Patent CA-2366019-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DECLER CHARLES PETER
IPC: F16L37/084
Filed: 2000-03-09
Abstract: A quick connect/disconnect coupling (20) having a female coupling member (24 ), a male coupling member (22), and a clip member (26) slidably mounted on the female coupling member (24) for retaining the female (24) and male (22) coupling members together in a coupled state. The clip member (26) is design ed to prevent inadvertent actuation thereof, thereby preventing accidental disconnection of the female (24) and male (26) coupling members once they ar e in the coupled state. The clip member (26) must be actuated from a lock position to an unlock position before the clip member (26) can be actuated from its connect position to its disconnect position. Thus two separate movements of the clip member (26) are required before the coupling (20) can be disconnected and/or connected.

Patent CA-2377787-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FERRANTE MARIO
IPC: G09B5/04
Filed: 2002-03-14
Abstract: The recording of books, novels, best-sellers, short stories, documentaries and biographies using narrator and character voices including background sound effects that can be used as an alternative to reading the literature. The alternative to listen, rather than read stories and other literature would be ideal to people who commute or travel often by car or just simply enjoy the change of listening to a good book instead of reading it.   This would be ideal to those who are visually impaired as well but the focal point here is to listen rather than read literature. These recordings can be found in the same locations as their paper counterpart.

Abstract: Repairs of cartilage defects or of cartilage/bone defects in human or animal joints with the help of devices comprising a bone part (1), a cartilage layer (2) and a subchondral bone plate (4) or an imitation of such a plate in the transition region between the cartilage layer (2) and the bone part (1) show that after implantation the bone part (4) is resorbed and is replaced by reparative tissue only after being essentially totally resorbed. In a critical phase of the healing process, a mechanically inferior cyst is located in the place of the implanted bone part (1). In order to prevent the cartilage layer (2) from sinking into the cyst space during this critical phase of the healing process it is suggested to design the device (10) in a manner such that its cartilage layer (2) after implantation is supported on regions with resorbabilities differing from one another. This is for example realized by a device which has a top part (11) and a bottom part (12), wherein the top part (11) consists essentially of the cartilage layer (2) and the subchondral bone plate (4) and the bottom part (12) corresponds essentially to the bone part (1) and wherein the top part (11) parallel to the subchondral bone plate (4) has a larger diameter than the bottom part (12).  After implantation in a suitable opening or bore (20), the cartilage layer (2) and the subchondral bone plate (4) are supported not only on the bone part (1) but also on native bone tissue having a loading capacity not changing during the healing process. Therefore, the implanted cartilage layer cannot sink during the healing process.

Abstract: A coupler assembly for axially coupling a hub onto a shaft includes a latch assembly that prevents a locking collar from latching to the hub in a released or disengaged position when the shaft is in the hub. The collar latch assembly includes a latch ring biased eccentrically about the hub and release members when in a released position so as to engage a surface of the hub. When the shaft is inserted into the hub, the release members move to a radially outward position and center the latch ring on the hub. This allows the collar to slide by spring force to a locked position in which the locking members are moved radially inward to engage recesses in the shaft. The release members remain in the radially outward position as long as the shaft is in the hub, thereby preventing the locking ring from engaging the hub and locking the collar in the released position while the shaft is engaged with the hub.
