Patent CA-2258478-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLAB RICHARD
IPC: B63H16/10
Filed: 1999-01-11
Abstract: Flexoar is used for the propulsion of small boats, usually a row-boat. Flexoar is a set of two oars, an oar is installed on right side and the second on the left side of the boat.  The rower (oarsman or oarswomen) will row using Flexoar sitting and facing the front of the boat, directing the boat frontward. With the action of the rower pulling handles towards his body (regular rowing procedure), gear boxes on each oar which are located between the handle and the wooden or aluminium paddles, will propel the boat in the direction of the front of the boat. The connecting gear box has the reversing effect when handles are pulled to let paddles in the water to move backward and push the boat forward. The gear box connects the handle and the oar by two nylon GF gears (gears may also be in metal or aluminium), and attached to the box by two pins and a handle for removing and carrying oars. Each gear box comprises a push and pull shaft to allow for the movement, up and down of oars, Gear boxes are attached to the push and pull handle bolt and lock bolt mechanism, the later is mounted onto supports and one lock bolt, supports are attached to the boat with four bolts or riveted. Each Lock bolt mechanism is used here to prevent oars to fall and dipping into the water or other incident.

Title: Method and apparatus for providing network infrastructure information for a network control center
Inventor: BURNETT JAMES D
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 1999-03-08
Abstract: This infrastructure computer and program uses information supplied by sensors to calculate the operational characteristics of back up systems located at central offices during times of crisis such as the loss of commercial power, or some other natural or man-made disaster. The sensors transmit the battery float voltage, power requirements, temperature of critical telecommunication equipment components, average telecommunication equipment temperature, and the amount of fuel available for backup generators provides data to an infrastructure management computer program. The computer program accesses databases containing known information such as the power curves for the backup generators, and battery discharge curves for the battery string. The infrastructure management computer program calculates the battery hour reserve, the fuel hour reserve, and thermal reserves to more accurately predict the operational status of the central office for improved disaster planning.

Abstract: Pour une signalisation destinée à la configuration d'une interface radio en vue de la transmission de données par paquets (GPRS), des tranches de temps permettant la signalisation dans le sens montant indépendamment d'une transmission de données par paquets sont attribuées par une station de base aux stations mobiles selon une séquence prédéfinie. Cette attribution fixe d'une tranche de temps permettant la signalisation également pour les stations mobiles, auxquelles aucun canal physique n'a été attribué pour le moment, permet à la station de base d'effectuer une mesure en continue pour l'interface radio. Lors de la reprise de la transmission de données par paquets, on dispose ainsi de valeurs de mesure immédiatement valables pour la configuration de l'interface radio.

Patent CA-2273068-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAGAYAMA YUTAKA
IPC: F16B33/02
Filed: 1999-05-27
Abstract: A nut consists of integral metal material and has a female screw thread formed with a rolled tap in a screw hole that opens substantially perpendicularly to an end surface of one end of the nut. A lead thread is located at an opening end of the screw hole and has a shape including a concave curved portion and a linear tapered portion that are continuous with each other, and extend along the overall periphery of the opening end of the hole. Due to the special lead thread, the first thread formed by the rolled tap adjacent to the lead thread will not have a concave groove along its crest, although subsequent threads have such a concave groove along the thread crest as a characteristic of thread formation with the rolled tap. Such a thread structure avoids cross-threading when a bolt is engaged in the nut.
Patent CA-2274414-A1 (CA)
Title: Dietary fish protein for use in restoring normal insulin function insulin-resistant individuals
Inventor: LAVIGNE CHARLES
IPC: A23L33/17
Filed: 1999-06-11
Abstract: The present invention describes the use of fish protein, namely cod protein, to improve the peripheral insulin resistance in a mammal. Fish protein has been administered to rats submitted to high sucrose or high fat diets, which are animal models for diabetes. It has been found that fish protein efficiently controls glucose utilization, particularly in muscle tissue. This effect is not observed when rats are given casein or soy proteins. Fish protein is therefore promising for controlling insulin-resistance, diabetes and obesity complications.

Patent CA-2277508-A1 (CA)
Title: Driving mechanism for shaking tray
Inventor: TAMLIN PAUL ROBERT
IPC: B65G27/12
Filed: 1999-07-12
Abstract: The driving mechanism has a drive shaft which rotates a driving block. A cam is mounted for rotation to the driving block and is received in a slot of a follower. As the cam rotates, it rolls backwards and forwards in the slot and causes the follower to rotate. A connecting rod is affixed to the follower and is rotated by it. The connecting rod rotates about an axis parallel to, but offset from, the axis about which the drive shaft rotates. The rate of rotation of the drive shaft is unvarying whereas the connecting rod rotates at a varying rate. A crank is affixed to the connecting rod and imparts reciprocating motion to the tray. A link can be substituted for the cam.

Patent CA-2280764-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOLMBERG PER
IPC: G06F9/355
Filed: 1998-02-03
Abstract: In a computer a system for branch prediction is arranged. The branch prediction system uses a scanning mechanism (303) for scanning the program memory for conditional branch instructions during the running of the program. When finding such an instruction the system records during a preset time interval (311) the statistics for that specific conditional branch instruction and sets a branch prediction bit in the instruction accordingly (321). The system then starts to scan for the next conditional branch instruction in the program memory. The system can also be used for updating a BHT during the running of a program. The use of the system is particularly useful in applications when a program is run for a relatively long time such as a program used in a telephone switch. The use of the system also allows for changing branch predictions during the run of a program.

Inventor: STEER PETER LESLIE
IPC: A61F5/448
Filed: 1999-08-27
Abstract: An ostomy coupling (10) is described in which a body-side coupling member (12) has walls (20, 22) defining a channel (24) for receiving the projecting annular formation (48) of the bag-side coupling member (14). A locating rib (26) projects from the floor of the channel, for co-operating with a groove (58) of the bag-side member to centre and prevent tilting of the coupling members. The bag-side member has a deformable wiper seal (56) which seals against the inner wall (20) of the body-side member, and wipes clean the wall (20) during assembly and separation of the coupling members.  The outer wall (22) of the bag-side coupling member might be deformable, and a finger tab (82) might be provided to facilitate separation of the coupling members if desired.  The bag-side coupling member (14) has an integral vent filter housing (60).
