Abstract: A vegetation pruning device (102) includes a pair (114, 116) of pivotably coupled handles and a motor having a rotary output drive (130) for driving an endless flexible cutting chain (108). A guard (162) is moved relative to the chain (108) by means of pivoting of the handles (114, 116) relative to each other to grip vegetation between the guard (162) and the chain (108). A gear mechanism is connected between the guard (162) and the chain (108) such that pivoting of the handles (114, 116) through a first angle relative to each other causes pivoting of the guard and chain through a second angle, larger than the first angle, relative to each other.
Patent CA-2476349-C (CA)
Inventor: PETRY SCOTT MICHAEL
IPC: G06Q50/30
Filed: 2003-02-19
Granted: 2010-09-28
Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic message management system (EMS) that includes a real-time feedback loop where data is collected from the electronic messages on incoming connection attempts, outgoing delivery attempts, and message content analysis, and written to a centralized data matrix. A separate process accesses the data matrix and analyzes trends in that data. The detected data patterns, trends or behavior is based on configuration parameters for the recipient. Based on these determinations, the process is able to instruct components in the EMS to accept, redirect, refuse, modify, defer, or otherwise dispose of the connection request, the delivery attempt, or the message. Associated methods for managing the transmission of electronic messages are also disclosed.

Title: Self calibrating apparatus and method for ultrasonic determination of fluid properties
Inventor: GREENWOOD MARGARET STAUTBERG
IPC: G01N29/22
Filed: 2003-01-14
Granted: 2011-05-03
Abstract: A system and technique for determining fluid properties includes an ultrasonic transducer 30 on a first surface 42 of a solid member 40. An opposed second surface 44 of the member 40 is in contact with a fluid 25 to be monitored. A  longitudinal ultrasonic pulse is delivered through the solid member, and a multiplicity of pulse echoes caused by reflections of the ultrasonic pulse between the solid-fluid interface and the transducer-solid interface are detected and processed by a processing apparatus 22. The apparatus 22 determines the decay rate of the detected echo amplitude as a function of echo number and compares this value to a calibrated decay rate to determine an acoustic property of the fluid. The speed of ultrasound in the fluid is also determined and the fluid density is determined as a function of the speed of ultrasound and the determined acoustic property. When coupled with a shear wave transducer, additional properties corresponding to the fluid viscosity, shear modulus, or shear speed are also determined. Both a fixed in place sensing system and a clamp-on sensing system are disclosed.

Title: Disposable absorbent article having a visibly highlighted wetness sensation member
Inventor: ALLEN PATRICK JAY
IPC: A61F13/42
Filed: 2004-10-29
Granted: 2009-12-22
Abstract: A disposable absorbent article including a wetness sensation member and visible highlighting indicating the presence of the wetness sensation member to facilitate an opportunity for the toilet training of the wearer. The wetness sensation member includes a permeable layer and a flow control layer.  Urine deposited on the wetness sensation member can penetrate through the permeable body-facing layer in a z direction away from the wearer to the flow control layer. The flow control layer retards the passage of the urine through the wetness sensation member in the z direction while supporting the movement of the urine in an x-y plane to increase the wetted area contacting the wearer's skin and thereby enhance the wearer's awareness that urination has occurred. The visible highlighting is visible when viewing a body-facing surface of the article and may be associatively correlated with an externally visible marking and/or with the concept of toilet training.
