Patent CA-2246347-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BALLYNS JAN
IPC: B60C23/04
Filed: 1997-02-13
Abstract: A pneumatic sensor switch for giving a warning signal if a pneumatic vehicle tire has too low pressure has a gas-filled chamber (11), separated from the inflation space in the tire by a flexible diaphragm (8) cooperating electrically with a metal part (16) in the chamber to form an electric switch open at safe pressures in the tire and closed at dangerous lower pressures. There is an electric circuit with battery (4) and transmitter (5) to transmit warning signals to the outside if said switch is closed. There may be a second chamber (13) with electric switch contact means, filled with gas at a lower pressure and also separated from the inflation space in the tire by a flexible diaphragm (10) so that said contact means are open at atmospheric pressure therein and closed by the diaphragm at higher pressures. The electric switch means of both chambers (11, 13) are connected in series so that a warning signal is only given at pressures in the dangerous range, when both switches are closed, and not at atmospheric and at safe operating pressures in the tire. There may be a roll switch in one of the chambers to interrupt the electric circuit when the device is stationary. The diaphragm (8) may have mechanical contact means or operate such means through compression of the gas in the closed chamber (11). There may be more than one such sensor, operating at mutually different tire pressures. The gas filled chambers make the device take up the same temperature as the inflation space in the tire, so that the device adapts itself adequately to differing temperatures in the tire.

Title: Hockey game apparatus
Inventor: HOFFMAN MARK K
IPC: A63F7/06
Filed: 1998-12-24
Abstract: A hockey game apparatus for which combines the physical characteristics of hockey with the strategic characteristics of foosball. The inventive device includes a frame having a floor and a plurality of arcuate walls, a pair of opposing goal openings, and a plurality of partitions having at least one opening. The players each utilize a paddle to engage a ball or disk for scoring a goal in the opposing player's goal opening. The partitions and the arcuate walls preferably include a filler of either foam, water, sand or other sound deadening material. The filler within the partitions reduces the amount of sound emitted from engagement by the paddles. The arcuate walls reduce the chance that the ball or disk will become trapped within a corner during play.
Patent CA-2258020-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HULICK TIMOTHY P
IPC: H03D1/22
Filed: 1997-06-12
Abstract: An amplitude modulated (AM) signal is applied through a sample and hold circuit including a switch (315) and a capacitor (C3) to a series circuit of an amplifier (340), a low pass filter (350) and a group delay equalizer (360) to produce a detected envelope output. The AM signal is also applied through a phase locked loop (325) and a low pass filter (327) to a comparator (330) in series with a differentiator (335) to produce sample pulses applied to the switch (315). A time constant of the low pass filter (327) is chosen so that the comparator produces pulse edges near the wave peaks of the AM signal. The differentiator (335) contains a delay element (336) which delays each sample pulse to cause the switch (315) to sample the AM signal at or near a wave peak which is subsequent to an earlier wave peak which produced the sample pulse.

IPC: C12P7/64
Filed: 1998-06-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for preparing polyunsaturated long chain fatty acids in plants, plant parts and plant cells, such as leaves, roots, fruits and seeds. Nucleic acid sequences and constructs encoding PKS-like genes required for the poly-unsaturated long chain fatty acid production, including the genes responsible for eicosapentenoic acid production of Shewanella putrefaciens and novel genes associated with the production of docosahexenoic acid in Vibrio marinus are used to generate transgenic plants, plant parts and cells which contain and express one or more transgenes encoding one or more of the PKS-like genes associated with such long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid production. Expression of the PKS-like genes in the plant system permits the large scale production of polyunsaturated long chain fatty acids such as eicosapentenoic acid and docosahexenoic acid for modification of the fatty acid profile of plants, plant parts and tissues. Manipulation of the fatty acid profiles allows for the production of commercial quantities of novel plant oils and products.
