Patent CA-2629240-C (CA)
Inventor: FRANCIS RALPH M JR
IPC: H01F38/08
Filed: 2008-04-17
Granted: 2016-07-26
Abstract: A plasma generating apparatus includes a plurality of discharge cells in which a gas is excited by a high frequency excitation signal produced at an inverter. Each of a plurality of transformers couples the excitation signal from the inverter to one of the discharge cells, thereby forming a separate resonant circuit that has a resonant frequency. A gap in the transformer core creates a stray magnetic field outside the transformer. The plurality of transformers are in close proximity to each other so that the stray magnetic field from one transformer is coupled to at least one other transformer. Coupling the stray magnetic fields between transformers results in each resonant circuit resonating at the same frequency, thereby compensating for manufacturing tolerances and changes in operating conditions of the discharge cells that otherwise affect the resonant frequency of a given circuit.

Abstract: An ice scraper blade assembly is arranged to be supported on an ice scraping device for movement across a sheet of ice to extend transversely to a forward working direction. The assembly includes an extruded steel beam having a layer of machinable material secured along a bottom side of the beam which differs from the material of the beam. A blade is fastened below the layer of machinable material using bolts connected between the blade and the beam. The blade can be straightened and levelled by machining the layer of material on the bottom of the beam so that the extruded beam remains fully intact during the straightening and levelling process and accordingly thermal deformation of the beam during use is predictable and can be accommodated for when machining the layer of machinable material.

Patent CA-2653653-C (CA)
Title: Toothbrush, as well as toothbrush head and tooth cleaning bristle for the same
Inventor: DRIESEN GEORGES
IPC: A46D1/00
Filed: 2007-04-19
Granted: 2014-12-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to a tooth cleaning bristle which is formed as a monofilament and has a generated surface with a structured profile, preferably shaped like a longitudinal groove which, in the circumferential direction, has alternate projections and depressions. The invention also relates to a toothbrush head with a bristle support to which at least one such tooth cleaning bristle is attached and, finally, to a preferably electric toothbrush with such a toothbrush head. In order to be able simultaneously to satisfy the diverse requirements of a tooth cleaning bristle, the present invention envisages a special profile of the generated surface of the tooth cleaning bristles which makes it possible to fill the bristle support easily, and which prevents the bristles which are brought together in a bunch from interlocking and yet ensures an intensive cleaning action on the generated surface side. Thanks to the profile, the circumference of the tooth cleaning bristle has a specific relationship to the cross section surface of the bristle. According to the invention, the tooth cleaning bristle which is formed as a monofilament has a profile on the generated surface side which is designed such that the relationship of the circumference of the generated surface to the cross section surface of the tooth cleaning bristle is in the range of 30 mm-1 to 50 mm-1. The generated surface of the tooth cleaning bristle is thus significantly larger compared to a circular cylindrical bristle with a comparable cross section surface, and so the cleaning action on the generated surface side improves accordingly, and toothpaste can better stick to and come off the tooth cleaning bristles on the generated surface side. Nevertheless, despite the profile on the generated surface side, the tooth cleaning bristle is still able to be attached to a suitable bristle support in the anchor connection method.

Un insert tubulaire est placé dans un trou de la sangle et des poteaux de linsert tubulaire sont alignés avec des entailles, dans la sangle, pour restreindre la rotation de linsert tubulaire par rapport à la sangle. Une bride située à une extrémité de linsert tubulaire est adjacente à la sangle pour restreindre le mouvement longitudinal de linsert tubulaire. Les verrous de linsert tubulaire entrent dans le trou de la sangle pour entraîner le côté de la sangle, à lopposé de la bride, et restreindre encore plus le mouvement longitudinal de linsert tubulaire. Un collier est placé par-dessus linsert tubulaire et un tuyau traverse linsert tubulaire et le collier. Linsert tubulaire comporte une base adjacente à la bride et une jupe distale par rapport à la bride. Les fentes longitudinales de la base et la jupe définissent des éléments résilients dans la base et dans la jupe, qui sallongent en directions opposées, mais qui peuvent se déplacer vers lintérieur. Le collier se visse à linsert tubulaire, faisant ainsi en sorte que les surfaces adjacentes sur le collier et les éléments résilients forcent les éléments résilients vers lintérieur, pour sagripper au tuyau et restreindre tout mouvement longitudinal et rotatif du tuyau par rapport à linsert tubulaire et à la sangle.

Abstract: Techniques for combating high interference in a dominant interference scenario are described. A terminal may observe high interference from an interfering base station in a dominant interference scenario. In an aspect, high interference may be combated by reserving time intervals for a serving base station. The terminal may communicate with the serving base station in the reserved time intervals and may avoid high interference that may desensitize a receiver at the terminal. In one design, the terminal may measure received power of base stations and may report its interference condition. The serving base station may receive a report from the terminal, determine that the terminal is observing high interference, and send a reservation request to the interfering base station to reserve time intervals. The interfering base station may grant the request and return a response. The serving base station may thereafter communicate with the terminal in the reserved time intervals.
