Patent CA-2296790-A1 (CA)
Title: Head bathing arrangement
Inventor: SKIBA BARBARA T
IPC: A45D19/00
Filed: 2000-01-21
Abstract: A head bathing system for haircare. The system is composed of an outer cap having a head-receiving aperture, an inner, absorbent liquid-holding layer, and a flexible gathering for the cap at the aperture. The liquid-holding layer is impregnated with a cleansing solution. To clean a person's hair, the system is applied to the person's head, which is massaged through the cap to cause the cleansing solution to wet the person's hair. After sufficient cleaning, the system is removed from the person's head. Because of the nature of the liquid-holding layer, it reabsorbs much of the cleansing solution before the system is removed from the person's head.

Patent CA-2298250-A1 (CA)
Title: Remotely adjustable mesh deployable reflectors
Inventor: GILGER L DWIGHT
IPC: H01Q15/20
Filed: 2000-02-08
Abstract: The reflective mesh material that forms the reflector in a foldable perimeter truss antenna is remotely adjusted to shape using remotely controlled stepper motors carried on the truss. Connected to the end of the catenaries, which shape and support the pliant reflective mesh material on the truss, the stepper motors adjust the tension on the catenaries and thereby change its shape. An RF receiver and electronic controller associated with each stepper motor receives the tension command information from a remote source and controls the stepper motor in accordance with that information.

Patent CA-2319133-A1 (CA)
Title: Stent delivery system and method of use
Inventor: FRANTZEN JOHN J
IPC: A61F2/95
Filed: 1999-01-20
Abstract: A stent delivery system, and methods of use, are provided in which a stent is constrained in a contracted delivery state with binding straps that are electrolytically erodible to deploy the stent. The binding straps are attached to a power source and each have a small electrically uninsulated reduced thickness portion. A second electrode wire is disposed adjacent to the uninsulated areas or separately electrically coupled to an exterior surface of the patient's body. When an electric current is applied, the uninsulated areas of the binding straps are electrolytically eroded and rupture, thereby allowing the stent to at least partially deploy.
Patent CA-2320709-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for controlling data flow associated with a communications node
Inventor: FALCO STEVEN A
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-09-26
Abstract: A communications node admits the receive data message to the buffer memory if the receive arriving message falls within the capacity range of a class of the receive data messages and if the buffer memory is not congested. A state detector detects if the buffer memory is congested by evaluating the occupancy rate of the buffer memory, or otherwise. The capacity range determines the utilization of buffer memory by a particular class of data messages, which may be defined in accordance with an estimated economic value rating of the data messages.

Réciproquement la source de remplacement, qui est couplée directement avec les batteries de l'ASI, délivre le courant continu nécessaire au maintien de la charge de ces batteries.
Patent CA-2321742-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARBER THEODORE W BARBER
IPC: A43C11/22
Filed: 1998-11-13
Abstract: A dual action buckle (20) which employs a cable tightening action and a strap tensioning action to tighten two separate portions of a boot, notably a snowboard boot (10). Thus, the boot (10) may be tightened around the foot and/or particular functionalities of the boot (10) may be engaged to a preset condition with one simple buckle closing action. During rest periods when the applied tightening and/or functionalities are not needed, they may be deactivated with one simple buckle opening action, giving relief to the foot, greater ease of walking, etc. The invention includes a primary lever (26), a secondary lever (32) pivotally connected to the primary lever (26) and a pulley (42). The pulley (42) acts to double the cable retraction action of the secondary lever (32). This allows the dual action buckle (20) to be made much smaller than would otherwise be the case.

Patent CA-2324727-A1 (CA)
Title: Transmission power control method and system
Inventor: FURUKAWA HIROSHI
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2000-10-30
Abstract: A transmission power control technique allowing stable and reliable signal transmission in soft handover is disclosed. Each of the base stations involved in soft handover measures an amount of loss of the base station selection signal. When the amount of loss of the base station selection signal exceeds a threshold, the transmission power of the downlink signal is not set to the minimum level but to the normally controlled level. Further, a transmission power update timing of each base station is determined so that the downlink signal received at the mobile station changes in transmission power at a predetermined timing synchronized with that of other base stations.

Inventor: FRANSON JAMES D
IPC: G02F3/00
Filed: 1999-04-26
Abstract: An optical method for quantum computing that makes use of nonlocal effects to construct the quantum gates themselves.

These nonlinear phase shifts are used to construct quantum logic gates, such as a Controlled-NOT.
Patent CA-2329886-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WRIGHT CHET
IPC: F23D3/16
Filed: 2000-12-29
Abstract: This invention is directed to a candle can of the type normally filled with an ignitable fuel. The candle can includes an upstanding continuous sidewall that is integrally coupled to a stamp formed candle can bottom structure at an outer periphery of the candle can bottom structure. The integral coupling of the sidewall to the bottom structure establishes a can support ring to engage a support surface. The stamp formed can bottom structure is so formed as to provide within the can an internally upwardly directed dome upon which a candlewick carrying element may be securely located within a dish shaped indentation in an apex region of the dome. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the intersection of the sidewall and the upwardly directed dome of the can bottom structure establishes an annular internal volume of fuel separated by the dome from a candlewick flame near the end of both the candlewick life and the supply of fuel. This just described arrangement of an annular internal volume of fuel which surrounds the dome minimizes flash-over while also creating the annular ring supporting surface for the candle can base which reduces heat transfer from the candle fuel and flame to the support surface.
Patent CA-2330058-A1 (CA)
Title: Deep drawn candle can with formed safety bottom
Inventor: WRIGHT CHET
IPC: C11C5/00
Filed: 2000-12-29
Abstract: A seamless candle can is formed in a blank and draw operation, and includes a complex bottom structure formed at the end of the drawing process. The bottom structure includes an annular base which occupies less than 30% of the area of the bottom surface, and a raised central platform for supporting a wick structure.  The platform is raised at least 0.25 inch above the container bottom. A gently sloping surface joins the annular support ring to the central platform. The distance by which the platform is raised and the angle of the connecting surface are adapted to prevent overstretching of the material during the formation of the bottom, so as to prevent the formation of holes in the seamless can which would cause leaks. The central platform serves to support a wick sustainer at a location above the bottom of the can in order to reduce the possibility of flash-over.

Title: Custom-molded cushion and method of making the same
Inventor: WEMPE PATRICK
IPC: B29C43/12
Filed: 2001-02-02
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a custom-contoured cushion for a wheelchair or other seating device and a method of making the same. In one embodiment, the novel custom-contoured cushion is comprised of a stretchable bag filled with soft and resilient closed-cell foam pellets adhered together by and/or embedded within an elastomeric polymerizable adhesive. The pellets do not absorb a significant amount of the adhesive and, after molding, remain sufficiently soft and resilient to provide a comfortable and durable cushion. Alternatively, the cushion contains soft and resilient pellets, but does not contain the elastomeric polymerizable adhesive.   In the first embodiment, the custom-molded, custom-contoured cushion is made by mixing the pellets with the adhesive to form a pellet/adhesive mixture, positioning the user on a bag filled with the pellet/adhesive mixture, molding the mixture around the user to provide cushioning around the user's seating surface, and allowing the adhesive to cure. The pellets and adhesive may either be added to the bag separately and mixed within the bag, or may be mixed outside the bag, after which the pellet/adhesive mixture is added to the bag.
