Patent CA-2501230-C (CA)
Title: Dispensing device and method
Inventor: SMITH ERIC W
IPC: E04F21/165
Filed: 2005-03-16
Granted: 2012-07-10
Abstract: A dispensing device and method, especially adapted for use in sealing high pressure fluid leaks, is disclosed. Such use requires high pressure dispensing of sealant. Such sealants are formed by an exothermic reaction of at least two liquid substances that generates high pressures within the dispensing device. Such pressures could potentially harm the feeding system of the device due to pressure backflow. This problem is solved by providing a check valve in the mixing and reaction chamber of the device to protect the feeding system. A static mixer is disposed within the chamber to enhance mixing and reaction of the substances.

Title: Semiconductor photodetector with internal reflector
Inventor: BLAUVELT HENRY A
IPC: H01L35/24
Filed: 2003-09-12
Granted: 2014-11-18
Abstract: A photodetector comprises a semiconductor substrate with entrance and reflecting faces formed at the substrate upper surface. The reflecting face forms an acute angle with the substrate surface and is positioned so that an optical beam transmitted through the entrance face into the substrate is internally reflected from the reflecting face toward the substrate upper surface. A photodetector active region is formed on the substrate upper surface and is positioned so that the reflected optical beam impinges on the active region. The photodetector may be mounted on a second substrate for receiving an optical beam from a planar waveguide formed on the second substrate or an optical fiber mounted in a groove on the second substrate.

Title: Systeme de freinage et d'arret de mouvement pour cable aerien
Inventor: STEELE CHARLES Z
IPC: B61H9/02
Filed: 2005-04-08
Granted: 2009-06-16
Abstract: Un système de freinage et d'arrêt de mouvement pour l'arrivée d'un utilisateur de câble aérien à une plate-forme d'atterrissage et pour arrêter le mouvement de l'utilisateur afin de retenir l'utilisateur sur la plate-forme. Un châssis est monté sur le câble pour permettre le mouvement longitudinal du châssis roulant le long du câble. Un bec à fermeture automatique et à sens unique est prévu à l'extrémité avant du châssis. Le bec comprend une paire de plaques de capture qui sont normalement orientées vers l'intérieur l'une vers l'autre, sur les côtés opposés du câble. L'utilisateur est attaché à un palan qui roule le long du câble et entre en collision avec le bec. La force de collision entraîne les plaques latéralement à distance du câble, permettant au palan à rouler en passant dans le bec. Après que le palan ait roulé au-delà du bec, l'orientation normale des plaques ferme le bec, empêchant le palan de rouler en arrière et de repasser dans le bec.

Title: Process for electrolytic coating of a strand casting mould
Inventor: STILLI ADRIAN
IPC: C25D5/18
Filed: 2003-05-19
Granted: 2008-11-18
Abstract: In a process for electrolytic coating of a strand casting mould, the intern al surfaces of the strand casting mould which demarcates a mould cavity are coated with a coating material for the purpose of achieving or re-achieving intended mould cavity dimensions. The strand casting mould, as the cathode, an anode positioned in the mould cavity and an electrolyte containing the coati ng material is used. The electrolyte serving as the carrier of the coating material flows through the cavity of the strand casting mould in a controlled manner. During the electrolytic coating, only the internal surfaces of the mould cavity come into contact with the electrolyte and the external surfaces of the stra nd casting mould therefore do not have to be covered. The mechanical properties can be kept largely uniform over the entire region. The coating can be achieved more rapidly than with conventional processes.

Title: System and method for transmitting and receiving a signal in a mobile communication system using a multiple input multiple output adaptive antenna array scheme
Inventor: CHAE CHAN-BYOUNG
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2004-07-26
Granted: 2010-12-07
Abstract: A method for transmitting/receiving weight information for creating transmission/reception beams in a mobile communication system using a multiple input multiple output adaptive antenna array scheme. The method includes a receiver receiving a predetermined signal, and differentially providing weights to a first scheme and a second scheme for minimizing an error between the received signal and a predetermined reference signal, thereby obtaining a minimum error value. The receiver generates a despread signal by despreading the received signal, produces a reception weight for creation of a reception beam by the receiver through calculation using the despread signal and the minimum error value, and produces a transmission weight for creation of a transmission beam by a counterpart transmitter through calculation using the reception weight and the minimum error value.

Granted: 2010-04-27
Abstract: Un tube élastique (40) est raccordé à la partie terminale de base d'un corps de cathéter (1) ayant un ballonnet (2) au niveau de sa partie terminale supérieure. Lorsque ce tube (40) est placé au niveau d'un dispositif vibrant (RP), le côté de la partie terminale du tube, qui fait saillie vers l'extérieur, joue le rôle de partie volumique de bord (40A). Un rouleau (53) du dispositif vibrant (RP) peut posséder un état d'arrêt dans lequel le tube élastique (40) est comprimé et complètement fermé, et un état de communication dans lequel le tube ne peut pas être comprimé. Lorsque ce rouleau (53) tourne dans un sens prédéterminé avec l'intérieur d'un chemin allant du ballonnet (2) jusqu'au tube élastique (40) qui est rempli d'un liquide pour le chauffage, ce liquide présent dans le tube (40) est comprimé en direction de la partie volumique de bord (40A) dans l'état d'arrêt, tandis que dans l'état de communication, le liquide sous pression dans cette partie volumique de bord (40A) s'écoule de manière à retourner du côté du ballonnet. Le fait de répéter la mise sous pression et le retour d'écoulement fait vibrer le liquide dans le ballonnet (2). Lorsque le ballonnet (2) est de dimension supérieure, la longueur (V) de la partie volumique de marge (40A) est augmentée, de sorte qu'il est possible d'appliquer une vibration appropriée en fonction de la taille du ballonnet.
