Patent CA-2089005-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHAPMAN JOHN
IPC: A01N1/02
Filed: 1992-06-15
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'inactivation de germes pathogènes dans un liquide biologique, tel que du plasma, des globules rouges, des plaquettes, des leukocytes et de la moelle osseuse. Le procédé réduit au minimum les effets indésirables provoqués par les agents photosensibles tout en conservant l'activité de désinfection desdits agents et procédés. Conformément à l'invention, avant irradiation d'un liquide biologique contenant un médicament photoactif, le liquide extra-cellulaire, lequel dans le cas de constituants du sang comprend des protéines du plasma, est au moins sensiblement réduit. De plus, après irradiation, on empêche le liquide biologique obtenu de venir au contact d'un autre liquide extra-cellulaire, par exemple des protéines du plasma, pendant une durée prédéfinie.

Filed: 1992-08-31
Abstract: AUTOMATED INDUSTRIAL PROCESS SIMULATOR            ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE    An interactive training system  (10)  for simulating industrial equipment and processes.  The system (10) can operate in both free play and procedural modes.   The system (10) includes a plurality of displays (160, 168) simulating  views  of  the  industrial  equipment  and processes.   Graphics overlays are used to simulate the appearance of displays and manipulable controls on the equipment.  The graphics overlays are manipulated by the user by means of touch-sensitive screens  (24,  98)  to simulate the operation of actual controls.   Glass I/O software (96) controls the touch screen input and display generation.    Simulation  software  (128)  controls  the commands which generate the simulated visual and audio outputs.   A procedure monitor software  (120)  specifies what presentations are to be made based on internally stored courseware.  The system (10) can be utilized by a user entirely by means of the touch screen  (24)  thus avoiding the necessity of using a keyboard.  Significant cost savings result from avoidance of the use of actual industrial equipment for training.

Inventor: RUSH GUS A III
IPC: A41D13/018
Filed: 1993-10-19
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE          A helmet has attached to its lower rim an inflatable bag which normally is folded so as not to restrict normal head and neck movements of the wearer but on inflation will fill the gap between the helmet rim and shoulders of a wearer. Carried by the helmet and preferably packed with the bag is a package  including  a  conventional  gas generator, igniter and battery.   A switch to operate the igniter is located on the crown area of the exterior surface of the helmet and is closable on an impact with a predetermined force on the crown of the helmet.      When   closed   the   bag   is   almost instantaneously  inflated  and  fills  the  gap  to transfer most if not all of the impact force to the shoulders  and  relieve  the  cervical  spine  of  a damaging  axial  compressive  force.    In  another version, shoulder pads are provided in which there is an attachment in the form of an inflatable bag on the inner rim encircling the neck of the wearer. The inflatable bag inflates upon the impact upon the crown area of the exterior surface of the helmet to extend  inwards,  just  enough  to  instantaneously broaden  the  foundation on  which  the  helmet attachment  can  rest  when  deployed  upon  impact without harming the wearer's neck.

Patent CA-2119334-A1 (CA)
Title: Protocol for packet data communication system
Inventor: TYMES LAROY
IPC: H04B1/713
Filed: 1994-03-17
Abstract: A packet data transmission system is used to link a number of remote hand-held data-gathering units such as bar code readers to a central computer. Data packets are sent from the remote units by a spread spectrum RF link to intermediate base stations, then sent by the base stations to the central computer by a serial link. The remote hand-held units initiate an RF exchange to and from the bass stations, receiving only during a time window following a transmission from the remote unit. The base stations cannot initiate an exchange with the remote units, but instead send data to the remote units only as part of the exchange. To alert a remote unit when a message is waiting at a base station to be sent to a particular unit, some of the acknowledge (base-to-remote) packets sent by the base station may contain an identification such as a list of all remote units (identified by ID number) which have messages waiting. Alternatively, a bit map can be used to identify these remotes. These base-to-remote packets with the identification of remotes with messages waiting are called "announcements." Each remote unit (if not engaged in regular exchanges for a time interval) periodically listens (activates its receiver) to receive an announcement packet containing such a list or bit map and decodes this announcement to see if it has a message waiting. If so, this remote unit then sends a transmit packet so the base can send the waiting message in an acknowledge packet.
