Title: Oscillator activated continuity testing switch
Inventor: OWEN ALLAN BRAD
IPC: G01R31/02
Filed: 2002-07-15
Granted: 2009-10-27
Abstract: A self timing test circuit switch powered by the same conductor as used to carry data may be used in vehicles where it is desirable to test and confirm the continuity of a critical circuit by illuminating for a brief period of time an indicator lamp after power-up of the vehicle. The switch may be used in sensor circuits where the sensor is a normally open switch and the normally open configuration can not otherwise be distinguished from an open circuit due to a wiring fault or a burned out bulb. Typical applications include checking the continuity of leads leading to metallic chip sensors in the engine and drive train oil or hydraulic fluid of aircraft engines.

Title: Method and system for propelling and controlling displacement of a microrobot in a blood vessel
Inventor: MARTEL SYLVAIN
IPC: A61B34/00
Filed: 2003-04-15
Granted: 2012-03-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for propelling and controlling displacement of a microrobot through a patient's blood vessel. The microrobot is formed with a body containing field-of-force responsive material wherein, in response to a field of force, the material undergoes a force in the direction of a gradient of the field of force. The microrobot is positioned in a blood vessel for displacement through the blood vessel, and a field of force with a given gradient is generated and applied to the microrobot in view of propelling the microrobot through the blood vessel in the direction of the gradient of the field of force. A direction and amplitude of the gradient of the field of force is calculated to thereby control displacement of the microrobot through the patient's blood vessel.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un coulisseau de câble de sauvetage (3) s'utilisant dans un équipement de sécurité en cas de chute comportant un alésage longitudinal (24) à travers lequel passe le câble de sauvetage (1). Ce câble de sauvetage (1) est supporté par des supports intermédiaires (2) possédant une section de support tubulaire (4) à travers laquelle passe le câble de sauvetage (1) supporté par un bras étroit (5). En vue de permettre le passage automatique du coulisseau (3) le long du câble de sauvetage (1) via les supports intermédiaires (2) l'alésage (24) est suffisamment grand afin de passer sur la section de support (4) du support intermédiaire (2) et le corps du coulisseau (3) est interrompu par une fente (25) reliée à l'alésage (24), cette fente (25) étant plus large que le bras (5) du support intermédiaire (2) mais plus étroit que le câble de sauvetage (1). Le coulisseau (3) possède un centre de gravité situé de sorte que celui-ci (3) se mette automatiquement en rotation autour du câble de sauvetage (1) du fait de la gravité dans une orientation dans laquelle la fente (25) est en ligne par rapport au bras (5). Le coulisseau (3) est relié à l'équipement de sécurité personnel en cas de chute par le biais d'une corde d'assujettissement souple reliée à une poignée de charge (23) sur le coulisseau (3). Cette poignée de charge (23) est reliée pivotante au coulisseau (3) de manière que celui-ci (3) puisse se mettre en rotation autour du câble de sauvetage (1) indépendamment des forces appliquées au coulisseau (3) par l'intermédiaire de la poignée de charge (23). En outre, le coulisseau (3) comporte des éléments de came (28) et le support intermédiaire (2) comporte des surfaces guides (12), les éléments de came (28) et les surfaces guides (12) étant disposés de sorte que si la fente (25) et le bras (5) ne sont pas orientés correctement, les éléments de came (28) et les surfaces de charge (12) coopèrent à mesure que le coulisseau (3) se déplace en direction du support intermédiaire (2) afin de mettre en rotation le coulisseau (3) autour du câble de sauvetage (1) jusqu'à ce que la fente (25) et le bras (5) soient correctement alignés.
