Patent CA-2106515-A1 (CA)
Title: Out-of-plane ultrasonic velocity measurement
Inventor: HALL MACLIN S
IPC: G01N29/50
Filed: 1993-09-20
Abstract: OUT-OF-PLANE ULTRASONIC VELOCITY MEASUREMENT          Abstract of the Disclosure A method for improving the accuracy of measuring the velocity and time of flight of ultrasonic signals through moving web-like materials such as paper, paperboard and the like,  includes a pair of ultrasonic transducers disposed on opposing sides of a moving web-like material. In order to provide acoustical coupling between the trans-ducers and the web-like material, the transducers are dis-posed in fluid-filled wheels.  Errors due to variances in the wheel thicknesses about their circumference which can affect time of  flight measurements and ultimately the mechanical  property  being  tested  are  compensated  by averaging the ultrasonic signals for a predetermined number of revolutions.  The invention further includes a method for compensating for errors resulting from the digitization of the ultrasonic signals.  More particularly, the inven-tion includes a method for eliminating errors known as trigger jitter inherent with digitizing oscilloscopes used to digitize the signals for manipulation by a digital computer.    In particular,  rather than  cross-correlate ultrasonic signals taken during different sample periods as is known in the art in order to determine the time of flight of the ultrasonic signal through the moving web, a pulse echo box is provided to enable cross-correlation of predetermined transmitted ultrasonic signals with predeter-mined reflected ultrasonic or echo signals during the sample period.  By cross-correlating ultrasonic signals in the same sample period, the error associated with trigger jitter is eliminated.
Patent CA-2107720-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DICK JOHN K
IPC: A62C2/24
Filed: 1993-10-05
Abstract: A trigger  arrangement  for  a  fire  protection  system of  the kind  in  which  a  fire  extinguisher  is  triggered  by  the  relaxa-tion  of tension  in  a  wire  that  is  trained through  a  region  to be  protected  and  kept  under  tension.   A  fusible  link  forces  a portion of the wire  to  lie  along a  curved path.   When the  fuse part  of  the  link  melts,  the  link  releases  the wire,  allowing  it to  straighten  out,  thus  increasing  its  overall  length,  relaxing the  tension  and  triggering  the  extinguisher. The  link  of  the invention  is  simply  an  integral,  laminated  body  in  which  the laminations,   held  together   by  an  adhesive,  fusible  material, are formed with wire  guide means  for  restraining the wire  in  a looped  configuration  so  long  as  the  laminations  are  held  to-gether.

Patent CA-2108997-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAVI JAGANNATHAN
IPC: H01J61/54
Filed: 1993-10-22
Abstract: A high pressure discharge lamp includes a resistive fuse (30) for overcurrent protection of its associated ballast, which fuse is connected electrically in series with the discharge vessel (1) of the lamp and continuously dissipates power during lamp operation. The resistive fuse is heated by passage of the operating current through the discharge vessel (1) during lamp operation to a temperature substantially controlled by the operating current. In response to an increase in the operating current to a predetermined overcurrent, the resistive fuse reaches a temperature such that it breaks and disconnects the discharge vessel from its source of electric potential within a predetermined time period. The fuse passes short-term high starting currents anil does not disconnect the discharge vessel during each lamp start-up at least until the operating current reaches the predetermined over-current during lamp life.

Patent CA-2125874-A1 (CA)
Title: Mass spectrometry method using filtered noise signal
Inventor: KELLEY PAUL E
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 1992-11-10
Abstract: A mass spectrometry method in which a trapping field signal (such as a three-dimensional quadrupole trapping field sig-nal or other multipole trapping field signal) set to store ions of interest is superimposed with a notch-filtered broadband ("filtered noise") signal, and ions are formed or injected in the resulting combined field. The filtered noise signal resonates all ions (except selected ones of the ions) from the combined field, so that only selected ones of the ions remain trapped in the combined field. The combined filtered noise and trapping field signal (the "combined signal") is then changed to excite the trapped ions sequen-tially, so that the excited ions can be detected sequentially. The invention can be applied to perform an (MS) n or CI, or combined CI/(MS) n, mass spectrometry operation.

Patent CA-2127175-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BASLEY MICHAEL B
IPC: A01G13/10
Filed: 1994-06-30
Abstract: A tree trunk surround including the use of re-usable tire casings, particularly the tire walls which are severed into truncated wedges with the narrower or rim edge affixed to a flexible or resilient band which stretches to allow unhindered growth of the tree and which has latching means at opposite ends whereby the band may be fixedly located as a loop around the trunk of the tree.  Preferably, there is a light impervious sheath, commonly known as landscaping fabric, underlaying the inside surface of the band and spatially disposed truncated wedges so that light will not penetrate the surround when engaged about the tree.  This inhibits growth of weeds and the like.  The outside tire casings provide a barrier so that when trimming takes place about the tree, as by string weedcutters and lawnmowers, the bark of the tree is not bruised by these machines.

Inventor: BEEBE JAMES C
IPC: G06F17/40
Filed: 1994-09-15
Abstract: APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ON-VEHICLE MEASUREMENT OF WHEEL ROTATION TIME, RELATIVE VELOCITY AND RELATIVE PHASE       Abstract Time of occurrence of an event, such as completion of rotation of a body, is determined by generating in response to the sensed occurrence of the event, a signal having a parameter whose value varies according to a predetermined function of time from an initial value at an initial time correlated to the time of occurrence of the event.  At a subsequent time later than the initial time, a subsequent value of the parameter is determined and the time of occurrence of the event is determined by subtracting from the subsequent time, an amount of time calculating substantially according to the function as elapsing between the initial value and the subsequent value.  By determining the times of completions of their respective rotations in this manner, the relative rotational phase and/or relative rotational velocities of rotating bodies, such as tire/wheel assembles of a moving vehicle, can be determined.

Patent CA-2139971-A1 (CA)
Title: Ink jet nozzle
Inventor: WEST DAVID B
IPC: B41J2/21
Filed: 1995-01-11
Abstract: A nozzle for an ink-jet printer is provided. The nozzle is manufactured from a heat-softenable tube and has a gradually converging inner diameter leading to an orifice less than 30 microns in diameter and an outer nozzle diameter proximate the orifice at least as great as the outer diameter at other points along the tube. The nozzle is produced by heating a short seg-ment of a heat-softenable tube while rotating it, until said segment is sufficiently softened to cause the inner diameter to converge at an angle between 5 and 25 degrees with respect to the axis of symmetry of the tube, and until the inner diameter is equal to or less than a selected orifice diameter. The gradual taper is achieved solely as a result of heat-activated surface forces inherent in the tube material and without external drawing or pulling of the tube. Further the gradual taper facilitates achieving a desired orifice dimension during removal of a portion of the tube having an inner diameter less than the selected orifice diameter. The extremely small orifice size enables an ink-jet printer to deposit droplets of ink sufficiently small to make photographic-quality gray scale and color images. Such a nozzle can also advantageously be used for biological, medical and pharmaceutical apparatuses and devices.
