Patent CA-2133164-A1 (CA)
Title: Dual Compensating Stabilizer
Inventor: PARKER ERIC G
IPC: B60G21/00
Filed: 1994-09-28
Abstract: A stabilizing system for use with a vehicle suspension which employs a first and second strap or other flexible tension member associated with and extending between opposite control arm assemblies of the suspension.  A first end of each strap is anchored to a corresponding control arm assembly.  A second end, distal the first end, of each strap is anchored to the control arm assembly distal the first end.  Each strap, alternately, weaves over and under at least two guides associated with and positioned between the path of the straps.  The guides and/or bushings associated with the anchor points may be formed of a yieldable material to provide a yieldable biasing action on the straps.  An adjustment assembly is associated with each strap to preload the associated strap to a desired tension.  The stabilizing system occupies space between the control arm assemblies and is very lightweight due to the thin belt-like characteristics of the straps.  The stabilizing system of the present invention functions to transfer forces imposed on one control assembly to the opposite control arm assembly by alternately placing an associated strap in tension or allowing the other strap to go slack.  The flexible tension members or straps are preferrably connected to the control arms at locations tending to minimize the effect of single wheel impact loads.

Title: Water reservoir for a refrigerator
Inventor: HORTIN GREGORY G
IPC: B67D1/08
Filed: 1994-11-28
Abstract: A water reservoir is provided for a refrigerator. The reservoir is formed as an elongated tubular member bent into a single U-shape with the tubular member having a constant cross section along its length and a constant vertical rise along its length from an inlet to an outlet. The two legs angle upwardly at a common slope and the legs are substantially the same length so that the inlet and outlet are adjacent to one another. The reservoir thus forms a compact shape which fits into a previously unused space behind a crisper drawer within the refrigerator compartment.

Title: Photographic copy cradle
Inventor: LANG CURT
IPC: G03B15/00
Filed: 1994-12-01
Abstract: A photographic copy cradle to support an object to be photographed. There is a platen to receive the object.

Patent CA-2141483-A1 (CA)
Title: Selective calling receiver for computing devices
Inventor: ONO HIROSHI
IPC: H04W84/02
Filed: 1995-01-31
Abstract: A selective calling receiver connectable to a computing device which is capable of reading or writing information particular to the receiver.  An external signal transmission device is provided independently of the computing device and sends an optical signal (code) to the receiver.  The receiver receives the optical signal with a light-sensitive section thereof and compares it with a code assigned to the receiver.  Only if the two codes are identical with each other, the receiver allows the computing device to access it.  Therefore, the information particular to the receiver cannot be written to or read out of the receiver without the external signal transmission device.  This prevents a person, simply obtained program software meant for the receiver, from writing or reading the particular information in or out of the receiver, thereby securing the receiver from improper use.

Patent CA-2157665-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STEEN HARALD
IPC: G01N21/47
Filed: 1994-03-16
Abstract: An optical configuration for flow cytometers which allows the sample stream, which carries the cells to be measured, to be excited in two separate foci of different wavelengths. The excitation light is focussed on the sample stream by a lens (5) which has its optical axis (14) and object plane (7) coinciding with that of another lens (16) situated opposite to it and which is collecting fluorescence and light scattering from said cells and forms fluorescence images of said sample stream in different image planes (19, 20 and 34) which are separated by dichroic mirrors (18, 33). Said lens (16) contains a field stop (17) which stops direct excitation, so that only fluorescence and scattered light reach said image planes (19, 20, 34). Behind said image plane (19), which contains scattered light from said cells, is a telescope (21) which makes an image of said field stop (17) in a plane (23). In said plane (23) are two concentric mirrors (24, 25) which isolate light of small and large scattering angle, respectively, and direct this light onto separate light detectors (30, 32). By means of dichroic mirrors and band filters different spectral components of the fluorescence separated and directed onto separate light detectors (44, 45, 46, 47). Slits (35, 36, 37) in the image planes (19, 20, 34) eliminate background light from the part of said object plane (7) which does not contain said sample flow.

Patent CA-2162190-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HUGHES ROBERT WATT
IPC: E04D3/361
Filed: 1995-11-06
Abstract: A roof panel attachment clip includes a bracket having an upper flange, and a sliding member which supports one or more tabs.  The sliding member and the bracket have alignable openings such as slots above a hole for receiving a bolt which connects the bracket to a purlin.  The openings are sized to receive the shaft of an installation tool, such as a socket wrench, and must be aligned in order to get the wrench proper-ly on the fastener.  The installer is thus assisted in center-ing the tabs in the slots as he connects the bracket to the purlin.  Once the tool is withdrawn, it is possible to slide the tabs out of position, but a biasing force between the sliding member and the bracket resists such movement.

Title: Cross-Talk Measurement Apparatus with Near-End Compensation
Inventor: BOTTMAN JEFFREY S
IPC: H04B3/46
Filed: 1995-11-20
Abstract: A pulse-based cable crosstalk measurement instrument  provides near-end cross talk (NEXT) information for characterizing the performance of local area network (LAN) cable systems. Accuracy of the cross-talk measurement is enhanced by measuring and mathematically removing the cross-talk effects of the near-end connector. Accuracy of the cross-talk measurement is further enhanced by conducting the cross-talk measurement with pulses of differing pulse widths selected to have increased pulse energy in frequency ranges of interest. A composite cross-talk response using the individual cross-talk responses of the individual pulse widths concatenated together is created and then compared with an industry-standard pass fail limit to provide a pass-fail decision on a LAN cable test system under test.
