Title: Flying disc toy with lighting system
Inventor: VANDERMAAS JOHN
IPC: A63B65/10
Filed: 1996-10-24
Abstract: A flying disc toy of the FRISBEE? type provides a lighting system having LEDs used in conjunction with a glow-in-the-dark body. The flying disc provides a raised center section having a plurality of LEDs mounted radially at spaced intervals. A motion responsive switch is used to turn on the LEDs in response to movement of the disc. Electronic circuitry controlling the LEDs provides a timer circuit that automatically turns off the LEDs a timed period after they are turned on. As a result of the motion sensitive switch and timer circuit, the lights flash on and off rapidly as the disc flies through air turbulence. No on-off switch is required, since the circuitry rapidly turns itself off. Because no on-off switch is present, all components are carried in awaterproof raised center section having no opening. An optional battery plug structure is threadedly insertable into a plug receiver in the raised center section, and allows the user to replace the battery.
Patent CA-2189706-A1 (CA)
Title: System and method for determining quality of printed matter
Inventor: ESFAHANI MAJID H
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 1996-11-06
Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining print quality of a printer wherein printed matter is controllably presented to an optical transducer unit which scans user or machine selected areas of said printed matter to generate a signal that is processed by a processing unit to determine print quality.  The processing unit processes the signal in an efficient and rapid three step method in which the signal produced by the transducer unit is modified and segmented to determine general characteristics, recognized by a recognition engine and finally checked for voids, spots, blobs or the like.  The invention provides an operator with the ability to set quality thresholds such as an acceptable number of quality defects in a single scan.          If the number of quality defects exceeds the user input quality limit, the processor unit determines that the printed matter is poor quality and may cause the printer to cease printing.
Patent CA-2189715-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HERCHENBACH PAUL
IPC: F16D3/84
Filed: 1996-11-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a protective device which, by means of connecting caps 8 and sliding rings, is supported on the two universal joints 2, 2'. Furthermore, each connecting cap 8 is formed to allow a protective funnel 12 to be connected thereto. Protective devices of said type provide protection against contact and are stationary, while the driveshaft 1 rotates. By means of spokes 19, each connecting cap 8 is attached to a supporting ring 13 which supports the protective funnel 12 from the inside. When the protective funnel 12 is subjected to radial loads, for example if the driveshaft is stepped on unintentionally, the purpose of the above measure is to prevent the protective funnel 12 from contacting the components of the universal joints 2, 2' which it covers. This measure ensures that in order to make the components of the universal joint 2, 2' accessible, for example for the purpose of sliding on a power take-off shaft, the protective funnel can be made to be sufficiently resilient in the direction of the longitudinal axis, while at the same time being capable of accommodating high loads in the radial direction.

Title: Hepatocyte-selective oil-in-water emulsion
Inventor: COUNSELL RAYMOND E
IPC: A61K9/127
Filed: 1995-05-16
Abstract: A heat and shelf-stable oil-in-water emulsion useful as a tissue or cell-selective delivery vehicle. Radioactive or stable, synthetic or semi-synthetic polyhalogenated triglycerides, such as 2-oleoylglycerol-1,3-bis[7-(3-amino-2,4,6-triiodophenyl)heptanoate] or 2-oleoylglycerol-1,3-bis[.omega.-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl)-heptanoate] or phenyl acetate, can be incorporated into the lipophilic core of a lipoprotein-like emulsion particle. The lipophilic core is surrounded by a phospholipid membrane comprising cholesterol and apolipoproteins. For hepatocyte-selective delivery, the emulsion is chylomicron remnant-like by being in a size range of 50 to 200 nm as measured by number weighting analysis with a narrow size distribution ( 2 % greater than 300 nm) and having a composition simulating naturally-occurring chylomicron remnants. Use of cholesterol in the emulsion formula facilitates association of apolipoproteins, especially Apo E which are recognized by liver cells and necessary for binding and uptake. Stability and size constraints can be achieved by ultra high energy mixing equipment, such as the MicroFluidizer (Microfluidics Corp., Newton, MA) to form the emulsion. In preferred embodiments, osmolality of the emulsion is controlled by glycerol rather than normal saline.

Patent CA-2199192-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PITMAN MALCOLM D
IPC: E21B17/06
Filed: 1997-03-05
Abstract: A hydraulic disconnect is disclosed which allows flow therethrough for normal downhole operations. A shiftable sleeve is provided which closes off internal flow passages to permit pressure build-up which is in turn used to move a piston to undermine a dog to facilitate release. Shifting of a sleeve is accomplished by either creating backpressure through flow or by differential pressure between the inside of the joint and the annulus which is used to shift a piston which in turn acts on the release sleeve which in turn blocks a passage so that subsequent pressure build-up can result in shifting of another piston to undermine dogs which allows the joint to separate. The tool transmits torque through its body without stressing the locking dogs. Tensile and compressive loads are handled through the body giving the tool the connection strength of a tool joint.

Inventor: HO JIN-MENG
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1997-08-21
Abstract: A method and a system for multi-user communications in a CDMA-based satellite network. An uplink RF signal containing a coded user message that has been differentially phase encoded and spread using a Walsh function and a pseudo-random number (PN) sequence for the uplink, is received by a satellite receiver. The received uplink RF signal is non-coherently quadrature demodulated and then despread using the uplink PN sequence and Walsh function. The differential phase signal carrying the coded user message is regenerated onboard the satellite by phase comparison and switched to a selected downlink transmitter. The quadrature components of the differential phase signal are then respread using a Walsh function and a PN sequence for the downlink, followed by quadrature modulation for transmission to a terrestrial receiver. The received downlink RF signal is coherently quadrature demodulated and despread using the PN sequence and Walsh function for the downlink. The downlink carrier phase originated from the uplinkdifferential phase is regenerated from the despread quadrature baseband components and, hence, the coded user message is detected and decoded.

Title: Systems and methods for providing communications through an alternate communication network
Inventor: PARTRIDGE B WARING III
IPC: H04M3/12
Filed: 1997-11-12
Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a communications path through a selected communications network in the event of a transmission failure on the initial, real-time, communications network are presented. The selected network operates in a non-real-time manner and is configured such that communications may be scheduled for transfer, rather than requiring instantaneous access. The use of the selected network reduces both the loading of and access costs to the real-time network. For example, a user who places an unanswered long-distance call may leave a message for a recipient, and that message is transferred to therecipient over the alternate network as time is available on the network, ratherthan over the primary long-distance voice network. The selected network may be a network that is entirely separate from the real-time network or the "two" networks may be a single coextensive network having voice and data attributes.
