Abstract: A mount bracket (30) is provided for an elongate manifold (12) of a heat exchanger (10). The manifold (12) has a longitudinal axis (32) and a mount bracket receiving exterior surface (34) extending over at least a portion of the longitudinal length of the manifold (10). The mount bracket (3) includes a body (40) formed from a single piece of material. The body (40) includes a mount tab (42), first and second opposed bands (44,46) each of which have a first end segment (56,60) spaced from a second-end segment (58,62), a first bridge segment (68) connecting the first end segments (56,60) of the first and second bands (44,46), and a second bridge segment (70) connecting the second end segments (58,62) of the first and second bands (44,46). The mount tab (42) is configured to connect the mount bracket (30) to a structure other than the manifold (12). The first and second opposed bands define a manifold receiving opening (50) shaped to nominally conform to the mount bracket receiving exterior surface (34). The first band (44) is spaced longitudinally from the second band (46) with the bracket (30) mounted on the manifold (12). The first band (44) defines a first portion (54) of the opening (50), and the second band (46) defines a second portion (55) of the opening (50) opposite the first portion (54). The body (40) is permanently deformable from a first state wherein the bands (44,46) will slidably receive the surface (34) in the opening (50) with a slip-fit, and a second state wherein the bands (44,46) will clamp the surface (34) in the opening (50).

Title: Call transfer activation indicator in a radio telecommunications network
Inventor: NGUYEN VIET
IPC: H04M3/54
Filed: 1999-06-29
Abstract: A method of sending a call transfer notification CTN (24) to a mobile station MS (11) in a radio telecommunications network. The CTN indicates that a call transfer feature is activated, and is displayed on the MS display until the call transfer feature is deactivated or the MS is turned off. The network includes a serving Mobile Switching Center MSC (12) which serves the MS, and a Home Location Register HLR (14) which stores a subscriber profile (10) associated with the MS. The method begins by storing in the subscriber profile a CTN Active parameter (17) that indicates whether or not the CTN should be sent to the MS whenever the MS is powered up. A CTN Type parameter (18) is also stored in the subscriber profile and indicates which type of call transfer feature is activated. When the HLR is notified that the MS has been powered up, the CTN Active parameter is checked in the subscriber profile to determine whether the CTN should be sent to the MS. The CTN Type parameter is then checked to determine which type of call transfer feature is activated.  The CTN is then sent from the serving MSC to the MS in a Short Message Service SMS display message which includes an indication of which type of call transfer feature is activated. If the call transfer feature is deactivated, the CTN is removed from the MS display.

Patent CA-2349873-A1 (CA)
Title: Reduced flash molding
Inventor: SKOV ERIK L
IPC: B29C49/48
Filed: 2001-06-06
Abstract: A reduced flash molding process and apparatus useful for a variety of parts, especially flat plastic panels, reduces trimming time, regrind waste, increases production speeds, reduces energy consumption, and reduces part weight. The reduction in flash is made possible by providing side members which close before molding material reaches them. Flash still occurs at the ends of the mold, but is eliminated from the sides. Because the parison can be more carefully managed during molding, the mold can be placed closer to the parison extrusion die, thereby reducing parison swell and sag and permitting more accurate filling of all areas within the mold geometry.

Patent CA-2355788-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GOLDIN ALEXANDER
IPC: A61B5/296
Filed: 2001-08-16
Abstract: A method for intracardially mapping a condition such as an electrical or mechanical property of a chamber of a heart with a catheter having a distal tip and at least one condition sensor contained therein or proximate thereto. The at least one sensor is capable of sensing condition information in the chamber and provides the three-dimensional position of the catheter tip in a positional frame of reference.  The method comprises the steps of acquiring first and second images of the chamber.     The images are acquired from different projections and contain topological information of the chamber. The chamber images are registered with the positional frame of reference. The catheter distal tip is advanced into the catheter and is navigated to acquisition points under the guidance of topological information contained in or derived from the images. Condition and position information are acquired at each of the acquisition points, the points being sufficient in number and spacing to permit the generation of a map of the condition in the chamber. The topological information used to guide the navigation of the catheter is preferably a three dimensional reconstruction of the chamber derived from topological information contained in the images.
Patent CA-2355992-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ARNAL KEVIN
IPC: G11B17/22
Filed: 2001-08-27
Abstract: A media magazine container utilizes a recirculating latch mechanism that makes minimal use of a solenoid and includes a safety door. The latch mechanism includes a contoured latch arm with a configured opening and a shoulder, a slider moving in a slider track and coupled to the latch arm, and a restoring device, such as a spring, for providing a counteractive force. The mechanism latches a magazine into the container by capturing magazine pins in the shoulder of the latch arm. The magazine can be easily unlatched by forcing the latch arm downward with an actuating device, causing the slider and configured opening to interact. As the magazine is extracted from the container, the slider and configured opening interact in such a manner that when the magazine is fully extracted the latch arm is back to the original position where it first received the magazine, and is ready to receive another. A safety door blocks passage to any objects entering the container other than a media magazine. The latch mechanism can further actuate an external access door.
