Patent CA-2297627-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OLECKO RAY
IPC: A01M23/34
Filed: 2000-02-03
Abstract: A cable trap for trapping animals is provided having a pair of arms coupled at one end by a coil spring for biasing the free ends of the arms apart. A slide is mounted on a first one of the arms for sliding movement thereon and for coupling the arms together as the trap is being set. The slide member includes a hook for securing a loop of cable thereto. In the armed position, a trigger mechanism holds the arms in a substantially parallel orientation with the slide member adjacent the corresponding free end. The loop of cable is inserted through a receiving eye in a free end of a second one of the arms such that an animal engaging portion of the loop extends past a bottom side of the eye. Releasing the trigger mechanism causes the coil spring to force the arms apart such that the slide member is displaced towards a coupled end of the arm for drawing the cable through the receiving eye such that the engaging portion of the loop of cable is reduced in size quickly and with sufficient force to kill a target animal caught therein in a quick and humane manner.

Patent CA-2307358-A1 (CA)
Title: Capteur de position exacte et dispositif de communication pour vehicules sur sites propres guides
Inventor: CLARK TRACY M
IPC: G08G1/00
Filed: 1998-10-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés, appareils et systèmes relatifs à des sites propres guidés et destinés à suivre et détecter des objets et à communiquer avec ces objets, tels que des véhicules sur pistes et routes, ainsi que des stations intermédiaires associées. Le système en question comporte un enroulement, un émetteur et un récepteur. L'enroulement est constitué de deux conducteurs à déphasage reliés de manière à former un ou plusieurs chemins de courant fermés. Ces conducteurs à déphasage sont des éléments (tels que des fils métalliques) formés et conçus de façon à présenter des motifs à répétitions périodiques, du type dents de scie, sinusoïdes ou ondes carrées. L'émetteur applique à au moins un des conducteurs à déphasage un signal de détection de position qui possède une enveloppe qui varie comme une fonction périodique d'une première position le long de l'enroulement (ou par rapport à ce dernier). Le capteur, qui est disposé en une seconde position le long de l'enroulement, détecte les signaux de détection de position sur l'enroulement et génère un signal indiquant la distance entre la première et la seconde position. Ce signal de distance est une fonction, et spécifiquement une superposition, des signaux de détection de position transportés par les multiples conducteurs à déphasage en seconde position. L'invention se rapporte à un appareil et à des procédés associés qui permettent la communication entre les objets le long de l'enroulement.

Patent CA-2312499-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SATO KOUKI
IPC: H04B10/079
Filed: 2000-06-27
Abstract: An approach for performing fault recovery in an optical communications network is disclosed. An optical switch is connected to working optical fibers and protection optical fibers, which carry WDM (wave division multiplexing) optical signals. The optical switches possess functionality to switch over the optical signals among the working optical fibers and the protection optical fibers. The optical switch includes dual unit optical switches that have a common driving mechanism. The common driving mechanism is configured to perform simultaneously switching operation of the unit optical switches to alter a switching state of the optical switch. Monitoring devices are distributed throughout the node to monitor the transmitted optical signals over the optical fibers, and to output monitoring signals that indicate one or more faults in these optical fibers. In response to the monitoring signals, a control device outputs control signals to the optical switches to effect an optical protection scheme.

Patent CA-2314415-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SULLIVAN MICHAEL G
IPC: F01C21/10
Filed: 2000-07-25
Abstract: A positive displacement pump and thrust bearing assembly having a housing defining an internal fluid chamber having front and rear inner walls. A rotor having a front face and a rear face is positioned in the fluid chamber. Each of the faces of the rotor is spaced apart from a corresponding inner wall of the fluid chamber to define predetermined clearances therebetween. A shaft is connected at a first end to the rotor to effect rotation thereof. The shaft extends through a bore in the housing.  The thrust bearing assembly includes an adjusting collar and a thrust bushing. The adjusting collar is attachable to the shaft and includes a central bore through which the shaft extends. The thrust bushing is secured within the bore of the housing by a locking ring that prevents longitudinal movement of the thrust bushing toward the fluid chamber. The adjusting collar is rotatable with the shaft and is in relative rotatable engagement with the thrust bushing. The adjusting collar and the thrust bushing prevent movement of the shaft and the rotor in a direction away from the adjusting sleeve and toward the rear inner wall of the fluid chamber such that the predetermined clearances between the faces of the rotor and the internal walls of the housing are substantially uniformly maintained as the rotor rotates.

Title: Process for the preparation of (-)cis-3-hydroxy-1-methyl-4-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)piperidine
Inventor: MICHALOWSKY JURGEN
IPC: C07D405/04
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing (-)cis-3-hydroxy-1-methyl-4-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)-piperidine characterised in that 1-methyl-piperidine-4-one is converted into hydrobromide, subsequently transformed with bromine into 3(R.S)-bromine-1-methyl-4-oxo-piperidine-hydrobromide and reacted with 1.3,5-trimethoxybenzol to form 3(R,S)-bromine-1-methyl-4-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-pyridine-hydrobromide. By stirring the reaction solution into an organic solvent, 3(R,S)-bromine-1-methyl-4-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-pyridine-hydrobromide is initially isolated as a solid and subsequently the product is mixed with water and converted into 3(R,S)-hydroxy-1-methyl-4-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-pyridine by means of stirring. The product thus prepared is catalytically hydrogenated into a racemic 3,4-cis-alcahol and subsequently, enantiomerically pure (-)cis-3-hydroxy-1-methyl-4-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)-piperidine is obtained by separation of racemic mixtures with chiral auxiliary reagents from racemic 3,4-cis alcohol.

Title: Porte-avions et procedes de fonctionnement associes
Inventor: SEYFANG GEORGE REGINALD
IPC: B64F1/00
Filed: 1999-11-05
Abstract: L'invention concerne un porte-avions (10) comprenant un déflecteur tel qu'un aileron (14), une structure gonflable (26) ou un rideau de jet d'air (28) permettant à l'air circulant le long de la plate-forme d'appontage d'être soumis à une composante ascendante de vitesse, créant ainsi un courant d'air ascendant dans la traînée derrière le porte-avions. Le courant d'air ascendant persiste sur une distance raisonnable en aval du porte-avions, ce qui signifie que, pour une altitude spatiale donnée, l'angle d'attaque de l'avion par rapport au flux d'air est accru. En d'autres termes, l'avion peut voler à un angle d'attaque relativement élevé par rapport au flux d'air sur l'approche, sans que la visibilité de la plate-forme d'appontage soit entravée. De plus, l'angle d'attaque accru peut être utilisé pour faciliter une manoeuvre d'arrondi.
