Patent CA-2490487-A1 (CA)
Title: Coupling assembly
Inventor: CLEMENS DOUGLAS J
IPC: F16L37/098
Filed: 2004-12-17
Abstract: A coupling assembly includes a female member having a bore and a male member capable of being received in the bore of the female member. A trigger assembly is disposed between the male and female members and includes an actuator, housing, and biasing member. The male member includes an engagement mechanism to engage the trigger assembly and facilitate axial movement of the actuator. Axial movement of the actuator induces expansion of the biasing member and the engagement of the actuator and the male member.  Accordingly, the male member is urged or propelled into the bore of the female member upon expansion of the biasing member. To disconnect, the male and female members are utilized to return the trigger assembly to an inactivated position.

Title: Laterally expandable modular electric box and method of reducing wiring time and mounting wall disfiguration
Inventor: SIMMONS MICHAEL L
IPC: H02G3/12
Filed: 1994-05-30
Abstract: There is no prior way to retrofit one or more laterally extending electrical boxes for extra switches, outlets or accessories such as rheostatic controls in existing walls without tearing out a portion of the wall, removing the box, rewiring a new ganged box and refinishing the wall. This invention provides nodular lateral box extensions constructed to be installed from the open front end and supported by the installed box anchored to a beam with the wall being cut only enough to receive the extension modular box. This efficiently requires the wiring of only additional modules and avoids repair and repainting of walls.

Title: Cycle counter for cable tie tool
Inventor: MAGNO JOEY D JR
IPC: B23Q17/00
Filed: 2005-02-10
Abstract: The cycle counter is incorporated in a cable tie tool and provides an accurate count of the number of cable ties cut by the tool. The cycle counter includes a sensor which detects the displacement of the blade of the cable tie tool required to sever the strap of the cable tie. Alternatively, the sensor detects the condition of a component of the cable tie tool which indicates that the tool has cut the strap of a cable tie. The sensor generates a cut signal indicating that the strap of a cable tie has been cut. The cycle counter further includes summing devices for processing the cut signals and generating additional signals for transmission to a display device. The display device communicates to an operator the total number of cable ties severed by the cable tie tool. The display device also communicates to the operator the total number of selected cable ties severed by the cable tie tool.

Abstract: There is provided dual use body armor that can be alternately used either as a hand held shield which can be concealed in a standard bag (such as an attach e case) or worn as an armor vest, and which can be quickly converted from one use to the other. For this reason the shield would normally be of an approximately rectangular shape. The exact shape may be varied in order to f it in different types of carry bag, or to better conform (for the purpose of comfort or protection) to the shape of the body when unstowed or deployed an d worn as a vest. When used as a vest, the invention is preferably comprised o f two or more armor panels that unfold or deploy to protect an area of the fro nt and back, and preferably also the side and lower abdomen, of the torso. The front armor panel, back armor panel, side armor panels, and lower abdomen armor panel, are all located on the body by means of a support system. When stowed, the side and lower abdomen armor panels are shaped to fit closely together as in a jigsaw puzzle as the middle layer of a three layer structur e. The armor is designed to be unstowed and put on as a vest with no need for fastening or adjustment.
Patent CA-2505641-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MASTROMONACO RALPH G
IPC: E03F5/10
Filed: 2005-04-28
Abstract: This paper proposes an integrated approach to storm water management and storm water treatment. Today's requirements for capturing and treating the first-flush of storm water can be met with a new device that also controls peak flows over a wide range of storms and uses a net storage volume that is substantially lower than the storage computed by traditional reservoir routing methods. The extention basin debuts here as the most efficient method of reducing peak storm water flows--being far more effective than the retention or detention basins in common use today.
