Patent CA-2467537-A1 (CA)
Title: Atv with improved driver positioning and single or multiple passenger capacity
Inventor: RONDEAU PIERRE
IPC: B62J25/00
Filed: 2002-11-13
Abstract: An all-terrain vehicle (ATV) includes a frame and a pair of front and rear wheels suspended from the frame. A straddle-type seat (139) has a main portion (140) and a secondary portion (145) to accommodate a driver and a passenger.  The wheelbase (L) of the ATV is increased in length (compared to conventional ATVs) so as to increase stability and comfort for the driver, and/or to accommodate a passenger behind the driver. The passenger and secondary seat portion (145) are disposed in front of the rear wheel axis and moved closer to the center of the wheelbase. Moreover, the combined center or gravity of the ATV, rider, and passenger is moved closer to the center of the wheelbase to improve stability, comfort and/or safety. The driver and passenger each have sufficient space to actively position themselves without significantly interfering with each other. Tandem footrests (270) are implemented as well as grab handles (340) for the passenger.

Patent CA-2477310-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MANKU TAJINDER
IPC: H03D7/16
Filed: 2003-02-25
Abstract: There is a need for an inexpensive, high-performance, fully-integrable, multi~standard transceiver, which suppresses spurious noise signals. The invention provides a topology that satisfies this need, providing a first mixer for receiving an input signal x(t), and mixing it with a multi-tonal mixing signal .phi.1 to generate an output signal .phi.1 x(t), and providing a second mixer for receiving the .phi.1 x(t) signal, and mixing it with a mono-tonal mixing signal .phi.2, to generate an output signal .phi.1 .phi.2 x(t).  The two mixing signals emulate an LO signal because .phi.1 * .phi.2 has significant power at the frequency of the LO signal being emulated. The topology also includes a power measurement circuit for measuring the power of the output signal .phi.1 .phi.2 x(t). This power output signal is used to vary the characteristics of the mono-tonal mixing signal .phi.2 to reduce the power level of said output signal.

Title: Casting steel strip
Inventor: BLEJDE WALTER N
IPC: B22D11/106
Filed: 2003-04-11
Abstract: Roll caster (11) produces thin steel strip (12) formed on casting surfaces (22A) of casting roll (22) that passes through first enclosure (37) adjacent casting roll surfaces (22A) and, optionally, thereafter second enclosure (61).  Enclosure (37) and/or enclosure (61) may be fitted with spray nozzles (71,72) and/or (67, 68) operable to spray fine water mist adjacent strip (12) to produce hydrogen gas in enclosure (37) while tending to avoid liquid water contact with steel strip (12) and casting surfaces (22A). If hydrogen gas is produced only in enclosure (61), the two enclosures (37, 61) are interconnected so that gas can flow from enclosure (61) to enclosure (37).  Enclosure (37) and, if present, enclosure (61) are sealed to maintain positive pressure and oxygen levels less than the surrounding atmosphere, and with the presence of hydrogen gas, reduce formation of scale on the strip in enclosure (37) and, if present, enclosure (61).

Patent CA-2492872-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YOSHIDA HIROYUKI
IPC: F01M11/00
Filed: 2000-09-22
Abstract: An oil pan-coupled surface 115 formed on a lower surface of an engine block 11 having a crankshaft 15 supported to be directed vertically is extended below a cylinder head 12 beyond a line L extending downwards from a cylinder head-coupled surface 11 4 formed on a rear surface of the engine block 11. Thus , it is possible to increase the area of the oil pan-coupled surface 11 5 without interference with the cylinder head-coupled surface 11 4, and to increase the volume of an oil pan 41 1 coupled to the oil pan-coupled surface 11 5. Moreover, the cylinder head-coupled surface 11 4 and the oil pan-coupled surface 11 5 are not continuous with each other and hence, there is no possibility that the sealing of the coupled surfaces 11 4 and 11 5 may be impeded.

Abstract: A clamp for locking engagement with a shaft includes a body having a bore for slideably receiving a shaft, with opposing grippers recessed into the body coaxial with the shaft. The grippers each include inner and outer sleeves displaceable relative to each other, with the outer sleeves being retained by shoulders within the body and the inner sleeves being slideable within a pocket for selectively releasing and gripping the shaft. A pair of opposing plungers selectively displaces the inner sleeves, the plungers each being associated with a slideable arm for coordinated gripping and release of the shaft. The arms are drawn together or apart by an actuator such as a solenoid. The clamp is intended to be fastened to a component, for permitting the component to selectively grip a shaft, or release the shaft for slideable and/or rotateable movement relative to the shaft, such as an optical instrument for testing of patient's eyes which when fastened must tightly grip a shaft to prevent rotation and slideable movement, but which when released must permit free movement relative to the shaft.
