Patent CA-2396932-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GHERNA JOHN F
IPC: D06F58/20
Filed: 2002-08-20
Abstract: A quicker, safer, more reliable and more convenient way of connecting a dryer to an exhaust pipe extending from a wall therebehind is disclosed. An apparatus to facilitate connection of a dryer having an vent pipe extending from a rear side portion thereof, to an exhaust pipe extending outwardly from a wall, comprises: a pan portion having a bottom side portion having a peripheral edge portion and a lateral sidewall connected around and extending away from the peripheral edge portion and an inner side of the bottom portion; said lateral sidewall adapted to laterally and resiliently compress; and, a short tubular section having one end portion adapted to fit losely together with the dryer vent pipe, and an opposite end portion extending through and connected to the outer aide of the bottom portion of the pan portion. A method of connecting a vent pipe on a dryer to an exhaust pipe in a wall comprises the following steps: providing a connection apparatus as described above; closely fitting the short tubular section around the dryer vent pipe; and, pushing the dryer rearwardly against the wall axially compressing the sidewall around the exhaust pipe therein.
Patent CA-2401806-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOGELEIN JOSEPH
IPC: F16H49/00
Filed: 2001-02-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a harmonic drive (12) which can be provided with overload protection that is easy to influence constructionally and a free-wheeling characteristic. To this end, the spokes (21) of the internal geared wheel (15) are specifically deformable depending on the torque or the direction of rotation. The spoke shafts (22) are divided crosswise to the drive axis (24) or in a radial direction in relation thereto. This division (45) is bridged over flexibly in the peripheral direction of the internal geared wheel so that the effective radial length of the spoke may be reduced in the presence of the appropriate bending stress by buckling the shaft, in order to then eliminate the local toothing contact between the internal geared wheel edges (13) and the outer support ring (11) in the extension of the spoke. The bridging of the spoke division can be configured differently for the two directions of rotation in order to obtain different response characteristics, up to direction-dependent free-wheeling characteristics e.g. in the event of a considerably unsymmetrical spoke shaft course in relation to the radials.

Title: Wing in ground effect vehicle with endplates
Inventor: ALLEN KEN R
IPC: B60V3/08
Filed: 2001-05-17
Abstract: A wing-in-ground effect vehicle has endplates (17) at the ends of wings (3).  These extend below fuselage (2) and are designed for constant submergence during flight over water. The nose of each endplate (17) is designed to generate a supercavity extending the length of endplate (17) at cruising speed. To facilitate lengthening of the supercavity at lower speeds, protruding ridges may be provided downstream from each nose. At least the re ar portions of endplates (17) are laterally displaceable (eg due to pivoting around a vertical axis) to avoid damage to endplates (17) by water pressure when the vehicle travels at a yaw angle. This "weathercocking" of endplates (17) aligns them with the water flow and allows them to be narrower.

Abstract: A balloon catheter capable of expanding a narrowed site of a blood vessel in the vicinity of a curved part of the blood vessel, and of easily adapting the shape of the balloon to the shape of the curved part of the blood vessel. The balloon has a shape with a curved part, and the outer portion of the curved part (the shaded area) formed so as to have a smaller film thickness as compared with the remaining portion of the balloon is stretched by an amount larger than the remaining portion of the balloon. The difference in stretch amount between the outer portion of the curved part of the balloon and the remaining portion of the balloon becomes larger as the internal pressure of the balloon is increased. Accordingly, the extent of curve of the balloon, can be controlled arbitrarily by controlling the internal pressure of the balloon.

Title: Fast roaming system
Inventor: KOBAYASHI YOSHIKAZU
IPC: H04W88/08
Filed: 2003-08-27
Abstract: A fast roaming system for changing, in a short period of time, the connection to a roaming destination AP (access point) providing a better communication environment, and for improving a roaming completion rate. In response to a search process performed by a mobile terminal, individual APs transmits AP data required for roaming directly to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal performs the passive scanning search or the active scanning search for the peripheral APs at short time intervals, and obtains and stores the latest AP data in an AP data table. As a result, only the latest data for the connectable peripheral AP can be stored as a roaming destination in the AP data table. Furthermore, since the order condition is set by the mobile terminal to select the roaming destination AP, there is a high probability that the roaming is completed when the peripheral AP is first selected. Therefore, only a short period of time is required until the roaming is completed.
