Patent CA-2316650-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARBEY JEAN-PHILIPPE
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 2000-08-24
Abstract: The method provides for molding the rear end portion 4 of a tubular body 2 made of plastic material on an end portion 5 of a cable adaptor 6. The tubular body 2 has windows 10 formed in a front end portion 3 thereof. A coil spring 21 and a ferrule holder 13 having wings 19 are inserted through the front end portion 3 of the tubular body 2 and forced therethrough so that the wings 19 expand radially the the front end portion 3 and the end walls 11 of the windows 10. When the wings 19 arrive in the windows 10, the end walls 11 and the front end portion 3 may re-contract radially so that the wings 19 may catch the end walls 11 under the bias of the coil spring 21.

Title: Barrier divided combustion chamber for fuel injected two-stroke engine
Inventor: HOLTERMANN THEODORE J
IPC: F02P13/00
Filed: 1999-02-02
Abstract: An internal combustion engine having a combustion chamber divided into two regions by an arcuate barrier (78) on the top of the piston and a complementary arcuate barrier formed in a cavity of the cylinder head. When the piston is at top dead center, the combustion chamber is effectively divided into two portions with approximately ten percent of the chamber being in the vicinity of a fuel injector (24) and a spark plug (26). By this structure, the engine minimizes the amount of fuel used at idle and at very low power levels, and yet engine performance at higher power levels is not affected.

Title: Cardio-health-meter
Inventor: REID BRIAN
IPC: G01N33/487
Filed: 2001-02-22
Abstract: Cardio-Health-Meter is an apparatus for indicating a predisposition to Hea rt Disease and Stroke. The apparatus contains a power supply, electronic circui ts and a sensor for insertion into a sample of urine. The sensor is a means for measurement of the concentration of electrolytes in millimoles of solute per litre or molarity.  Body and blood volumes are dependant on millimoles of electrolyte per litre. Body fluid is not just water, but is a solution containing a number of chemical substances.  When a substance such as and electrolyte dissolves in body water is becom es separated into its constituent positive and negative particles. These charge s particles are called ions and contribute to the ionization of the solutions. In normal health the concentration of various particles remains constant within very narrow limit s and a balance will exist between the various ions. If for reasons of ill health th e balance is upset, the concentration of these ions changes, the Cardio-Health-Meter read s how abnormal a sample of body water is.  This new electronic device reads numeric values that indicate the number of particles or ratio of charged parts present in the system. This is the critical factor, this enables the user to monitor his of her health level and assure that no potentially dangerous conditions may be present. In the event the device indicates an excessive stress level, the user would be advised to Either take corrective action to lower t he stress level or if the indications were sufficiently severe, to seek professional medical  help. Cardio-  Health-Meter delivers clear safety and peace of mind benefits.

Title: Interrupt architecture for a non-uniform memory access (numa) data processing system
Inventor: ROCKHOLD RONALD LYNN
IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 1999-11-30
Abstract: A non-uniform memory access (NUMA) computer system includes at least two nodes coupled by a node interconnect, where at least one of the nodes includes a processor for servicing interrupts. The nodes are partitioned into external interrupt domains so that an external interrupt is always presented to a processor within the external interrupt domain in which the interrupt occurs.  Although each external interrupt domain typically includes only a single node, interrupt channelling or interrupt funnelling may be implemented to route external interrupts across node boundaries for presentation to a processor.  Once presented to a processor, interrupt handling software may then execute on any processor to service the external interrupt. Servicing external interrupts is expedited by reducing the size of the interrupt handler polling chain as compared to prior art methods. In addition to external interrupts, the interrupt architecture of the present invention supports inter-processor interrupts (IPIs) by which any processor may interrupt itself or one or more other processors in the NUMA computer system.

Title: Twine cutting assembly for bale processor
Inventor: LISCHYNSKI KIMBALL
IPC: A01F29/00
Filed: 2001-06-12
Abstract: Disclosed is a twine cutting assembly for a rotary drum type bale processor. The twine cutting assembly comprises a twine cutter and a locking mechanism. The twine cutter, comprising a handle and a cutting member, extends through a hole in the side wall of the bale processor. The cutting member is moved axially along the surface of the rotary drum in a guide channel. The cutting member has a cutting blade which engages with and cuts any twine wrapped around the rotary drum as the cutting member is moved along the surface of the rotary drum. A locking mechanism including a stop member connected to a handle is positioned within a frame mounted on the exterior of the end wall of the bale processor. The stop is moved between a locked position and an unlocked position by movement of the handle. In the locked position, the stop member extends through a hole in the end wall and engages with the rotary drum thereby preventing rotation of the rotary drum. In this position, the guide channel is positioned relative to the hole in the end wall of the bale processor such that when the cutting member is inserted through the hole, the cutting member is positioned within the guide channel. In the unlocked position, the stop member disengages with the rotary drum thereby permitting the rotation thereof.
