Patent CA-2179096-A1 (CA)
Title: Fetal electrode product with easy-to-handle connector
Inventor: URION KENARD E
IPC: A61B5/344
Filed: 1996-06-13
Abstract: A fetal electrode product for transmitting signals indicative of fetal heart rate from a fetus to a monitor. The product includes a slotted introducer which can be comfortably inserted through the cervix of the mother. A drive mechanism slides and rotates a holder --to which are attached, at opposite ends, a fetal spiral electrode (FSE) and a reference electrode--within the introducer to secure the FSE to the fetus. The solid drive mechanism has a drive rod, a handle on one end of the drive rod imparting translation and rotation to the drive rod, and a clutch on the opposite end of the drive rod imparting translation and rotation to the holder. The drive rod, handle, and clutch each have a channel transporting a twisted wire strand from the electrodes to a connector. The connector has an outside dimension greater than the inner diameter of the introducer to facilitate manipulation. The introducer cannot be pulled over the connector after the FSE is attached to the fetus; the wire strand exits the drive mechanism via its channel and the introducer through its longitudinal slot. A locking slit in the handle securely wedges the twisted wire strand in a fixed position before application of the FSE. A chamfer located at the intersection of the slot with the rearward end of the introducer also positions and helps wedge the twisted wire strand in a fixed position.

Patent CA-2180823-A1 (CA)
Title: Protective Thermostat
Inventor: WERBOWSKY LAURIE L
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 1996-07-09
Abstract: A thermostat monitors the indoor air temperature indicated by the thermostat's indoor air temperature sensor. The monitored indoor air temperature must be within a predefined range of acceptable temperatures to be considered valid. In the event the monitored temperature is outside this predefined range, the thermostat proceeds to read the outdoor air temperature and activate a heating system if the outdoor air temperature reading is below a predefined level.

Patent CA-2182871-A1 (CA)
Title: Shock Tube Assembly
Inventor: SOBCZAK BRIAN R
IPC: C06C5/06
Filed: 1995-03-03
Abstract: A signal transmission tube assembly includes a signal transmission tube (12), such as a coil of shock tube on a spool (10), having opposite terminal ends (14, 16) and containing a reactive material. The open terminal ends (14, 16) of the shock tube provide the sole exits for the signal generated therein and sole entry points for contaminents. Sealing means (18a, 18b) seal both terminal ends (14, 16) of the signal transmission tube (12) against escape from the assembly of the signal engendered by initiated reaction of the reactive material, and protects the interior of the signal transmission tube (12) from contamination. The sealing means (18a, 18b) may be a releasable sealing means (18a, 18b) which can be actuated to release the transmission tube (12) from it, thereby facilitating re-use of the sealing means (18a, 18b). Further, the sealing means (18a, 18b) may comprise a surge chamber (25) to relieve pressure engendered by reaction of the reactive material and thereby militate against rupture of the signal transmission tube (12) and consequent release from the assembly of a signal. A signal-rupturable diaphragm (44) may be interposed between the signal transmission tube (12) and the surge chamber (25).

Title: Hybrid bi-directional wavelength division multiplexing device
Inventor: IP JOSEPH
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 1997-11-05
Abstract: An optical device simultaneously provides a multiplexing and demultiplexing function and combines dichroic WDM filter technology with Bragg grating filter technology.  A plurality of adjacent sequential ports of a multi-port optical circulator serve as a vehicle for launching and receiving a multi-wavelength optical signal to be separated by the Bragg and dichroic filters. Other adjacent sequential ports having similar filters tuned to different wavelengths provide paths for combining the other wavelengths of light into a single signal. Conveniently a single circulating port serves as the input/output port of the device. The configuration can be applied to an optical waveguide structure and, or more particularly to an optical fiber structure. Furthermore this configuration can combine multiplexing/demultiplexing function with a dispersion compensation function by adding a group of fiber Bragg gratings to a port of a circulator.
