Patent CA-2401446-C (CA)
Title: Electric egg cooker
Inventor: DAMRATH JOACHIM
IPC: A47J29/00
Filed: 2001-02-20
Granted: 2007-10-30
Abstract: When eggs are boiled in an electric egg boiler there is the risk that egg content escapes through openings in the shell and dirties the appliance. The aim of the invention is to provide easy maintenance and to easily clean the dirty components in such a case. According to prior art, the electric components (2, 6, 10, 11) cannot be easily cleaned.  According to the invention, all electric components (2, 6, 10, 11) of the egg boiler are arranged above the position of the eggs (1) in such a way that essentially and only the mechanic components which are situated next to or below said eggs (1) become dirty, whereby said eggs (1) are to be boiled and said mechanic components can be removed in an advantageous manner and are optionally dish washer proof. Maintenance of an electric egg boiler is thus essentially simplified.

Title: An over-voltage protection circuit for use in a charging circuit
Inventor: SCHAAFF CARL D
IPC: H02H9/04
Filed: 2002-09-27
Granted: 2008-04-01
Abstract: An over-voltage protection circuit is disclosed herein for protection against over-voltage of an energy storage device while charging. The circuit operates within the operational limits of a battery-operated device, such as a mobile or handheld device. The over-voltage protection circuit comprises an over-voltage protection device, and an over- voltage protection controller. The controller allows current to flow to the over- voltage protection device only when an energy storage device is experiencing over-voltage. In allowing current to flow to the over-voltage protection device only when the voltage across the energy storage device is above a predetermined voltage, power conservation is achieved

Abstract: A product display shelving assembly is provided for displaying products to retail customers. The shelving assembly includes a pair of shelves in which one of the shelves is suspended from the other by a plurality of suspension pieces. Because the suspended shelf does not require a dedicated horizontal support member, a higher proportion of the shelving assembly's frontal area can be used for displaying products as compared to many types of conventional display shelving. More products can be thus displayed in a given space, less inventory needs to be warehoused and customers can shop more conveniently. The product display may be embodied in new shelving assemblies or conventional display shelving assemblies can be upgraded to accept the improved shelves.

Patent CA-2445510-C (CA)
Inventor: SMITH LOUIS J
IPC: A61N1/39
Filed: 2002-04-25
Granted: 2007-07-24
Abstract: An implantable electrode provided with a thin, porous, wettable polymeric covering (30). The electrode covering of the present invention tightly conforms to the external profile of an electrode (24), which minimizes air gaps and voids. The electrode covering (30) is relatively thin, preferably less than 0.13 mm thick, and is treated to enhance rapid wetting by bodily fluids. The combination of minimal air gaps, tight conformance to the electrode, wettability and porosity of the thin covering, allows repeated, high energy electrical discharges to be transmitted without significant bubble formation, sparking or degradation of the covering. In addition, the electrode covering (30) of the present invention has pore sizes tailored to minimize cellular ingrowth and tissue attachment thereby allowing a less traumatic removal of the electrode after implantation if extraction becomes necessary, for example due to infection or electrode dislodgment.

Title: Utilisation de plants d'eclaircissage et d'autre bois de faible densite dans une methode de production de pates a base de fibres lyocell
Inventor: SEALEY JAMES E II
IPC: D21C3/02
Filed: 2003-12-12
Granted: 2008-01-29
Abstract: L'utilisation de bois de faible densité provenant d'opérations d'éclaircissage, par exemple, va produire une pâte brune de viscosité inférieure pour un indice kappa cible donné. Un différentiel de viscosité de pulpe à bille de 200 cP a été détecté dans des cuiseurs Kraft de bois de densité faible et élevée. L'utilisation de bois de faible densité peut réduire la température de l'étape de blanchiment et de la dose chimique nécessaire à l'usine de blanchiment pour produire des pâtes à base de fibres lyocell. Le bois à faible densité augmente également la capacité de réduire la viscosité de pâte à des niveaux très faibles sans pour autant augmenter l'indice de cuivre de la pâte ou la concentration de carbonyle dans la pâte au-dessus des niveaux acceptables.
