Patent CA-2031021-C (CA)
Title: Shuttle shift transmissions
Inventor: BULGRIEN GARTH H
IPC: F16H59/00
Filed: 1990-11-28
Granted: 1999-09-28
Abstract: A microprocessor controlling a shuttle shift transmission may be programmed while the gearshift lever is in neutral to preselect a forward and reverse gear into which the transmission is shifted when the gearshift lever is moved to a forward or reverse position. The microprocessor may also be programmed so that, in shifting between forward and reverse, the forward and reverse gears selected differ by a pre-programmed amount. The microprocessor may be programmed to control vehicle deceleration by selecting gears in the transmission so that the transmission and/or the vehicle engine become a load for decelerating the vehicle. In a diagnostic mode, the microprocessor executes a routine to develop a clutch calibration value which may later be used to insure uniformity of clutch operation in different vehicles, or in the same vehicle over a period of time. The normal speed ratio matching which normally takes place when shifting gears may be manually overridden by operator manipulation of the gearshift lever. The override may either terminate speed ratio matching for a particular shift, or the override may be effective for a fixed interval of time.

Granted: 1994-03-08
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure In an apparatus for laying down a blanket of foam on a waste disposal landfill or the like, an elongate manifold carried across the rear end of a vehicle delivers foam to nozzle assemblies which are spaced apart along the length of the manifold.  Each nozzle assembly includes a holder in the form of a block with a first bore communicating with the manifold and bifurcating into second and third bores which communicate with nozzles having fan-shaped flat spray patterns.  The axes of the bores generally define an inverted Y-configuration with the nozzle of the second bore arranged to spray the foam downwardly to one side and within a plane angled forwardly from a transverse vertical plane with respect to the direction of forward movement of the vehicle, and with the nozzle of the third bore arranged to spray the foam downwardly to the opposite side and within a plane angled rearwardly from the transverse vertical plane.

Title: Process for thinning of stone fruit blossoms
Inventor: BUTSELLAR ROBERT JAN
IPC: A01N33/08
Filed: 1991-06-25
Granted: 2001-08-28
Abstract: A process for thinning stone fruit blossoms is disclosed. In the process, a compound selected from certain alkoxylated amines and alkoxylated quaternary ammonium compounds is ap-plied to stone fruit trees at some point after 50% blossom to thereby reduce the number of blossoms on the stone fruit tree.

Patent CA-2054765-C (CA)
Inventor: DENT PAUL WILKINSON
IPC: H04L27/00
Filed: 1991-02-26
Granted: 1999-01-26
Abstract: L'invention est un circuit électrique servant à produire une valeur numérique représentative de la phase instantanée d'un signal d'entrée électrique par rapport à un signal de référence. Ce circuit comprend un compteur numérique servant à produire de façon continue un compte représentant une valeur résultant de la division du signal de référence par une fréquence de cycle qui est du même ordre de grandeur que la fréquence centrale prévue pour le signal d'entrée. Une unité de déclenchement produit une impulsion de déclenchement quand elle reçoit une impulsion d'échantillonnage et le flanc de transition du signal d'entrée. Un registre intermédiaire stocke l'état du moment du circuit de comptage en réponse à la réception de cette impulsion de déclenchement. Cet état correspond à la phase instantanée du signal d'entrée. Un circuit de correction est utilisé pour corriger la valeur numérique résultante dans le registre intermédiaire en éliminant le déplacement de phase cumulé. Un registre de sortie est utilisé pour stocker la valeur numérique résultante corrigée produite par le circuit de comptage.

Granted: 2003-03-25
Abstract: The present invention re-lates to novel receptor polypep-tides, which, upon interaction with certain ligands, or activation by certain compounds, modulate transcription of certain genes by binding to cognate response ele-ments associated with promoters of such genes. The novel recep-tors of the invention modulate transcription in the presence of retinoid compounds. The recep-tors of the present invention dif-fer significantly from known reti-noid acid receptors, in protein primary sequence and in respon-siveness to exposure to various retinoids. The invention provides DNAs encoding the novel recep-tors, expression vectors for ex-pression of the receptors, cells transformed with such expres-sion vectors, cells co-transformed with such expression vectors and with reporter vectors to monitor modulation of transcription by the receptors, and methods of using such co-transformed cells in screening for compounds which are capable, directly or indirectly, of activating the receptors. The invention also provides nucleic acid probes for identifying DNAs which encode additional retinoid receptors of the same class as the novel receptors disclosed herein.

IPC: F17C13/04
Filed: 1993-11-10
Granted: 2005-05-17
Abstract: A non-refill valve for a non-refillable container, comprising a valve body having an inlet and an outlet and a passage through the valve body interconnecting the inlet and the outlet. A valve stem slides in the passage and has an axial passageway that extends partway therethrough and that terminates laterally in a passageway that extends through a side wall of the stem intermediate the ends of the stem. A ball in the stem rests on a seat on the stem and closes the valve stem passageway against the flow of gas froze the outlet towards the inlet. A first spring urges the ball against the seat to permit flow of gas only in a direction from the inlet to the outlet by displacing the ball from the seat against the action of the first spring in an open position of the valve.      A second spring urges the stem in the direction of the flow of gas from the inlet to the outlet, and a seal acts between the stem and the valve body. The second spring urges the seal into sealing relation with the valve body in a closed position of the valve, whereby when a coupling is attached to the valve body, the coupling urges the stem in a direction opposite the first-mentioned direction and against the action of the second spring to move the seal out of sealing relation with the valve body, thereby to establish communication between the inlet and the outlet when the pressure of a gas in the inlet is sufficient to move the ball off the seat against the action of the first spring.
