Patent CA-2253638-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAINT DAVID
IPC: F03G1/00
Filed: 1996-11-12
Abstract: A spring motor mechanism for use with a child's swing (100) that includes a spring (300) attached to a slip clutch device (400) to prevent the spring (300) from becoming over wound. In addition, the spring motor mechanism includes an indicator (800) which reveals the amount of torsional energy stored in the spring (300). This can be used by an operator to approximate the time remaining before the spring (300) must be re-wound. The invention also includes an adjustable swing height system (700) that allows the operator of the swing to determine a maximum swing height and also prevents the overswinging of the child seat (116).

Abstract: A communication system and method, particularly adapted for use in adaptive antenna arrays, are presented. A plurality of signals containing a desired signal, interference, and noise are received through an array of antennas connected to a base receiving station. The signal arriving at each antenna is weighted according to computations which adjust those weights as a function of received interference and noise power in an unequal manner, based on the estimation accuracy of the interference and noise, which in turn depends on factors such as interference to noise power ratios and fading rate.

Abstract: Echangeur thermique de dissipation calorifique d'un élément générateur de chaleur. L'échangeur comprend une embase thermoconductrice conçue de manière à effectuer un échange thermique avec ledit élément, un ensemble d'ailettes de dissipation sur produit plat fixé sur ladite embase et dans lequel lesdites ailettes de dissipation forment un essaim d'ailettes, au moins un conduit et des moyens de commande du fluide pour gérer l'écoulement du fluide à travers l'essaim d'ailettes. Dans un mode de réalisation, les moyens de commande du fluide tirent partie de la dépression créée per le passage de l'écoulement du fluide pour refroidir le fluide à pression relativement élevée circulant dans l'essaim d'ailettes. Selon un autre mode de réalisation possible, les moyens de commande du fluide peuvent réduire sensiblement les jaillissements prématurés de fluide hors de l'essaim d'ailettes qui pourraient être causés par la zone de haute pression régnant dans l'essaim d'ailettes.

Patent CA-2285363-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RASMUSSEN HENRIK
IPC: A01K5/02
Filed: 1998-04-03
Abstract: A feeding device (1) is intended for use for feeding piglets.   The feeding device comprises a pivotally pipe (2) mounted on a frame in a position below a hopper (10). A control bar (15) extends through the hopper (10) and the pipe (2) and is fastened to the lower end of the pipe by means of a fitting (25). The control bar (15) is made of an elastically flexible material and may be displaced in a slide bushing (16) in order to adjust the elastic flexibility by adjusting the length of the free section (33) of the bar (15). The pipe (2) may thus be deflected when animals push to the lower end in order to eat fodder on a fodder plate (4). Subsequent to a deflection the pipe will take its neutral starting position. By suitable dimensioning of the bar (15) an elastic flexibility is achieved in an easy and simple way, whereby the feeding device may be adjusted to animals of different sizes and especially to piglets.
Patent CA-2286762-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BEYDA WILLIAM JOSEPH
IPC: H04M3/428
Filed: 1998-04-03
Abstract: A method and arrangement of utilizing an announcement system to provide paging capability for a facility includes automating the integration of a telephone switch, a voicemail system, and an announcement system. An unanswered call to a telephone of the facility is forwarded to the voicemail system, establishing a first connection between the telephone of the calling party and the voicemail system. The caller is presented with the option of recording a message or initiating a broadcast of an audible page announcement. If the announcement option is selected, a second connection that is separate from the first connection is formed from the voicemail system to the announcement system. An audible announcement identifies the availability of the call for retrieval by the particular called party. In the preferred embodiment, access to the waiting call is restricted to either or both of verification of a password and verification that the retrieval is from one of a limited number of authorized telephones. Security and privacy are further enhanced by restricting access to the announcement procedure in accordance with the preferred embodiment. Multi-tier call notification may be employed, with differences in the tiers being based either upon regions of broadcast (e.g., localized versus general-facility announcements) or upon modes of paging (e.g., overhead announcements versus a page to a particular remote page device).

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des compositions insolubles contenant des protéines acylées, choisies dans le groupe constitué par l'insuline acylée, un analogue de l'insuline acylée, et la pro-insuline acylée; elle concerne également des formulations de ces compositions, conçues pour un apport parentéral ou d'autres moyens d'apport à un patient, aux fins d'une régulation accrue des taux de glycémie. L'invention concerne notamment des compositions comprenant une protéine acylée complexée avec du zinc, une protamine et un composé phénolique, de façon que le microcristal résultant soit analogue à la forme cristalline de l'insuline semilente Hagedorn (NPH). De manière étonnante, on a découvert que des compositions de telles protéines acylées possèdent des pharmacocinétiques de libération sous-cutanée supérieures sur le plan thérapeutique, ainsi que des glucodynamiques à profil plus étendu et plus plat, que celles de préparations d'insuline NPH, actuellement disponibles sur le marché. Par ailleurs, les cristaux de l'invention conservent certaines propriétés avantageuses des cristaux de NPH, en ce qu'ils peuvent être facilement remis en suspension et peuvent également être mélangés à des insulines solubles.
