Patent CA-2185884-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WARD BENNIE R
IPC: B32B15/01
Filed: 1995-03-29
Abstract: A method of making twin roll cast clad material (17) includes producing a composite material using a liner stock produced by drag casting techniques. The drag cast liner stock (7) can be directly used in a twin roll continuous casting process (5) without additional process steps such as heat treatment, surface cleaning and/or rolling. The drag cast liner stock (7) can be applied to one or both of the surfaces of the twin roll cast material (5) to produce a composite material (17) that is useful in a cast form or can be adapted for reduction by rolling processes or the like. The twin roll cast cladding process can utilize aluminum alloy core and cladding materials to form a brazing sheet from the as-cast composite material. The figure shows the production of twin roll cast clad material (17).

Title: Plasma gasification and vitrification of ashes
Inventor: TSANTRIZOS PETER G
IPC: C10J3/18
Filed: 1996-10-21
Abstract: This invention discloses a method and an apparatus for gasification and vitrification of ashes, such as produced in a hog-fuel fired boiler, by means of a plasma arc. The ashes are introduced into a shaft furnace where two or three tiltable electrodes are located. The plasma arc is ignited between these electrodes which are then tilted from a horizontal to an essentially vertical position whereby the arc is lengthened and then broken into separate arcs, one between each electrode and the slag accumulated at the bottom of the furnace. This plasma arc helps to burn off the organics in the ashes, producing combustion gases that can be used as a source of energy for the boiler, and to keep the slag in molten state, which allows its periodic removal through a tap hole.

Title: Method of mapping destination addresses for use in calculating digital tokens
Inventor: LEE DAVID K
IPC: G07B17/00
Filed: 1996-12-16
Abstract: A method of creating an open system digital token includes sending predetermined information to a digital token generation process. A set of characters are randomly selected from the predetermined information. A mapping algorithm is applied to the selected characters to facilitate a character recognition process and a random number algorithm is applied to the mapped selected characters to obtain a random number. A digital token is calculated using the random number. The predetermined information may be delivery address information in the form of an ASCII string which is reduced by eliminating certain non-alphanumeric characters from the ASCII string. Certain characters can be modified to facilitate OCR processing. A plurality of characters are randomly selected from the reduced ASCII string to determine random positions in the reduced ASCII string. The ASCII code of the selected characters are mapped to the code of a reduced space using a mapping table. The mapped delivery address information is included in a digital token calculation of the digital token generation process.

Title: Methods for verification of routing table information
Inventor: GLITHO ROCH
IPC: H04L69/14
Filed: 1995-11-09
Abstract: There is disclosed a method for auditing routing information in a packet switching network (10). One method involves utilizing the telecommunications management network (51) to sample through a general purpose management interface (Q3) routing table information at live nodes (12-22) in the operating network for a test message sent from a test initiator node to a final destination node through intermediate nodes. The telecommunications management network subsequently runs verification tests on the collected routing table information apart form the packet switching network. This method has the advantage that the verification test is not run on the network while still testing actual "live" table routing information. Advantageously, this method tests actual routing information without overloading the network with additional routing requests provided by the test. Moreover, this method does not induce any load on the network. Further, this method uses data collected in real time from the network.
