Patent CA-2332198-C (CA)
Title: Animal trap
Inventor: DECORBY GEORGE
IPC: A01M23/16
Filed: 2001-01-24
Granted: 2007-11-06
Abstract: An animal trap comprises a base and a cage having an open bottom generally cooperating with and resting on the base when in a closed position to form an enclosure. A lower front edge of the cage is pivotally attached to the front edge of the base such that a rear end of the cage may be raised with respect to the base to an open position. A latch is operable to maintain the cage in the open position or the closed position, and a trigger is located in proximity to the center of the front end of the enclosure and is operable to release the latch and allow the cage to fall from the open position to the closed position when the trigger is moved in a forward or rear ward direction, or alternately in any direction.

Title: Plant tray and cultivation system provided with such a plant tray
Inventor: SMAK PIETER WILHELMUS JOHANNES
IPC: A01G9/10
Filed: 1999-06-30
Granted: 2007-11-06
Abstract: Plant tray consisting of a plastic body in which a number of accommodations have been made. Viewed in the use position, said accommodations are open both at the bottom and at the top. The plant is inserted at the top and roots, which optionally can be brought into contact with water, are able to develop through the bottom. So as to be able to remove the plant easily and to prevent the roots growing together into a solid mass, it is proposed to construct the boundary of the opening at the bottom in the form of a cutting edge. Clamping means, such as plates extending into the accommodations, can be provided for clamping plants such as bulbs. These plates, and in particular the part that comes into contact with the bulbs, can be made sharp.

Patent CA-2344743-C (CA)
Inventor: JEFFERY ROSS A
IPC: H04M11/06
Filed: 2001-04-20
Granted: 2011-12-06
Abstract: A point-to-multipoint communications network connecting multiple subscribers to a single communications line at the service provider distribution equipment, for example in a DSL communications system. A plurality of subscriber communications interfaces are connected in parallel to form a local group in which, at any particular point in time, only one communications interface serves as a master communications interface and the other communications interfaces serve as slaves. Each communications interface may be capable of serving as the master communications interface according to a demand division multiplexing technique, which assigns master status based on upstream data demands. As a communications interface is switched to master status, the communications interface previously holding master status out of the other serially connected communications interfaces is switched back to slave status, capable of receiving downloaded data from the DSL distributor and uploading data packets to the master communications interface. A plurality of communications interfaces can thus be connected to a single communications port without increasing the upstream transmission bandwidth requirements. At the service provider, multiple network modems can each be designed to communicate at a different frequency, either fixed or variable, and thus assigned to single port, with each network modem communicating at a frequency separated from the frequencies of the other network modems, to substantially increase the bandwidth of the transmission medium. The allocation of frequencies can be controlled dynamically by a microprocessor, based on any desired factors and/or bit error rate testing

Patent CA-2348626-C (CA)
Inventor: LACONTE RICHARD J
IPC: E05B65/00
Filed: 1999-11-24
Granted: 2004-11-09
Abstract: A quick release and fastening panel assembly includes a panel that covers a structural opening and is securely fastened to the structure surrounding the opening by a release and locking assembly. The release and locking assembly includes an actuator screw that when rotated by a tool, causes a driver element to move four actuating arms, that are pivotally connected to the driver element and to respective locking mechanisms located at each edge of the panel. This movement of the actuating arms causes a pair of locking tongs in each of the locking mechanisms to engage opposing channel receptacles that are located along the edges of the panel and along the edges of the structural opening. When the locking tongs are locked in position, any loads from the structure are transmitted through the locking tongs to the panel.

Granted: 2004-07-13
Abstract: Disclosed is a twine cutting assembly for a rotary drum type bale processor. The twine cutting assembly comprises a twine cutter and a locking mechanism. The twine cutter, comprising a handle and a cutting member, extends through a hole in the side wall of the bale processor. The cutting member is moved axially along the surface of the rotary drum in a guide channel. The cutting member has a cutting blade which engages with and cuts any twine wrapped around the rotary drum as the cutting member is moved along the surface of the rotary drum. A locking mechanism including a stop member connected to a handle is positioned within a frame mounted on the exterior of the end wall of the bale processor. The stop is moved between a locked position and an unlocked position by movement of the handle. In the locked position, the stop member extends through a hole in the end wall and engages with the rotary drum thereby preventing rotation of the rotary drum. In this position, the guide channel is positioned relative to the hole in the end wall of the bale processor such that when the cutting member is inserted through the hole, the cutting member is positioned within the guide channel. In the unlocked position, the stop member disengages with the rotary drum thereby permitting the rotation thereof.

Title: Improved prosthetic stem with strengthening rib
Inventor: GILLILAND TRACY R
IPC: A61L27/00
Filed: 2002-02-12
Granted: 2009-09-08
Abstract: The present invention provides an improved prosthetic stem for implantation in a bone. Specifically, the present invention provides a prosthetic femoral stem having a strengthening rib protruding from the substrate thereof and being flush with a porous coating formed thereon. The strengthening, rib is advantageously positioned so as to increase the cross-sectional moment of inertia of the prosthetic femoral stem and thereby decrease the stress on the anterio-lateral surface of the femoral stem. A protrusion in accordance with the present invention may also be utilized with a prosthetic femoral stem absent a porous coating. In such an embodiment, the height of the protrusion is such that the protrusion will be surrounded by the cement mantle formed when the prosthetic femoral component is cemented in a femoral canal.
