Patent CA-2183904-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YANTHA ANNE RITA MARIAN
IPC: A45D1/04
Filed: 1997-02-28
Abstract: An automatic hair curling iron with a variable speed rotating, heated body and a stationary handle. The rotation and heating of the sleeve of the unit will be controlled by on/off switches on the handle. Rotating rods will be powered by a motor located in the handle of the unit facilitating rotation of the sleeve. Grooves on the end of the sleeve closest to the handle will clamp the rotating body to the stationary handle.  The heating rod in the core of the unit will heat the sleeve while the non-heat conducting materials of the stationary unit maintain a room temperature handle at all times. A hazard light located on the handle will illuminate to provide a warning to the user to unplug the curling iron if a problem is detected in rotation or heating of the unit.

Title: Slip yoke assembly for vehicle driveshaft
Inventor: EVERSOLE RONALD D
IPC: F16D3/06
Filed: 1996-12-20
Abstract: A slip yoke assembly for a vehicle drive train assembly includes a yoke shaft having a shaft portion with a plurality of external splines formed thereon. A hollow transition member having a plurality of internal splines is connected to the yoke shaft for rotational driving movement, yet is permitted to move axially relative thereto. A hollow weld ring is secured to the yoke shaft for rotational movement therewith. The weld ring extends co-axially about the splined connection between the transition member and the shaft portion of the yoke shaft and provides an exterior surface to which one or more balance weights may be secured. The weld ring also provides an annular space to retain a quantity of lubricant for the splined connection. A flexible convoluted boot is provided to seal the splined connection between the transition member and the shaft portion of the yoke shaft. A first end of the boot is secured to the weld ring, while a second end of the boot is secured to the transition member. The boot prevents contaminants from entering into the splined connection between the transition member and the shaft portion of the yoke shaft. A sleeve cup is also provided to seal the splined connection between the transition member and the shaft portion of the yoke shaft. The sleeve cup includes a circular body portion having a relatively short, axially extending flange portion. The circular body portion of the sleeve cup extends over the open end of the transition member to prevent contaminants from entering into the splined connection between the transition member and the shaft portion of the yoke shaft through the interior of the driveshaft section. The flange portion of the sleeve cup is frictionally engaged between the inner cylindrical surface of the driveshaft section and the outer cylindrical surface of the transition member to retain it in position during use.

Title: Orthopaedic brace having one-piece cuff
Inventor: NEBOLON JOSEPH F
IPC: A61F5/01
Filed: 1995-12-27
Abstract: An orthopaedic brace having a cuff formed as a single piece from bendable sheet material comprises a generally U-shaped frame having a center segment and two extensions projecting from the ends of the center segment in a common direction. The center segment has a reduced stiffness as compared to the extensions to permit the center segment to be more readily shaped to conform to the body part of a wearer.

Filed: 1997-08-22
Abstract: A call originating in the Internet network (102) is converted by a gateway (104) into a telephone call and is completed to a call center (106) as aconventional inbound call including caller identification. An Internet user who has accessed a World Wide Web (WWW) home page (114) of a call center customer indicates a desire to speak to a call center agent by activating a "call" virtual button (115) of the home page by means of the WWW browser (101) of the user's Internet phone (99)-equipped client (100). The WWW server (103) of the home page responds by sending an executable applet (117) and the call center's telephone number (116) to the client (100). The client executes the applet to obtain the user's telephone number from the user, to establish an Internet connection between the Internet phone (99) and the gateway, and to provide the user's and call center'stelephone numbers to the gateway. The gateway uses the phone numbers to establish a call to the call center through the telephone network (105). It provides the user's telephone number to the call center as the calling telephone number (119) by including it in a field (e.g., ANI) of the ISDN call SETUP message (118). The gateway also interfaces the Internet connection with the telephone call. The call center uses the calling number to effect a screen pop at the agent position (109-l10) of the agent assigned to handle the call.

Inventor: DOWLING MICHAEL
IPC: C10M133/52
Filed: 1996-08-26
Abstract: Lubricants with improved acid neutralization properties and excellent sludge and wear performance in the Seq. 5E test are formed using a detergent system comprising one or more alkali or alkaline earth metal salts of an oil soluble organic acid selected from the group consisting of sulfonic acids, phenols, sulfurized phenols, and carboxylic acids (including salicylic acids) wherein at least one metal salt is overbased and the ratio of inorganic to organic salt present in the detergent system expressed as TBN from inorganic salts (the overbasing) to the total moles of organic salt is at least 2500. Further improvement in acid neutralization is possible by keeping the amount of dispersant nitrogen added to the basestock (independent of any nitrogen present in the basestock) below 0.053 wt.% and using a zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate system wherein at least half of the hydrocarbyl groups are secondary alkyl groups.
