Patent CA-2182959-C (CA)
Title: Holder for annealing fiber optic coils
Inventor: CRONK BRYON J
IPC: G02B6/255
Filed: 1995-01-31
Granted: 2003-08-19
Abstract: A holder for annealing a fiber op- tic coil uses a silica ring on a silica substrate, or silica tubular coil, either of which may be directly incorporated into a coil subassembly for a Faraday-effect current sensor.  The ring may be formed in a silica plate by sandblasting or grind- ing, or formed separately and adhered to the plate.  In the tubular holder embodi- ment, silica tubes and sleeves are used to protect fusion splices between the ends of the fiber coil and polarizing fibers.  Use of silica for most of the subassembly com- ponents matches the coefficients of ther- mal expansion of the subassembly to that of the fiber coil, and also allows the coil to be annealed at extremely high tempera- tures.  Annealing yields fiber coils of low- ered birefringence, particularly when used with spun fibers. Ferrules are used to ad- just the angular orientation of the fibers with respect to their planes of polariza- tion.

Title: Hand-bag
Inventor: ROCHEFORT PAUL
IPC: B65D33/00
Filed: 1996-08-27
Granted: 2000-05-09
Abstract: The manual collection and containment of material may require tools of various nature, gloves and bag.  In this invention, the characteristics of both glove and bag are combined into a single article.  The invention enables the user to manually gather and collect material by means of a glove portion defined by individual finger compartments incorporated within the closed end of the bag and so disposed to create a web-like structure surrounding the individual compartments, and contain material by turning the bag inside out so as to completely enclose the material being retained by the hand inside the bag.  Individual finger compartments enhance both manual and digital dexterity and greatly facilitate the collection, retention and containment process.  The bag is of suitable lenght and width to easely insert and accommodate the band and render the containment process effortless.  Utilization of the invention prevents direct skin contact with material to be collected and contained by the article.  The bag may be closed by knotting together handles or flaps, drawstring(s), zip locks, glue/heat seals or by any other suitable means for closing/sealing purposes.

Title: Continuous passive motion device for upper extremity forearm therapy
Inventor: SARINGER JOHN H
IPC: A61H1/00
Filed: 1997-09-26
Granted: 2005-12-06
Abstract: A continuous passive motion (CPM) device for the synovial joints and surrounding soft tissue of the human body, more specifically to the upper extremities. The device includes an upper arm support suitably fixed to a drive actuator and a adjustable forearm support attached to the rotational center of the drive actuator so that pivotal movement of the output causes the forearm support to pivot about an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the forearm support.   Various cuffs are provided so a patient can secure their upper arm above the elbow and the upper forearm below the elbow to the device with the actuator located either forward of or behind the elbow. The rotational motion of pronation and supination is created by aligning the rotational center of the actuator output with the anatomical rotational center of the forearm. The rotational centers are concentric to minimize stresses on the affected limb. The relative rotational motion between the upper support and forearm support creates the passive anatomical motion of pronation and supination.

Abstract: A fiber reinforced composite wood flooring is designed particularly for use in van-type truck trailers which experience adverse operating conditions due to heavy lift truck traffic on the top side and water spray during rainy periods on the bottom side. The composite wood flooring comprises edge-glued laminated wood boards (16) which are underlaid with a thin fiber reinforced plastic (17). The top surface of the composite wood floor is the same as that of a conventional laminated wood floor. The fiber reinforced plastic underlay is composed of glass and/or carbon fibers embedded in a polymeric resin such as epoxy, phenolic or vinyl ester. The resin holds the glass fibers together and also bonds the reinforcements to the laminated wood boards. The reinforcement is designed to enhance the mechanical properties of the flooring in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the floor and also to provide better bonding to the wood. The fiber reinforced plastic improves the fatigue resistance of the composite wood flooring and prevents water leakage into the trailer through the floor boards. The composite wood floor board may be fastened with fasteners (13) to cross-members having an I-section (14).
