Patent CA-2574643-A1 (CA)
Title: Sharp undercutter and undercutter fabrication
Inventor: ROYLE TERENCE GORDON
IPC: B26B19/04
Filed: 2005-07-21
Abstract: This invention employs a serrated or scalloped edge (7) on the undercutter of an electric razor to enhance the shaving performance. This improvement is achieved by promoting hair capture and retention and reducing the cutting forces required to sever the hair. The serrations and/or scallops (9) help retain the captured hair, thereby increasing hair cutting efficiency. They also reduce the tendency for the hair to "roll" along the edge of the foil aperture until it is trapped in the aperture angle; this promotes a closer shave. A serrated edge can be generated by various methods. In this disclosure, several possible methods are described. The preferred method of fabrication is to generate a weld bead on the outer surface of an undercutter blade and grind back the bead to generate sharp edges along the weld bead. In doing so, the weld bead produces a serrated pattern. The geometry of the serration is determined by the geometry of the weld bead.

Inventor: HORI MASAHIKO
IPC: C22B34/12

Abstract: In the production of Ti or a Ti alloy by reduction of Ca, a bath salt withdrawn from the step of reduction is electrolyzed, and Ca and the bath salt are recovered as a solid which is then transferred to the step of reduction.  According to this process, the latent heat of fusion possessed by the solid can be utilized to suppress the generation of heat in the step of reduction and thus to significantly improve the production efficiency and the thermal efficiency. At the same time, the reaction temperature can easily be controlled, and, thus, the starting material charge speed can be increased to produce Ti or Ti alloy with good efficiency. In this case, the use of a pull-up electrolysis method can realize the production of solid Ca and bath salt at low voltage with high current efficiency and, thus, with relatively low power consumption. When the solid Ca and bath salt are used as a Ca source in the production of Ti or Ti alloy by Ca reduction, Ti or Ti alloy can be produced with high efficiency.

Title: Multimodal authorization method, system and device
Inventor: BAKER JAMES T
IPC: B07C5/00
Filed: 2006-05-26
Abstract: The invention includes methods, systems and devices for authenticating transactions. A method may begin by enrolling at least two biometric specimens to a database. A false acceptance ratio ("FAR") is determined for each of the specimens, and authorization options are identified. A cost value is calculated for at least one of the options to provide a calculated cost value ("CCV"). The CCV may be a function of the FAR(s) of the specimen(s) corresponding to the option. An acceptable cost value range ("ACV range") may be identified, and compared to the CCV. If it is determined that the CCV is in the ACV range, then the option is selected. If the CCV is in the ACV range, then a set of biometric samples is provided (the "sample set"). The sample set is compared to the biometric specimens, and it is determined whether the biometric samples match the biometric specimens. If the biometric samples match the biometric specimens, then the transaction is authorized.
