Patent CA-2532008-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BELINSKI-WOLFE JUDY A
IPC: H05B33/10
Filed: 2006-01-04
Abstract: There is presented an electroluminescent phosphor powder of copper-activated zinc sulfide particles that has a size distribution with a D50 value of less than 12µm, and more preferably less than 10µm. The powder is preferably made by a method that includes the steps of combining copper-doped zinc sulfide with sulfur, zinc oxide and a chloride-containing flux to form a first mixture; preliminarily firing the first mixture and milling the preliminarily fired first mixture to form a milled material having a D50 value of less than or equal to about 5µm; blending the milled material with sulfur, zinc oxide and a chloride-containing flux to form a second mixture; firing the mixture in a first firing step at a temperature in a range of about 1020°C to about 1080°C to form a hexagonal zinc sulfide material; inducing defects into the hexagonal zinc sulfide material; firing the hexagonal zinc sulfide material in a second firing step at a temperature in a range of about 650°C to about 850°C to form an electroluminescent phosphor; and sifting the electroluminescent phosphor to provide an electroluminescent phosphor powder comprising phosphor particles that have a size distribution with a D50 value of less than 12µm. The step of inducing defects may be accomplished by milling, mulling or sonification of the mixture.

Patent CA-2532851-A1 (CA)
Title: New snow shovel blade
Inventor: TAYLOR RUSSELL JOHN
IPC: E01H5/02
Filed: 2005-12-19
Abstract: In a manually operated snow shovel with a conventional blade, it is known that they consist of a straight shovel blade affixed at the bottom of the handle at a right angle, situated so the middle of the shovel blade attaches at it's center point.  The blade is used to push and lift snow for clearing a number of different areas. This invention tool is specifically unique, in that it is divided in the middle of the blade to allow it to cause an angle to form, to provide a plowing effect when clearing areas such as pathways/sidewalks. Consequently, the end of each side of the blade is pointed backwards towards the handle in such a manner to form an angled "plow".  Instead of having to push and lift the snow away as with a conventional snow shovel blade attachment, this device allows the operator to clear a pathway/sidewalk by simply pushing through the snow and allowing the angled blades to push the snow off in either direction.

Title: Exercise resistance system
Inventor: KISSEL ROBERT
IPC: A63B24/00
Filed: 2004-10-12
Abstract: A set of resistances for an exercise device such as a barbell or an exercise machine includes at least three different values of resistance. In one embodiment the resistances are weights distributed horizontally. The weights can have a binary distribution of resistances, such as one or more five pound weights, one or more ten pound weights, one or more twenty pound weights, one or more forty pound weights, and one or more eighty pound weights. A selector is used to select various combinations of the weights to obtain the desired total resistance.

They may longitudinally adjoin a support surface (31a) of the stringers (31) which are attached to the aircraft fuselage, or longitudinally adjoin an inner area (33a) of a panel of outer skin and are attached to both longitudinal sides of the ribs (32). Furthermore those insulation packages (19-22) may be completely enclosed by a burn-through-proof foil (11) which is arranged in a space enclosed by interior paneling and by the panels of the outer skin. The design of a fuselage insulation package may be implemented with burn-through~proof insulation of a larger cross section and/or a burn-through-proof barrier layer of a smaller cross section which are arranged within the fuselage insulation package either singly or in combination. In this arrangement, the insulation or the barrier layer extends near to or adjacent to an interior wall region of the foil wall. As an alternative only that insulation which on the longitudinal end of the fuselage insulation package continues outward with a flat insulation end section is atteched outside of and adjacent to the foil (11) circumference of the fuselage insulation package (19-22). Said end section of insulation is attached to a rib-attachment region which is arranged below the respective longitudinal sides of a rib (32) and near the stringer (31) by means of burn-through-proof attachment elements (4, 13).
