Abstract: Modular flooring systems and methods using at least one free-lay support module. The free-lay support module includes a baseplate and a frame member having a first arm and a second arm that meet and form an angle. Replaceable wear surface modules with or without a backing structure fit within the baseplate.      The top of frame partially overlays the replaceable wear surface modules that may be carpet, carpet tile, vinyl flooring, wood flooring, wood parquet flooring or a variety of other materials.      In still another embodiment, this invention provides for a free-lay support module that is self-contouring or self-leveling. In yet another embodiment this invention provides a replaceable wear surface modular flooring structure utilizing floor grid members having a "horizontal arm" and a "vertical arm", each of which are in the form of an open U-,shaped channel.      A trim member has a decorative upper surface and any of a variety of cross-sectional shapes with downward facing members that engage the floor grid members providing a decorative and protective cap on the top of such grid members. In still another embodiment, power systems, communications systems, and/or cable systems reside within the channels.

Patent CA-2332260-C (CA)
Inventor: THOMPSON ERIC
IPC: F16M11/04
Filed: 2001-01-24
Granted: 2008-11-18
Abstract: A universal mounting mechanism for holding objects, such as electrical, medical, optical or audio/visual components needing secure physical connection to another surface in such a way that the mounted object can be easily and quickly installed and removed. It locks the object by providing surfaces on three planes that firmly engage the object so it does not move during transportation or when mounted on a fixed surface. It is low in profile so it does not obstruct the use of the items being held. The mount has no loose parts that can be lost during installation or removal of the mounted objects. Furthermore, the mount has the added feature of locking into either the open or closed position. Because the range of motion is limited, the top of the mount will not move into a position where it could be damaged or obstruct the use of adjacently mounted items.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un programmateur portatif passif à distance pour un lecteur d'identification radiofréquence (RFID) du type à induction commandé par microprocesseur, ce programmateur comprenant un boîtier destiné à loger une antenne (L1, C1), plusieurs étiquettes répondeuses RFID à circuit intégré spécialisé (IC1-IC6), chacune de ces étiquettes étant pourvue d'un code d'étiquette unique, et un clavier (22) présentant une pluralité de touches pouvant être sélectivement actionnées pour raccorder l'un des circuits intégrés des étiquettes répondeuses à ladite antenne. On alimente ainsi par induction ce circuit intégré d'une étiquette dans le champ de détection radiofréquence d'un lecteur RFID, ce qui permet à ce dernier de lire le code d'étiquette du circuit intégré choisi, grâce à des conducteurs (24, 26). Des instructions de programme mémorisées dans ce lecteur RFID reconnaissent en outre chaque code d'étiquette unique comme représentatif de l'actionnement d'une touche particulière sur le clavier dudit programmateur à distance, chacun de ces codes n'indiquant pas pour autant une quelconque présentation d'une étiquette de touche directe permettant d'accéder au lecteur. Tout actionnement de touches particulières ou de plusieurs touches à la suite sur le programmateur peut donc être reconnu par ledit lecteur RFID comme des instructions de programme destinées au microprocesseur commandant ce lecteur.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for monitoring the properties of a subsurface reservoir are provided. A tubular is equipped with external transmitting and/or receiving antennas configured to provide electromagnetic measurements with directed sensitivity. The tubular includes a recess formed on the outer circumference to house an antenna and electronic components, thereby reducing the tubular radial profile. A shield apparatus is mounted to the tubular to further protect the antennas mounted thereon. A tubular equipped with one or more antennas comprising a coil array, a set of saddle coils, tilted coils, or a combination thereof, provides for selective steering of the measurement sensitivity. Slots are formed on the tubular to attenuate current flow in the tubular that may result from interaction with an antenna mounted thereon. Power and/or signal data transfer between the antennas and the surface is achieved via a wireline coupled between the antennas on the tubular and the surface, or by other suitable means.

Abstract: Electrical energy is charged to a dielectric by using an energizing unit. A relay apparatus includes a first electromagnetic relay and a second electromagnetic relay. One light-emitting transistor is turned on by self- maintaining the second electromagnetic relay and, then, one light-receiving transistor is turned on. Another light-emitting diode is turned on by discharging the dielectric and another light-receiving transistor is turned on. A power voltage is applied to a base of a transistor for start, and the transistor for start is turned on. The first electromagnetic relay is self-maintained, an interval between output terminals is energized, and a load is driven. Accordingly, the relay apparatus can be miniaturized with a safety function and with low costs.

Title: Methods and systems for controlling computers or linking to internet resources from physical and electronic objects
Inventor: RHOADS GEOFFREY B
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2000-05-15
Granted: 2014-07-08
Abstract: Physical or electronic objects are encoded with identifiers, which serve to trigger object-appropriate responses from computer systems that encounter such objects. The encoding may be steganographic (e.g., by digital watermarks), so the presence of such identifiers is not evident to persons encountering the objects. An exemplary application is a computer system that looks at a printed magazine advertisement (20) and initiates a link to a corresponding internet page. In one such implementation, the computer system senses an identifer encoded in the advertisement, forwards the identifier to a remote database, receives from the database (17) a corresponding internet address (18a, 18b, 18c), and directs a browser to that address (18a, 18b, 18c). The same arrangement can be used for on-line ordering from printed merchandise catalogs. Another application is a computer system that looks at a printed spreadsheet (20), and retrieves from disk storage an electonic version of the same document for editing.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un réseau (60) destiné à la commande, à la détection et aux communications de données. Le réseau comporte plusieurs noeuds (62, 63, 64, 65, 66). Chaque noeud peut être connecté à une charge utile (49) qui comporte des détecteurs, des commandes et des ETTD. Le réseau est formé au moyen de plusieurs liaisons de communication (61a, 61b, 61c 61d), chacune basée sur un support de communication conducteur, qui comprend au moins deux conducteurs et qui connecte deux noeuds entre eux en une configuration point à point. Lorsque le réseau est en marche, les noeuds peuvent être configurés de façon dynamique comme noeuds de génération de données, des données étant générées et transmises dans le réseau, ou comme noeuds de réception/répétition/routage, les données reçues étant répétées d'un port récepteur à tous les ports de sortie. En mode de fonctionnement normal, le réseau passe d'état en état. Chaque état est caractérisé par l'affectation d'un noeud unique comme noeud de génération de données, et par la configuration de tous les autres noeuds du réseau comme répéteurs ou récepteurs. Le réseau peut être configuré selon une topologie linéaire ou circulaire, ou une combinaison des deux. Les noeuds et les charges utiles peuvent tous être alimentés par une source d'énergie locale ou par l'intérmédiaire du câblage du réseau. Dans ce dernier cas, des câbles spécialisés peuvent être utilisés, ou les mêmes conducteurs peuvent être utilisés pour la distribution d'énergie et la communication. La commande du réseau peut s'effectuer de l'extérieur du réseau, ou en utilisant le réseau lui-même comme moyen de transport pour les messages de commande. Le passage d'état en état peut s'effectuer en sélectionnant les noeuds séquentiels comme noeud de génération de données, ou en sélectionnant des noeuds arbitraires comme noeuds de génération de données.
