Abstract: The BX Cutting Guide can be used in many ways, here are examples of two.     1. In the Electrical Industry the BX cable is cut with an ordinary hacksaw at a very slow pace in appropriate lighting as not to damage the cable under the sheath. The damage to cable sometimes is unavoidable resulting in high cost due to destroyed cable and wasted labour.   2. By placing a stop guide over the hacksaw blade we may now achieve a safe cut in minimal light.   3. The stop guide is placed over a hacksaw blade and inserted in the hacksaw holes to match the saw lengths.   4. The guide may have its own handle with the ability to change blades easily.   5. Whether the user is using the hacksaw or the handle with blade, the guide does not inhibit the replacement of the blade.   6. The guide never wears out. Only the blade is replaced.

Inventor: HELLERSTEIN MARC K
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2004-11-24
Abstract: The invention enables high-throughput screening of compounds in living systems to detect unanticipated or unintended biological actions. The invention also allows for screening, detection, and confirmation of new indications for approved drugs. Screening and detection of toxic effects of compounds also can be achieved by using the methods of the invention. The methods comprise administering isotope-labeled substrates to a living system so that the label is incorporated into molecules in a manner that reveals flux rates through metabolic pathways thought to be involved in a disease. Comparisons between living systems exposed to compounds and living systems not so exposed reveals the effects of the compounds on the flux rates through the metabolic pathways.  Combinations or mixtures of compounds can be systematically screened to detect unanticipated or unintended biological actions, including synergistic actions, in the same manner.

Abstract: A cooling blade of a gas turbine having a turning angle of at least 115 is provided. The blade has such a shape that the diameters of circles inscribing the belly and back sides at different positions of adjacent blades decreases as one goes from the front edge to the rear edge.

Patent CA-2552793-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BROOKOVER BRIAN DAVID
IPC: E21B7/02
Filed: 2006-07-20
Abstract: In an earth drilling rig in which an air compressor and one or more hydraulic pumps are driven by the same engine, the intake throttle of the compressor is controlled by an electronic controller having a proportional integral derivative control. The controller minimizes unloading of the compressor, allowing the engine to operate more efficiently, the hydraulic system to provide more consistent power to drilling functions and the volume and pressure of compressed air to be optimized for the drilling conditions encountered. The electronic controller also operates a blowdown valve at the discharge side of an air receiver, and effects various overrides of the control system, for example when air discharge temperature approaches a critical level, or when an overpressure condition is detected.

Patent CA-2566149-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHNEIDER RONALD D
IPC: A47L9/00
Filed: 2001-06-20
Abstract: The moisture sensor and indicator for a wet pickup vacuum cleaner, more particularly a wet extraction type carpet cleaner, is positioned in the suction duct to sense when water droplets or moisture is traveling through the suction duct.  An indicator is activated to indicate to the operator that water is being extracted from the carpet. The sensor may alternatively be located in the bottom of the floor-engaging portion where it contracts the floor. When the degree of moisture in the carpet exceeds a predetermined threshold an indicator is activated to indicate to the operator that the floor is still wet and to continue extracting moisture from the floor. Alternatively, the moisture sensor can be used as a safety device on a dry pickup vacuum cleaner. When moisture is detected within the suction duct, the motor-fan assembly of the dry pickup vacuum cleaner is disabled to prevent a potentially hazardous condition. Also, another moisture sensor is positioned in the cleaner to detect when the moisture level of the solution or recovery tank is reaches a predetermined level. An indicator is activated to indicate to the operator when the moisture level reaches the predetermined level.
Patent CA-2566338-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BURNS ALAN ROBERT
IPC: F03B13/18
Filed: 2005-05-16
Abstract: Apparatus (10) rests on the seabed at a location below sea level for capturing wave energy. The apparatus (10) comprises a body structure (11) having a diaphragm (25) adapted to deflect in response to wave action. A working chamber (27) is disposed immediately below the diaphragm (25) and contains a compressible fluid such as air. A pump system (43) is accommodated within the working chamber (27). The pump system (43) comprises two reciprocating pumps (45, 47) operating in opposition. The pumps (45, 47) are operably connected to the diaphragm (25) through a lever mechanism (61). Because of the geometry of the lever mechanism (61), the stroke length of each pump (45, 47) is less than the amplitude of displacement of the diaphragm (25) as it moves in response to wave action. Thus, the lever mechanism (61) increases the force acting on each pump (45, 47) by a given ratio and reduces the stroke of each pump by the same ratio. The reduction in stroke length provides for compact construction so that the pumps (45, 47) can be readily accommodated within the working chamber (27). The pumps (45, 47) draw seawater from the environment about the apparatus (10) and discharge the seawater at a high-pressure. The high-pressure seawater generated by the pumps can be piped to shore for use in any appropriate purpose.

Patent CA-2567706-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WACHSBERG RICHARD
IPC: B65D47/32
Filed: 2006-11-10
Abstract: A combination of bottle and cap. The bottle includes a narrow neck, with a hollow handle the upper end of which joins the bottle body at or adjacent to the neck, with the handle being spaced apart from the body to permit the user to easily grip the handle. The hollow interior of the handle communicates at its upper and lower end with the interior of the body, to permit a flow of air through the neck opening, via the interior of the handle, to a lower region within the interior of the container. The cap preferably fastens to the body neck via a conventional screw threading. Alternatively, the cap may be non-removable from the body, for example, with the body and cap being moulded as a single structure, although it is contemplated that in most cases the cap will be removable. The cap comprises a cap body, internally screw-threaded for mating with external threads on the bottle body, and a removable cap cover. Preferably, the cap cover is joined to the cap body via a flexible strip which hinges the cover to the body so as to permanently join the cover to the body to prevent the user from mislaying the cover. The cover may snap-lock to the cap body so as to effectively seal the bottle. The cap includes first and second openings, for dispensing liquid and intake of air, respectively. The cap is attached to the container body so as to position the second opening generally facing the handle, while the first opening is opposed to the handle. Air tends to flow into the second opening within the cap as liquid exits the first opening, with the inflowing air tending to be channeled into the hollow handle interior with minimal interference with the outflowing liquid.

Title: Method and system for providing access to a channel for voice transmissions
Inventor: WIATROWSKI DAVID G
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 2005-06-06
Abstract: In a TDMA system, a plurality of subscriber units (SU; 12, 14, 22) and a plurality of base radios (BR; 5, 7, 13) provide access to a channel for voice transmissions. A SU requests a voice transmission by pressing ~push to talk~  on a mobile unit (202). The SU then determines whether the voice transmissions is provisioned for ~polite~ channel access (216). If the ~polite~ channel access specifies that the SU be ~polite~ to all (216), then the SU sends negative feedback to the SU user (220). Alternatively, if the ~polite~ channel access specifies that the SU not be ~polite~ to all (218), but be ~polite~ to its own color code (218), then the SU performs time slot synchronization with the BR.
