Title: Display device and array
Inventor: TIJANIC VESO S
IPC: G09F9/37
Filed: 1999-08-17
Abstract: A changeable display element is edgewise mounted on an insulating board and carries to rotate through about 180° to show one colour face or the other to a viewer. The board provides a similarly coloured face for each face to form a pixel. The element carries a permanent magnet and is driven by a switchable magnetic field provided from the board. Soft iron pads on the board cooperate with the magnet on each position to retain the element against incidental displacement between application of the field. The board may support arrays of such elements.

Title: Positioning apparatus
Inventor: GUNNARSSON CENNETH
IPC: B27B5/22
Filed: 1998-05-11
Abstract: The disclosure relates to a positioning apparatus for workpieces whose length is to be adjusted. The apparatus includes a conveyor which advances the workpieces. Beside this feed conveyor, there is an additional conveyor on which adjustable abutment means are mounted. The two conveyors move at the same speed and in the same direction, so that each one of the abutment means, throughout the entire movement, is located in register with one and the same workpiece. A  transverse displacement device realises the lateral displacement of the workpieces until such time as the abutment means receive them. The abutment means may be either stepwise or continuoulsy adjustable. For a further stabilisation of the workpieces, there is a rail mounted at the discharge end of the conveyor, so that the end of each workpiece will slide along this rail without being displaced in the transverse direction.

Title: Method of making photovoltaic device
Inventor: CURTIN LAWRENCE F
IPC: H01L31/048
Filed: 2000-01-24
Abstract: A photovoltaic device and a method for its manufacture. The device essentially comprises a thin film cell layer 14, a contact transfer release sheet 54, and a foil strip interconnect clip 80. The contact transfer release sheet 54 is bonded to the thin film cell layer 14 in vacuum deposition chambers 12 to produce a roll 62 of photovoltaic material. The photovoltaic material is then cut into segments that are referred to as thin film cell stickers 64. The thin film cell stickers have a barrier layer which is removable to expose a ready-to-apply sticker. The stickers 64 are then adhered to a substrate, like glass, and arranged, side by side, in a row 66. Row 66 of stickers 64 is formed into a series or parallel circuit using a conductive foil strip interconnect clip 80. The interconnect clip is used to complete the circuit between adjacent thin film stickers, preferably by crimping the interconnect to adjacent bus bar segments 87 & 91, of adjacent stickers 64.

Title: Derailleur bicycle; retractable chain strain mechanical sensor to control an electric booster
Inventor: ROUTIER THIERRY
IPC: B62M6/40
Filed: 2000-06-21
Abstract: One of the major barriers to the daily use of a bicycle for work/home commuting purposes has always been steep climbs. An innovative chain strain sensing device that controls an interface to allow installation of a wide selection of existing cordless power tools into a derailleur bicycle power train is proposed here.  The chain tension applied by the rider is sensed by a mechanical device that has the capability of following all chain lateral positions that are imposed by the rear (or front) derailleur shifter. The tension signal is then directly sent to the power tool trigger through a control cable. The result is that the power tool motor is activated only when extra power is required by the rider. Unlike all other existing electric bike boosters having a throttle controlled manually, the main benefit of this concept is to maximize the autonomy of the motor batteries as boost is provided only when the rider pedals. The complete system is so light weight (under 12 lb) and so compact that the rider can still enjoy the regular behavior (including the gear shifting capability) and feeling of the bicycle when riding on shallow rates, flat road portions or downhill.

Title: Use of inorganic particles and method for marking and identifying a substrate or an article
Inventor: ROZUMEK OLIVIER
IPC: C09C1/00
Filed: 1998-12-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to inorganic particles comprising at least two chemical elements in a predefined and analytically identifiable ratio. These particles are used as a marking means incorporated into or applied onto any desired article. They provide a high security potential against counterfeiting since the analysis depend on a combination of spatial as well as of chemical information. In a first step the information containing particle has to be localized by scanning electron microscopy and in a second step the ratio of elements is analysed using energy- or wavelength-dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM/EDX).
Patent CA-2316745-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CROSS DOUGLAS B
IPC: H04Q1/02
Filed: 2000-08-24
Abstract: The invention refers to a telecommunications system comprising a module rack that defines a core bay, a service plane and a rack interface plane where the service plane is transverse to the rack interface plane. The core bay is in part bounded by the service plane and the rack interface plane. The telecommunications system also comprises a series of electronics modules each defining an electronics orientation plane where each of the modules includes two opposed cooling surfaces oriented substantially parallel to the electronics orientation plane. Each of the electronics modules is removably secured within the core bay. The series of the electronics modules forms an array such that their electronics orientation planes are substantially perpendicular to both the rack interface plane and the service plane. The array also defines at least one coolant stream passage across each cooling surface. Further the telecommunications system includes a coolant movement means for moving a coolant through the coolant stream passages and across the rack interface plane. As such, the coolant convects heat away from the cooling surfaces of electronics modules more efficiently and effectively than found in the prior art as it, amongst other things, shortens the distance over which the inlet coolant is required to travel to cool the same functional density and provides a coolant to the passage at approximately a uniform temperature for each module.

IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 1998-12-21
Abstract: In a system with a network interconnecting a server and a plurality of user stations, a system administrator models users of the system, or user groups, terminals and terminal groups as a hierachy and sets desktop and user application preferences for each group and for the individual users separately. For a selected group context, say the group of all users of the system, or some subgroup under the group that represents all users, a default set of preferences are determined for a selected user application. The default set is then modified according to preferences that are specifically set forth in the selected group. These preferences may then again be modified by a set of preferences that belong specifically to the user.
