: Manufacturing process for sample initiated assay device
Inventor: MCGEEHAN JOHN K
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 1993-01-21
Abstract: The quantitative test device is manufactured by attaching the critical component of a two-component dye system to minute particles such as microcrystalline cellulose, silica, or latex, which particles are suspended in a solution of a polymeric binder.  Additional non-immobilized components of the reaction system of the test device are optionally added to the polymer solution. The suspension of dyed particles in polymer solution is applied to a fabric as a coating, using conventional coating machines, to obtain a homogeneous distribution of immobilized dye throughout the fabric.  The measurement zone is made from a film support made of a material having a lower melting point than the filter cloth fabric used in the measurement zone was used. By using a lower melting point material for the support film, impulse heat sealing is controlled to a degree such that the lower melting point support is made to melt and extrude through the mesh of the fabric on either side of the channel, forming a seal along the sides of the channel. The device may be manufactured using a feedback loop which allows one to modify continuously the dimensions of a reading scale printed on the device.

Patent CA-2138868-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WILDI THEODORE
IPC: H05B3/34
Filed: 1994-12-22
Abstract: A heating system using steel mesh or steel rods, such as are used for reinforcing concrete.  The magnetic field associated with such a system can be significantly reduced by causing a current to flow in a set of conductors that are superposed on, and in close proximity to, the current-carrying wires of the steel mesh or steel rods. The total current in the conductors is essentially equal to and 180 degrees out of phase with the  total  current  in  the  wires.    The  significant reduction of the magnetic field improves the power factor of  the  heating  system,  eliminates  the  flicker  and distortion  of  the  image  on  sensitive  computer  and television and other cathode ray tube  screens,  and diminishes  possible  biological  effects  on  living organisms.
