Title: Custom-fitted ankle splint product
Inventor: DARCEY THOMAS D
IPC: A61F5/058
Filed: 1999-04-02
Abstract: An ankle splint product includes an ankle splint for being custom-formed to the shape of an ankle while flexible, and upon hardening providing a rigid, supporting custom fit. The ankle splint product includes an outer container formed of moisture-impervious material, moisturefree conditions and sealed therein against entry of moisture until use. Each of the first and second ankle splint (111, 112) segments includes an elongate substrate, and a reactive system impregnated into or coated onto the substrate. The system remains stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions and hardens upon exposure to moisture to form a rigid, self supporting structure. First and second attachment means secured to ends of the splint segments, releasably attach the splint segments together into an ankle splint, and for form a heel stirrup for stabilising the splint segments on the ankle;  and an elasticized strap extends around the splint segments and is fastened to itself in tensioned condition for holding the splint segments in conforming position on the lower leg and ankle and providing controlled compressive support to the lower leg and ankle.

Patent CA-2442503-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TIEDEMANN EDWARD G III
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2002-03-28
Abstract: To enable point-to-multipoint communication services in an existing cellular communication system infrastructure, each member subscriber station (102), i.e., a subscriber station participating in such a service, is receiving a forward link shared channel (106), and in certain embodiments additionally a forward link dedicated channel. Because transmission on the forward link channels from neighboring sectors presents interference to the transmission from the sector serving the subscriber station, it is desirable to control the forward link channel transmission power to the minimum acceptable power.  Additionally, a transmission from each member subscriber station on a reverse link channel (108) presents interference to other subscriber stations.  Therefore, it is desirable to control the reverse link channel transmission to the minimum signal level. Consequently, a method and apparatus for a power control that enables point-to-multipoint services in an existing infrastructure of a wireless cellular telephone system is disclosed.

Title: Strainer for a water hose
Inventor: REBER LARRY F
IPC: B01D35/02
Filed: 2004-01-22
Abstract: An apparatus, a system and a method for obtaining sieved water, for fighting fires, from a source of water having foreign objects are disclosed. A strainer is connected to a tank via a hose such that water may be pumped from the strainer to the tank. The strainer includes a water inlet having a sieve-like material over it and a water outlet connector where the hose connects. The strainer is submerged in a source of water such as a pond or stream. As water enters the strainer via the water inlet, the sieve-like material prevents foreign objects such as rocks and leaves from entering the strainer. Therefore, the foreign objects never reach the tank. A pan may be connected to the bottom of the strainer to elevate the strainer above the bottom of the source of water. Such elevating helps achieve desired flow rates without stirring or roiling foreign objects such as sand or gravel that may be at the bottom of the source of water.
