Title: Tilt detector for roll-up door
Inventor: BLAIR WILLIAM J
IPC: G08B13/08
Filed: 1996-03-29
Abstract: The device is based on a tilt-sensing switch of the mercury-bridges-gap type. The device measures the tilt angle of the bottom slat of a roll-down door. If the slat becomes tilted, due for example to one end of the slat becoming snagged in the guideway at the side of the door, the sensor detects the tilt, and arrests the downwards movement of the door, before the slats can spill out and escape from the guideway.

Patent CA-2191285-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHURCH PHILIP MAURICE
IPC: A61B5/053
Filed: 1996-11-26
Abstract: An electrode arrangement for an electrical impedance tomography system comprises a plurality of electrodes in an array mounted in a support medium for supporting the electrodes adjacent a surface of a volume to be imaged, for example the thorax or another body part, a pipeline, the ground, and so on. The electrodes are disposed in two groups, the arrangement being such that, in use, one group will be closer to the surface than the other group. The support medium may have anisotropic conductivity, its conductivity in a direction that, in use, is normal to the surface, being significantly greater than a conductivity in a direction that, in use, is parallel to the surface. The support medium may be rigid, fixing the electrodes fixed spatially relative to each other, and a pliable interface medium be provided to fit between the rigid support and the surface. Such support medium will be conductive, so as to connect the electrodes electrically to the surface, and pliable so as to conform to variations in the relief of the surface.
Patent CA-2192178-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GOULAIT DAVID JOSEPH KENNETH
IPC: B31D1/00
Filed: 1995-06-09
Abstract: A method for the manufacture of one-piece tape tabs to be used with disposable absorbent articles. The first step is to provide a backing substrate upon which the pressure-sensitive adhesive of the tape tab can be applied. Once the backing is provided, the pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied to regions of one side of the backing substrate. The backing substrate is then slit in a direction parallel to the machine direction forming tape tab stock that is preferably fed directly to the taper unit of the absorbent article manufacturing line. The taper unit cuts the tape tab stock comprising the pressure-sensitive adhesive into individual tape tabs, each having a fixed end and releasable end. The fixed end of each tape tab is joined to the chassis of an absorbent article by means of mechanically bonding the fixed end to the absorbent article. The mechanical bonding not only joins the fixed end of the tape tab to the absorbent article, but also forms a region on the outwardly facing surface of the fixed end of the tape tab that acts as a release surface for the pressure-sensitive adhesive. In preferred embodiments, an area of the absorbent article adjacent to the fixed end of the tape tab is also subjected to mechanical bonding. The mechanical bonding forms a region on the surface of the absorbent article that acts a release surface for the pressure-sensitive adhesive disposed on the releasable end of each tape tab.

IPC: H04L12/66
Filed: 1997-03-17
Abstract: In a telecommunications system (8) that comprises communications endpoints (14-15), communications resources (18-20), a communications server (10) that includes a media manager (21), and a network (12) that interconnects them all, a first endpoint (14) provides the media manager with an offer of a connection to a second endpoint (15) that specifies attributes desired for the connection by the first endpoint. The media manager registers the request and forwards it to the second endpoint. When the second endpoint responds with an acceptance of the connectionthat specifies attributes desired for the connection by the second endpoint, the media manager compares the registered offer with the received acceptance to determine any resources that are needed to bridge any differences between their attributes and to effect the connection. The media manager then marshals any needed resources for the connection, sends a modified acceptance to any marshaled resource telling it the address of the second endpoint to connect to, sends a modified acceptance to the first endpoint that tells it the address of any marshaled resource, or of the second endpoint in the absence of any marshaled resource, to connect to, and leaves it up to theendpoints and marshaled resources to interact with the network to effect the connection through the network. The media manager can therefore provide centralized call control for substantially any network, and can treat all networks generically and leave it up to the endpoints to deal with the particulars of anyspecific network. Communication between multiple such telecommunications systems (8, 9) can also be effected thereby.
