Patent CA-2371552-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GREBE INGO
IPC: F26B15/18
Filed: 2000-02-19
Abstract: Until now, a relative high degree of culling occurs as a result of wrinkling  and fissuring in sensitive types of wood when veneer is dried. According to the new method for drying veneer, wrinkling and fissuring is substantially prevented thereby minimizing culls. The drying device makes it possible to substantially automate the implementation of the inventive method. The venee r is fed through the dryer in such a way that the direction of the grain of th e veneer is slanted in relation to the direction of conveyance. The feed devic e in the drying device is embodied in such a way that the veneer is placed in the envisaged slanted position as it is fed to the dryer. Reversal of the slanted position is performed by the removal device. The veneer is dried.</S DOAB>

Abstract: A wireless telephone (including any wireless telephone device, such as a wireless telephone) includes software or hardware or a combination of the two to provide an automatic dialing feature. The information automatically transmitted when a user presses a single key or a combination of keys is the mobile identification number (MIN) of the wireless telephone, although any other information stored by a wireless telephone may be provided automatically as well. The invention is particularly useful when a user is attempting to enter the MIN when communicating over a wireless connection with a paging system. The software or hardware (or combination of the two) permits accessing a paging system for a called party, and upon receipt of a request from the paging system for the MIN and an action initiated by a user, initiating the automatic sequence to transmit the MIN to the paging system. The MIN is then transmitted to the paging system. In addition, a termination sequence can be added to the step of initiating the automatic sequence, with the termination sequence being transmitted following the transmission of the MIN. Also included is the step of automatically terminating the connection after a predetermined timeout period following the transmission of the MIN, or of the MIN and the termination sequence.

Abstract: Une interface graphique utilisateur (GUI) est utilisée pour trouver rapidement et facilement des motifs de données dans une séquence de données qui correspond à un motif de données voulu représentant un événement intéressant. L'utilisateur spécifie d'abord le motif de données voulu en déplaçant un curseur sur le motif voulu ou en sélectionnant le motif voulu dans un palette de motifs usuels prédéfinis. Des critères de recherche tels qu'un seuil de correspondance et des contraintes d'amplitude et de durée sont ensuite spécifiés. Une technique de reconnaissance de motif est ensuite utilisée pour trouver des motifs de données dans la séquence de données qui répondent aux critères de recherche. Ces motifs de données correspondants sont ensuite présentés à l'utilisateur par ordre de similarité, ce qui permet d'éviter à l'utilisateur de passer en revue de grandes quantités de données non pertinentes. Des algorithmes de reconnaissance de motifs particuliers sont également décrits.

Title: Combined oil return and compressor discharge temperature limitation regarding flooded economizer heat exchanger
Inventor: ERICKSON LEE J
IPC: F25B43/00
Filed: 1995-01-13
Abstract: A refrigeration system of the type having an economizer cycle is provided with a null cycle, in addition to heating and cooling cycles, without shutting a compres-sor prime mover down, to preserve air flow in a conditioned space. First, second and third controllable valves respec-tively: (1) select main and auxiliary condensers, (2) open and close a liquid line, and (3) open and close a line which provides a warm liquid to an economizer heat exchang-er. The valves are controlled in at least one predeter-mined open/close pattern during a null cycle, and prefera-bly in a plurality of selectable predetermined open/close patterns, to provide a null cycle at any instant which sub-stantially matches the net heat gain or loss taking place in the conditioned space. Thus, the temperature of the served space will be more apt to remain in a null tempera-ture range close to set point, providing smoother and more accurate control over the temperature of the conditioned space for longer shelf life of perishables stored therein.      The system achieves the latter :by controlling cooling circulation in the compressor oil cooler.

Abstract: A probe module for atomic force microscopy has a substrate (33) and a deflectable cantilever probe (4) projecting from it. In the head of the atom ic force microscope the probe is mounted with its axis perpendicular to the sample surface, e.g. so as to carry out shear force microscopy or transverse  dynamic force microscopy. The cantilever probe (4) has a reflective surface (43) which is directed back up along the probe so that movement of the probe  tip can be tracked using a light beam arrangement which in itself may be conventional. By this means, AFM procedures in perpendicular modes can be carried out using AFM heads requiring little modification from the conventional near-parallel mode arrangement. The probe may also be used in tapping mode to investigate sidewall features on a sample surface.

IPC: F02F7/00
Filed: 2002-10-09
Abstract: A damped steel baffle for an engine cam cover aids in separation of oil mist entrained in a flow of crankcase air vented through the cam cover, and directs the air to a PCV valve atop the cover. The baffle forms a channel for the air, and effectively absorbs noise generated within the cover. Oil droplets condense on channel and baffle surfaces, and drain to an engine oil sump. The interface between baffle and cam cover is sealed with a foam gasket layer or RTV sealant. The baffle is constructed of two metal layers joined together by a thin layer of viscoelastic adhesive that converts vibrational energy into heat to dampen resonant vibrations.  Amplitudes of vibration are significantly lower than for plain steel baffles, hence lower sound radiation is achieved. The individual steel layers are 0.2 to 0.6 mm thick;  the viscoelastic layer has a thickness up to 0.15 mm.
