Patent CA-2627445-A1 (CA)
Title: Valves controlling flow
Inventor: BILLINGS DAVID ROBERT
IPC: F16K3/22
Filed: 2006-10-24
Abstract: Valves controlling flow of gas or liquid, where compressible material is trapped within a rigid housing to provide a leak-proof seal surrounding an longitudinally movable rigid shaft. Where the shaft has a hollow channel and perpendicular ports to the outer surface, it allows for on and off control and is called a hollow shaft valve. If the shaft has diametric reductions on its outer surface, the valve allows for variable control. Creating a series of hollow shaft valves and variable shaft valves on a single shaft allows multiple functions through a single seal to create a serial shaft valve. The technology also allows for the precise and indexed variable control of fluid flow through a variable shaft valve by having a bayonet style system to precisely actuate orifice size rather than a rotary handle. This arrangement has application in a wide variety of situations including chlorination valves.  In the case of automobiles, the valve used to vent fuel in the case of an accident can be triggered by mechanical means, such as an airbag deployment sensor system.

Title: Apparatus for keeping a down hole drilling tool vertically aligned
Inventor: WENZEL KENNETH H
IPC: E21B17/10
Filed: 2007-03-16
Abstract: An apparatus (10) for keeping a down hole drilling tool vertically uses a pendulum (36). The pendulum (36) controls flow from outlets (34) of drilling fluid chambers (30), providing drilling fluid to centralizer (24) activating pistons (26) acting upon centralizer blades (24). When the outer housing (12) deviates from a vertical orientation, the pendulum (36) swings by force of gravity to assume an angularly offset pivotal position. This adjusts the hydraulic pressure in one or two of the outlets (34) for one or two of the drilling fluid chambers (30) resulting in a change in the hydraulic force acting upon one or two of the pistons (26) causing one of the centralizers (24) to change their position to urge the outer housing (12) back toward the vertical position until the pendulum (36) again assumes the concentric pivotal position and the balanced pressure equilibrium in the drilling fluid chambers (30) is restored.

Patent CA-2649187-A1 (CA)
Title: Photoplethysmography
Inventor: CROWE JOHN
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2007-04-11
Abstract: A photoplethysmograph device includes a light source for illuminating a target object. A modulator drives the light source such that the output intensity varies as a function of a modulation signal at a modulation frequency. A detector receives light from the target object and generates an electrical output as a function of the intensity of received light. A demodulator with a local oscillator receives the detector output and produces a demodulated output representative of the modulation signal. The demodulator is insensitive to any phase difference between the modulation signal and the oscillator of the demodulator. From the demodulated output, a signal indicative of blood volume as a function of time and / or blood composition is generated. A number of demodulators may be provided to derive signals from multiple light sources of different wavelengths, or from an array of detectors. The plethysmograph may operate in a transmission mode or a reflectance mode. When in a reflectance mode, the device may use the green part of the optical spectrum and may use polarising filters.
