Patent CA-2259379-A1 (CA)
Title: Procede et appareil pour detecter des pertes d'amplitude dans des impulsions de stimulation cardiaque
Inventor: PAUL PATRICK J
IPC: A61N1/37
Filed: 1997-09-16
Abstract: Cet appareil, qui sert à détecter les pertes d'amplitude dans des impulsions de stimulation cardiaque, comprend un comparateur qui compare la tension d'impulsion effective avec une tension de référence. Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux de cette invention, la tension de référence est déterminée comme un pourcentage de l'amplitude d'impulsion programmée. La comparaison de la tension de référence et de la tension effective est verrouillée au moment où une impulsion est effectivement créée, pour produire un signal indiquant si l'amplitude de l'impulsion effective dépasse la référence. Lorsque cette amplitude tombe au-dessous de la référence, le système peut entreprendre une action correctrice.
Patent CA-2259693-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MICHOTTE JACQUES
IPC: C21D1/667
Filed: 1997-07-01
Abstract: The invention discloses a method for temper-hardening flat metal products, comprising the following steps: introducing a flat product (31) coming out of the furnace into a temper-hardening bay, depositing this flat product (31) on supporting elements forming a lower substantially horizontal supporting table (5), causing a sudden cooling of the flat product (31) in the deposited position, by spraying a temper-hardening liquid simultaneously on the whole of its upper surface and on the whole of its lower surface, removing the flat product (31) from the temper-hardening bay, and further, before the sudden cooling, transferring staying elements forming together a substantially horizontal staying table (9) to a horizontal staying plane located at a predetermined distance above the upper surface of the flat product (31) and, during the sudden cooling, optionally staying the flat product on the upper staying table (9), within the limits imposed by the said horizontal plane. The invention also discloses a device for implementing this method.

Patent CA-2269840-A1 (CA)
Title: Assays and probes with enzyme labels
Inventor: FISHER MARK
IPC: G01N33/535
Filed: 1997-10-29
Abstract: Probes comprise S1 and P1 nuclease (as an enzyme label) linked to a specific binding member such as a nucleotide sequence or an antibody. Such probes are useful for sandwich assays. As compared with known probes using alkaline phosphatase as a label, advantages include relative insensitivity to phosphate and elevated temperature and reduced risk of nonspecific binding.
Patent CA-2270321-A1 (CA)
Title: Radio receiver with location control programming
Inventor: MCLELLAN SCOTT WAYNE
IPC: H04H20/00
Filed: 1999-04-28
Abstract: A radio receiver is disclosed that utilizes location-determining information (using GPS, for example) in conjunction with a database of radio formats and frequencies to maintain a consistent "radio format" as the receiver travels across several different geographic regions. The receiver may be used in a car and is thus capable of maintaining the same radio station format (e.g., "Top 40") as the car is driven long distances.
Patent CA-2271057-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GIROUX MICHEL
IPC: H01R13/70
Filed: 1999-05-11
Abstract: La prise de courant sécuritaire est de type murale. Peut être utiliser dans toutes les constructions existantes et dans la construction des futures bâtisses. D'allure externe semblable aux prises de courants murales conventionnelles le mécanisme interne de fonctionnement est très différent. Pour avoir accès au courant électrique il faut y introduire une fiche mâle à trois contacts, et la tourner vers la droite. Si la prise n'est pas tourner il n'y aura pas de contact électrique. De plus il est impossible de retirer la fiche mâle sans le retour au point neutre de la prise de courent en la tournant vers la gauche, un mécanisme spécial retient la fiche mâle en place pendant l'utilisation de la prise de courant. Ce qui veut dire que lorsque la prise de courant sécuritaire est sans utilisation on ne peut avoir accès au courant électrique directement par une simple introduction d'objet métallique dans les orifices de la prise de courant sécuritaire. Donc totalement sécuritaire pour les enfants en bas âge attirés par les prises de courants qui sont à leurs portés visuels et à la proter de leurs mains.

Patent CA-2275410-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COMER EDWARD IRBY
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 1997-10-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système pour communiquer des messages ou des appels multiples par l'intermédiaire d'un canal de commande avant (FOCC) faisant partie d'un canal de commande d'un réseau cellulaire vers un dispositif récepteur compatible avec les cellules et pour combiner les données obtenues de chaque appel reçu pour former un message groupé comprenant une séquence de données. Le dispositif de communication cellulaire opérant dans un état normal répond à un appel reçu par le canal FOCC, en comparant l'appel reçu avec un ou plusieurs masques conservés en mémoire. Quand l'appel reçu contient une caractéristique prédéterminée correspondant à un masque conservé par le dispositif récepteur, il réagit en passant de l'état normal à un état d'identification du dispositif récepteur. Dans l'état d'identification du dispositif récepteur, le dispositif de communication cellulaire surveille le canal FOCC pour déceler un appel ayant un identificateur spécial attribué à ce dispositif. Chaque appel reçu est comparé à un masque correspondant à l'identificateur spécial et conservé dans la mémoire du dispositif choisi. En réponse à cette correspondance, le dispositif de communication cellulaire passe de l'état d'identification du dispositif récepteur à l'état de réception des données et surveille le canal FOCC pour identifier des appels contenant des commandes. Dans l'état de réception des données, le dispositif de communication cellulaire peut répondre à des appels contenant des commandes en acceptant les valeurs des données pour chaque appel de commande reçu et en combinant les valeurs des données pour former une séquence de données.

IPC: B29C45/72
Filed: 1999-08-17
Abstract: Preforms are produced by injection molding in an injection molding machine, allowing enough pre-cooling time within the mold to create a temporary rigid skin on the preforms, and transporting the preforms to a separate cooling device. In the preferred embodiment, the step of transporting the preforms to a separate cooling device includes the steps of removing the preforms into a carrier mounted as an end-of arm tool on a robot, the carrier having a plurality of orifices to receive the preforms, and using the robot to transport the carrier and the preforms to a cooling device interface.  The cooling device interface has a plurality of hoses connected thereto for pneumatically transporting the preforms from the carrier to the cooling device. The preferred apparatus thus includes a robot, and an end-of-arm tool for the robot having a plurality of orifices alignable with mold cavities in the injection molding machine once the mold halves are opened. The orifices receive the preforms once cooled sufficiently in the mold to create a temporary rigid skin. A separate preform cooling device is configured to receive preforms from the orifices when the end-of-arm tool is transported to the cooling device by the robot. Preferably, there is an interface unit having a plate with a plurality of openings alignable with the orifices and having a plurality of hoses connected one to each opening to pneumatically transport the preforms from the orifices, through the openings and the tubes, to cooling tubes in the cooling device.

Patent CA-2289298-A1 (CA)
Title: Digit splint device and method of use
Inventor: BELKIN JULIE
IPC: A61F5/058
Filed: 1999-11-10
Abstract: A digit splint is defined by an arcuate angularly inclined base and an ovoid which extends upwardly and radially outward from the base. The base is positioned on the palmar side of a joint of a digit and the ovoid conforms to the dorsum of a digit when the digit is in an extended position without hyperextension. The ovoid has two substantially parallel sides which, when worn, conform to impinge on the sides of the joint of a digit at the axis to provide lateral stability at the joint of a digit and to prevent migration of the splint on a digit. The splint also prevents hyperextension of the joint of a digit. In an alternate configuration, the splint may be rotated 180 degrees about the horizontal axis on a joint of a finger. In this configuration, the splint provides lateral stability at a joint of a digit and corrects flexion at a joint of a digit.
