Patent CA-2147601-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DONAGHUE NORMAN J JR
IPC: H04M3/51
Filed: 1993-04-07
Abstract: A system and method for sharing a pool of agents (24, 26, 34) in a telephone call servicing operation so that agents are utilized effectively. The telephones of a pool of agents are coupled to a number of dedicated inbound communication lines (14) through an automatic call distributor (ACD) (18). The telephones of another pool of agents is coupled to a number of dedicated outbound communication lines (16) through an outbound dialer (30). The outbound agent telephones may be directly coupled to the outbound dialer, or may be coupled to the outbound dialer through the ACD. Alternatively, the agents may be in a single pool and all be available for servicing inbound and outbound calls. Agents are acquired from inbound call servicing to service outbound calls when the agent response indicator for inbound calls is below a predetermined threshold. Agents are acquired for outbound calling by placing an internal call from the outbound dialer through the ACD to an agent. An acquired agent is released by terminating the internal call, not the individual outbound calls handled by the acquired agent.

Title: Printing Group Cylinder of a Web-Fed Rotary Printing Machine
Inventor: KNAUER PETER
IPC: B41F13/28
Filed: 1995-05-02
Abstract: A printing group cylinder of a web-fed rotary printing machine is mounted by its journals on opposed side walls of the machine. A sleeve positioned on or about the cylinder may be slipped on or off of the cylinder through an opening in the side wall. During operation, the opening in the side wall is closed by placing a pair of sliding gates in their closed position. When it is desired to change the sleeve, the opening in the side wall is uncovered by displacing the sliding gates. In order to obtain good print quality, the bearing is formed of multiple interengaging rings, of which at least one is eccentrically shaped. The eccentric shape of the ring causes the axis of the printing group cylinder to move into either a print engagement or disengagement setting when the ring is slidably rotated. The eccentric ring is secured against turning when the sliding gates are opened.

Title: Data Rate Conversion
Inventor: WISE ADRIAN PHILIP
IPC: H04N7/01
Filed: 1995-08-22
Abstract: A method for converting frame data at a slower rate into field data at a faster rate in a video decoder comprises determining a basic field repetition rate such that a field is repeated an integer number of times in a frame period, calculating a ratio differential of the repetition rate by subtracting from the speed-up ratio of the faster to the slower rate, the ratio of the fields per frame period to the slower rate, comparing the ratio differential with the differential of the field repetition rate and adding or subtracting extra fields when the two are substantially at variance.

Title: A method of applying a thermal barrier coating to a superalloy article and a thermal barrier coating
Inventor: RICKERBY DAVID STAFFORD
IPC: F01D5/28
Filed: 1995-12-19
Abstract: A ceramic thermal barrier coating layer (28) for a superalloy article (20) is caused to adhere to the superalloy article (20) by applying platinum to the superalloy article (20) and heat treating at a temperature of 1100°C to 1200°C for one hour. This causes aluminium to diffuse from the superalloy article (20) into the platinum to form a platinum enriched outer layer (24) which generally comprises a platinum enriched gamma phase (36) and a platinum enriched gamma prime phase (38). An alumina layer (26) is formed between the platinum enriched outer layer (24) and a ceramic coating (28). The platinum enriched gamma phase (36) and the platinum enriched gamma prime phase (38) in the outer layer (24) reduces the migration of transition metal elements to the ceramic coating (28) to enable a very pure alumina layer (26) to be formed.
Patent CA-2166281-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROLLMANN JUERGEN
IPC: C11D17/00
Filed: 1994-04-23
Abstract: In the prior art, sodium percarbonate is coated with compounds which produce a stabilizing action in order to increase the shelf life.  There is a need for an improved, boron-free, coating for sodium percarbonate.  Proposed by the invention is a particle coating containing sodium carbonate plus one or more optionally partly hydrated magnesium compounds, preferably magnesium sulphate, in a single coat or in separate coats.  The coating preferably contains two coats.  The particles are produced by spraying aqueous solutions containing the coating compounds on to sodium percarbonate in a fluidized bed and at the same time evaporating off the water.  Their long shelf life makes particles coated in this way suitable for use in washing, bleaching and cleaning agents.

Abstract: An interbody fusion device (20) includes a pair of lateral spacers (21) and a pair of central spacers (22, 23), each sized for percutaneous introduction through a disc resection portal in the disc annulus. Each of the lateral spacers (21) includes opposing side faces (33) defining a channel (34) therein, while each of the central spacers (22, 23) includes arms (47, 57) at their opposite ends configured to be received within a channel (34) of a corresponding lateral spacer (21).

Patent CA-2176889-A1 (CA)
Title: Aspirator Water Circulation Apparatus
Inventor: ZIEHM RAYMOND G
IPC: F24D17/00
Filed: 1996-05-17
Abstract: A water circulation apparatus to provide instant hot water to faucets remote from the heater in residential and small commercial buildings when water is periodically used in the building.  The apparatus comprises a body containing an aspirator and a check valve, and provisions for installation in the water supply line to the heater and cold water faucets. It uses a small water return line from a tee installed in the hot water pipe near the remote faucet, to a connector on the water circulation unit, thereby establishing a circulation loop from the water heater, through the hot water pipe, the tee and return line, and through the water circulation unit back to the heater. The aspirator is a tapered bore in the body with a concentric nozzle positioned in the large end, and a low pressure tap located in the vicinity of the nozzle outlet. The check valve uses a neutrally buoyant poppet to minimize friction. The unit is responsive to the user and is self regulating in that it causes water to flow in the circulation loop only when water is being used in the building. Water is conserved since there is no need to run water to waste awaiting hot water from the heater to reach the remote faucet. When the building is unoccupied, the unit is dormant, thus conserving heat that would be lost if the pipes were kept hot at all times. The unit needs no gas or electrical power, and operates with only one moving part.

Date Jul. 6, 1995Method for the controlled injection of a liquid in a tube by means of a peristaltic type pump actuated by a rotary d.c. motor (12) controlled by a control unit (10) such as a microprocessor, wherein an optical encoder (18) sends pulses to said control unit (10) during the intermittent operation of the motor. The method comprises operating the motor for period corresponding to a number of pulses equal to a set value. For each operating phase of the motor (12), equal to a predetermined number of pulses, the set value is reduced by the number of pulses transmitted during the preceding deceleration phase when the power supply is interrupted. The resulting error in the level of the volume of liquid to be injected thus remains approximately constant for the entire length of the injection period. The method according to the invention may be advantageously used in a programmable portable infusion system.
