Patent CA-2173078-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NOLTE DOUGLAS A
IPC: E05B17/00
Filed: 1996-03-29
Abstract: A latch assembly and process for manufacturing such an assembly and process for painting an assembly with a pivoting member are disclosed. The latching assembly comprises a body, a latch moveable between open and closed positions, and a thumb turn mounted for pivotal movement in the body. The thumb turn includes a cylindrical boss mounted for rotation in the body about a central axis of rotation, and a lever arm extending radially outwardly from the central axis of rotation of the cylindrical boss to a free end exposed outside of the body. A plurality of resilient arms having free hook ends engage the cylindrical boss to hold the cylindrical boss in the body while allowing for rotational movement of the cylindrical boss with pivotal movement of the lever arm. The free hook ends are held in a separate position which prevents rotational movement during the painting step of the manufacturing process.

Title: Improved emulsion polymerization process utilizing a specifically defined ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable water-soluble nonionic surfactant formed by the reaction of a diallylamine, ethylene oxide, and propylene oxide and/or butylene oxide
Inventor: ANCHOR MICHAEL J
IPC: C09D125/00
Filed: 1996-04-10
Abstract: An improved emulsion polymerization process utilizing at least one substantially water-insoluble ethylenically unsaturated monomer is provided for forming discrete solid polymeric particles suitable for use in coating and/or adhesive applications. During at least the initial portion of the polymerization a dissolved water-soluble polymerizable surfactant (as defined) formed by the reaction of a diallylamine, ethylene oxide, and propylene oxide and/or butylene oxide additionally is provided in the reaction zone in the continuous aqueous phase. The water-soluble polymerizable surfactant undergoes copolymerization and is substantially completely consumed during the course of the emulsion polymerization. The emulsion polymerization is carried out on a stable basis, there is no need to attempt to remove a surfactant at the conclusion of the emulsion polymerization, and the resulting polymeric particles are particularly well suited for coating and/or adhesive end uses where they form stable films and exhibit improved adhesion characteristics.

Abstract: This invention is an endometrial ablation device and a method of manufacturing and using the device. An RF current is passed through an endometrium (22) to heat it. An electro-conductive expandable member such as a balloon (10) is used as the medium for passing the current and causing the heating of the endometrium (22). The power delivered from a power source to the balloon (10) is selectively provided to a plurality of electrode area segments (34) on the balloon (10) with each of the segments (34) having a thermistor (32) associated with it whereby temperature is monitored and controlled by a feedback arrangement from the thermistors (32). The method of manufacturing the ablation device includes using commercially available stretchable sheet material or providing a mandrel (324) or support base (352) and coating the mandrel or base with an uncured emulsion. The emulsion is then cured to form a bladder-like coating, which is thereafter removed from the mandrel or base to form a bladder (320).

Abstract: A reclining mechanism for a child safety seat used in motor vehicles that enables the safety seat to be used in both a forward and rearward facing position.  It comprises a seat (11), a base member (15) to which the seat (11) is attached, connection means (19, 22) between the seat (11) and base member (15) that allow movement of the seat (11) with respect to the base (15).  Movement comprising a first range of reclining movement where the seat (11) is able to move between an upright position and a first recline position, and a second range of reclining movement where the seat further moves between the first reclined position and a second reclined position, and stop means (33) that prevents the seat (11) moving from the first reclined position into the second range of reclining movement, the stop means (33) requiring some manual operation to allow release of the seat (11) into the second range of reclining movement.  This allows a minor amount of reclining of the seat (11) while restraining the seat (11) from fully reclining which may be dangerous when in the forward facing position.  The fully reclined position is only when the child safety seat is used in a rearward facing position.

Title: Paving system for spillage and flood management
Inventor: PRATT CHRISTOPHER JOHN
IPC: E03F1/00
Filed: 1995-10-16
Abstract: The paving system has a perforated pavement (1) covering a deep substrate of mainly hard nodules or shells, the whole being surrounded by impervious walls (5) to provide temporary storage in the interstices for chemical spillage or flood water, wherein liquids may be chemically treated or biologically decomposed, and whence the rate of outflow may be regulated. The pavement may consist of preformed pavings of brick, concrete or other material, laid edge to edge without mortar or cement. These pavings may be perforated or notched to allow liquids to run down into the substrate. The pavings are laid on a screen (2, 3) which filters out solid particles to stop the system clogging. This system allows biological substances to grow, or be introduced with or without additional nutrients, or chemical treatments to be introduced, from above, when needed. The whole pavement system can be lifted out for cleaning or substitution, and relaid as new.
