Patent CA-2321488-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BURDICK JOEL W
IPC: A61B1/055
Filed: 1999-02-19
Abstract: The present invention is an improved apparatus and method for providing variable-angle endoscopic views in a cavity, such as an internal cavity in a human patient. The apparatus includes an elongated tubular portion with a viewer at its proximal end and a reflector assembly at its distal end. The reflector assembly includes a first reflector and a second reflector, with the second reflector rotationally mounted to permit its rotation about an axis generally aligned with an optical path portion passing from the first reflector to the second reflector. The viewer is preferably a camera rotatably secured to the apparatus. A rotator controls rotation of the second reflector and the camera, so that rotation of the second reflector causes a corresponding rotation of the camera. The assembly thus permits near-spherical viewing of the cavity without requiring substantial movement of the endoscope.

Title: Electronic system for monitoring a fifth wheel hitch
Inventor: SCHUTT RANDY L
IPC: B62D53/00
Filed: 2001-01-05
Abstract: An electronic system monitors a trailer hitch assembly that has a hitch plate with a throat for receiving a kingpin of a trailer and a locking mechanism for locking the kingpin in throat. The system determines whether the trailer hitch assembly is properly coupled to the trailer and includes a trailer sensor, a lock sensor, and a control circuit. The trailer sensor senses the position of the trailer relative to the trailer hitch assembly and the lock sensor senses the position of the locking mechanism. The control circuit is coupled to the trailer sensor and the lock sensor. The control circuit determines whether the trailer hitch assembly is properly coupled to the trailer by taking into account the sequence in which the trailer sensor and the lock sensor sense the respective positions of the trailer and the locking mechanism, as well as, the time periods elapsing between the sensing at such positions.

Title: Information security analysis system
Inventor: KAROLCHIK JOSEPH
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 1999-07-20
Abstract: The analysis system is a collection, configuration and integration of software programs that reside on multiple interconnected computer platforms. The software, less computer operating systems, is a combination of sensor, analysis, data conversion, and visualization programs. The hardware platforms consist of several different types of interconnected computers, which share the software programs, data files, and visualization programs via a Local Area Network (LAN). This collection and integration of software and the migration to a single computer platform results in an approach to LAN/WAN monitoring in either a passive and/or active mode. The architecture permits digital data input from external sensors for analysis, display and correlation with data and displays derived from four major software concept groups. These are: Virus Computer Code Detection; Analysis of Computer Source and Executable Code;  Dynamic Monitoring of Data Communication Networks; 3-D Visualization and Animation of Data.

Title: Quick change grinder bit holder
Inventor: HACIKYAN MICHAEL
IPC: B24B1/00
Filed: 2001-04-11
Abstract: The present invention is an expanding device for supporting grinding sleeves. The device has a cylindrical member with an outer bushing unit, an interior bushing unit, an upper control unit, an expanding unit, and a locking mechanism. The outer bushing unit receives the grinding sleeve, and has a first outer diameter of D, and a height H. The interior bushing unit receives a rotatable shaft, has a second outer diameter of I, which is less than D, and a height J, which is less than H. The expanding unit extends from within the upper control unit and between the outer and interior bushing units with protrusions below the outer and interior bushing units. The locking mechanism is interconnected to the upper control unit. And when the locking mechanism is in the unlocked position, a grinding sleeve, which can have diamonds thereon, can be placed on or taken off the outer bushing unit and the device can be placed on or taken off a rotatable shaft.      Obviously, when the locking mechanism is in the locked position, the grinding sleeve is locked in place on the outer bushing unit, and the device is secured to a rotatable shaft because the locking mechanism alter the position of the expanding unit which expands the outer diameter and shortens the height of the outer bushing unit, and simultaneously expands the interior diameter and shortens the height of the interior bushing unit.

Abstract: A carrying aid, particularly an aid for carrying small children between the ages of one to four years, has a seat unit (1) and a waist belt (4) providing support for the weight of the child in the natural position that such children are typically carried, hence the carrying aid relieves the strain on the carrier's arms. Optional shoulder strap (15) can be used to transfer some or most of the child's weight to the carrier's shoulders. The cushion (3) provides additional comfort and stability to the invention. The hinged thigh-pad (2) presses up against the carrier's thigh and ensures that as the seat unit (1) tips outwards at an angle due to the child's weight, the pressure that is exerted into the thigh is evenly and comfortably spread. An optional saddle cover (13) incorporating a storage bag (14) provides additional cushioning for the child and storage space for small items.
