Patent CA-2177218-C (CA)
Title: Protective sports glove
Inventor: BIANCHI SANDRO
IPC: A63B71/14
Filed: 1996-05-23
Granted: 1998-06-30
Abstract: The invention provides a hockey glove in which the flexibility of the fingers is substantially increased without detracting from the protection provided by padding along the back of the glove. Stalls are provided for the fingers in which a portion of each stall is not attached to the padding along the back of the finger, but is isolated from the padding overlaying the stall and only resiliently attached thereto so that when the fingers are flexed the padding follows the flexing motion, but restricts it only minimally. In a preferred embodiment an elastic strap is provided to form a resilient web between the isolated portion of each finger and its associated padding. When the fingers are flexed, the isolated portions of the stalls allow the fingers a greater freedom of movement while the fingers remain protected by the overlying padding because the elastic strap pulls the sections of padding along with the stalls. The thumb stall may optionally be similarly constructed.

Abstract: Appareil de dégivrage pour réfrigérateur et mode d'emploi de l'appareil. La partie réfrigérateur (3) est refroidie indépendamment de la température intérieure de la partie congélateur (2) lorsque la température intérieure de la partie réfrigérateur (3) passe au-dessus d'une valeur prédéterminée, de façon que cette température reste inférieure à la valeur en question. L'opération de dégivrage s'effectue selon la durée de fonctionnement du compresseur et du ventilateur (44) de la partie réfrigérateur lorsque la température intérieure de la partie réfrigérateur (3) est supérieure à la valeur prédéterminée, même si le compresseur et le ventilateur de la partie réfrigérateur fonctionnent constamment. Il est ainsi possible d'obtenir un refroidissement plus efficace. Pour une opération de refroidissement rapide, on détermine avec précision le moment où commence le dégivrage de la partie réfrigérateur (3) en calculant le gradient de la chute de température en fonction de la variation de la température intérieure de la partie réfrigérateur (3). Pour une opération de congélation rapide, on détermine avec précision le moment où commence le dégivrage de la partie congélateur en calculant le gradient de la chute de température en fonction de la variation de la température intérieure de la partie congélateur.

Title: Wheel failure detection and warning system
Inventor: BABLUCK ROGER A N
IPC: G01M17/013
Filed: 1997-03-07
Granted: 2000-10-10
Abstract: A system for detecting and signalling the failure of a wheel or a wheel set of a truck or trailer type of vehicle includes a plurality of equiangularly spaced magnets fixed to the wheel rim and facing inwardly of the vehicle to define a magnet plane.  An induction-type sensor is mounted to a non-rotating axle support opposite the magnets so as to have a train of electrical pulses magnetically induced therein should a  rotating magnetic field created by the rotating magnets intrude into a predetermined acceptable spacing of the magnet plane from the sensor.  The sensor is connected to a transformer which will step up the sensor signal to activate an indicator in the vehicle cab to warn the operator of an imminent wheel failure.  The threshold signal strength is determined for each wheel of the vehicle and is based on the acceptable spacing of the magnet plane from the sensor accommodating vehicle loading and dynamic effects such a vehicle speed and anticipated road conditions. If the magnet plane intrudes into the acceptable spacing, due for example to a wheel failure caused by broken lug bolts or due to excessive overloading, the induced signal at the sensor will be stepped up by the transformer to a level that will activate the indicator in the cab.  The indicator will give an audible or a visible signal to the operator and the operator should, in response thereto, stop his vehicle, inspect the wheel, and take appropriate action to correct the problem.

Abstract: Image data is processed consisting of a first data set representing a polarity of moving objects and a second data set derived from two dimensional video frames. Three dimensional video objects are perceived as moving in three dimensional space in response to a trajectory definition. The trajectories of the moving objects is modified in response to the position of the two dimensional video frames. The modification may be affected in response to a matte or key signal derived from the video images, allowing the foreground video image to be combined with three dimensional moving particles.

Title: Railway crossing collision avoidance system
Inventor: WELK JAMES E
IPC: B61L29/24
Filed: 1997-07-14
Granted: 2002-03-26
Abstract: With the vehicle anti-collision system of the present invention, road vehicles in the vicinity of a railway crossing are alerted as a train approaches the crossing. A signalling device operating in conjunction with a GPS receiver located in the train emits a signal to a receiver located at the railway crossing to provide an indication of the rail vehicle's location with respect to the railway crossing. The signal is sent continuously at predetermined intervals to provide the railway crossing with sufficient data to estimate the velocity and time of arrival of the train or railway vehicle at the crossing. The railway crossing processes the information and transmits an alarm signal to approaching road vehicles as the rail vehicle approaches the crossing. The signal emitted by the crossing is received at the road vehicle which provides various levels of alarms depending on how close the rail vehicle is to the crossing. The communications between the railroad vehicle and the crossing monitor are preferably by satellite link. A sensor is also preferably provided at the crossing to detect an object on the crossing when the rail vehicle is approaching.

Abstract: A technique for automatically priming and recirculating sterile fluid through an extracorporeal circuit of a dialysis machine having a blood pump, a dialyzer (54), and a blood tubing set including an arterial line (38) for drawing blood from a patient and a venous line (66) for returning the blood to the patient. The dialysis machine selectively opens and closes clamps (40 and 72) on the arterial and venous lines and further operates a waste valve (106) leading to a waste drain (86). A connector (102) attaches the arterial and venous lines to the waste valve during the priming procedure. The dialysis machine automatically operates the blood pump, the clamps and the waste valve to flush the dialyzer and the blood tubing set with sterile fluid, direct the used fluid down the waste drain and recirculate additional sterile fluid through the extracorporeal circuit.

Granted: 2001-10-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus for converting a conventional mechanical or hydraulic system for driving the infeed and outfeed rolls of a planer mill or a similar conveyor to variable frequency electric power. The method involves disconnecting the roller shafts from pre-existing mechanical and hydraulic drive components housed within the conveyor gearbox or other support frame. The electric motors are mounted at fixed positions on a panel rigidly connected to the gearbox or other support frame at a location spaced-apart from the roller shafts. Each motor is coupled to a corresponding roller shaft by means of a connector drive shaft having universal joint couplers at each end thereof. This arrangement permits displacement of the roller shafts during normal operation of the conveyor without transferring torque forces to the electric motors. The speed of each motor and hence each roller may be independently controlled by a frequency inverter which is operable by remote control.

Filed: 1996-09-27
Granted: 2001-06-05
Abstract: A container inspection system for inspecting a moving container (116) includes a radiation source (102) positioned to direct radiation at the moving container. A radiation detector (104) is positioned to receive a portion of the radiation from the radiation source that is not absorbed or blocked by the moving container and to generate electrical signals in response thereto.  Processing circuitry (106) produces multi-dimensional image data for the moving container based on the electrical signals generated by the radiation detector, and compares at least a first portion of the multi-dimensional image data to a corresponding portion of the multi-dimensional image data for a standard container. Thereafter, the processing circuitry determines, based on a result of the comparison, one or more characteristics including the fill level of the container, whether the container is underfilled, whether the container is overfilled, whether the container is properly pressurized, and whether the container is sealed.
