Patent CA-2293402-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GALLAGHER MICHAEL J
IPC: B60R21/216
Filed: 1998-05-28
Abstract: An apparatus for deploying an airbag (24) through an automotive dash panel (12) includes an airbag door (16) integrally formed in the panel (12) and defined by a frangible edge (18) of reduced cross section. A dispenser (20) supports the air bag (24) behind the door (16). A metal reaction plate (28) is positioned between the air bag (24) and the door (16). When the air bag (24) inflates it forces the reaction plate (28) to bend around a hinge line (36).  As the reaction plate (28) rotates it concentrates inflation force along a lower portion of the frangible door edge (18). At least one tether (50) limits how far the door (16) can travel.

Title: An authentication and tracking system for a cellular telephone
Inventor: PAXSON DANA W
IPC: H04W4/90
Filed: 1998-07-09
Abstract: A system and method that uses an advanced positioning system in combination with a cellular communication network to improve the performance of the network is disclosed. The system is capable of receiving an identification number for a mobile unit as well as a location code. In order to determine if the mobile unit is a fraudulent user of the cellular communication network, the system compares the location code with a previously received location code. Since there are natural physical constraints on how quickly a mobile unit can move from one location to another, the system can thereby determine if there are two mobile units using the same identification number. If so, then one is likely a fraudulent user. In addition, the system is capable of assisting the mobile unit by providing the location code to a third party.  This is especially beneficial for emergency dispatcher services since, due to the very nature of mobile units, the user of the mobile unit may not know his precise location.

Patent CA-2298187-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DENKIN NATHAN MYRON
IPC: H02J9/06
Filed: 2000-02-07
Abstract: The monitoring of regulated redundant power supplies is enhanced by returning to each power supply a feedback (sensed) voltage signal that is indicative of the voltage level that the respective power supply is outputting and the voltage level supplied to a system load. In one embodiment, a feedback signal that is supplied to a power supply as the sensed signal is derived using a voltage divider network across the output of the power supply and the common connection at which the outputs of the power supplies are "Ored" for delivery to the system load. A power supply then regulates its output voltage as a function of the level of the feedback signal and the level of a respective preset signal.

Title: A speculum
Inventor: TAN ERIC GAY CHEE
IPC: A61B1/31
Filed: 1998-09-09
Abstract: A speculum (10) includes a main body (12) with two dilator fingers (14A and 14B) that are connected at their respective proximal ends (16A and 16B) to the main body (12). A further dilator finger (28) extends between the fingers (14A and 14B) and is fixed to the main body (12). An actuator (20) is pivotally coupled to the main body (12).

Inventor: LOPATIN SERGEJ
IPC: G01F23/28
Filed: 2000-06-06
Abstract: The invention proposes a method for continuous level measurement on containers, according to which a sequence of a~ mode Lamb wave pulses is initiated in the container wall (1) by means of a Lamb wave excitor (6) arranged on it, and the propagation time difference (.DELTA.T) between the propagation time (T2) of these a~ mode Lamb wave pulses between the Lamb wave excitor (6) and a Lamb wave receiver (7) (which is arranged at a distance from it on the container wall (1)) for the current level in the container (4), and the propagation time (T1) when the container (4) is empty, is determined, and this is used to derive the current level, which is directly proportional to this propagation time difference (.DELTA.T).        Since a~ mode Lamb waves which are initiated in a container wall experience a change in their propagation time between two defined points when a different medium comes into contact with the container wall, the method according to the invention allows continuous monitoring of the level on containers, to be precise with high accuracy.

Title: Manufacturing process for iron-carbon-manganese alloy strips, and strips produced thereby
Inventor: GUELTON NICOLAS
IPC: C22C38/60
Filed: 2000-07-06
Abstract: 1.5-10 mm-thick strip is cast from molten metal containing (in wt. %) C 0.001-1.6; Mn 6-30, Ni ≤ 10 and (Mn+Ni) 16-30; Si ≤ 2.5; Al ≤ 6; Cr ≤ 10; (P+Sn+Sb+As) ≤ 0.2; (S+Se+Te) ≤ 0.5; (V+Ti+Nb+B+Zr+rare earths) ≤ 0.3%; (Mo+W) ≤ 0.5%; N ≤ 0.3%; Cu ≤ 5%; and Fe and production impurities. After cold rolling to 10-90% reduction in one or more stages, recrystallization annealing is carried out. Preferably, the content of carbon in the molten metal is 0.2-0.8 wt.%. The strip is obtained by rolling between two closely located, horizontal cylinders which rotate in opposite directions and are internally cooled. Between the casting and rolling stages the strip is hot rolled to 10-60 % reduction in one or more stages, and between the casting and hot rolling stages the strip is passed through a non-oxidizing zone. Before the hot rolling stage the strip is subjected to decarbonization. The strip is coiled after casting or hot rolling and uncoiled before cold rolling. Acidic pickling of the strip is preferably carried out before cold rolling. Recrystallization annealing comprises a high density annealing process carried out at 900-1100 degrees C, immediately followed by cooling at a rate of 100-6000 degrees C/second. The strip is pickled after the annealing stage, followed by a skin-pass stage. An Independent claim is given for the an iron-carbon-manganese strip produced by the above process.
