Patent CA-2107865-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHILLING DONALD L
IPC: G06Q20/04
Filed: 1993-10-06
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE    A wireless debit card communications system comprising a radio unit, a base station, and an end station.  The radio unit, for example, a radio telephone, includes a first processor, a reader for reading a credit amount and a personal access number from a debit card, and a transceiver for communicating, using radio waves, a credit signal.  The base station receives and relays the credit signal over a communications channel to the end station.  The end station includes a switch to generate a first control signal to allocate the credit amount of the debit card to the radio unit, and to set a radio unit access number of the radio unit to the personal access number of the debit card with a communications path through the base station.  The end station also generates a second control signal for changing the credit amount and the personal access number of the debit card.  The base station may be connected to a debit meter.  The radio unit and the debit meter respond to the second control signal to change the credit amount and the personal access number using magnetic writers or writer processors to store an updated credit amount and personal access number on a magnetic strip on a debit card or on a chip on the debit card as the debit card is used in the radio unit.  The personal access number may be used as a telephone number of the radio unit.

Title: Method of saving power consumption in a battery-operated pager receiver
Inventor: YOSHIZAWA SHIGEO
IPC: G08B3/10
Filed: 1993-10-25
Abstract: In orders to effectively reduce power consumption of a radio pager, an originally-determined pulse width at which power is supplied to high-power drain circuitry is narrowed in the case where the interval between two adjacent code signals transmitted from a calling station becomes less than a predetermined time duration. Conversely, if the above-mentioned interval exceeds the predetermined time duration, the narrowed pulse width is changed to the original one.

Abstract: A mechanism and method for the continuous winding of a web of paper (w) into rolls including a shear type load cell (32, 32a) for measuring the horizontal component of the reactive force on the winding drum with the output of the load cell being used to control the nip pressure (N) between the winding drum (15, 15a) and the roll being wound. Another load cell (39) measures the tension of the incoming paper web, and this measurement is subtracted to give the net nip pressure. An initial reading is taken when the core on which the web is to be wound is lowered onto the load cell (41) and an initial reading is taken to provide the index point of the weight of the core (18, 18a) and reel, and when the core is being pivoted downwardly over the drum (15, 15a), the vertical and horizontal components with the total nip load (N) are calculated to control the nip load. Thus, the nip load is carefully controlled at all positions to provide an improved drum winder obtaining controlled nip load and controlled density of the roll being wound.

Title: Doll with an imaging heart
Inventor: FRIEDEL JOAN
IPC: A63H3/00
Filed: 1995-01-30
Abstract: A doll of this invention includes a torso having an upper chest portion, a pair of arms, a pair of legs and a head, the chest includes means delineating a predetermined area of a predetermined shape, such as a heart which is constructed from translucent colored plastic material. Means within the cavity behind the heart create a varying silhouette which corresponds in configuration to the doll upon the illumination of a light within the doll. The varying configuration of the silhouette is created by rotating an object between a lamp and the translucent colored plastic material, and this imparts a varying size and shape to the silhouette. In its broader aspects, the present invention is not limited to a doll, but instead to the concept of a rotating object(s) positioned between a translucent imaging surface and a source of illumination can be utilized in a variety of other environments and objects. For example, a "bunny" or a "rabbit" can be rotated within a hollow plastic "egg" having a transparent wall and an internal lamp which will silhouette the rabbit upon the translucent wall. Another example would be a jewelry box having a plastic hollow heart housing a rotatable "ballerina" which when backlit casts a "dancing" ballerina silhouette upon a translucent wall of the housing.

Title: Pulmonary resuscitation device
Inventor: GEEHAM CALVIN T
IPC: A61M16/06
Filed: 1995-02-08
Abstract: A pulmonary resuscitation device which can be used by anyone in an emergent situation, with or without prior training, composed of an airway member which includes an inlet tube and an outlet tube, a face mask sealably connected with the airway member, and a connection at a remote end of the inlet tube for connection of an oxygen bottle or a user's mouth thereto. In operation, a user inserts the airway member into the throat of the patient so as to depress the tongue and open the patient's airway, then completes insertion with the fitting of the face mask sealably onto the face of the patient. Oxygen is then turned on from an externally connected oxygen bottle, or else the user breathes into the inlet tube. Gas then enters the patient's lungs through the inlet tube thereby inflating the lungs, but with excess pressure build-up within the patient being prevented by the outlet tube being provided with a throttling cross-sectional area which automatically meters gas venting to the atmosphere. Thus, the present invention provides for the benefits of mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration, without any of the dangers associated with possible transmission of disease thereduring.

Title: Improved handtruck
Inventor: WILLIAMSON GARY
IPC: B62B1/14
Filed: 1993-08-30
Abstract: An improved handtruck having an unloader mechanism for assisting in the removal of cargo from the handtruck. The unloader mechanism utilizes a cargo support (28) pivotally mounted at the lower end of the handtruck. The cargo support (28) is designed so that it can be maintained in a latched position when transporting cargo and can be unlatched to pivot away from the handtruck when unloading cargo. A pusher structure (30) may be operatively connected to said cargo support to facilitate the removal of cargo from said cargo support. The pivot action of the cargo support causes a force to be exerted on the cargo by the pusher structure which urges such cargo down an inclined plane formed by the cargo support, thereby removing the cargo from the handtruck.
