Title: Level-adjusting apparatus for a power tool
Inventor: SMITH DARRIN EUGENE
IPC: B27C5/02
Filed: 2000-07-26
Granted: 2010-07-06
Abstract: The level-adjusting apparatus adjusts the level of a tool such as a router having a bit for cutting a piece cf work on a working surface. The apparatus has a carriage on which the router is mounted. The carriage is located beneath the working surface and its bit projects above the surface. The carriage may be raised and lowered by means of a handle above the working surface. The handle is removable so that once the router is in position the handle may be removed so that it does not interfere with the routing operation.

Patent CA-2317235-C (CA)
Inventor: WELTY RICHARD P
IPC: C23C14/06
Filed: 1995-04-21
Granted: 2002-03-26
Abstract: The invention provides improved razors and razor blades and processes for producing razor blades or similar cutting tools with sharp and durable cutting edges.  One such process comprises the steps of providing a substrate, forming a wedge-shaped sharpened edge on the substrate and depositing a layer of amorphous diamond material as a coating on the sharpened edge. The sharpened edge has an included angle of less than thirty degrees and a tip radius of less than 1,200 angstroms. As part of the depositing step an initial high bias is applied to the substrate and then a second lower bias is applied to the substrate. The amorphous diamond coating imparts stiffness and rigidity to a thin blade while maintaining a high aspect ratio.

Title: Matrix improvements to lossless encoding and decoding
Inventor: CRAVEN PETER GRAHAM
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 2000-04-07
Granted: 2011-08-30
Abstract: A lossless encoder and decoder are provided for transmitting a multichannel signal on a medium such as DVD-Audio. The encoder accepts additionally a downmix specification and splits the encoded stream into two substreams, such that a two-channel decoder of meagre computational power can implement the downmix specification by decoding one substream, while a multichannel decoder can decode the original multichannel signal losslessly using both substreams. Further features provide for efficient implementation on 24-bit processors, for confirmation of lossless reproduction to the user, and for benign behaviour in the case of downmix specifications that result in overload. The principle is also extended to mixed-rate signals, where for example some input channels are sampled at 48kHz and some are sampled at 96kHz.

Title: Water containing soluble fiber
Inventor: STILLMAN SUZANNE JAFFE
IPC: A61K9/08
Filed: 2001-02-22
Granted: 2012-05-22
Abstract: A water-like fluid containing safe water and a significant quantity of soluble dietary fiber. The resulting solution is generally optically clear and has physical properties similar to potable water. The fluid is intended as a replacement for bottled, or other water, as a means to ensure proper hydration. Depending on the soluble fiber used the fluid is either non-caloric or extremely low in calories. The amount of soluble fiber is adjusted to a specific amount of water so that consumption of an adequate amount of fluid ensures hydration (e.g., eight 8 oz. glasses per day) will also providing an optimal amount of dietary fiber. This is particularly valuable in stressed situations where the diet may not provide adequate fiber without supplementation. The constant metered supply of fiber provided throughout the day is preferable to, and more convenient than, "bolus" administration of fiber through laxatives, etc. Additionally, the constant presence of soluble fiber in the digestive tract provides the known beneficial effects of moderating the postprandial increase in blood glucose, modulating serum lipid levels, and suppressing appetite.
