Publication number: 20140026343Abstract: A paint roller comprising: a frame; a roller cage assembly rotatably mounted to the frame; and a roller cover removably mountable to the roller cage assembly, the roller cover defining a roller cover passageway. The roller cage assembly includes a hub for mounting the roller cover thereonto, the hub defining a hub outermost surface insertable in the roller cover passageway and a locking mechanism for selectively locking the roller cover, the locking mechanism including a locking element movable between a locking position and a releasing position, the locking element defining a protruding portion. In the locking position, the protruding portion protrudes from the hub outermost surface. In the releasing position, the protruding portion is retracted inwardly relative to the hub outermost surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2013Publication date: January 30, 2014Inventor: Daniel Perreault

Publication number: 20130257744Abstract: A piezoelectric tactile input device and method in a computing environment. An embodiment disclosed herein includes a touch screen having a piezoelectric material layer that may generate a voltage when deformed in a localized area. The piezoelectric layer may also include a pattern of sensors for detecting the voltage generated. The detected voltage signals may then be used to extrapolate the position of the localized area in which the piezoelectric layer was deformed (e.g., from a finger touch or a stylus). Further, because the piezoelectric layer generates a greater voltage in the presence of a greater pressure, the device may further decipher a relative level of force for the tactile input on the touch screen.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2012Publication date: October 3, 2013Applicant: INTERMEC TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Hamoon Ghasemzadeh Daghigh, Daniel Perreault

Patent number: 7820937Abstract: A process and apparatus is provided for forming a fusion bond between two materials. The process begins by forming a bond site by positioning a portion of a first body with respect to a portion of a second body. The first and second bodies may be components of a medical device such as a catheter, for example. At least one collimated beam of electromagnetic energy is generated and directed onto portions of the first and second bodies within the bond site so that at least one fusion zone having an increased temperature is formed.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2004Date of Patent: October 26, 2010Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Perreault, Kristi Flury, Roger McGowan

Publication number: 20100044372Abstract: A portable and collapsible isolator is taught for containing radioactive, chemical or biological agents. The isolator is comprised of a collapsible frame, movable between a collapsed transport position and an open operational position, and a flexible and collapsible envelope in the form of an airtight bag attached to the frame to define a cavity. The envelope remains airtight in both the collapsed and open positions. One or more sealable openings are formed in the envelope for insertion and removal of the radioactive, chemical and biological agents into and out of the cavity. The isolator may optionally include at least one glove extending from one or more of said sealable openings into the cavity, for handling said radioactive, chemical and biological agents inside the cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2008Publication date: February 25, 2010Applicant: Her Majesty The Queen in Right of Canada as Represented by the Minister of Public SafetyInventors: Bill Kournikakis, Tim Patraboy, Daniel Perreault, James Peeke, Carl McDiarmid, Ian Summerell, Andrew Burczyk, Marianne Heisz, Pierre Caron, Sylvain Poirier
