IPC: A61J1/00
Filed: 1995-08-22
Abstract: A system and a method are provided for detecting a bag that has been subjected to a process, such as illumination, wherein the contents of the bag require processing before subsequent use. The system (1) has a drawer (10) on which one or more bags may be placed and properly oriented. Punches (22) are provided for punching slugs from the bag indicative of a status of the processing of the bag. The punches (22) are aligned with die apertures (26) of a die (24) and corresponding punch apertures (20) through the drawer (10). The bag may include polarizing materials (50) such that the status of the processing of the bag (52) may be sensed. To this end, a rotating polarizing piece (70) is provided as well as a light source (34) and a sensor (38). The polarities between the polarizing piece (50) of the bag and the rotating polarizing piece (70) is monitored by the sensor (38) to indicate a condition or status of the processing of the bag and/or to further indicate tampering taking place in the process.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif (14) d'égalisation de la répartition de la tension entre des semi-conducteurs blocables et montés en série (2). Selon l'invention, à l'état non bloqué, des retards de coupure prédéterminés sont appelés en fonction d'une valeur de mesure d'un courant de charge (i¿L?) et ces retards sont actualisés après la coupure effectuée, en fonction d'une répartition de tension erronée détectée. On obtient ainsi un procédé et un dispositif (14) d'égalisation de la répartition de la tension entre des semi-conducteurs blocables et montés en série (2), la régulation se faisant toujours automatiquement selon l'état de fonctionnement le plus actuel.

Title: Dance shoe sole
Inventor: TERLIZZI JOHN
IPC: A43B5/12
Filed: 1996-10-15
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE     A dancer's shoe, slipper or the like having a stiff sole comprised of split front and rear soles separated at the arch.  To enable the dancer to stand on pointe, the front sole is "cup" shaped with a generally "C" shaped cross-section.  The upstanding wall of the front sole is attached to the sides and may extend up the front of the shoe box.  This enables the front sole to bend upward around an axis across the foot when the foot bends but prevents the front sole from bending downward around such an axis which enables the dancer to stand on pointe on the tip of the shoe.  The wall may be notched to facilitate bending at a particular location.  There may be a rear sole spaced from the front sole behind the arch.  To stiffen the shoe body, a toe box is provided in the front portion of the shoe upper.

Abstract: In an audio/video transmission system, a method of forming program guide information conducive to selective display at respective receivers includes arranging program guide information in different data blocks according to types of guide information. One such data block contains channel information (CSSMi) describing the respective channels. Respective CSSMi in this block include a channel information customer service system byte (CI-CSS) which contains conditional access information related to a channel associated with a CSSMi. In a receiver embodiment, a subscriber specific byte (CA-CSS) is stored (14) and accessible to program guide processing apparatus (8). Prior to displaying received program guide information for a particular channel, the subscriber byte CA-CSS is compared (17, 22) with the channel information byte CI-CSS in the program guide. Dependent upon the results of the comparison, the guide data for that particular channel is either displayed (19) or not displayed in the program guide.

Title: Electrical heater with junction box
Inventor: TOTH PETER R
IPC: H05B3/36
Filed: 1996-11-19
Abstract: A flexible electric heater may be formed from multiple congruent planar layers secured to one another to form a laminate in a variety of configurations. A junction box is adhered to the planar layers over an opening in an outer layer. An adhesive catchment area in the laminate is filled with adhesive, and the adhesive extends into the junction box where it fills a second adhesive catchment area. The mass of continuous adhesive thus formed seals and bonds the junction box to the flexible planar layers. Conductors from the electrical heater pass through the adhesive and may be strain relieved.

Title: Planar waveguides
Inventor: MAXWELL GRAEME DOUGLAS
IPC: G02B6/132
Filed: 1995-09-22
Abstract: Planar waveguides are produced by using radiation to write path regions into a photosensitive layer. Originally, the photosensitive layer had the same refractive index as the confining regions, e.g., it consists of silica doped with oxides of Ge and B. Composite path regions are produced by depositing a glass soot onto a partial region. On sintering the soot melts to fill up the empty spaces and thereby create a composite layer.

Title: Triaxial normal and shear force sensor
Inventor: GRAHN ALLEN R
IPC: G01L5/16
Filed: 1995-10-26
Abstract: A triaxial force sensor using a hemispherical target (60) supported by a compliant element such as a spring or an elastomer (416) supported by a rigid support member (402). The sensor includes a plurality of ultrasonic transducers (52) disposed in a plane at equal intervals about the target (60) and vertically and laterally offset from the target (60). The transducers (52) are orientated at an oblique angle to the plane, and aimed at the target (60) in its rest position. The target (60) is displaced by sufficient force applied to elastically deform the compliant element (416), which displacement alters the transit times of ultrasonic signals from the transducers (52) which are reflected from the target (60). If at least three sensor units are employed non-colinearly, the six force-torque components, Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz, can be determined from the pulse transmit times, the speed-of-sound in the medium or media (416) between the transducers (52) and the target (60), the deformation response of the compliant element (416), and the known geometry and spacing of the transducers (52). Pairs of transducers (52) may be rotationally offset from each other to determine different force-torque components. A plurality of sensors as described may be employed together in a multi-sensor array. An alternative embodiment employing both the amplitude and the transit time of an ultrasonic pulse is also disclosed.

Patent CA-2217069-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FAHY GREGORY M
IPC: A23G9/52
Filed: 1996-04-01
Abstract: L'invention concerne une configuration de dispersion des sites de liaison hydrogène sur une surface de glace qui est utilisée comme modèle pour la conception, la sélection et la fabrication d'interfaces dopants de la glace synthétique. Ces dopants d'interface sont des molécules qui, liées à la surface d'un cristal de glace inhibent l'incorporation de nouvelles molécules d'eau dans le cristal. Ils inhibent donc la croissance des cristaux de glace, la recristalisation et la sublimation. Ils peuvent aussi inhiber les agents de nucléation hétérogènes, et donc retarder voire empêcher la nucléation de la glace. Certaines structures dopantes permettent de réaliser des liaisons au sein de la glace presque parfaites, tout en étant parfaitement adaptables à toute une gamme d'applications spécialisées de liaison de la glace. L'orientation orbitale permet d'orienter les orbitales de paires isolées d'atomes de liaison de la glace dans le dopant d'interface et d'obtenir ainsi un alignement angulaire optimal avec les sites de liaisons complémentaires sur la glace.
