Patent CA-2437706-C (CA)
Title: Mobile computing and communication
Inventor: ESKIN ELEAZAR
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2002-02-01
Granted: 2012-04-10
Abstract: An application development platform (100) enables applications (110) to be created easily for, e.g., mobile devices (112, 113) that have short-range wireless communication capability. The development platform exposes a carefully chosen core set of services through an API (114). Each of the applications can broadcast its services to local and remote devices. Message delivery between devices is guaranteed even for messages than cannot be delivered directly by local short-range wireless transmission. Message delivery through other channels, including the Internet (148), can occur transparently to the user. Each device can be associated with an "owner" (150, 152), which can be a person or an entity. Services can be customized to the owner based on stored information that maps owners to devices. Information associated with each of the owners of devices can be stored centrally and used in connection with providing the services at each of the mobile devices.  Virtual GPS capabilities can be provided for mobile devices that do not have GPS chips.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système tendeur à amortissement asymétrique pour commande de courroie d'un moteur. Une courroie est raccordée entre une poulie de vilebrequin et un certain nombre de poulies d'entraînement. Chaque poulie d'entraînement est raccordée à un accessoire tel qu'un alternateur, une pompe de servodirection, un compresseur ou autre. Le tendeur est placé à n'importe quel endroit avant le premier composant d'inertie efficace, dans le sens de déplacement de la courroie. Un élément de sollicitation du tendeur permet de maintenir une tension dans la courroie. Le tendeur comprend également un mécanisme d'amortissement destiné à amortir les vibrations provoquées par le fonctionnement du moteur. La friction d'amortissement du tendeur est inégale ou asymétrique en fonction du sens de déplacement du bras tendeur. Lors de l'accélération, la friction d'amortissement du tendeur dans le sens de déchargement est considérablement inférieure à celle du sens opposé ou de chargement, comme dans le cas de la décélération. La friction d'amortissement inférieure lors de accélération permet au bras tendeur de faire un ajustement rapide par rapport à l'augmentation de la longueur de la courroie due à l'accélération. La friction d'amortissement supérieure lors de la décélération empêche le bras tendeur de trop s'éloigner du sens de chargement et de provoquer ripage ou bruit. L'amortissement asymétrique diminue également considérablement la vibration générale de la courroie pendant toutes les phases de fonctionnement.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture (121) destiné à un sac thermoplastique (120) comprenant deux bandes d'attache (130) (131) opposées, mâle et femelle, verrouillables qui s'étendent longitudinalement et sont dotées respectivement d'éléments ou profilés de fermeture (134) (136) mâle et femelle. Lesdits éléments se déforment afin de s'emboîter et produire un <= clic >= audible et/ou un effet tactile perceptible au toucher lorsque le dispositif de fermeture (121) est ouvert et fermé. L'emboîtement des deux profilés (134) (136) est obtenu par formage à froid desdits profilés (134) (136) assemblés par liaison de forme. Ce formage à froid donne lieu à la formation d'une partie courbée étagée (126a) (126b) dans les deux profilés (134) (136) de sorte que leurs formes coïncident. Lesdites parties courbées étagées (126a) (126b) produisent une variation de la force d'occlusion et de décollement du dispositif de fermeture par liaison de forme (121), entraînant l'émission d'un <= clic >= ou d'un craquement audible lorsque leditdispositif de fermeture (121) est ouvert ou fermé et la création d'un effet tactile qui est perceptible au toucher lorsque le dispositif de fermeture (121) est fermé.

Title: Apparatus and method for controlling registration of print steps in a continuous process for the manufacture of electrochemical sensors
Inventor: DAVIES OLIVER WILLIAM HARDWICKE

Granted: 2012-03-27
Abstract: In a method according to the present invention, the method includes the printing of a first registration mark at the first print station (e.g. the print station where the carbon electrodes are deposited), the printing of a second registration mark over the first registration mark during printing of the next (e.g. insulation) layer. The second registration mark, being slightly larger than the first registration mark, obliterates the first registration mark and causes registration of the subsequent layers (e.g. enzyme layers) to be triggered slightly earlier. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a two layered mark is used, the second layer being larger than the first so as to "move" the mark to take account of the variation in screen size for the second (e.g. insulation) and subsequent (e.g. enzyme) layers.
