Abstract: Disclosed is a universal timepiece from which a latitude and a longitude can be determined. A bottom plate (1) which has the names of the main cities in the world, scales and the relative longitudes according to the real longitudes of the cities on the circumference thereof, is included. Comprised is a circular hour plate (2) which has a 24-divisional scale having the same angles with respect to the center. And a circular star plate (3) which rotates 360.99~ per 24 hours is included. The rotational axis coincides with the Polaris or the south pole and the main stars and a concentric circle for representing the declination are designated in the star plate (3). At each concentric circle, the declination or the value obtained by subtracting the declination from 90~ is recorded. The clock plate rotates to indicate the time. The star plate (3) is the timepiece which rotates in the same velocity with the actual celestial sphere.

Patent CA-2395582-A1 (CA)
Inventor: AKAZAKI SHUSUKE
IPC: F02D41/14
Filed: 2000-12-21
Abstract: A target air-fuel ratio KCMD for an exhaust gas upstream of a catalytic converter is sequentially deter-mined to converge the output VO2/OUT of an O2 sensor down-stream of the catalytic converter to a target value VO2/TARGET, and the amount of fuel supplied to an internal combustion engine is controlled to converge the output KACT  of an air-fuel ratio sensor to the target air-fuel ratio KCMD. While the amount of fuel supplied to the internal combustion engine is being thus controlled, the value of a deterioration linear function a whose variable components are represented by time-series data of the output VO2/OUT  of the O2 sensor is determined. A central value of the square .sigma.2 of the value of the deterioration linear function .sigma. is determined as a deterioration evaluating parameter. A  deteriorated state of the catalytic converter is evaluated on the basis of the value of the deterioration evaluating parameter.

Patent CA-2398713-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PASTORE ROBERT
IPC: H03H9/64
Filed: 2001-02-01
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un nouveau filtre SAW programmable (100) muni de transducteurs internumériques (IDT) à éléments multiples commutables pilotés par un microprocesseur ou un ordinateur, assurant l'accordabilité tant de la fréquence centrale que de la bande passante du filtre SAW (100). Dans une forme de réalisation, la fréquence centrale du filtre SAW (100) installé dans un boîtier à double rangée de connexions (102) est réglée dans une plage comprise entre 126,8 MHz et 199,1 MHz, tandis que la bande passante de 3 dB se situe entre 18,8 MHz et 58,9 MHz. La configuration à entrées multiples augmente la programmabilité du dispositif et améliore la perte d'insertion. Un réseau d'appariement améliore davantage le niveau de perte d'insertion et l'atténuation de la bande d'affaiblissement. Un procédé de pondération de résistance améliore l'ondulation résiduelle dans la bande, grâce à la réduction de cette ondulation dans la bande passante qui passe de 6,44 dB à 1,37dB. Le filtre SAW (100) simplifie la structure du dispositif et le processus de fabrication en modelant la réponse en fréquence sans apodisation, et en éliminant les circuits de pondération et de sommation des prises, ce qui donne des dispositifs plus compacts et moins chers.

Patent CA-2417684-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WALLICK SCOTT A
IPC: B65D5/50
Filed: 2003-01-30
Abstract: A shipping container for liquids is described. This consists of an outer corrugated paperboard container containing an inner corrugated liner forming corner posts. A flexible or semi-flexible bladder or jug generally conforming in cross section to the inside of the corrugated container contains the liquid. It is desirable for the in-ner corrugated liner to be bonded to the outer container, especially along the margins of the corner posts. It has been found to be critical that the ratio of the length of the outside face of the outer container to the corner post length should be no greater than about 8:1. This is essential to prevent face bulging, especially when the inner plastic container is filled with a high density material such as a paint. Where the inner plastic container has an upstanding handle or spout it is useful to have filler pieces that bear between the plastic container and upper flaps of the outer corrugated container. This prevents any up and down motion of the inner container during normal handling or under the severe stresses that might be imposed on a paint shaker.

Patent CA-2421406-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MEUSEL MARKUS
IPC: B01D61/18
Filed: 2001-09-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for separating undissolved constituents out of biological fluids, especially for separating blood plasma out of whole blood. It is to propose a simple and cost-effective way by means of which undissolved constituents can be separated out of biological fluids, in particular blood plasma out of whole blood, and the pure fluid is presenting then as a pure liquid volume without any substrate. To solve this object, e.g., whole blood is placed into a feed chamber. The feed chamber is isolated in an all-over manner by means of a membrane from a per se closed cavity having a small height. The cavity is connected to a flow channel or an opening from which the/ the separated blood plasma can be removed. The whole blood as a pure biological fluid, which has been placed into a feed chamber (1), will be transferred in the orthogonal direction by means of suction forces, forces of pressure, capillary forces and / or the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column through the membrane (2) separating the biological fluid from undissolved constituents, from the membrane (2) into a cavity (3) having a small height, and therefrom as a pure fluid into a volume. In the cavity (3) another transport membrane (5) carrying the biological fluid laterally to the flow channel (4) or the opening with a higher effect of capillary force than that of the exclusively separating membrane (2) can be arranged and contacted in a two-dimensional manner with the separating membrane (1).
