Patent CA-2420564-A1 (CA)
Title: Hearing aid storage case with hearing aid activity detection
Inventor: BURGUM BARBARA K
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 2003-02-28
Abstract: A storage case that detects and indicates presence of oscillating or quiescent activity of hearing aids is disclosed. Within the storage case, there is a transducer coupled to a logic circuit. The logic circuit is further coupled to one or more visual cues. The transducer picks up any sounds within the storage case and converts the sounds into electrical signals. The logic circuit receives the electrical signals and activates a visual cue that alerts the user if the logic circuit interprets at least one of the electrical signals to be from an oscillating or quiescent activity of the hearing aid.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'étanchéifier ou de passiver les bords de puces, telles que des lasers à cavité verticale et à émission par la surface (VCSEL). Un procédé consiste à oxyder les bords de dé au niveau de la tranche avant la découpe de cette dernière en plusieurs dés. Cette opération peut s'effectuer par gravure d'un canal le long des rangées entre les dés, avant d'oxyder les parois du canal. L'oxydation concerne de préférence les couches support en aluminium qui sont exposées par les parois du canal vers l'intérieur pour marquer une distance. Des couches support en aluminium, dont des couches AlA et AlGaA, peuvent être oxydées à un niveau d'oxyde natif stable résistant à une oxydation ultérieure provoquée par l'environnement. Après oxydation, la tranche peut être découpée le long des canaux en plusieurs dés, chacun présentant une couche protectrice d'oxyde sur les surfaces latérales.

Title: Method for conditioning semiconductor-on-insulator transistors in programmable logic devices
Inventor: LESEA AUSTIN H
IPC: H03K19/177
Filed: 2001-12-20
Abstract: Method preconditioning and in-use conditioning of transistors formed on a semiconductor-on-insulator structue is described. More particularly, transistors of a programmable logic device (PLD), such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA), are preconditioned to take advantage of charge accumulation owing to a "floating body" effect. This preconditioning takes a form of switching transistors on and off prior to customer operation. Accordingly, semiconductor-on-insulator transistors accumulate charge during this switching period, so when customer operation takes place, transistor switching times are less variable over a period of operation of the PLD. Additionally, a design process and implementation is described for identification and in-use conditioning of transistors that may need conditioning during customer operation to control switching time variability.

Title: Oxygen concentrator system
Inventor: CAO TUAN Q
IPC: B01D53/04
Filed: 2003-08-27
Abstract: An oxygen concentrator system includes at least one oxygen concentrator sub-system and a plenum subsystem. The at least one oxygen concentrator sub-system produces oxygen-enriched air which is outputted to both the oxygen concentrator system output and to a plenum chamber within the plenum subsystem. The plenum chamber is trickle charged with the oxygen-enriched air when the at least one oxygen concentrator sub-system produces an excess amount of oxygen-enriched air. Should the demand for oxygen-enriched air exceed the capability of the at least one oxygen concentrator sub-system, additional oxygen-enriched air is provided by the plenum chamber until such time that the capability of the at least one oxygen concentrator sub-system exceeds the demand for oxygen-enriched air. At that time, oxygen-enriched air is no longer provided by the plenum chamber but rather the plenum chamber is again trickle charged.

Patent CA-2446139-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MAYER YARON
IPC: A01G13/00
Filed: 2003-10-20
Abstract: The destruction of the rainforests in the last decades has become the biggest crime against humanity and against nature and against other entire species of animals, and also the biggest irreversible folly of the late 20th century and beginning of the 21st. Various statistics show that at the current rate of destruction, unless drastic changes are made right now, by the year 2020 or even considerably earlier, 90-100% of all the rainforests will be irrevocably destroyed, causing damages that will take MILLIONS OF YEARS to repair, if at all. More plant and animal species will go through extinction within our generation than have been lost through natural causes over the past two hundred million years. This massive deforestation and extinction, which is continuing to increase at an accelerated rate, brings with it many ugly consequences, including but not limited to: Air and water pollution, soil erosion, malaria epidemics, the release of more CO2 into the atmosphere, decrease of Oxygen for us to breathe, more increase in the global warming, and of course the irrevocable loss of huge biodiversity and with them for example the loss of many potentially highly important plants and medicines.  The present invention tries to solve this horrible situation by creating an organization and method for motivating as many people as possible to take immediate action -by creating a strong financial incentive that makes helping preserve the rain forests much more profitable than destroying them. Preferably the idea of sustainable harvesting is combined with the idea of selling real acres to people, so that instead of buying something only on paper, preferably a:n organization or multiple organizations are created, which make sure that the acres that were bought for example from the governments of the relevant countries, are indeed under supervision and protection and that preferably as many of them as possible are preferably also used for sustainable harvesting. The acres themselves can be for example actual specific acres as defined for example by exact coordinates on a map, or for example virtual or "floating" acres, that: are not bound to a single location but are more like shares in the organization that sells and takes care of these acres. This is preferably combined with a recursive multi-level marketing plan with various sophisticated improvements over the prior art.

Patent CA-2453349-A1 (CA)
Title: Fire and water-resistant container
Inventor: MASSETH JAMES
IPC: A45C13/00
Filed: 2002-07-11
Abstract: A fire-resistant container having a full gasket at the interface between hinged top and bottom mating elements. The elements are insulated and are formed with matable labyrinthine edges. One of the edges is provided with a smooth, soft gasket disposed in a groove in the labyrinth which forms a seal against a corresponding rib in the opposing edge.  The elements are joined along common sides by a hinge, the rotational axis of which is positioned in space relative to the gasket and rib such that, in closing of the container, the gasket engages the rib at all points substantially simultaneously. The hinged elements are secured by over-center latching means such that when the container is fully closed the rib exerts a small and substantially uniform force against the gasket to form a seal against fire and water. Upon being exposed to fire, the hinges and/or the latch may be destroyed without causing the seal between to be broken, thus maintaining the fire- and water-resistance of the container, the weight of the top element further compressing the gasket onto the rib and thereby enhancing the seal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus in connection with the manufacture of a paper web or the like (W), or in a reeling up process of said web (W) taking place in connection with an on-line or off-line finishing treatment of the same, in which a continuous web (W) is reeled up on a centre-drive assisted reeling core (C2, C3) to form a machine reel (R), during which reeling process the reeling core (C2, C3) moves when the centre drive (PD, SD) is coupled to the end of said reeling core (C2, C3). According to the invention, the rotating movement and torque necessary in the centre drive (PD, SD) are transmitted from a stationary drive motor (PM, SM) to the end of the reeling core (C2, C3) by power transmission (T) equipped with one or more joints, wherein the need to move the drive motor (PM, SM) along with the movement of the reeling core (C2, C3) is avoided. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the power transmission (T) is implemented by means of a belt drive, wherein by selecting the belt transmission in a suitable manner, it is also possible to avoid the need to use a separate gear system.
