Patent CA-2275005-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAVOIE RAYMOND G
IPC: H01R43/26
Filed: 1999-06-15
Abstract: A removal tool is operable for separating components of an assembled electrical corrector used for connecting electrical conductors together. The electrical connector includes a tapered connector sleeve having a general "C" cross section with a slot defining a stop ledge and a wedge having a latching ledge which engages the stop ledge when inserted into the slot preventing removal of the wedge. The removal tool with a first block member includes outwardly projecting ears for selective insertion into the slot for engagement with the stop ledge. A second block member includes outwardly projecting slide pins. The first block member is slidably received ott the slide pins for movement toward and away from the second block member, a removal blade on the second block member leaving a tapered dose member projecting toward tile first block member and an integral shoulder on the second block member facing the first block member and spaced from the removal blade in a direction away from the first block member. When the assembled electrical connector is positioned on the removal tool with the ears projecting into the slot of the connector sleeve and the tapered nose member is inserted between the wedge and the connector sleeve, movement of the first block member toward the second block member causes the latching ledge of the wedge to disengage from the stop ledge. With continued movement of the first block member toward the second block member the shoulder engages the wedge and forces its removal front the connector sleeve.

Inventor: GILBERT SYLVAIN
IPC: B27L11/00
Filed: 1999-07-14
Abstract: A cutter head for a combined wood edger and chipper. The cutter head has coaxially mounted inner and outer shafts, rotatable at different speeds. A saw is mounted at the end of the inner shaft, and chipper blades are mounted around the outer shaft. It is therefore possible to simultaneously turn the uneven portion on the side of a log or cant into wood chips, and leave a finished surface behind. The blades and saw can both be operated at their optimum speed since both shafts are rotatable at different speeds. An apparatus having any number of such cutter heads mounted horizontally and vertically is also provided.

Title: Interrupt control system
Inventor: SAWADA AKIRA
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 1999-09-30
Abstract: An information processing device includes an OS having an interrupt processing function and an OS support system which is activated through initialization of the OS. The OS support system includes an interrupt managing section for recording the contents of an interrupt process requiring a high realtime performance, and an interrupt judging section for receiving an interrupt request earlier than the OS does when the interrupt request occurs in the information processing device, and judging whether the interrupt request corresponds to the interrupt process recorded in the interrupt managing section. The OS support system further includes an interrupt executing section for executing the recorded interrupt process when the interrupt request corresponds to the recorded interrupt process. The OS support system causes the OS to execute an interrupt process which is not recorded in the interrupt managing section.

Inventor: FRY JOHN A
IPC: B32B38/04
Filed: 1999-10-07
Abstract: A fibrous insulation blanket is pre-cut for custom fitting the insulation blanket into structural framework building cavities of different widths. The width of the blanket is substantially equal to the width of a standard cavity to be insulated by the blanket and the blanket has one or more longitudinally extending cuts in a first major surface of the blanket. The cut(s) have a depth greater than one half of the thickness of the blanket and less than the thickness of the blanket whereby the blanket can be handled as a unit for insulating a cavity having a standard cavity width or easily torn apart at a cut by hand for insulating a cavity having less than a standard cavity width. The second major surface of the blanket may have a facing bonded thereto with one or more perforated lines in the facing aligned with the cut(s) to facilitate tearing apart the blanket by hand if required. Preferably, the perforations of the perforated line(s) are closed by the bonding agent bonding the facing to the blanket so that the facing functions as a vapor barrier in spite of the perforations.

Title: Constrained shortest path routing method
Inventor: KODIALAM MURALIDHARAN SAMPATH
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1999-11-16
Abstract: A real-time method for routing subject to an acceptable delay constraint between nodes in high-speed data networks, such as PNNI protocol networks, uses an illustrative two-phase algorithm employing Dijkstra's algorithm at each phase. In an illustrative first phase, the Dijkstra SPF algorithm is used in seeking the shortest cumulative delay from the destination to the source, thereby generating cumulative delay labels from a node j to the destination node k. The delay results are then employed in the second phase, where the Dijkstra SPF algorithm is illustratively employed for determining administrative weight (AW) as the link metric subject to modification in accordance with results obtained in the first phase.

Inventor: REINGEWIRTZ MEIR
IPC: C12Q1/00
Filed: 1998-06-11
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé permettant d'étalonner un capteur d'analyte  in vivo. Ce procédé consiste à fournir au sujet, et à proximité du capteur, une certaine quantité d'un analyte qui se présente de préférence sous forme d'un revêtement soluble recouvrant le capteur, ceci de manière à saturer ce dernier et à obtenir un signal maximal (46a). On fait se consumer l'analyte situé à proximité du capteur de manière à obtenir un signal de ligne de base (46b). On calcule ensuite une fonction d'étalonnage de manière à transposer la saturation mesurée et les signaux de ligne de base (46a, 46b) en des points correspondants (45a, 45b) sur une courbe de référence (45) étalonnée en laboratoire. Cette fonction d'étalonnage est ensuite utilisée afin de transposer tout point (46c) qui a été mesuré sur la courbe de performance réelle in vivo (46) du capteur, en un point correspondant (45c) sur la courbe de référence (45) étalonnée en laboratoire. Ce système permet ainsi d'obtenir un capteur in vivo dont la sortie est étalonnée en fonction des conditions régnant lors de l'utilisation.

Abstract: Pruning wound cover protects pruning wounds from infection by air-borne fungal pathogens. It covers the surface of the pruning wounds thus providing a physical barrier between the pruning wound and the pathogen. Pruning wound cover stops the entrance of spores in to grapevines and other woody plants through pruning wounds. Pruning wound cover is made from a sturdy plastic or vinyl. It comes in different sizes and designs depending on the size and origin of the wound. Bag-type cover is designed to protect pruning wounds on spurs. Strip-type cover is designed to protect wounds that are close to the trunk. Both bag-type and strip-type covers are provided with a touch button to close the cover and protect it from being blown away by the wind or washed off by rain. This cover should be immediately placed on pruning wounds after pruning.
