Inventor: MARKS JOEL S
IPC: B25C5/00
Filed: 2008-03-24
Abstract: A spring energized stapler includes a "high-start" design wherein a striker has an initial rest position above the staple track. A handle is pressed to energize a power spring while the striker remains stationary. At a predetermined position of the handle, the striker is released to eject a staple. A subassembly of a cage and the power spring provides a preload to the power spring in the rest position. The subassembly is separately movable from the handle to allow a handle pressing end to move farther than a cage front end travel distance. A lever links the striker to the power spring to provide leverage upon the power spring. The lever and cage/spring subassembly are nested in a compact assembly. A safety lock includes a two step action to restrict motion of the striker, and fits a notch in a bottom of the striker.
Patent CA-2692999-A1 (CA)
Title: Bias generator providing for low power, self-biased delay element and delay line
Inventor: VLASENKO PETER A
IPC: H03K5/14
Filed: 2008-06-12
Abstract: An improved bias generator incorporates a reference voltage and/or a reference current into the generation of bias voltages. In some cases, the output of a biased delay element has a constant voltage swing. A delay line of such constant output voltage swing delay elements may be shown to provide reduced power consumption compared to some known self-biased delay lines. Furthermore, in other cases, careful selection of parameters for providing the reference voltage and/or providing the reference current to a novel bias generator allows a delay line of delay elements biased by such a novel bias generator to show reduced sensitivity to operating conditions, reduced sensitivity to variation in process parameters and improved signal quality, thereby providing more robust operation.

Abstract: Ce procédé permet de fabriquer un bouchon (1 ) à partir d'une jupe tubulaire (12) apte à entourer un col de récipient et munie à la fois de moyens de retenue à demeure autour du col et de moyens de fixation amovible au col. Suivant ce procédé, on entraîne l'une par rapport à l'autre la jupe et une lame (110) en rotation autour de l'axe (X-X) de la jupe de telle sorte que cette lame découpe dans la jupe une ligne périphérique d'affaiblissement comprenant des entailles traversantes et, entre ces entailles suivant la périphérie de la jupe, des pontets frangibles qui relient, suivant la direction de l'axe, une partie non amovible de la jupe, munie des moyens de retenue, et une partie amovible de la jupe, munie des moyens de fixation. En vue d'améliorer de manière simple et économique le procédé, on prévoit d'entraîner en rotation la jupe et la lame l'une par rapport sur une course angulaire strictement supérieure à 360° tout en modifiant progressivement la position axiale relative entre la jupe et la lame suivant une translation axiale (T). La ligne d'affaiblissement présente ainsi la forme d'une hélice dont les deux extrémités périphériques délimitent entre elles un brin non frangible reliant en permanence les parties amovible et non amovible de la jupe.
