Title: Pillowcase Construction
Inventor: LEWIS DORIS M
IPC: A47G9/02
Filed: 1995-04-24
Abstract: A configuration for a pillowcase for use in covering of a conventional bed sleeping pillow wherein the pillowcase includes an upper planar member having two lateral edges and two longitudinal edges and a lower planar member also have two lateral and two longitudinal edges.          The two planar members are integrally formed along the bottom edge therebetween and are attached along the side edges.  The two remaining longitudinal edges define an access opening for allowing placement and removal of a pillow extending therethrough.  This design further includes a closing flap integrally formed with respect to the longitudinal edge of the upper planar member and includes a hook and loop fastening means thereon detachably securable with a mated hook and loop fastening device positioned on the lower planar member such that the flap extends across the pillow access opening for retaining of the pillow firmly therein.  The final design provides an overall smooth appearance which allows firm retaining of a pillow therein and ease of removal and replacement thereof while having no stitching on the surface of either the upper portion of the pillow or the lower portion of the pillow.
Patent CA-2150976-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BROWN KIEL L
IPC: B62D1/19
Filed: 1995-06-05
Abstract: An energy absorbing device for the steering column of an automotive vehicle comprises a pair of generally U-shaped straps made of relatively stiff, bendable, flexible strip material. One leg of each strap is connected to a bracket affixed to vehicle support structure. The other leg is connected to the steering column. In a collision, the straps resist movement of the steering column and gradually absorb energy to prevent excessive reaction forces of the steering column against the driver. A connection between the steering column and the bracket prevents vibration of the steering column during normal operation of the vehicle. This connection is releasable in response to initial vehicle impact to allow controlled movement of the steering column under the restraining influence of the straps.

Title: Fixed-Interval Timing Circuit and Method
Inventor: SHOJI MASAKAZU
IPC: H03K5/04
Filed: 1995-07-26
Abstract: A system and method for generating a signal having a reliable, fixed duration and/or delay as a function of relative, not absolute, device characteristics. That is to say, the time period of the generated signal is determined as a ratio of one device's operating characteristics to another device's operating characteristics. In particular, the invention provides a fixed time signal as a function of the relative values of two capacitive elements that have a known ratio of capacitance with respect to each other. The invention is particularly useful when implemented upon an integrated circuit, as standard fabrication techniques for such circuits allow relative device characteristics to be held to relatively tight tolerances.

Title: Improved enhancement of chemiluminescent assays
Inventor: BRONSTEIN IRENA Y
IPC: C07C69/00
Filed: 1994-03-15
Abstract: Chemiluminescent bioassays for the presence or concentration of an analyte in a sample use 1,2-dioxetanes as substrates for the enzyme of an enzyme complex that bind to the analyte. The chemiluminescence obtained from the decomposition of the dioxetane trigerred by the enzyme through the formation of the corresponding 1,2-dioxetane oxyanion of the enzyme complex is enhanced by the addition of TBQ as an enhancement agent. Other polymeric quatenary onium salts can be used as enhancements agents in conjunction with enhancement additives which improve the ability of the enhancement agent to form hydrophobic regions in the aqueous sample, in which regions the 1-2-dioxetane oxyanion and its chemiluminescent decomposition products can be sequestered. A kit for performing such assays is also provided.

Patent CA-2160650-A1 (CA)
Title: Reduced height internal impact type particle separator
Inventor: WALKER DAVID JUDSON
IPC: B01D45/00
Filed: 1995-10-16
Abstract: Particles are separated from the flue gas of a furnace using an arrangement of concave impingement members or U-beam separators.  The U-beam separators are arranged in a plurality of rows wherein each separator in a given row is spaced away from an adjacent U-beam separator in the same row by a gap.  The U-beam separators of at least one subsequent row are aligned with the gaps between the U-beams in a preceding row.  A larger back spacing between some or all of the rows enhances particle collection efficiency from the flue gas by providing increased time  and distance  for  the  flue  gas  to  decelerate  before encountering a subsequent row of U-beams.   The larger back spacing between some or all of these downstream rows is at least the  distance  equivalent  to  the  concavity  or  depth  of  an individual U-beam separator.

Patent CA-2175292-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DAMMANN EHRHARD
IPC: G01S17/58
Filed: 1996-04-29
Abstract: The invention is directed to a process for measuring physical values of light-scattering moving particles by means of laser Doppler anemometry and to a corresponding laser Doppler anemometer (LDA) with phase modulation. The object of providing a novel possibility for generating a moving intensity-modulated superimposition signal in the measured volume of a LDA which is based on an uncomplicated driving of the phase modulator (22) is met, according to the invention, in that the phase modulator (22) is driven by two sinusoidal driving signals with different frequencies (.omega.1,.omega.2) which are coupled so as to be fixed with respect to phase and frequency, wherein one frequency (.omega.2) is an integral multiple of the other frequency (.omega.1), and a filter frequency (fF) which is a common multiple of the two frequencies (.omega.1,.omega.2) is filtered out from the output signal of the receiver (4) by a bandpass filter (5). For this purpose, one of two sidebands occurring in the output signal of the receiver (4) is suppressed by the appropriate amplitude adjustment of the driving signals at the phase modulator (22). The invention is preferably used for measuring velocity in flowing media and for measurements of length and acceleration of solid surfaces.
