Abstract: A thermal imager system for use in a vehicle utilizes an uncooled microbolometer detector array (19), optics (13) for conducting scene radiation to the array within a sensor module (12) which is separate from an image processing and display unit (39), to provide a small, direct view sensor module (12) that may be oriented for forward viewing. The sensor module (12) is mounted external to the vehicle and the image processing and display unit (39) is mounted internal to the vehicle, and the two are connected by a noise immune bidirectional digital communication path or harness (37). The optics (13) consist exclusively of refractive optical components (14, 16) providing a straight line radiation path from the scene to the array (19).

Abstract: An in-ground lighting apparatus (10) has an enclosure for placement below the surface of the earth and a lamp is mounted for adjustably positioning in the housing. In the improvement, the lamp base (43) and lamp are supported by two pivot-mounted brackets. The brackets are spaced from the lamp rim (45) and provide lamp-grasping clearance between them for easy re-lumping. And the brackets permit the lamp to be adjusted to light anywhere within a cone-shaped 360.degree. envelope. The lamp is supported solely by its base (43). In a particular embodiment configured for use with HID lamps, the lamp and ballast assembly are constructed as an "integrated" unit which is easily lifted from the enclosure for service.

Granted: 2007-03-27
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système optique de contrôle monté sur une machine de fabrication< >(200) de cigarettes ou un système similaire et détectant la présence de bandes (5) présentant des largeurs ou des espaces irréguliers. En réaction à la détection de bandes irrégulières (5), le système de contrôle optique donne l'ordre à ladite machine de fabrication (200) de rejeter les cigarettes qui seront obtenues à partir du papier à cigarettes comprenant ces bandes irrégulières. Le système précité comprend un capteur (210) pouvant recevoir différents types de papier à cigarettes, ainsi qu'un matériau de bandes ayant des caractéristiques de réflectance variées. Pendant le fonctionnement, le circuit de détection détecte la gamme de tensions produite par le capteur (210) et élabore une valeur de crête (ou une valeur de crête moyenne) pour la gamme de tensions. Le circuit utilise ensuite un pourcentage de cette valeur de crête pour établir une valeur de seuil, laquelle est comparée au signal par courant alternatif provenant du capteur (210). Si ce signal dépasse le seuil, le circuit active un signal pour indiquer la présence d'une bande. Le signal du capteur est injecté dans un ordinateur (212) qui détermine si les bandes détectées par le capteur (210) présentent des bandes avec des largeurs et des espaces réguliers.

Abstract: In a heat generator for a vehicle according to the present invention, an operation chamber defined in the heat generator is composed of a heat generation area (7) which receives therein a rotor, a storage area (8) which contains viscous fluid, and a boundary opening (9) of a relatively large surface area, which connects the two areas. The boundary opening is provided with a pair of transfer openings (35A, 35B) in a point-symmetric arrangement with respect to the rotation axis C of the rotor. Guide portions (41A, 41B), each corresponding to each of the openings, are provided in the storage area.   With this structure, since at least one of the transfer openings and the guide portion corresponding thereto are located below the surface level L of the viscous fluid regardless of the attachment angle of the heat generator, the exchange and circulation of the viscous fluid can be carried out between the heat generation area and the storage area, in accordance with the rotation of the rotor.

Granted: 2009-05-19
Abstract: An organ manipulator including at least one suction member or adhesive disc mounted to a compliant joint, a flexible locking arm for mounting such suction member or compliant joint, and a method for retracting and suspending an organ in a retracted position using suction (or adhesive force) so that the organ is free to move normally (e.g., to beat or undergo other limited-amplitude motion) in at least the vertical direction during both steps. In preferred embodiments, a suction member exerts suction to retract a beating heart and suspend it in a retracted position during surgery. As the retracted heart beats, the compliant joint allows it to expand and contract freely (and otherwise move naturally) at least in the vertical direction so that hemodynamic function is not compromised.
Patent CA-2388210-C (CA)

IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 2000-10-05
Granted: 2008-04-29
Abstract: A system for security and authorization processing in digital terminals. The processing load of a security processor (250) at the terminal (150) is reduced by configuring a multiple applications manager (MAM) (240) to determine if frequently--transmitted application data should be downloaded. The security processor is used by the MAM to build a local virtual application table (260) that indicates which applications are authorized for downloading.  The security processor configures the terminal with an authorization state so that it knows which applications it is authorized to download, i.e., the applications (316', 334', 376') whose required authorization state correlate with the terminal's configured authorization state. The security processor is accessed when the terminals authorization state changes, or when a required authorization state of an application changes. These events are typically relatively infrequent.
