Title: Improved range hood motor housing and fan connector
Inventor: YEUNG PETER
IPC: F24C15/20
Filed: 2003-01-16
Abstract: A range hood having an improved grease collecting motor housing and improved fan and motor connection. Housing openings are defined by circular walls projecting vertically into the housing acting to collect grease within the housing. A flange depends radially outwardly from, and at an angle to, the circular wall. Air entering the housing via the fan deflects off the flange and prevents turbulent air within the housing from exiting the housing in the space located between the circular wall and the fan. The fan connection is comprised of a threaded recess in a shaft of the motor and a fan cap having a threaded bolt. The shaft is inserted through an aperture in the fan and the fan cap threadingly connected to it. A tray attachable to the housing, and defining an air intake opening has an improved mating relationship with a lower panel of the range hood.

Patent CA-2423892-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SINGH DIAL
IPC: G01B3/08
Filed: 2003-04-04
Abstract: The AngleMaster is a measurment tool used to assist a person in acquiring precise measurements for making simple or complex cuts to a variety of materials. This tool can be extended and flexed so as to fit into the space for which a measurement is sought. For example, if you wish to attach a piece of wood between two posts, you need to measure the exact distance between two posts as well as the exact angle at which this piece of wood needs to be cut to fit properly between these two posts. This tool extends itself to the exact length between the posts, and then the adjustable wings move to the exact angle to meet these posts. These measurements can then be locked onto the tool, thereby providing extremely precise two dimensional measurements in an extremely effortless manor. It eliminates any costly measurement mistakes, by providing the user with the exact sized sample of the finished product in 3 easy steps that take 30 seconds to perform. The sliding arms then retract into the main body making the tool a compact, easy to carry item.

Title: Credit report retrieval system including voice-based interface
Inventor: DANAHER JOHN THOMAS
IPC: G06Q20/16
Filed: 2003-04-01
Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems providing a voice-based interface to credit report retrieval systems allowing users to order credit report data using a telephone or similar device. The present invention provides novel functionality and process flows directed to handling a request from a caller for a credit report, while providing a secure and easy-to-use voice interface. In one embodiment, the functionality associated with the present invention allows a customer to access his/her credit score via a telephone or other suitable voice-based device, and have a credit report mailed to his/her address. The use of a voice interface, instead of a traditional graphical user interface associated with web-based services accessible over a client computer, marks a departure from traditional credit reporting product channels and provides an opportunity to access a large market of consumers who do not regularly access the Internet. In one embodiment, the present invention further provides a novel authentication methodology, especially adapted to telephone network devices and other interfaces having limited text entry capabilities, that minimizes the opportunity for malicious users to glean authenticating information; i.e, personal information presumably known to an individual that may be used to authenticate identity.

Patent CA-2432714-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCCALLEY STEVE
IPC: F24H3/00
Filed: 2003-06-18
Abstract: A portable heater comprises a housing, a heating element, and a fuel supply. The fuel supply is preferably a liquid gas type wherein a valve assembly meters the gas to the heating element. A regulator is used to regulate flow of gas from the fuel source, and a connector assembly rotatably interconnects the regulator to the valve assembly. This rotatable connection allows the fuel source, typically in the form of a gas bottle, to be rotated away from the housing for easier removal and replacement of the gas bottle. Rotation of the regulator can be supported by use of a bracket which is attached to the regulator.
