Patent CA-2321622-A1 (CA)
Title: A multi-mode endpoint in a communication network system and methods thereof
Inventor: RAVINDRANATH RAVI ANANT
IPC: H04M3/58
Filed: 2000-10-02
Abstract: A method, apparatus, and communication network system that allows an endpoint to be simultaneously registered with more than one communications server is described. In one embodiment, the communication network system includes a network, a plurality of communications servers that are coupled to the network, and a plurality of endpoints coupled to the network. Each endpoint is capable of being simultaneously registered with more than one communications server. A communication method for an endpoint involves registering a first logical line of the endpoint with a first communications server, and registering a second logical line of the endpoint with a second communications server.    Consequently, flexibility is obtained by allowing an endpoint to choose the registering communications server for each logical line of the endpoint.

Patent CA-2331241-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GALLUSSER DAVID OTIS
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 2001-01-17
Abstract: A termination arrangement for fiber optic cables includes a precision ceramic guide press fit into a sleeve on both the socket and pin termini. The precision ceramic guide of the socket terminus is extended through a bushing and alignment sleeve, and a compression spring is positioned between the bushing and a stepped washer secured in the connector so that the bushing, sleeve, and precision ceramic guide may all be moved relative to the stepped washer upon insertion of the ceramic guide of the pin terminus into the alignment sleeve. The length of each terminus is chosen so that any grommet on an environmentally sealed connector will always fall on a portion of the body which has the same diameter for each terminus so that one grommet can be used with a variety of different size cables. A rear section of both the pin and socket terminus bodies are stepped down to provide an area for the strength member of the fiber optic cable to be terminated to. By applying epoxy to the stepped down diameter of the rear bodies and the fiber optic cable jacketing, the strength member can be evenly distributed over the rear of the bodies and a shrink tube can be brought up over the outer jacketing of the fiber optic cable to the appropriate position and shrunk down in order to cure the epoxy, captivate the strength member, and seal the shrink tube to the fiber optic cable jacketing. The sleeve may alternatively be extended through the stepped washer and terminate in a threaded portion onto which the bushing may be threaded, the precision ceramic guide being press fit into the bushing rather than the sleeve so as to minimize the length of the hole that must be produced in the precision ceramic guide.

Title: Selective adherence of stent-graft coverings, mandrel and method of making stent-graft device
Inventor: EDWIN TARUN
IPC: A61F2/07
Filed: 1999-09-30
Abstract: A method for selectively bonding layers of polymeric material, especially expanded polyte-trafluoroethylene (ePTFE), to create endoluminal vascular devices. In a preferred method the se-lective bonding is achieved by applying pressure to selected areas using a textured mandrel. This permits a stent device to be encapsulated between two layers of ePTFE with unbonded slip pock-ets to accommodate movement of the structural members of the stent. This allows stent compres-sion with minimal force and promotes a low pro-file of the compressed device. Unbonded regions of ePTFE allow enhanced cellular penetration for rapid healing and can also contain a bioactive sub-stance that will diffuse through the ePTFE to treat the vessel wall.

Abstract: A card holder which permits the extraction of one or more cards from a stack of cards, which in its operating mode has no moving parts. The holder has an inventory control feature consisting of a calibrated compression device, which can be utilized to determine the quantity of cards remaining inside each compartment. The unit's housing consists of a top, base, back, fixed front, moveable front, bottom card support and first and second sides. A first part of the housing is selectively moveable between an open and closed position to permit the loading of cards into the plurality of interior vertical compartments. Below each vertical compartment is a bottom card support, which is positioned lower than and behind the front, into which a finger slot is cut under each compartment to facilitate card extraction. The lower fixed frontal member of the housing, adjacent each compartment enhances the structural integrity of the housing while maintaining the lowest group of cards in a stable position when the moveable front is in either the opened or closed position. Cards are removed from the holder by means of manually extracting the cards outward from the space between the fixed frontal member and the bottom card support.

Title: Vehicle light weight dead axle and method for forming same
Inventor: SIMON BRIAN A
IPC: B60B35/08
Filed: 2001-09-11
Abstract: A vehicle dead axle is formed of a hollow tube that extends substantially the width of the vehicle and has wheel supporting spindle portions welded upon the opposite ends of the tube. The exterior surface of the tube is generally circular in cross-section. The cross-sectional shape of the opening in the tube is asymmetrically curved relative to the central axis of the tube to form the tube into integral, longitudinally extending, circumferential wall segments of varying wall thicknesses. The axle is oriented so that its thicket wall segments receive the greater of anticipated forces imposed upon the axle during use. The axle is formed by placing a tubular blank within an open die having a die throat and pushing the blank through the die throat by means of a moving ram that engages and pushes against the end of the blank. The ram has an extension that is fitted within the blank as the ram pushes the blank through the space between the extension and the die throat. The extension is asymmetrically shaped in cross section relative to the axis of the throat so as to form the varying thickness circumferential wall segments.

Abstract: A floating rig or structure for drilling in the floor of an ocean using a rotatable tubular includes a seal housing having a rotatable seal connected above a marine riser fixed to the floor of the ocean. The seal rotating with the rotating tubular allows the riser and seal housing to maintain a predetermined pressure in the system that is desirable in underbalanced drilling, gas-liquid mud systems and pressurized mud handling systems. A flexible conduit or hose is used to compensate for the relative movement of the seal housing and the floating structure since the floating structure moves independent of the seal housing.
