Title: Water treatment apparatus system and method
Inventor: MUSSON ANDREW PETER
IPC: C02F1/48
Filed: 2006-09-13
Abstract: This invention relates to a water treatment apparatus, system, and method for treating potable or drinkable water in an open or closed body of water including water in a reservoir, river, tank or chamber or lake and the like. The treatment systems, methods and apparatus utilise electrostatic fields to remove contaminants such as inorganic dissolved solids and the like present in the water. The treatment apparatus includes an active electrode which is configured and arranged in the water and energised or electrostatically charged with a sufficient negative electrostatic voltage charge to induce an electrostatic field in the water.  The resulting electrostatic field causes contaminants such as inorganic dissolved cations and anions in the water effected by the induced charge to diffuse and group toward the cathode and anode points of charge respectively in the field and allow bonding and subsequent removal of such cations and anions.

Abstract: A bumper assembly for use at a loading dock comprises a resiliently compressible pad protected by a readily replaceable metal faceplate. The bumper assembly has certain metal components that move relative to each other as the bumper assembly is compressed by a vehicle backing into the dock. Those metal components are spaced apart from each other to avoid metal-to-metal frictional wear. In some cases, the compressible pad ha s internal cavities that help reduce the extent to which the core bulges under compression.

Patent CA-2574549-A1 (CA)
Title: System and method for monitoring driving
Inventor: FLEISHMAN HOD
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2005-06-01
Abstract: A system and method for analyzing and evaluating the performance and attitude of a motor vehicle driver. A raw data stream from a set of vehicle sensors is filtered to eliminate extraneous noise, and then parsed to convert the stream into a string of driving event primitives. The string of driving events is then processed by a pattern-recognition system to derive a sequence of higher-level driving maneuvers. Driving maneuvers include such familiar procedures as lane changing, passing, and turn and brake. Driving events and maneuvers are quantified by parameters developed from the sensor data. The parameters and timing of the maneuvers can be analyzed to determine skill and attitude factors for evaluating the driver's abilities and safety ratings. The rendering of the data into common driving-related concepts allows more accurate and meaningful analysis and evaluation than is possible with ordinary statistical threshold-based analysis.

Title: Polyaxial bone screw with helically wound capture connection
Inventor: JACKSON ROGER P
IPC: A61B17/56
Filed: 2005-10-04
Abstract: A polyaxial bone screw assembly includes a threaded shank body having an upper capture structure, a head and a closed retainer ring. The external capture structure surface and retainer ring internal bore surface are both threaded for rotatable attachment within a cavity of the head. The U-shaped head defines a channel for receiving a spinal fixation rod. The head channel communicates with the cavity with a restrictive opening allowing for loading the capture structure into the head but preventing passage of the closed retainer ring out of the head. The retainer ring has an external substantially spherical surface that mates with an internal surface of the head, providing a ball joint, enabling the head to be disposed at an angle relative to the shank body. The threaded capture structure or the closed retainer structure includes a tool engagement formation and gripping surfaces for non-slip engagement by a tool.

Title: Device and method for photodynamic therapy of the nasopharyngeal cavity
Inventor: TAN BING
IPC: A61N5/06
Filed: 2005-11-17
Abstract: A device/system and method for the delivery of light to the nasopharyngeal cavity in a controlled and reproducible mariner using at least one optical fiber having a linear diffusing tip, a spherical diffusing tip, or a bare cut end is disclosed. A positioning device may have one or two flexible guide tubes that are attached to a preformed shaped base that is introduced into the nasopharyngeal cavity to guide and position the optical fibers and/or detector(s). The optical fibers are enclosed within shielding tubes which are inserted into the guide tubes. The optical fibers may be further moved within the shielding tube so as to adjust the amount of output light. Also included within the guide tube is a light detector that monitors, detects, and measures the delivery of fluence rates to pre-determined locations in the nasopharyngeal cavity. The detector may also be enclosed within a separate tube within the guide tube. The inventive device/system also has a means of shielding pre-selected areas of the nasopharyngeal cavity or adjacent tissues from the light delivered by the optical fibers. The system of the present invention uses a control unit and preselected treatment parameters to monitor, regulate, and display laser output and fluence rates at preselected locations in the nasopharyngeal cavity during PDT treatment.

Title: Refrigeration system having adjustable refrigeration capacity
Inventor: LESAGE GAETAN
IPC: F25B49/02
Filed: 2007-07-12
Abstract: A subcooling heat exchanger and subcooling expansion valve in a refrigeration system provide subcooling of a pre-subcooled portion, for refrigerating a thermal load, of condensed refrigerant liquid by a pre-subcooling portion of the condensed refrigerant liquid. The amount of subcooling of the pre-subcooled portion is determined by measuring, with a pressure sensor, refrigerating suction pressure exerted by refrigerating compressors of the system. A  controller then controls, based on the refrigerating suction pressure, modulation of mass of pre-subcooling portion, relative pre-subcooled portion, and expansion thereof in the subcooling expansion valve, which controls the amount of refrigerant heat exchanged, and therefore subcooling of pre-subcooled portion, between the pre-subcooling portion and the pre-subcooled portion in the subcooling heat exchanger. The pre-subcooling portion is then subsequently compressed by a subcooling compressor.

Abstract: A device to help a disabled individual carry his or her bag or storage unit on their wheelchair, without requiring a large space to deploy the storage and retrieval product. The invention consists of a set of arms, connected to a belt-driven sliding mechanism along a track. When the user wishes to access his or her belongings, the bag slides from a storage position behind the wheelchair to a retrieval position perpendicular to the wheelchair's armrest. The deployment process is accomplished without rotating the entire mechanism around a central axis. Thus, the invention keeps the storage unit close to the wheelchair and therefore takes up less space during retrieval and increases stability during deployment.
