Title: Connector assembly useful with a downhole tool
Inventor: EPPINK JAY MILTON
IPC: E21B17/043
Filed: 2005-06-21
Abstract: A connector assembly for connecting with a rotatable shaft is provided. The connector assembly includes a mating sleeve threadably coupleable about the shaft and a center sleeve sized and shaped for deployment between the shaft and the mating sleeve. The center sleeve includes pluralities of splines formed on inner and outer surfaces thereof. The splines on the inner surface of the center sleeve are engageable with splines on the outer surface of the shaft and the splines on the outer surface of the center sleeve are engageable with splines on the inner surface of the mating sleeve. Exemplary embodiments of this invention are useful in downhole tools to reduce make-up torque requirements of the mating sleeve, and therefore may advantageously increase the cyclic torsional and/or bending load capacity of the shaft, while also increasing the total torsional load capacity of the connection.

Title: Wave transmission medium and waveguide circuit
Inventor: KITOH TSUTOMU
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 2003-12-25
Abstract: A wave transmission medium includes an input port 3-1 and an output port 3-2. A field distribution 1 and a field distribution 2 are obtained by numerical calculations. The field distribution 1 is a field distribution of the propagation light (forward propagation light) launched into the input port 3-1.  The field distribution 2 is a field distribution of the phase conjugate light (reverse propagation light) resulting from reversely transmitting from the output port side an output field that is expected to be output from the output port 3-2 when an optical signal is launched into the input port 3-1,. According to the field distributions 1 and 2, a spatial refractive index distribution is calculated such that the phase difference between the propagation light and reverse propagation light is eliminated at individual points (x, z) in the medium.

Filed: 2003-08-21
Abstract: Galectine 9 exerce différentes fonctions selon ses localisations. D'autre part, on pense que galectine 9 participe à différentes fonctions biologiques. Il est donc nécessaire de clarifier les activités biologiques détaillées de galectine 9 et de développer des techniques associées à galectine 9 y compris la création de médicaments. Galectine 9 humaine démontre une activité cytotoxique et une activité induisant l'apoptose sur des cellules tumorales mais ne démontre ni activité cytotoxique, ni activité induisant l'apoptose sur des cellules normales. Il est, par conséquent, possible d'utiliser une protéine de galectine 9, un agoniste de galectine 9, un antagoniste de galectine 9, un anticorps de protéine de liaison anti-galectine 9, un anticorps de chaîne de sucre de liaison anti-galectine 9, une substance induisant, libérant ou produisant galectine 9 en tant qu'agent antitumoral, agent anti-allergique, immunosuppresseur, médicament contre des maladies auto-immunes, agent anti-inflammatoire et ingrédient actif sous forme de substitut d'hormone corticostéroïde.

Patent CA-2525741-A1 (CA)
Title: Rotary valve actuator
Inventor: KINDERSLEY PETER
IPC: F16K31/44
Filed: 2005-11-04
Abstract: A rotary valve actuator that effects rotary movement of a rotary valve from 0 to 90°, or to 120°, or to 180°, or even more. The actuator includes a heavy plate member coupled with a linear motive source, which reciprocates the plate member between a first position and a second position. First and second coaxial wheels are fastened together on a single shaft and are rotatably supported tangent to one side of the plate member. A first flexible pull connector, such as a length of roller chain, is attached to the end of the plate member farthest from the linear motive source, and wraps around the first wheel. A second flexible pull connector is attached to the end of the plate member closest to the linear motive source, and wraps around the second wheel, in the opposite direction of winding as for the first flexible connector. When the linear motive source drives the plate member toward a second position, the first flexible pull connector unwraps from around the first wheel, driving the wheel in a first angular direction. When the linear motive force drives the plate member back towards the first position, the second flexible member unwraps from around the second wheel, driving the second wheel in an angular direction, opposite from the first direction. The shaft is rotated when the wheels rotate, and it may be connected to a rotary valve shaft. The actuator may be provided with a tensioning assembly secured to the plate member and cooperating with one of the pull connectors, thereby maintaining a tension force in all the pull connectors.

Title: Electronic proportional leveling control system for recreational vehicles
Inventor: FENKHUBER JACK
IPC: B60S9/02
Filed: 2005-11-28
Abstract: Microprocessors read the tilt of a vehicle as indicated by lateral and longitudinal tilt sensors, and predict the amount of jack actuation needed to level the vehicle. Once an attempt is made to level the vehicle, the system may pause for a configurable amount of time to allow the oscillations of the vehicle to subside. Once the vehicle motion, if any, has stopped, the tilt angles of the vehicle are once again checked and any further actuation of the jacks is taken to fine tune the attitude of the vehicle.

Abstract: A system automatically monitors playing and wagering of a game, including the gaming habits of players and the performance of employees. A card deck reader automatically reads a symbol for each card in a deck of cards before a first one of the cards is removed. The symbol identifies a respective rank and suit of the card. A chip tray reader automatically images the contents of a chip tray, to periodically determine the number and value of chips in the chip tray, and to compare the change in contents of the chip tray to the outcome of game play for verifying that the proper amounts have been paid out and collected. A table monitor automatically images the activity occurring at a gaming table. Periodic comparison of the images identify wagering as well as the appearance, removal and position of cards and other game objects on the gaming table. A drop box automatically verifies an amount and authenticity of a deposit and reconciles the deposit with a change in the contents of the chip tray. The drop box employs a variety of lighting and resolutions to image selected portions of the deposited item. The system detects prohibited playing and wagering patterns, and determines the win/loss percentage of the players and the dealer, as well as a number of other statistically relevant measures. The measurements provide automated security and real-time accounting. The measurements also provide a basis for automatically allocating complimentary player benefits.

Title: Analytical system, and method for analyzing nonlinear optical signals
Inventor: MAROWSKY GERD
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 2004-07-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the ultrasensitive simultaneous measurement of nonlinear optical emission signals in one or two local dimensions. Said method comprises the following steps: the excitation light is irradiated in a power-modulated or pulse-modulated form from at least one light source into an interactive volume or onto an interactive area or layer (hereafter called interactive spaces ) in which one or several emissions that are nonlinearly correlated with the excitement light can be excited; the light emanating from said interactive spaces is measured by means of a one-dimensional or two-dimensional detector array; the measured data is transmitted from said detector array to a computer; and said data is formatted in a one-dimensional or two-dimensional data matrix. The inventive method is characterized in that non-correlated portions of the light emanating from the interactive spaces or the portions thereof that are linearly proportionate to the intensity of the excitement light available in said interactive spaces are separated from portions of the light emanating from the interactive spaces, which are not linearly proportionate to the intensity of the available excitement light. The invention further relates to an analytical system that is suitable for carrying out the inventive method.
