Patent CA-2161851-A1 (CA)
Title: Pressure Washer Drum
Inventor: TAYLER MARK
IPC: B01D33/067
Filed: 1995-10-31
Abstract: In prior pressure washer drums, the filter deck was supported on the central shaft by spokes welded to the central hub which was in turn welded to the shaft.  The extreme forces caused premature failure of the welded joints.  The present invention provides a pressure washer drum in which sandwic-hed parallel plates having an array of apertures replace the spokes and central pipe and journals are supported on the hub by a bolting system rather than by welding.

Filed: 1995-11-16
Abstract: A flexible hydrophilic coating for orthopaedic casting gloves is disclosed which includes the overdip of a conventional glove with a mixture of the conventional glove base material and a slippery material such as polyvinyl alcohol. The gloves are made in a conventional manner by a latex dipping process for example and a mixture of the latex and the overcoat material or lubricous material is used as the outer layer. In this way normally incompatible materials which do not adhere well to one another are caused to adhere and form a unitized outer layer for the application for the orthopaedic casting materials. In this way a glove having a lubricous outer surface is provided to ease the application of orthopaedic casting materials having a resinous binder.

Patent CA-2172511-A1 (CA)
Title: Packet bar code encoding and decoding
Inventor: WANG YNJIUN P
IPC: G06V30/224
Filed: 1995-07-26
Abstract: A machine readable code in a form such as a bar code (10) (fig. 2) uses self-addressed address/data packets which can be positioned in arbitrary orders and configurations (fig 1),          Additional    benefits, such as ability to use extended scan angles (26) for decoding and reduction in required code management data, also result from the self-contained nature of the address/data packet components of packet codes. A sequence of data is separated into units of data which are encoded in data portions of packets each also including an address portion which identifies the position of such data unit relative to the original sequence of data (fig. 7). The individual packets may then be positioned in a wide variety of configurations, rectangular and otherwise, with the individual packets in any order, sequential or otherwise (figs. 16 and 17). Even where packets are aligned in an extended row, the usable scan angle range is determined by the width to height aspect ratio of individual packets (fig. 3) and not limited by the much higher aspect ratio of the row of packets. Methods and systems for encoding and decoding packet codes are described.

Title: Process for recovering dicarboxylic acid with reduced impurities from polyester polymer
Inventor: ROLLICK KEVIN LOUIS
IPC: C07C63/26
Filed: 1994-10-10
Abstract: Technology for recycling polymers, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), is increasingly important in reducing the amount of polymeric materials deposited in landfills. The invention employs a base hydrolysis process to depolymerize, e.g. PET, which is improved by the addition of an oxidation step (preferably aeration) to oxidize impurities to highly insoluble impurities which may be removed by filtration, and may be further improved by the use of a quaternary hydroxide or a nonionic surfactant in the hydrolysis stage.

Patent CA-2176178-A1 (CA)
Title: Software algorithm providing dynamic configuration of dead band control criteria within a micro based real time process control environment
Inventor: FERRI VINCENT
IPC: G05B19/042
Filed: 1996-05-09
Abstract: A  real  time  process  control  system  for  control  of machinery.  The system has a master control module and a slave control module which receives control signals from the master control module.  Both control modules send control signals to a control effector and cause changes in at least one effect causing quality of the control effector.   The slave control module establishes a target value  for the effect causing quality of the control effector based on the signal it receives from the master microprocessor.   A sensor connected to the control effector and to the slave control module provides signals in the slave control module which indicate an actual value for the effect causing quality of the control effector.          A feedback loop controls the control signal from the slave microprocessor to the control effector to adjust the value of its effect causing quality in accordance with the target value.          In the event that the signal from the master control module to the slave control module is interupted a discrepancy between actual  and  target  values  of  the  effect  causing  quality indicates interruption of the signal.  The invention provides an increased deadband  for the  feedback loop to permit  a discrepancy large enough to be detectable and useable as an indication of  interruption of  the  signal  from the master control module to the slave control module.

Abstract: Une bande de ceinture (18) est placée en échevau sur des broches (11-14). Le bord de ceinture (24) du corps du vêtement (19) est téléscopé autour de la bande de ceinture (18) en étant placé lui-même en échevau sur les broches (11-14). Les pièces de vêtement progressent en se déroulant le long des broches (11-14) et défilent sous une aiguille de couture (17) qui réalise une ligne de piqûre au niveau des bords alignés du vêtement et de la bande de ceinture. Simultanément, les broches extrêmes (11, 13 et 14) se déplacent dans le sens longitudinal, le long du chemin de couture, pour régler la position de la bande de ceinture en réponse à la position des bords repliés (22, 23) de la bande de ceinture (18) telle que détectée par un capteur (128) de bande, tandis que des étoiles d'avance (119) saisissent la bande de ceinture (18) ainsi que le corps du vêtement (19) pour les forcer soit en direciton du chemin de couture (16) soit dans l'autre sens, en fonction des instructions données par les capteurs (112, 129) surveillant le bord de la bande et le bord du vêtement. Lorsque les bords dejà cousus des pièces de vêtement reviennent vers la machine à coudre (36), une des broches (13) se déplace latéralement de manière à étirer davantage les pièces de vêtement et suppriment ainsi toute accumulation du bord de ceinture (24) du corps du vêtement (19) au niveau de l'aiguille de couture (17) et du pied de pressage (39), afin d'éviter la formation d'un faux pli dans le corps du vêtement (19) à l'extrémité de la ligne de piqûre (29).

Title: Conformationally constrained backbone cyclized peptide analogs
Inventor: GILON CHAIM
IPC: C07K14/00
Filed: 1995-06-08
Abstract: Novel backbone cyclized peptide analogs are formed by means of bridging groups attached via the alpha nitrogens of amino acid derivatives to provide novel non-peptidic linkages. Novel building units disclosed are N.alpha./(.omega.-functionalized) amino acids constructed to include a spacer and a terminal functional group. One or more of these N.alpha.(.omega.-functionalized) amino acids are incorporated into a peptide sequence, preferably during solid phase peptide synthesis. The reactive terminal functional groups are protected by specific protecting groups that can be selectively removed to effect either backbone-to-backbone or backbone-to-side chain cyclizations. The invention is exemplified by backbone cyclized bradykinin antagonists having biological activity. Further embodiments of the invention are somatostatin analogs having one or two ring structures involving backbone cyclization.

The system also uses strain-gauges to measure the load on the jib. The  micro-processor  determines  by  way  of  the capacity and jib loads a residual load of the lift. A display device  displays the residual load to the lift operator and an alarm informs the operator of an  overload of  the  lift.    The  measurements  are transmitted to the micro-processor by fiber optic or radio  wave  technologies  and  the  micro-processor records high residual loads and residual overloads. The present invention  also proposes  a method for determining the residual load of the aerial lift.
