Title: Power plug assembly
Inventor: UEMURA KAZUKI
IPC: H01R35/04
Filed: 2000-11-16
Abstract: In a power plug assembly which houses a plug 22 in such a manner as to be lifted up when required, the plug 22 is always biased in a direction to be housed due to a first resilient member 25. When the plug 22 is pivotally moved to some extent, first and second engagement parts 23, 31 are structured to engage with each other so that the plug 22 is retained in a state ready for plug-in to an AC outlet. When the plug 22 is pulled out from the AC outlet, a user may release the engagement parts 23, 31 so that the plug 22 is automatically housed in a space with the help of resilience of the first resilient member 25.

Inventor: NIEBERGALL JAMES ALBERT
IPC: B62D5/12
Filed: 2001-04-18
Abstract: A steering cylinder for a tractor with internal, adjustable steering stops that do not occupy packaging space beyond the cylinder itself. End caps of the cylinder, between the piston rod and the cylinder, serve as the stops. The end caps are threadably mounted in the cylinder to enable adjustment. The stops can be rotated relative to the cylinder to thread the stops in or out, thereby changing the stroke of the steering cylinder. Once the stops are set to the desired location, they are held in place by a retainer that is bolted to the cylinder. The retainers can be selectively removed from the cylinder and then used as a wrench to rotate the stops to adjust the cylinder stroke. Adjustment is needed when different wheel and tire combinations are mounted on the tractor or when the tread width is changed. A travel limiter is mounted to the cylinder to prevent complete withdrawal of the stops and the resulting loss of hydraulic oil.

Abstract: A process for producing a personalized postage stamp that begins with stamp blanks (22) containing only such required indicia (28) as denomination and country of origin. On the stamp blanks is printed a photographic image (30) so that the finished stamp consists of both the required indicia (28) and a personalized photograph (30). The personalized photograph (30) is printed on the stamp blank (22) with an ink-jet printer, thus the photographic image (30) must be converted to digital image data so that it can be sent to the printer.  This digital image data can be collected either by scanning a film negative or photograph or through the use of digital camera.

Title: Transport de donnees semi-fiable
Inventor: MCCANN BENJAMIN E
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1999-10-01
Abstract: Ce nouveau type de protocole de communication assure un transport de données semi-fiable sur un canal de données, sur l'Internet par exemple. Ce nouveau type de protocole limite le nombre de retransmissions de données non délivrées et peut finalement <= délaisser >= la délivrance menée à bonne fin de données particulières et envoyer des données subséquentes vers leur destination. Lorsqu'un protocole fiable de communication, par exemple TCP/IP est soumis à un effet tunnel entre deux ordinateurs sur une connexion virtuelle utilisant ce nouveau type de protocole semi-fiable, le traitement d'erreur global passant entre les deux ordinateurs met en jeu des éléments de traitement d'erreur implémentés tant par le protocole semi-fiable que par le protocole fiable. Ce traitement d'erreur global assure un débit de traitement supérieur à celui obtenu au moyen d'un protocole totalement fiable (TCP, par exemple) pour la connexion virtuelle ou au moyen d'un protocole totalement dépourvu de fiabilité (UDP, par exemple) pour la connexion virtuelle. Cet avantage est encore plus manifeste si le train de données est compressé ou chiffré avant de passer par la connexion virtuelle et ce, par utilisation d'une technique maintenant un état d'un paquet de données à un autre.

Patent CA-2354310-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLANCHARD DAVID L
IPC: G08B5/36
Filed: 2001-07-30
Abstract: A visual signaling device uses wide-dispersion LED elements of multiple colors mounted on a compact light board.      The light board on which the LEDs are mounted is positioned perpendicular to the axis of a cylindrical lens section of the device, and the wide-dispersion light from the LEDs is diffracted and diffused by the cylindrical lens section to provide a generally uniform output light distribution. A microprocessor-based control circuit received in the device housing is programmable to operate the LEDs to generate various lighting patterns and colors in response to external control signals. A variety of perceived output colors may be generated by sequentially operating LEDs of different colors at a sufficiently high rate to create a color mixing effect.      A unique "color triads" arrangement of LEDS of three different colors on the light board allows an even and symmetrical distribution the color LEDs, thereby providing enhanced blending of the outputs of the color LEDs.
