Title: Retrofit tailgate counterbalancing hinge
Inventor: AUSTIN DONALD M
IPC: B62D33/023
Filed: 2005-09-09
Abstract: A torque rod-based counterbalancing hinge assembly includes a first assembly for securing the torque rod to one side of vehicle's body and supporting the tailgate to the same side of the vehicle' s body, and a second assembly for supporting the other end of the tailgate to the other side of the vehicle's body. The first assembly includes a body bracket with an elongated key slot that receives an elongated key of a pivot coupling having an opening for receiving a first end of the torque rod. A retainer assembly including a one-piece construction retainer block receives and secures to the tailgate a second end of the torque rod, so that it twists as the tailgate is rotated. The retainer block has the structural strength necessary to restrain without failing the torque rod as it is twisted and subjected to a torsional force in response to the rotation of the tailgate.

Title: Semiconductor package having filler metal of gold/silver/copper alloy
Inventor: LOBSINGER JOSHUA DAVID
IPC: H01L23/10
Filed: 2004-05-19
Abstract: A semiconductor package to which a potential difference is applied has two or more of the components thereof bound together using a filler metal. The filler metal is a solid solution structure in which the metallic components are atomically dispersed, and may comprise an alloy of gold, silver and copper. A  preferred form of the filler metal comprises 60Au20Ag20Cu. Such filler metals in accordance with the invention provide the advantages of silver-based filler metals without the silver migration that leads to eventual shorting of the semiconductor package. When water condenses to form a continuous layer thereof within the semiconductor package due to moisture seeping into the package and temperature changes, the silver within the filler metal does not ionize, and therefore a buildup of silver deposits and eventual shorting of the package does not occur.

Title: Poly-4-hydroxybutyrate matrices for sustained drug delivery
Inventor: HASIRICI VASIF N
IPC: A61K9/14
Filed: 2004-07-08
Abstract: Biodegradable controlled release systems providing prolonged controlled release of drugs, and methods for the manufacture thereof are disclosed. The systems are formed from a biocompatible, biodegradable polymer, in particular poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (PHA4400) or copolymers thereof. Copolymers of 4-hydroxybutyrate include but are not limited to poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate (PHA3444), and poly-4-hydoxybutyrate-co-glycolate (PHA4422).  Drugs are generally incorporated into the polymer using a method that yields a uniform dispersion. The type of drug and the quantity are selected based on the known pharmaceutical properties of these compounds. The systems may be administered for example by implantation, injection, topical administration, or oral ingestion. They may also be used in combination with a medical device, for example, a stent. A major advantage of the drug delivery system is that it does not need to be removed after use since it is slowly degraded and cleared by the patient's body. The device has desirable physical properties, including strength, modulus and elongation.
Patent CA-2532446-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PICARD SEBASTIEN
IPC: B65B57/10
Filed: 2006-01-09
Abstract: An automatic bagging system and method of operation having an intelligent programmable controller is described. Articles are discharged, one at a time, at a rapid rate into compartments of an article receiving housing and are then discharged in a bag. The article receiving housing has hinge gates for guiding the articles in respective ones of the compartments. A detector detects the position of articles being discharged into the article receiving housing and sends article detection signals to a controller. The controller has a programmable processor in which is inputted article loading time lapse data for each of the compartments. The system continuously loads articles into the article receiving housing and retains a first article during the discharge operation of the housing. The controller also operates the hinge gates after a delay of the time lapse data and in synchronism with the article detection signals. The controller controls the speed of an infeed conveyor, the number of articles to be placed in each of the compartments, the discharge thereof, the operation of the hinge gates and the operation of the holding device to support the first article during the discharge mode and controlling the rate of placement of articles on the infeed conveyor.

Patent CA-2535018-A1 (CA)
Title: Pipe seal
Inventor: BURNES JAMES J
IPC: A01J21/00
Filed: 2004-09-30
Abstract: A molded plastic seal assembly (20), for use with a leaching or stormwater system component, comprises at least two embossed, preferentially eccentric, circular grooves (C 1), (C2). Pulling on a tab (40) tears out the interior portion (24) of the seal assembly, to create a hole (34) which accommodates a first pipe diameter. A remaining crescent portion (26) of the seal, which surrounds the hole (34) has a multiplicity of perforations (30) or other means for thinning. Thus, when a second larger diameter pipe pushed into said hole, it deforms the crescent inwardly, so the hole diameter is increased, sufficient to fit the second pipe and form a seal. To make the grooves (C1), (C2) by plastic injection molding, a portion of the injection mold is moved during molding.

Title: Gravel pack crossover tool with single position multi-function capability
Inventor: CORBETT THOMAS G
IPC: E21B43/04
Filed: 2004-11-12
Abstract: A gravel packing method and apparatus are described where to set the packer; a ball is dropped to a seat that it isolated from the effects of formation pressures when trying to set the packer. This is accomplished by isolation of the gravel pack outlet port when setting the packer and locating the ball seat in a position where the effects of formation pressure are irrelevant.  Additionally, by positioning the evacuation ports above a seal bore in the screen extension during circulation or squeeze to deposit gravel and further putting check valves in the evacuation ports, the evacuation step after circulation or squeeze can be accomplished without having to reposition the crossover. The crossover is supported from the packer and movement of the crossover, away and back to the support from the packer operates a valve to allow squeezing when the valve is closed and circulating and reversing out when the valve is open. Thus, the gravel pack method and apparatus facilitates circulation, squeeze and reverse circulation in a single supported position.
