Title: Meter box ground clamp
Inventor: BALFOUR WILLIAM J
IPC: H01R4/64
Filed: 2004-11-08
Abstract: A meter box ground clamp for clamping a ground wire to a metallic meter box includes a clamp body, a pressure bar, a floating nut, a bolt member and a ground engagement bolt. The clamp body has a base segment and first and second leg segments, each of the leg segments having a laterally extending extension segment for engaging the exterior surface of the meter box drip cap. The pressure bar extends through a slot in the clamp body base segment and has a front segment, disposed below the clamp body extension segments, having a laterally extending groove forming a lip at the pressure bar front end. The floating nut extends through the clamp body base segment slot and includes a front portion having a threaded, vertically extending bore. The bolt member is threadably engaged with the bore of the floating nut front portion for driving the lip of the pressure bar front segment into the meter box overlap joint to electrically connect the ground clamp to the meter box. The threaded shaft of the ground engagement bolt is received within a threaded opening of the pressure bar back segment to clamp a ground wire positioned within a bore of the pressure bar segment.

Patent CA-2489181-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAMVAR MEHRZAD
IPC: F15B21/08
Filed: 2004-12-01
Abstract: A combined scheme of identification and torque control is provided for rotary hydraulic actuators. The composite controller consists of a dynamic feedback linearizing inner loop cascaded with a robust lineal feedback outer loop. The proposed controller allows the actuator to generate desired torque irrespective of the actuator motion. In fact, the controller reduces significantly the impedance of the actuator as seen by its external load, making the system an ideal source of torque suitable for many robotics and automation applications. An identification method to extract the parameters of non-lineal model of actuator dynamics and to estimate a bound for modeling uncertainty, used for synthesis of the outer optimal controller, is also presented. Results are illustrated experimentally on a pitch actuator of a Schilling industrial robot.

Patent CA-2492612-A1 (CA)
Title: System and method for improved retroactive recording and/or replay
Inventor: MAYER YARON
IPC: G11B20/10
Filed: 2004-12-13
Abstract: One of the most frustrating things when recording for example songs from the radio is that many times by the time the user decides that he/she would like to record for example some song, the beginning of the song is already lost. Or the user might zap between radio stations and tune into the station after the song has already started or for example after the beginning of an interesting conversation or message or News item and is frustrated that he missed the beginning of it.  Similarly, for example while zapping through cable TV stations, a user might find for example a fascinating scientific program or a fascinating report and regret that he/she had not seen or recorded it from the start for later reference. The idea of retroactive recording and/or replay has existed already since 1990 and there are a number of patents about it, but they do not deal with the problem of enabling retroactive recording and/or replay also when the user is zapping between channels for example on Radio or on TV. The present invention describes an improved system and method for automatic time-shifted retroactive recording or replay, that applies retroactive recording and/or replay also to a situation of switching between channels. Additional improvements and possible implementations are also shown, including for example improved zapping speed which can be used also without retroactive replay/recording.

Patent CA-2498397-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CAO JIAN
IPC: A61B5/364
Filed: 2003-09-02
Abstract: La présente invention met en oeuvre un algorithme de détection à onde R qui effectue la combinaison unique d'un procédé d'ajustement automatique de seuil avec une nouvelle technique d'élimination de bruit. Cet algorithme présente des avantages importants en évitant la détection des ondes T, des ondes P, et de bruits/d'artéfacts. La détection de la présence de rafales de bruit utilise des éléments qui déterminent si un intervalle R-R adjacent ou interne au signal de bruit est valide. Le circuit qui établit la différence entre les bruits dérivés des ondes R peut utiliser n'importe lequel parmi plusieurs éléments comprenant, mais de manière non exclusive, les suivants : la détection d'événements survenant de manière si proche l'un de l'autre qu'ils se trouvent hors des fréquences cardiaques normales ; le contenu des fréquences qui est plus vaste que les complexes QRS ; des amplitudes qui sont différentes des ondes R adjacentes ou enveloppantes ; et des amplitudes qui présentent une variabilité supérieure à la normale. La présente invention utilise de multiples seuils discrets éventuellement avec des constantes de désintégration radioactive, seuls ou en combinaison avec un ou des seuils de détection de magnitude sensiblement constants.
