Patent CA-2285068-A1 (CA)
Title: Composite elastomeric spring
Inventor: ANDERSON DAVID G
IPC: F16F3/087
Filed: 1998-03-17
Abstract: A composite elastomeric spring having a predetermined final shape and including a first member of elastomeric material having a first durometer hardness, and a second member of elastomeric material having a second durometer hardness is disclosed. The second member has a predetermined initial shape complimentary to an initial shape of the first member. The second member is positioned adjacent and in circumferential surrounding relation relative to the first member to define a preform composite spring member. After the second member is positioned about the first member, a force is applied to the preform composite spring member sufficient to simultaneously compress the first member and the second member thereby permanently changing the initial shapes of the first member and second members such that the first and second members are thereafter maintained in captured relationship relative to each other. The force is then removed from and thereby allowing the preform composite spring to transmute to the final shape of the composite elastomeric spring.

Title: Latch holdback mechanism for a mortise lock
Inventor: BABINSKI ROBERT A
IPC: E05B55/00
Filed: 1999-12-06
Abstract: A holdback dog for a mortise lock including a holdback dog slidably mounted to a tab on the mortise lock locking link. The holdback dog is activated by first retracting the latchbolt using the inside handle and then unlocking the lock using either the key cylinder or the inside thumb-turn. When the lock is unlocked, the locking link moves downward, placing a tab on the holdback dog slide in confronting engagement with a corresponding tab on the bolt slide. After the inside handle is released, the holdback dog tab holds the bolt slide, and therefor the latchbolt, in the retracted or "dogged" position. For normal or "un-dogged" operation, the slidable mounting of the holdback slide allows the bolt slide tab to engage the holdback dog tab and push the holdback dog slide out of the way, when the lock is unlocked and either handle is operated, thereby permitting normal operation.

Patent CA-2319733-A1 (CA)
Title: Switching power circuit
Inventor: YASUMURA MASAYUKI
IPC: H02M3/335
Filed: 2000-09-15
Abstract: A switching power circuit having a power factor improving circuit for a composite resonance type converter, wherein a switching pulse is fed back from a tertiary winding, which is coiled around an insulating converter transformer, via a series resonance capacitor.  And a rectified current is turned on and off by a fast recovery diode in accordance with the feedback output, hence achieving power factor improvement. In this structure, a smoothing capacitor is charged with the resonance current even during an off-period of the fast recovery diode due to the resonance of a series resonance circuit including the series resonance capacitor. This circuit configuration eliminates the necessity of selection of a higher withstand voltage relative to the primary-side smoothing capacitor by suppressing rise of the DC input voltage in a no-load state.
