Patent CA-2237375-C (CA)
Title: Water filter with pressure actuated flow monitor
Inventor: ZABINSKI JOHN
IPC: C02F1/00
Filed: 1998-05-11
Granted: 2001-03-20
Abstract: A faucet mounted water filtration system with a filter life monitor includes a filter housing with a flexible cap which deflects upon introduction of water into the housing. The deflection of the cap closes a switch on an electrical circuit which counts the time the water is flowing through the housing. Once a predetermined amount of time accumulates, the circuit generates a message to inform the user that the filter needs replacement. The invention further includes a selector switch on the electrical circuit for signaling the circuit to count one of two predetermined amounts of time prior to generating a message.

Title: Control system for coverings for architectural openings
Inventor: COLSON WENDELL B
IPC: E06B9/262
Filed: 1998-10-27
Granted: 2007-01-23
Abstract: A control system for a vertically moveable covering for an architectural opening includes a uni-directional drive assembly that is operated with a single pull element such that upon pulling of the pull element, the covering can be raised in increments. A clutch/brake assembly selectively prevents the covering from dropping by gravity between pulling strokes on the pulling element, but a release of the brake allows the shade to drop by gravity from its retracted position to any degree of extension. A governor is further provided to regulate the rate at which the covering drops by gravity. A cord lift system which is operated by the main drive assembly and the clutch/brake assembly includes a rotatable and axially slidable spool about which a lift cord can be wound. The lift cord has one end anchored to the spool and its opposite end extended through a supporting bracket for the spool and downwardly through the covering where the opposite end is anchored to a bottom rail such that a wrapping of the lift cord about the spool lifts the bottom rail thereby causing the covering to be raised adjacent to the lift spool. The lift cord is tangentially fed to the lift spool and forced into an angular wrap on the spool while an outer shell spaced a small distance from the spool prevents multiple wraps so that the lift cord does not become tangled. A return spring biases the spool in one direction to facilitate a controlled movement of the covering from a retracted to an extended position.

Abstract: An actuator assembly for a multi-blade damper includes a base plate having slots extending longitudinally thereof and slidably receiving drive portions of the louver shafts. A series of drive slots extending generally perpendicular to the clearance slots is formed at each side of the clearance slots. A series of link assemblies are keyed to the shafts, the link assemblies including actuator pins extending into selected ones of the drive slots.

Patent CA-2291935-C (CA)
Inventor: LAFONT DON
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 1999-12-08
Granted: 2008-10-07
Abstract: A battery charger system providing increased reliability over conventional chargers includes one or more charging modules coupled to a central controller module. Each charging module is capable of charging one or two batteries and includes control logic that controls the charging current provided to each battery. Each charging module is capable of charging the associated batteries using a pre-programmed, selectable charging protocol. The control logic included in each of the charging module provides a "first level of intelligence" for charging batteries. The controller module provides a "second level of intelligence" that generally operates in conjunction with the first level of intelligence provided by the charging modules. The second level of intelligence provided by the controller module individually enables and disables charging to a particular battery by an associated charging module. The charging modules are capable of charging batteries even without control from the second level of intelligence. Thus, reliability is increased by being able to continue battery charging even if the controller module fails or is removed from the battery charging system. Other features such as the lack of battery voltage sense lines removes the possibility of failure due to faulty or damaged sense lines, thereby increasing reliability.
