Patent CA-2261836-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAUER BARBARA OAKLEY
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 1997-08-29
Abstract: A personal care article for preventing exudates from contacting the body of a user comprises a substrate including an extensible bodyside liner layer, and an aperture support structure limiting extensibility of the bodyside liner layer along the length of the aperture support structure. One support band of an aperture support structure runs through the gluteal fold between the buttocks of a user. The aperture support structure positions an aperture in the bodyside liner layer in the gluteal fold of a user, in alignment with the anus, so that fecal material enters a containment receptacle upon leaving the anus. In another embodiment, the personal care article can include a comfort stretch layer comprising an elastomeric, hot melt, pressure-sensitive adhesive located between a bodyside liner layer and an outer layer. Elastomeric elements can follow the outside edges along the length of the personal care article and then curve inwardly at the crotch portion and cross each other at a cooperative location frontward of the aperture and corresponding to the perineum of a user. The personal care article can also have a first length at rest, and a second length when secured to the body of a user, the second length being at least 30 % greater than the first length.

Patent CA-2276189-A1 (CA)
Title: A method and apparatus for monitoring and controlling the amount of liquid in a mixing chamber
Inventor: FRANK JIMMY I
IPC: B67D7/80
Filed: 1997-12-22
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for improving the consistency and quality of a frozen carbonated beverage product. The invention utilizes a method of monitoring the level of liquid in the mixing chamber of a frozen carbonated beverage machine to accomplish this result. The method involves measuring the pressure spikes that occur in the mixing chamber. The magnitude of a pressure spike is indicative of the amount of liquid in the mixing chamber. If a pressure spike is too high or too low, that is indicative that there is too much or too little liquid in the mixing chamber.      By regulating the amount of liquid in the chamber, the consistency and quality of the beverage product can be maintained. The present invention uses a microprocessor to determine when the spikes are outside of an acceptable predetermined range. If the pressure spikes are outside of the acceptable range, the microprocessor readjusts set point pressure values, which are used to determine when to turn on and off the supply of ingredients into the chamber, thereby regulating the gas to liquid ratio, and thus the amount of liquid in the chamber. This in turn allows for accurate control over the consistency and quality of the beverage product.
Patent CA-2276807-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRITAIN KENT R
IPC: A47L15/42
Filed: 1999-07-05
Abstract: A water-driven jet or venturi extraction means is used to remove, capture and cool the hot, highly humid air created within commercial dishwashers during a wash rinse or sanitization cycle. A cold water spray is used to create a pressure reduction zone which serves to draw in hot, highly humid air from the dishwasher. Water vapor cools and condenses on contact with the cold water spray within the venturi. The invention also serves to help vent the dishwasher. Cool, fresh air is drawn into the dishwasher while the hot air is drawn into the venturi.

Title: Power efficient indoor radio base station
Inventor: STOLT TOMAS
IPC: H04B1/38
Filed: 1998-04-07
Abstract: A power efficient indoor radio base station for use with wireless cellular telecommunication systems is disclosed. A small unitary package design is achieved by reducing the level of power dissipation, and subsquently, the size of the heat sink required for heat dissipation.  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of transmitter signals are combined in a hybrid combiner to generate a pair of output signals. A first output signal is transmitted through a dipole antenna resulting in vertical polarization and a second output signal is transmitted through a horizontal antenna producing horizontal polarization. Further, a phase shift of 90° is introduced between the signals prior to transmission. The resulting simultaneous transmission of the perpendicularly oriented signals yields a substantially circular polarized field in the area of coverage. Power dissipation is reduced by transmitting the horizontal polarized signal because it is converted to useful energy that would otherwise be dissipated in a load resistor.

Patent CA-2291077-A1 (CA)
Title: A reference based parametric dimensioning method and system
Inventor: JACKSON GEOFF
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 1998-01-16
Abstract: The described CAD system enables a drafter to easily enter dimension entities, which describe the physical dimensions of an object in a CAD drawing or model. The dimension entities define either linear, angular, or radial dimensions, and for each dimension entity, the user defines a reference origin in addition to the normal dimensional information. The value of each defined dimension entity may be a simple constant, a parameter, or an expression of multiple constants and parameters. By virtue of the added reference origin, a very complex network of related dimension entities can be simply defined and easily modified. The recalculation of the dimension entities is performed by a parametric dimensioning engine that transforms groups of entities from the global space of the general CAD drawing or model into a local space. While in local space, the parametric dimensioning recalculates the coordinate data of the entities.

Title: Barrier-coated polyester
Inventor: LEE ROBERT A
IPC: C08J7/048
Filed: 1998-10-19
Abstract: This invention relates to articles made of polyester, preferably polyethylene terephthalate (PET), having coated directly to at least one of the surfaces thereof one or more layers of thermo-plastic material with good gas-barrier characteristics, and novel methods of making such articles. Preferably the barrier-coated articles take the form of preforms coated by at least one layer of barrier material and the containers blow-molded therefrom.

The materials and methods provide that the barrier layers have good adherence to PET, even during and after the blow molding process to form containers from preforms. Preferred barrier coating materials include poly(hydroxyamino ethers). In one preferred method, preforms are injection molded then barrier-coated immediately thereafter.
