Patent CA-2216216-A1 (CA)
Title: Emergency self evacuation system
Inventor: RODLER KENT ERWIN BERNARD
IPC: A62B1/14
Filed: 1997-11-18
Abstract: This invention relates to a rapidly deployable personal escape system that allows a person to evacuate a burning or otherwise incapacitated multistory building or structure. This invention consists of a mounting plate or pin for fastening one end of the descent line, an appropriate length of galvanized or stainless steel cable cored, Nomex clad descent line affixed to the mounting point, an aluminum friction descending device through which the descender line runs in order to provide a controllable and acceptable rate of descent, a body supporting full-body harness constructed of heat resistant Kevlar and Nomex aramid fibre material and designed for complete body support, even in the event of a subject's inversion during operation. Said harness connects to the descending device by means of a metal connecting D-ring clamp or a caribiner fastening device as used by mountaineers, thus securing the evacuee's suspended body to the escape system, and a descent line carrying friction spool contained in a hard shell cartridge style spool encasement which is in turn placed into a fire-resistant container bag which attaches to the back of the full-body harness. Said variety of descent line container will be determined by the length of descent line appropriately required. The descent line will slip at a controlled rate through the cylinder gates of the descender friction-brake device, with a continual engagement of fresh descent line being advanced as is required by the downward progress of the evacuee.

Title: Article comprising two elements articulated relative to one another
Inventor: LEVERGER ERIC
IPC: B60N3/02
Filed: 1998-03-13
Abstract: An article includes an articulation pin (4) engaged in first and second elements (2, 3A), to secure the same together, with a tongue and groove respectively formed in the elements and pin to prevent relative rotation. A  blocking arrangement fixes the second element and the pin to prevent relative rotation when they are in a predefined relative axial and angular position. The first and second elements (2, 3A) and also the pin (4) cooperate so that the application of a force between the first elements (2) and the second element (3A) at least equal to a predetermined threshold, when the pin (4) and the second element (3A) are in the predefined relative axial and angular position, produces a relative axial movement between the pin and the second element, freeing the blocking arrangement so that the pin is free to rotate in the second element.

IPC: E05B55/00
Filed: 1997-02-11
Abstract: A latch assembly (1) of the kind having a latch bolt (3) which is mounted on a casing (S) for relative movement between an extended latching position and a retracted release position. The bolt is movable into the release position by operation of either one of two actuators (9, 12) which are accessible at inner and outer sides respectively of the latch assembly. The inner actuator includes a turn-knob or handle (9), and locking means (13, 14) associated with that actuator is operable to prevent operation of the inner actuator and thereby prevent retraction of the latch bolt (3) from the inner side of the assembly. The assembly includes lock release means (17) which responds to operation of the outer actuator (12) so as to deactivate the locking means (13, 14) and thereby release the inner actuator for normal operation. The locking means includes a spring loaded cam (22) which influences the position of at least one detent (18) and which is held in a locking means active position by retaining means (31) which is responsive to operation of the outer actuator. That response involves the retaining means releasing its influence on the cam member so that it can be driven under the influence of the associated spring (30) into a locking means inactive position.

Title: Laser opto-acoustic imaging system
Inventor: JACQUES STEVEN L
IPC: A61B8/08
Filed: 1997-01-31
Abstract: The present invention provides a system and principles of laser photo-acoustic imaging and tomography. The basis for laser photo-acoustic tomography is the time resolved detection of laser induced transient stress waves, selectively generated in absorbing tissues of diagnostic interest. Such a technique allows to visualize absorbed light distribution in turbid biological tissues irradiated by short laser pulses. Laser photo-acoustic tomography can be used for detection of tissue pathological changes that result in increased concentration of various tissue chromophore such as hemoglobin or development of enhanced micro-circulation in diseased tissue. The invented technology combines the advantages of pulsed laser excitation with time resolved detection of acoustic transients. The invented technology can be used for determination of optical heterogeneities in biological tissues. These heterogeneities include blood vessels, tissue layers, abnormal tissues and damaged tissues with further reconstruction of 3D tomographic images of human organs or portions thereof.

Patent CA-2249868-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHUAH MOOI CHOO
IPC: H04J4/00
Filed: 1998-10-08
Abstract: The power level for uplink data transmission in a wireless communications network utilizing an on-demand multiple access method with a fair queuing service discipline (ODMAFQ) for efficient utilization of the limited bandwidth available in the wireless network is established during the initial access request message. The power level in a wireless network having a base station and several remote hosts is established by first transmitting a short connection request message to the base station from one of the remote hosts at an initial power level that is set relative to the nominal open loop power level. If the first remote host's transmission is unsuccessful, the power level is incremented by a power increment amount that may be predetermined, and the steps of transmitting and incrementing are repeated until the transmission from remote host to base station is successful. Finally, the power level at which transmission is successful is stored and used for further data transmission between that particular remote host and the wireless network base station.
