Patent CA-2246042-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DUPAY STEVEN C
IPC: B60D1/01
Filed: 1998-09-29
Abstract: The coupling alignment warning system (CAWS) of the instant invention is designed to provide the driver of a towing unit, e.g., a commercial truck, with visual and/or audible cues that indicate whether the towing unit is aligned relative to a towed unit for proper engagement of the coupling components mounted thereon, including a fifth wheel hitch on the towing unit and a king pin on the trailer. The CAWS combines a laser light source and a series of sensors with a reflective target to provide alignment information to the user. In particular, the system combines a low-power laser diode mounted on the towing unit with a retro-reflective target that is attached, preferably temporarily, on the towed unit. The target will continuously return positive coupling alignment information back to the sensors as long as laser light impinges upon the target, i.e., as long as target acquisition is maintained. The sensors transmit detection signals to a processing unit that includes a microprocessor and relay. The microprocessor is programmed to calculate a threshold level of light that is based on sensed ambient light signals. In operation, the microprocessor decodes the detected light and determines whether the detected light level reaches the threshold level of light. If so, the CAWS indicates to the user that target acquisition has been achieved, and thus, that the towing unit is aligned with the towed unit for positive coupling. The microprocessor also controls the relay, thus controlling the delivery of power to the laser light source so that the system can continually compute an updated threshold level of light based on the ambient light in the surrounding operating environment. As a result, the system minimizes the chance of triggering on false light signals, notwithstanding varying ambient light conditions. The CAWS is particularly useful in zero or low visibility conditions because it can be used in conjunction with mirrors and external reference points to provide reliable position information to the user.

IPC: E03B9/02

Abstract: Water saver fire hydrants save water by delivering their initial flow from a pilot valve to a collection of holes in the gasket faces of their hose and pamper outlet nozzles. These holes are normally closed off by the gaskets in caps and hoses, and the water that flows from those holes in the absence of those caps or hoses activates a mechanism inside the hydrant that either blocks attempts to obtain full flow from the hydrant or powers a hydraulic motor that closes the hydrant valves.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte en général à des procédés de diagnostic et de traitement thérapeutique de la maladie de Friedreich. La maladie de Friedreich (FRDA) est une maladie dégénérative autosomique récessive qui touche le système nerveux central et périphérique et le coeur. Un gène, le gène X25, a été identifié dans la région critique du locus de FRDA sur le chromosome 9q13. Le gène code une protéine de 210 acides aminés, la frataxine, qui possède des homologues dans des espèces éloignées telles que C. elegans et la levure. Quelques patients atteints de FRDA se sont avérés présenter des mutations ponctuelles dans le gène X25, mais la grande majorité sont homozygotes sur un développement trinucléotidique GAA variable, instable dans le premier intron de X25. L'ARNm du gène mature X25 a été strictement et considérablement réduit chez des individus atteints de FRDA. Les porteurs et les individus risquant de développer FRDA peuvent être déterminés par les procédés de cette invention. De plus, les procédés de cette invention peuvent assurer un traitement à ces patients atteints de FRDA.

Abstract: A bag (10), method of manufacture and process are disclosed for the cryopreservation of thermolabile substances. The bag is characterized as having substantially uniform thickness throughout its length and height. The bag features a radiused peripheral edge wall (4) for stress relief and to provide the constant cross section. A peripheral flashing circumscribes the radiused edge wall and provides a suitable purchase area for sealing, so that the thus formed bag is less susceptible to fracture particularly when exposed to cryogenic temperatures. The uniform thickness of the bag promulgates uniform heat transfer to and from the contents of the bag in relation to any surrounding medium at a different temperature. The bag affords more space for efficient storage and reduces heat invasion into the contents of the bag when a plurality of bags are placed, with their larger planar surfaces, in contact with each other.

IPC: H01H51/22
Filed: 1999-01-12
Abstract: A miniature electromagnetic relay is capable of increasing the coil packing density, yet assuring electrical insulation of the coil from a core of the electromagnet. The relay includes a pair of movable and fixed contacts, an armature carrying the movable contact, and an electromagnet block having an excitation coil which moves the armature for closing and opening the contacts upon being energized. The electromagnet block includes a generally U-shaped core with a center core and a pair of yokes extending from opposite ends of the center core, flanges of dielectric material molded respectively around portions of the yokes, and a dielectric tape fitted around the center core over substantially the entire length of the center core to receive therearound the excitation coil in an electrically insulating relation from the core. Each of the flanges is formed integrally with an inward sleeve which extends over a limited length along the center core in such a relation that the dielectric tape overlaps the inward sleeves at opposite width ends of the tape. Thus, the coil can be wound over the substantially full length of the core and be successfully insulated from the core over the full length thereof without requiring additional separate member.
