Patent CA-2413976-A1 (CA)
Title: Biosensor apparatus and method with sample type and volume detection
Inventor: KERMANI MAHYAR Z
IPC: G01N33/487
Filed: 2002-12-11
Abstract: A biosensor apparatus and method with sample type and cell volume detection.  The apparatus includes a sine wave generator to apply an AC signal to a biosensor cell containing a sample, a current-to-voltage converter, a phase shifter, a square wave generator, a synchronous demodulator, and a low pass filter which yields a signal proportional to the effective capacitance across the biosensor cell, which is proportional to the volume of the sample. In addition, the current-to-voltage converter yields a signal indicative of the type of sample contained within the biosensor cell. The method includes applying a sine wave to the biosensor cell, shifting the phase of the resultant signal, generating a square wave synchronous with the sine wave, demodulating the resultant signal with the square wave, and filtering the demodulated signal to produce a signal proportional to the effective capacitance across the biosensor cell. The biosensor apparatus and method are capable of determining sample type and measuring glucose levels over a wide range of sample volumes.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un distributeur automatique (1) qui est logé dans une enceinte légère mais robuste (2) constituée d'une coque extérieure en tôle (18) et d'une paroi de garnissage intérieure en plastique sans soudure (22), entre lesquelles est injecté un certain volume de matériau en mousse synthétique expansée. Un ou plusieurs magasins à produits (3, 77) sont contenus amovibles dans l'enceinte. Un clavier, un affichage alphanumérique et un lecteur de carte sont logés dans la porte (4) fermant la face frontale de l'enceinte. Un module moteur d'entraînement (61) et un encaisseur automatique de pièces de monnaie (7) sont montés amovibles contre la paroi de garnissage intérieure. Grâce à l'absence d'une structure complexe ou fragile, cette machine peut être réapprovisionnée, nettoyée et aseptisée en quelques minutes. Une paire de distributeurs automatiques, l'un contenant des en-cas et l'autre des boissons en boîte, sont couplés de façon à travailler ensemble et distribuer des combinaisons de produits à partir d'un seul panneau de commande. A la fois le magasin contenant les boissons et le magasin contenant les en-cas sont entraînés par le même type de module moteur monté à l'intérieur de la paroi interne. Ces machines sont utilisées en association avec un procédé centralisé de vente de produits par l'intermédiaire de plusieurs de ces machines installées dans divers sites d'utilisateurs. Les magasins sont remplis au centre d'approvisionnement et distribués selon des trajets de livraison préétablis. Le réapprovisionnement de chaque machine consiste essentiellement à ouvrir la machine, à retirer le magasin préalablement installé, à le remplacer par un nouveau magasin plein et à verrouiller la machine sans aucune comptabilité des produits ou de l'argent et sans aucun autre travail de maintenance.

Title: Magnetic tilt and raise/lower mechanisms for a venetian blind
Inventor: BERGER DAVID BARRY
IPC: E06B9/264
Filed: 2004-02-19
Abstract: Magnetic tilt and raise/lower mechanisms for a venetian blind disposed between the glass panes of a multi-pane window are disclosed. The magnetic mechanisms act on tilt lines and a raise/lower line coupled to the venetian blind. An inner follower carriage is magnetically coupled to an external carriage moveable over one of the glass panes. Movement of the external carriage imparts movement of the follower carriage, which in turn actuates the tilt or raise/lower lines, causing the venetian blind to move. The inner follower carriage and the external carriage include at least one magnet assembly mounted on at least one wheel set to facilitate movement of the carriages over the glass panes as well as to reduce the force required to raise or lower the venetian blind. A multiplier is employed to reduce the stroke length required to raise or lower the venetian blind. Further, a clutch coupling an external slider to the external carriage is provided and to disconnect the slider from the external carriage upon the application of a force exceeding a threshold level.
