Patent CA-2077778-A1 (CA)
Title: Parts positioner
Inventor: FEAR RICHARD L
IPC: B66F7/22
Filed: 1992-09-09
Abstract: ABSTRACT          In a device   for positioning assembly parts the device either raises the parts container vertically or tilts it to allow access to the parts as they are used up.          In this invention the parts container is tilted and then raised vertically. This causes the parts to slide twords the assembler as it tilts and then as the parts are used up the container is raised so that the last part is easily accessible at comfortable reaching hight.          The container is tilted and raised hydraulically and the hydraulic pump driven by an electric motor either A.C. or D.C. or the pump may be manually powered. In the case of electrically powered units push button controls will allow finger tip control of the tilt angle and the hight of the container by the operator.

Title: Floating seal ring
Inventor: MCKENNA JOHN M
IPC: F16J15/44
Filed: 1992-12-10
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION            A   floating  seal  ring  is  disposed  within  a  retainer  ring encircling  a shaft which extends through the retainer ring.  The seal  ring  is  permitted  to  float radially with respect to the shaft  but  is retained axially with respect to the shaft. A pin protrudes  from the seal ring into a bore in the retainer ring to preclude  rotational  movement  of  the seal ring relative to the shaft.    The seal ring has an inner diameter which is greater at one  end thereof than at the other end thereof so that fluid flow through  an annular clearance between the seal ring and the shaft is  accelerated.  In one embodiment, the seal ring has an annular inner  surface  that is tapered.  In another embodiment, the seal ring has an annular inner surface that is stepped.

This provides a 6x7 optical fibre coupler. Also disclosed is a 7x7 optical fibre coupler formed by fusing the coupler during formation sufficiently to provide that the maximum insertion loss through the device between any input and output is minimised.
Patent CA-2088811-A1 (CA)
Title: Method of and apparatus for dispensing batches of soap lather
Inventor: MEYER PAUL
IPC: A47K/
Filed: 1993-02-04
Abstract: A dispenser for soap lather has a vessel for a larger supply of liquid soap and a tank for a smaller supply of liquid soap and for a body of air above the smaller supply.  One or more bellows are used to pump compressed air into the upper portion of the tank when a user desires to obtain a batch of lather.  The compressed air expels a certain quantity of liquid soap from the tank into a lather generator and the lather generator further receives some compressed air to form a batch of lather which is dispensed into or onto the hands of a user.  When the bellows expands or expand, they can draw air into or along the outlet of the lather generator to retract any remnants of lather.  Alternatively, a discrete pump can be provided to blow out any remnants from the lather generator in response to or during expansion of the bellows.   The discharged quantity of liquid soap is replenished in the tank by way of an adjustable conduit connecting the vessel with the tank.

Title: Alignment guide system for transmissive pulse oximetry sensors
Inventor: PELIKAN GLENN L
IPC: A61B5/024
Filed: 1993-08-27
Abstract: ALIGNMENT GUIDE SYSTEM FOR TRANSMISSIVE        PULSE OXIMETRY SENSORS                 Abstract of the Disclosure An alignment guide system for use with conventional pulse oximetry monitors connected to transmissive pulse oximetry sensors. The system generates a bar graph or other display showing the magnitude of the optical coupling between the LED's and light detector used in the sensor. By manipulating the position of the sensor while observing the bar graph, medical practitioners can optimize the amount of light from the LED's reaching the light detector. The bar graph also contains an alarm limit marker. If the bar graph falls below the alarm limit marker, the entire bar graph flashes to alert the medical practitioner that the amount of light transmitted to the LED's to the light detector may not be enough to permit sufficiently accurate oxygen saturation measurements.
