Patent CA-2217470-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NEAL GRIFF D
IPC: H02K5/22
Filed: 1996-04-03
Abstract: An electrical motor and the process for forming that motor utilizes injection molding techniques to unitize the stator assembly. The stator assembly (21) includes a stator lamination stack (27) and preferably a metal front end cap (26) which is secured to the lamination stack (27) after the lamination stack is insulated and wound. The windings are terminated at a plurality of conductive pins (94) fusion welded to the terminating ends of the windings. The stator assembly (21) with front end cap (26) in place is positioned in an injection molding die. Pressure is applied to the die, and molten plastic is injected under pressure to fill voids in the stator assembly, and also to form a plastic mass which will serve as the rear end cap (25). The rear end cap (25) is also molded with a connector portion (41) which fixes the conductive pins (94) in place as a part of the connector. A bore (30) formed in the stator assembly provides mounting surfaces (31, 32) for bearings (23, 24) on a rotor assembly (20).

Title: Wheelchair lift with wheelchair barrier ground interlock mechanism
Inventor: COHN ALAN R
IPC: A61G3/06
Filed: 1997-12-30
Abstract: A platform-type wheelchair lift for mounting in the stairwell of a vehicle, suchas a bus or train. The wheelchair lift includes a platform frame that is movable from a retracted position in which it is stowed underneath the vehicle to an extended position in which it extends out from the side or back of the vehicle. A wheelchair platform is movably coupled to the platform frame by a parallelogram linkage that allows thewheelchair platform to move between a lowered and a raised position. The wheelchair platform includes foldable outer and inner wheelchair barriers that prevent a wheelchair from moving off of the wheelchair platform during operation of the wheelchair lift. The wheelchair platform also includes a mechanical ground interlock mechanism. The ground interlock mechanism is moveable between an unlocked and a locked position. The ground interlock mechanism is in an unlocked position when the wheelchair platform is touching the ground. In the unlocked position, the groundinterlock mechanism allows the outer barrier to move between an upright barrier position, and a fully extended position in which a wheelchair may be maneuvered onto or off of the wheelchair platform. When the wheelchair platform is not in contact with the ground, the ground interlock mechanism moves into a locked position in which the outer barrier is prevented from moving between the upright position and the fully extended position.

Title: Trawl system cell design and methods
Inventor: PEREVOSHCHIKOV VALENTIN G
IPC: A01K73/02
Filed: 1996-10-11
Abstract: A mesh cell construction which is systemized wherein opposite mesh bars of the rectangularly shaped mesh cell have a common lay direction when viewed in an axially receding direction (either right-handed or left-handed lay) that is opposite to that associated with the remaining opposite mesh bars of such mesh cell. In another aspect, when incorporated in a trawl (13), such cell construction of the invention provides for improved shaping and performance of the trawl (13) wherein the mesh cells of different geometrical locations positioned relative to and about the longitudinal axis of the trawl can be controlled such that resulting trawl panels wings (25) act analogous to a series of mini-wings capable of acting in concert in operation. Such concerted action provides, when the trawl is in motion, outwardly directed force vectors which significantly increase the trawl volume and hence mouth (26) volume while simultaneously decreasing drag.

IPC: H04N7/169
Filed: 1996-10-17
Abstract: Dans un procédé connu de protection contre la copie, destiné à empêcher l'enregistrement de signaux vidéo, il existe des impulsions de pseudo-synchronisation et des impulsions CAG (fig. 2) sur des lignes prédéterminées à l'intérieur des intervalles de suppression du signal vidéo, de façon que tous les enregistrements ultérieurs du signal vidéo sur bande vidéo donnent une image de faible qualité récréative. On peut rendre inopérant ce procédé de protection contre la copie en localisant d'abord les lignes vidéo qui contiennent la protection à l'aide des salves de couleur ou chrominance dans l'intervalle de suppression horizontal, afin de procéder à la détection directe (fig. 4). Puis on modifie certaines lignes ou toutes les lignes contenant des signaux de protection contre la copie, de façon à rendre enregistrable le signal vidéo général. On peut réaliser cette modification de plusieurs manières, en particulier par décalage de gain de certaines zones du signal vidéo, par décalage de niveau de certaines zones du signal vidéo, par limitation de la largeur de bande de certaines zones du signal vidéo, ou par remplacement de certaines zones du signal vidéo par d'autres éléments vidéo (fig. 8).

Title: Method of accessing a target entity over a communications network
Inventor: SEABORNE ANDREW FRANKLIN
IPC: H04M7/12
Filed: 1996-12-11
Abstract: A method of accessing a target entity over a communications network employs a distributed database system similar to the DNS of the Internet; indeed the DNS may be used as the required distributed database. The distributed database stores records each associated with a corresponding domain name and holding communication date for use in accessing a target entity. Each of these domain names is related to a respective number string from which it can be derived by a process including parsing at least a substantial portion of the number string into at least a part of said domain name. Upon the input of a number string indicative of a target entity, the related domain name is formed by parsing the number (step 120) and the domain name is then used to retrieve the corresponding communication data from the DNS-type distributed database system (step 121). This data is then used in accessing the target entity. In one embodiment, the communications network is a telephone network and the target entity is a called party; in this case, the number string comprises a dialed number and the retrieved communication data is a URI indicative of the location on the Internet of a current telephone number for the target party, the URI once retrieved being used to access the current telephone number over the Internet (step 123) for use in setting up a call to the target party.

The second other planetary gear assembly includes at least one second planetary gear pinion meshing with the teeth of the larger diameter ring gear and the portion of the sun gear aligned therein. The second planetary gear pinions are rotatably mounted to pivots coupled to a second gear carriage which in turn is selectively rotatable about the axis. A brake is provided operable to permit or prevent the rotation of one or both of the first planetary gear carriage or the second planetary gear carriage relative to their respective pivots. A second brake provided to selectively lock or unlock the sun gear so as to permit or prevent its rotation relative to the transmission axis.

Abstract: This invention is a postal rate metering device. It is a simple measuring device which determines size and weight of mail for Canadian, United States of America and International delivery. It consists of a rectangular plastic bar with measurement markings on both sides and series of holes along its length. Each hole has a postal weight category marked opposite.   The bar has a slot at one end to measure thickness of the mail and a clip at the opposite end to hold the mail being weighed. A pen or pencil inserted in the appropriate hole will indicate the maximum weight if the clip end is above the horizontal level.  For the small office or home, this inexpensive article eliminates the need to have sophisticated electronic or mechanical weighing or measuring equipment, or attending at a Post Office to determine the postage to be applied before mailing a letter.
