Patent CA-2676408-C (CA)
Inventor: WERBLIN THEODORE P
IPC: A61F2/16

Granted: 2015-03-31
Abstract: The present invention discloses a multi-component intraocular lens implanted in an optical system of a human eye, including one or more foldable removable components, each component being foldable. One component acts as a base lens, including a flange with an aperture or a slot. Another component acts as a mid lens and a third component acts as a top lens, which engages the mid lens. The top lens and mid lens may be joined to or integrated to form an optical assembly. The top lens, the mid lens or the optical assembly may include at least one projection that engages the slot of the base lens. A medical adhesive may be applied to an outer circumferential surface of the top lens to join the top lens to the mid lens or may be applied to a top surface of the top lens opposing a bottom surface of the mid lens. Because the lens components are foldable, they may be inserted into the eye using an incision smaller than the diameter of the unfolded lens. The removable components may be used to correct various medical conditions of the eye, as well as to improve and enhance vision, and for cosmetic purposes.

Abstract: A mass transit flooring assembly including a plurality of sandwich panels. The sandwich panels (30) include a top skin (54), a bottom skin (58), a perimeter defining closeout (46), and a core (50) between the top (54) and bottom skin (58) and within the closeout parameter (46). The closeout (46) includes mating surfaces used to connect adjacent panels. The core is a precured reinforced core including a plurality of phenolic ribs and foam strips positioned in an alternating fashion. The precured core is manufactured by impregnating a layer of fabric with phenolic resin between two foam cores and stacking in a similar alternating fashion to create a bun. After the bun is cured at a constant pressure and temperature and cooled, the bun is cut along a plane perpendicular to the plane of the layers to provide a precured reinforced core panel ready to be inserted as a core in a sandwich panel.

Abstract: Connectors for joining adjacent modular floor covering units. Embodiments of the connectors include a film and an adhesive layer coated on one side of the film. The connectors can have a conductive component that allows electrical continuity to be maintained between adjacent tiles. In yet another embodiment, the connectors can be equipped as radio frequency identification tags by including radio frequency transponders. To install tiles using the connectors, a first tile is placed on the floor and a connector is positioned so that the adhesive layer faces upward and does not contact the floor. The connector is typically positioned so that only a portion of the adhesive layer adheres to the underside of the tile, leaving the remainder of the connector extending from the underside of the tile. One or more tiles are then positioned adjacent the first tile so that a portion of the connector adheres to the adjacent tiles. In this way, the connectors span adjacent tile edges. The tiles are assembled on an underlying flooring surface without the need to attach them to the floor surface. Rather, the tiles are linked to each other with the connectors, so that the tiles create a floor covering that "floats" on the underlying floor surface. Additionally, the tiles need not be installed directly on the floor surface. Rather, an underlayment, such as a film or cushion or cushion composite, may be positioned on the floor surface prior to the installation of tiles.

Abstract: It is an object, in a wheel attachment unit holding a rotary encoder externally attached to a wheel, to certainly acquire an encoder output signal obtained from a rotating shaft of a tire, by reducing an occurrence of a bending deformation or breakage of a unit component (e.g., shaft) occurred during a vehicle run and making the encoder function normally. A shaft, through which there is passed a cable for outputting a measurement result of the encoder whose rotating shaft is connected to the wheel, is arranged offset from the axle center by a predetermined amount and is held by a bracket attached to the vehicle, to be movable in the up and down direction. Alternatively, a holder for holding a stator of the encoder is attached to the body of the vehicle, by a rotary linkage mechanism to hold rotatably with five degrees of rotational freedom.

Abstract: A flexible packaging laminate has built-in opening/reclose and tamper-evidence features by forming the laminate from an outer structure (10) joined in face-to-face relation to an inner structure (42). Score lines (52,62) are formed in both structures to enable an opening to be formed through the laminate by lifting a flap or the like out of the plane of the laminate. The score line through the outer structure defines a larger opening than the score line through the inner structure, such that a marginal region of the outer structure extends beyond the edge of the opening portion of the inner structure. A pressure-sensitive adhesive (20) is used to re-adhere the marginal region to an underlying surface of the inner structure adjacent the opening through the laminate.  The outer score line (52) includes at least one tear portion that is torn through upon initial opening, thus indicating the package has been at least partially opened.
