Patent CA-2688643-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BATEMAN ROBERT
IPC: G01N27/18
Filed: 2009-12-16
Abstract: The present invention provides a probe apparatus and method as described below for use as a non-destructive testing (NDT) device to detect and locate structural flaws in a composite laminate. In preferred embodiments, the method includes measuring effective thermal conductivity (Ke) of the laminate using one contact surface, non-invasively. The device is preferably portable and battery-operated. The thermal conductivity method on which the device is based is much simpler to use than the known devices for NDT and allows the utilization of a direct correlation between thermal conductivity and mechanical strength in the case of polymer composites. The device may also be used for process control in manufacturing and monitoring materials in service.

Abstract: A loupe and lighting assembly for enhancing detection of dust particles on the optical sensor of a digital camera.  The assembly is made of a cylindroid hollow-centered main frame body, into which is fixed a loupe lens. A battery housing is joined to the body in order to supply electrical power to a LED array. The LED array is made from a plurality of LED diodes mounted peripherally and around the inside of the cylindroid body, being tilted at an acute angle from the axis orthogonal to the plane of the cylindroid body so that all diodes axially converge toward a single focal point, at a certain distance from the main frame body. The dust particles scattered upon the sensor become clearly visible to an observer looking through the assembly when the dust particles location coincide with the LED common focal point.

Inventor: NOMMENSEN DANIEL
IPC: B60G17/08
Filed: 2010-01-29
Abstract: An air suspension control apparatus for a vehicle is disclosed. The apparatus includes a charge tank which is selectively connected to a source of pressurized air maintained at a first air pressure such that selective filling of the charge tank with compressed air is permitted. A tank air valve is operably disposed between the source of pressurized air and the charge tank. The tank air valve is selectively movable between a first disposition and a second disposition thereof. A  ride height air valve is operably connected to the tank air valve and to the source of pressurized air. The ride height air valve is selectively movable between a first setting and a second setting thereof. A control device is operably connected to the tank air valve for controlling movement of the tank air valve between the first and the second dispositions thereof. The arrangement is such that, in the first disposition of the tank air valve, the charge tank is maintained at a second air pressure which is less than the first air pressure. When the tank air valve is in the second disposition thereof, the charge tank is maintained at the first air pressure.  The control device is operably connected to the ride height air valve for controlling movement of the ride height air valve between the first and the second settings thereof. An air spring is operatively connected to the tank air valve and to the ride height air valve. The arrangement is such that, in a first mode of operation of the air suspension control apparatus, the tank air valve is in the first disposition thereof and the ride height air valve is in the first setting thereof so that the air spring is maintained at the second pressure for supporting and suspending the vehicle when the vehicle is driven. The ride height air valve maintains the air spring and the charge tank at the second air pressure. In a second mode of operation of the air suspension control apparatus, the tank air valve is in the second disposition thereof and the ride height air valve is in the second setting thereof such that the air spring is maintained at a third pressure, the third pressure being lower than the second pressure so that the vehicle is lowered for facilitating access to the vehicle while the air pressure within the charge tank is increased from the second air pressure to the first air pressure. In a third mode of operation of the air suspension control apparatus, the tank air valve is in the first disposition thereof and the ride height air valve is in the first setting thereof. The arrangement is such that the first pressure within the charge tank rapidly inflates the air spring from the third pressure to the second pressure so that driving of the vehicle is permitted. The first setting of the ride height air valve subsequently restores the charge tank to the second pressure

Patent CA-2704897-A1 (CA)
Title: Aircraft equipment support
Inventor: PINKAL DONALD R
IPC: B64D11/00
Filed: 2010-05-20
Abstract: An equipment support for attaching equipment to an aircraft comprises a gripper foot having a T-shaped slot that engages a track mounted to the aircraft floor. The gripper foot is mounted to a trunnion mount that enables the gripper foot to rotate freely about a vertical axis so that the gripper foot can negotiate curves along a non-linear track. The trunnion mount is mounted to the equipment support frame by means of a horizontal pivot. The horizontal pivot is held against rotation below a predetermined load by a torque-resisting element. If the floor track is warped, for example during a crash, the twisting loads transmitted from the floor track to the gripper foot overcome the torque-resisting element, which allows the trunnion mount and gripper foot to rotate with the floor track thereby allowing the gripper foot to remain attached to the track without imparting excessive loads on the track, gripper foot, or equipment support frame.

Title: Service differentiation and service level agreements for wireless access clients
Inventor: KANODIA SACHIN
IPC: H04L47/20
Filed: 2009-01-13
Abstract: Differentiated services are provided through service level agreements (SLAs) between access nodes and some of the clients using a wireless access network. Client devices include internal devices that are compliant with service-related specifi-cations published by the access nodes. Client devices also may include non-compliant external and legacy devices, as well as out-side interferers. The access nodes control target SLAs for each client device. The access nodes and the internal client devices per-form rate limiting to ensure that a device's target SLA is adhered to. The service-related specifications include schedules to ensure preferential access for preferred internal client devices. The internal client devices send usage and bandwidth availability feedback to the access node they are associated with, enabling the access node to come up with better schedules for meeting the preferred internal devices' SLAs in view of the network conditions reported via the feedback.

Patent CA-2712951-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LATINA MARK A
IPC: C12Q1/04
Filed: 2009-01-21
Abstract: The invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery that if a tissue is irradiated with a sublethal dose of radia-tion, e.g., from a laser, that pigmented cells in the tissue are selectively stimulated to proliferate and to produce higher levels of certain mitogenic factors and growth factors such as platelet derived growth factor (PDGF). In particular, the various parameters of a pulsed laser beam, such as power, pulse duration, total radiation energy ('fluence'), wavelength, and if multiple pulses are used, the pulse rate and total number of pulses, are carefully selected and controlled to minimize killing the irradiated pigmented cells.

Abstract: A universal transitional abut-ment for immediate placement during the first and/or second stages of the dental implant surgery is presented. The transitional dental abutment can approximate the natural appear-ance of a patient's own tooth. The transitional dental abutment can bypass the traditional anti-rotational component common to most dental implant systems by directly screwing the transi-tional dental abutment onto a dental implant. In another embodiment, the abutment can be a universal anterior transitional abutment. The anterior transitional dental abutment can com-prise a ball and a crown. The ball can be af-fixed to the dental implant and the crown snaps onto the ball. The transitional dental abutment can be universally used on most dental im-plants regardless of manufacturer by simply changing the fastener of the transitional dental abutment. The universal transitional abutments can be permanent. Additionally, the universal transitional abutments can be readily available and cost effective to the dental professional.
