Title: Leakage current detection interrupter with sensor module for detecting abnormal non-electrical conditions
Inventor: CAMPOLO STEVE
IPC: H01R13/66
Filed: 2005-06-17
Abstract: In the present invention the basic detection and interruption components of a Leakage Current Detector Interrupter (LCDI) in combination with a sensor module are coupled to a conductor such as a shield conductor of an extension or appliance cord having line, neutral, possibly ground and shield conductors to provide a new improved type of detector which interrupts current to a load when an abnormal non-electrical condition such as smoke, high heat, high or low pressure, etc.  is detected by the sensor module. The sensor module in combination with the LCDI provides, either singularly or in combination, the following advantages: A sensor module that need not be rated to carry the full electrical load required by the appliance because the LCDI can operate with a nominal low current signal; Prevents the LCDI from being reset should the device become inoperative (reset lockout); Tests the integrity of the conductor from the sensor module within the extension or appliance cord, in addition to testing the functionality of the LCDI; and, Can interrupt current to the load if an electrical connection is detected between the sensor module conductor and neutral, or the sensor module conductor and ground.

Patent CA-2515930-A1 (CA)
Title: Vehicle wheel
Inventor: JANSSON SVEN A
IPC: B60C11/16
Filed: 2004-02-06
Abstract: A vehicle wheel with inflatable tyres, mounted on the same rim. One of the tyres (1) , called a summer tyre, has a tread suitable for summer use and at least one additional tyre (10), called a winter tyre, with a tread suitable for winter use. The winter tyre (or tyres) is mounted on the side of the summer tyre and is, in summer conditions, not fully inflated and hence not in contact with the road surface, because its circumference in its semi-inflated state has a shorter radius than that of the circumference of the summer tyre.  The winter tyre (10) is securely attached to the outer surface of a concentric volume accumulator (7), which is part of the wheel rim and functions as a constantly available spare tyre. When inflated, the winter tyre (10) can expand, so that it has the same outer radius as the summer tyre (1) and thus also comes into contact with the road surface. After that, the pressure of the summer tyre is lowered and the area of contact with the road surface is redistributed to the winter tyre (or tyres).

Abstract: La présente invention est un revêtement de sol utilisant le bois transformé thermiquement comme matière première. Le bois de plancher thermotransformé est très différent par ses propriétés physiques améliorées. Le revétement ainsi obtenu sert à des fins résidentiels, commercial et/ou industriel dépendamment de l'essence utilisée. Le bois chauffé à haute température acquiert une meilleure résistance dimensionnelle dans les milieu x où il y a de grand écart d'humidité et de température. Le plancher est donc très stable, durable et surtout écologique. En plus, le procédé confère au bois une teinte unique qu i le distingue des autres essences. L'avantage principal de ce produit est la possibilité d e l'installer sur le béton où seul les planchers d'ingénieries peuvent présentement être appliqués.

Title: Dumbbell support ledge
Inventor: RAE JAMES DOUGLAS
IPC: A63B21/078
Filed: 2005-10-21
Abstract: This is a dumbbell support device called a dumbbell support ledge that can be placed on a power rack, a dumbbell support ledge rack or another type of weight lifting structure. The dumbbell support ledge rack is the support structure specifically designed to accommodate the dumbbell support ledge. The dumbbell support ledge consists of an inclined surface that is used for the dumbbells to rest on and a rectangular back piece used as a backstop for the dumbbells. The opposite ends of the device can attach anywhere on the adjustable safety spotter bars of a power rack, or they can be placed on the supports of the dumbbell support ledge rack itself. Securing pins at the bottom of the ends of the device secure the device on the safety spotter bars. This device eliminates the need for a spotter and makes it easy to remove the dumbbells from the device.  It also makes it easy to place the dumbbells back on the device when an exercise set is completed.
