Patent CA-2327601-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FOURNIER GERMAIN
IPC: B27B31/04
Filed: 2000-12-05
Abstract: A turning device for use in concert with a conveyor adapted to feed elongated wood pieces one-by-one to the turning device comprises at least one turning member moveable between an idle position and an operational position, a sensor located upstream of the turning member, for scanning the wood pieces on the conveyor, and an deflector controlled by the sensor and adapted, when actuated, to selectively cause the turning member to be displaced to the operational position for turning a given elongated wood piece on the conveyor to a desired position. The turning member is pivotally mounted to a motorised chain for continuously displacing the turning member adjacent the conveyor. The turning member also includes a guide pin, and the chain drives the turning member along a closed-loop guide track, the turning member having its guide pin engaged in the track . The guide track defines a main section and a secondary section, wherein when in the main section, the turning member remains in its idle position, whereas when the turning member engages the secondary section, it is displaced to its operational position. The deflector is pivotally displaceable between first and second positions by the sensor, whereby in the first position, the turning member displaces in the main section in its idle position, whereas in the second position, the turning member is guided so as to displace in the secondary section in its operational position.

Title: Temps de propagation de phase controle entre faisceaux pour inscription de reseaux de bragg
Inventor: STEPANOV DMITRII
IPC: G02B6/02
Filed: 1999-05-28
Abstract: Au moins deux faisceaux de lumière forment un motif d'interférence (39) pour inscrire une structure en grille sur un guide d'ondes photosensible (38), le motif d'interférence (39) étant régulé par modulation de la phase relative des faisceaux. Cette modulation peut se faire au moyen d'un modulateur de phase (34) électro-optique, magnéto-optique ou acousto-optique ou au moyen d'un modulateur de phase (34) mécanique constitué d'un coin, d'une lame-onde ou d'un masque de phase. Dans le dernier cas, le masque de phase peut également servir de séparateur de faisceaux (33) pour produire les faisceaux. On peut inscrire les grilles élargies en déplaçant le guide d'ondes (38) tout en régulant le déphasage relatif. Ces grilles élargies peuvent comporter des profils chirp, apodisés ou arbitraires. Le bruit peut être réduit au moyen d'une boucle de réaction opto-électronique. Dans un mode de réalisation, la phase relative est modulée au moyen d'un modulateur électro-optique (32) agissant sur un faisceau polarisé, lequel est ensuite séparé en deux faisceaux par un séparateur de faisceaux (33) de polarisation, de manière qu'un faisceau passe à travers une lame demi-onde (34), et crée un motif d'interférence (39).

IPC: H01F7/13
Filed: 1999-05-18
Abstract: A novel solenoid assembly (10) is shown to include a solenoid (14) having an armature (20) and a delay member (40). The delay member (40) delays movement of the armature (20) from a first position to a second position until some desired condition occurs, for example, until a desired period of time has passed, until the solenoid (14) is capable of generating a desired amount of force or until the current applied to the solenoid (14) reaches a desired level. In a preferred embodiment, the delay member (40) is a spring (34) positioned to bias the armature (20) against movement until the desired condition has occurred. In such an embodiment, the spring (34) may be positioned to exert force against a shoulder formed on the armature (20). It is also preferred for the solenoid assembly (10) to include a spacer (24), positioned between the solenoid (14) and the mechanism being controlled by the solenoid (14). The spacer (24) serves to space the armature (20) from the mechanism when the armature (20) is in the first position. In a further embodiment, the solenoid assembly (10) further includes an extension member (26) attached to the arm (22).

Title: Push back storage rack system
Inventor: COURTWRIGHT JAMES A
IPC: B65G1/02
Filed: 2001-02-14
Abstract: A push back storage rack system for storing multiple loads in a single inclined cart lane. Each lane contains at least two wheeled carts, each cart being capable of receiving and storing multiple pallet loads. The carts are vertically spaced so that they can freely slide underneath each other when unloaded. Beginning with the first or lowest level cart in the system, each successively higher cart is also wider and longer than the cart immediately beneath it. The carts are positioned on at least one but potentially two pairs of rectangular tracks or tubes, each tube being capable of supporting two or four individual carts, depending on how the carts are constructed and installed on the tubes. The tubes are mounted on an incline away from a loading end of each lane so that when loads are placed on or are removed from a lane, the carts are biased toward the loading end of the lane by the force of gravity. Each tube has a single, planar upper support surface which has inside and outside edges. The wheels of each cart ride only on either the inside or outside edges of the tubes on which they are mounted, allowing more than one vertically spaced cart to occupy the same tube.

Abstract: A method for supplying strip material for use in manufacturing a feminine hygiene product includes providing a first strip of a moisture acquisition layer which is prone to damage by stretching and/or by compression and by providing a second strip of a moisture absorption material and arranging the first and second strips in overlying relationship. The strips are attached along their edges by ultrasonic welding which is effected simultaneously with slitting of the strips from overlying webs of the materials so that the stronger moisture absorbent layer carries and protects the acquisition layer while the strips are wound together in a traverse wound package of the strip. After packaging, the laminated strips are withdrawn from the package for subsequent use in formation of the end product.

Title: Random access in a mobile telecommunications system
Inventor: ESMAILZADEH RIAZ
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1999-08-31
Abstract: A method is disclosed for processing mobile-originated random access requests (RA1, RA2, RA3) in a mobile telecommunications system (10) that randomly selects new signatures (102) for re-transmissions in the event that collisions have occurred. As such, the random access re-transmissions (RA1, RA2, RA3) are randomized over the signature domain instead of just over the time domain.  Consequently, the disclosed invention significantly shortens random access delays caused by collisions or erroneous arrivals at base station receivers (14), and also significantly reduces the interval between random access re-transmissions (Td).

Title: Screw member
Inventor: WATANABE TETSUYA
IPC: F16B39/30
Filed: 2001-05-08
Abstract: A screw member having a loosening prevention function is provided to improve a fastening power and a relative strength in thread connection. With an arrangement to provide a first crest portion and a second crest portion at the opposite ends of a thread point, a first screw member generates a loosening prevention effect due to elastic deformation of the first crest portion and the second crest portion, with the entire thread flank from the base portion to the point brought into contact with a second screw member on the both surfaces of the thread flanks. With this arrangement, a strong fastening power can be obtained, and a clamping force applied to the thread is distributed over the thread, thereby enabling improvement in the relative strength in thread connection.

IPC: A61B10/00
Filed: 1999-11-01
Abstract: An in vivo imaging device having an illumination system that creates a virtu al source within a tissue region of a subject in a non-invasive manner. The illumination system transforms a maximum amount of illumination energy from a light source into a high contrast illumination pattern. The illumination pattern is projected onto the object plane in a manner that maximizes the depth to which clear images of sub-surface features can be obtained. The hig h intensity portion of the illumination pattern is directed onto the object plane outside the field of view of an image capturing device that detects th e image. In this configuration, scattered light from within the tissue region interacts with the object being imaged. This illumination technique provides  for a high contrast image of sub-surface phenomena such as vein structure, blood flow within veins, gland structure, etc.
