Patent CA-2086200-A1 (CA)
Title: Container for data-storage devices
Inventor: GOEKLER MALCOLM L
IPC: G11B33/04
Filed: 1992-12-23
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE      A container for holding data-storage devices of different sizes, e.g. disks of various sizes, cartridges and cassettes. The container is provided with a plurality of trays, preferably identical to each other, which rest on the container bottom, each tray having a platform for receiving and holding data-storage devices.  Each tray can be turned either side up in the container, and each has support members which are of different heights on its opposite sides so that the platform is positioned higher or lower in the container depending on which way it is turned.  The trays are placed in the container in an orientation selected to support the particular size of storage devices to be placed in them; for taller storage devices, the tray is preferably turned so its platform is lower, and vice versa when shorter storage devices are to be stored, whereby the tops of storage devices of different sizes can be made to lie at about the same height for convenient viewing and grasping.  Compartments are formed on each side of each tray, and these compartments are preferably of smaller area on the side of the tray which is uppermost when the tray is in the position which places the platform in its higher position, i.e. to receive shorter devices.  The bottom of the container is preferably ridged, so it can be used to receive and hold especially large data-storage devices when the trays are removed.

Abstract: COMBINATION TRANSDUCER/SLIDER/SUSPENSION           AND METHOD FOR MAKING                    ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE       A disk drive assembly in which the suspension,  slider and transducer are integrated and fabricated to produce a combination        assembly.         The        combination transducer-slider-suspension assembly is batch produced by forming a plurality of the combination assemblies onto a single wafer.   The wafer  is  then diced to  separate  the assemblies into individual sections.   The transducers are deposited onto the wafer and the air bearing surface formed. Conductors to interconnect each transducer with the external circuits are insulated from the wafer and deposited along a path  which  will  form  the  suspension.   A  spring-like resilient layer  is  then deposited  over  and  electrically insulated from the conductors.   The wafer is then pattern etched to remove a portion of the wafer backside to form the suspension  and  provide  a  transducer/slider  combination having an air bearing surface after the wafer is diced to separate  the  individual  combination assemblies.   The  air bearing surface is defined as the slider surface immediately adjacent the media surface during read/write operation of the disk drive assembly whether or not the slider is flying above or in sliding contact with the media surface during operation.   Integrated circuit amplifiers can be deposited at the free end of the conductors prior to separation of individual assemblies.

Title: Electrical sensor for sensing moisture in soils
Inventor: HAWKINS ALFRED J
IPC: G01N27/12
Filed: 1993-04-01
Abstract: A soil moisture sensor to be implanted in soil.      The sensor has a conductive metal housing, perforated to pass moisture to and through a filter liner which lines an internal cavity. A transfer matrix is confined in the liner and is abutted by a buffer tablet of compacted gypsum. An electrode matrix abuts the tablet and bridges a pair of spaced-apart electrodes. Water, or absence of water, in the electrode matrix provides a measure of moisture in the soil as a function of electrical conductivity between the electrodes.

Title: Directional switched beam antenna
Inventor: SHAFAI LOTFOLLAH
IPC: H01Q1/36
Filed: 1993-04-15
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE    A switched beam antenna comprising several spiral arms with a common axis of rotation and respective inner ends angularly spaced around a common circle generates high gain directional beams at an angle away from the antenna axis.          Beam scanning is accomplished by rotating the feed to the arms by means of a commutator circuit.  Intermediate beams may be generated by feeding two adjacent antenna arms simultaneously but with an appropriate phase shift.   A comparator may be provided to compare signals from several arms and select the arm yielding maximum signal strength.

Title: Boat hull and propulsion system or the like
Inventor: HOLDEN JOSEPH T
IPC: B63H5/14
Filed: 1991-11-27
Abstract: A device, such as a boat hull and propulsion system, for effecting relative movement of a flowable substance, such as water. A  channel having open upstream and downstream ends at least partially defines a flow path. The channel includes a fully laterally closed core section distal the upstream end with a fluid moving rotor (30) rotatably mounted therein and a transition section extending forward from the upstream end of the core section. The channel configuration and rotor (30) are adapted to permit a continual decrease in the traverse cross-sectional area of the flow path downstream along the transition section. If the device is a boat hull, the bow (12) is configured to cause gas lubrication thereof by interaction with the water in motion. The transition sections of the channels may be open-bottomed, and ribs (26) are provided to house drive shafts (42) extending downwardly to the rotors (30).  The bow (12) provides lift, and downwardly facing surfaces (26) adjacent the stern are inclined to balance this lift, so that the boat can rise on the water with an upward translating type movement. The rotors (30) themselves are also improved.

Title: Self adjusting motor positioning system and method
Inventor: FRANCISCO ROBERT J
IPC: G05B19/416
Filed: 1993-11-17
Abstract: A self-adjusting motor positioning system comprises a motor including a shaft extending therefrom, a disc coupled to the motor shaft and having at least first and second notches, rotating apparatus coupled to the motor shaft whereby the rotating apparatus is intermittently driven by the motor, a sensor adjacent the disc for detecting the first and second notches, and a control processor coupled to the sensor and the motor for receiving detection signals from the sensor and for turning the motor on and off. The control processor includes memory for storing a time delay count representing a time delay for the control processor to turn off the motor after the second notch is detected by the sensor. The rotating apparatus includes a starting position from which the rotating apparatus begins. The first notch in the disc corresponds to the starting position of the rotating apparatus. The control processor turns the motor off when the time delay expires after the sensor detects the second notch. The sensor senses for the first notch as the motor coasts to a stop, and the control processor adjusts the time delay count if the first notch is not detected when the disc is at a complete stop.

Title: Fluted-wedge osteal prosthetic component
Inventor: THORNHILL THOMAS S
IPC: A61F2/36
Filed: 1992-07-02
Abstract: An osteal prosthetic component (10) of a prosthetic joint and a method of implanting an osteal prosthetic component (10) in the medullary canal (32) of a bone (30) are disclosed. The osteal prosthetic component (10) includes a stem (28) for disposition within a medullary canal (32) of a bone (30) and a fluted wedge (44) portion extending from the stem (28). The fluted wedge (44) has wedge portions (48) which define at least one flute (50) between the wedge portions (48). An interference fit is formed between the wedge portions (48) and the bone (30) during implantation of the stem (28) into the medullary canal (32). Movement of the osteal prosthetic component (10) relative to the bone (30) is thereby sufficiently limited to allow tissue growth into a tissue-ingrowth portion (42) at the surface of the stem (28) to substantially prevent micromotion of the stem (28) relative to the bone (30).
