Patent CA-2620805-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CEBIS MARTIN JOHN PETER
IPC: H04Q7/00
Filed: 2005-08-30
Abstract: An automated process control system (100) and method includes a controller (101) and a number of peripheral devices (104) that are controlled by the controller (101). The devices are located in a number of environments and sub-environments. The devices, environments, and sub-environments are organised in hierarchies and each device has an associated hierarchical identifier, which depends upon the environment in which the device is located. If the environment changes then so does the associated identifier. The controller is operable to determine when an environment changes and to implement any control actions that may be required by the change in the environment. The identifier for devices can also be linked to users of the system to define dependencies between the devices and users. Properties for the devices can therefore be linked to the users through the identifier, thus enabling multiple users to access the same devices.

Inventor: SAMUELS RUDY LUCAS
IPC: A63C13/00
Filed: 2007-01-18
Abstract: A binding for a snowshoe has, in several different embodiments, a pair of straps to draw the binding tight over a user's boot, the two straps reversing direction at side loop points and being secured to a pair of buckles on a floating tongue at the top of the binding, generally over the ball area of the foot. In one form the straps are anchored at toe points on the binding and extend back in a crossing, X configuration, as in Patent No. 6,814,36 0. In another form the straps are shorter and do not cross, the forward ends being replaced with toe- cradling strap- like members that extend up and back and come together at a pivot connection with a tongue, in this case a shorter tongue, to which the two buckles are connected. The binding tends to open with release of the straps. In a third form the tongue is a larger, padded X-shaped flexible member under which the boot is slid to engage the binding1.  Front elements provide a hinged, springing action that lifts the tongue off the boot, opening the binding, when the two buckles are, released. A modular footbed is also disclosed, capable of receiving a series of different front ends for different bindings.
