Patent CA-2329773-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DOLAN MARISA A
IPC: A63H3/28
Filed: 1999-07-21
Abstract: A generally circular flat housing (10) supports a handle (12), a pivotable lever (21), and a base portion (13). At the circular portion of the housing, a ring of character segments (31) each having a visually depicted character (41) thereon are supported. A pointer (60) is rotatably supportable upon the housing and is movable to point to a selected one of the characters. A character image (63) is supported on a circular plate (62) at the center of the housing and includes apparatus for moving face components (64, 66) to simulate the speaking action of the image character. An electronic sound module of conventional design is supported within the interior of the housing and is provided with speech or phrase selections by a rotating multiple segment contact pad set together with a pair of contact brushes. When the pivotally mounted handle is pulled down, a gear drive mechanism is configured for operation and energy is stored in a return spring.  When the handle is released, the energy within the stored spring draws the handle upwardly in a slow travel which further drives the gear mechanism for animating the character face and which triggers the production of sound from the sound module.

Title: Method and device for completely correcting visual defects of the human eye
Inventor: MAUSEZAHL HOLGER
IPC: A61F9/007
Filed: 2000-08-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for completely correcting visual defects of the human eye. The invention mentions combinations of measuring and treatment methods that allow the complete correction of defect s of the human eye if applied according to the invention. Measuring methods ar e used that precisely detect the surface of the cornea and that also register the aberrations that occur in the beam path up to the retina. The computer- assisted evaluation of these measurement results combined with the calculati on of optimally corrected lenses (for example after a cataract operation) or of  optimally correcting cornea surfaces makes it possible to produce a patient- specific lens and/or to shape the retina so that it optimally corrects the aberration. To this end, the invention preferably uses a spot scanning excim er laser system and makes use of the topography of the eye.

Abstract: A multiple channel purification system (10) for purifying a plurality of samples from a chemical library. The system (10) uses chromatography, and preferably, super critical fluid chromatography. Four parallel channels are coupled to a common analyzer (16), such as a mass spectometer and a computer  (18). Samples in each channel pass through an SFC column (32) to separate th e sample, a UV detector (34) to detect sample peaks within the sample flow, a micro sample valve (38) to split a portion of the sample to the common analyzer (16), and a fraction collection valve (43). While the remainder of the sample continues to the fraction collection valve (43), the mass spectrometer (16) analyzes the split portion to determine if a target compou nd is within the sample portion. The fraction collection valve (43) directs the  sample portions to one of two fraction collectors (22, 24) depending on targ et compound pressence.

Title: Toolpath generator
Inventor: LERMUZEAUX ETIENNE
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2001-06-08
Abstract: A method and system for generating a path to be followed by a cutting tool in a milling situation. Using a novel geometric concept suited to a milling situation called "focal areas," a toolpath is generated in which the cutting tool remains in constant contact with material to be cut, thus minimizing wear and shock loading of the tool. In addition, the toolpath is optimized so as to trace a short path, thereby minimizing cutting time. The toolpath generator is particularly useful in high speed milling applications.

Patent CA-2355192-A1 (CA)
Title: Packet data communication system
Inventor: TYMES LAROY
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1991-09-12
Abstract: A packet data transmission system is used to link a number of remote hand-held data-gathering units such as bar code readers to a central computer which maintains a database management system. Data packets are sent from the remote units by an RF link to intermediate base stations, then sent by the base stations to the central computer by a serial link. A method of selecting a frequency channel for RF window packet data communication is described. The method includes: (a) receiving signals by the base station on other channels different from an initially selected channel and producing a value for each of the other channels indicative of the RF energy level in such channel (i.e. to identify a channel having the lowest RF  energy level); (b) producing a value indicative of the transmission error rate in the initial one of the channels and (c) if the transmission error rate exceeds a threshold, sending a message from the base station to each of the remote terminals directing that transmission and reception of data packets between the base station and the remote terminals will change to the identified channel.
