Patent CA-2296643-A1 (CA)
Title: Multipurpose locking pliers
Inventor: SRAJER REINHARD
IPC: B25F1/00
Filed: 2000-01-19
Abstract: A folding multipurpose tool including adjustable locking pliers with an over-center locking mechanism to retain the jaws in a gripping condition.     The jaws of the locking pliers can be folded into the handles of the tool to produce a compact folded configuration. A latch mechanism in the tool handle retains a selected one of several folding tool bits or blades in an extended position for use and includes an abutment arrangement to prevent such a selected tool bit from being extended too far. A spring associated with a tool bit driving socket retains separate tool bits and resists inadvertent removal of an adjustment screw element of the locking pliers. Upon removal of the adjustment screw element, special bits, such as a corkscrew, can be screwed into the tool bit driving socket.

Abstract: A coil device which is excellent in adaptability to deformation comprises a plurality of coils and a substrate for holding the coils. The coils are separated from each other and the substrate is made of a flexible member. This enables the coil device to mechanically deform and to adapt to the changes in application conditions such as deformation or extension and to suitably adapt as an electromagnetic circuit without necessity of adjustment. Arranging of the coils makes the coil device suitable for transmission cable.

Title: Immersed membrane filtration system and overflow process
Inventor: PEDERSEN STEVEN KRISTIAN
IPC: B01D63/04
Filed: 2000-05-05
Abstract: Modules of ultrafiltration or microfiltration membranes are arranged in a tank open to the atmosphere to substantially cover the cross sectional area of the tank. A filtration cycle has permeation steps and deconcentration steps. During permeation, supply of feed substantially equals feed removed and little if any aeration is used. During deconcentration, aeration with scouring bubbles is provided with one or both of backwashing and feed flushing. In feed flushing, feed water is supplied to the tank from below the modules.

Patent CA-2313600-A1 (CA)
Title: Method of powder coating a substrate
Inventor: HORINKA PAUL R
IPC: B05D1/06
Filed: 2000-07-05
Abstract: In substrates, such as wood substrates, having sharp edges, corners and other surface discontinuities, in a front appearance surface, non-functional machining, such as formation of grooves, is performed on the rear non-appearance surface adjacent the surface discontinuities. Coating powder is applied, e.g., electrostatically, to the appearance surface of the substrate and the coating powder fused or fused and cured to form a continuous coating on the appearance surface of the substrate. The rear surface machining reduces cracking of the coating at the front surface discontinuities. In some cases, non-functional machining is distributed over the entire non-appearance surface of the work-piece to promote out-gassing of volatiles to the non-appearance surface, thereby eliminating out-gassing-caused defects in the coating formed on the appearance surface.

Patent CA-2317395-A1 (CA)
Title: Hydrogen production via the direct cracking of hydrocarbons
Inventor: BERNALES CICERO A
IPC: C01B3/26
Filed: 1999-02-19
Abstract: A process for producing substantially pure hydrogen by contacting a stream of a hydrocarbon gas with a nickel or nickel-copper containing catalyst at a temperature in the range of about 400 to 900 ~C. This results in the conversion of the hydrocarbon gas to substantially pure hydrogen, with said process being carried out until the catalyst is deactivated due to the deposition of carbon on the catalyst. The deactivated catalyst may be regenerated by oxidation in air or by steam gasification of the deposited carbon. The carbon deposited on the catalyst also has separate utility for electrochemical and fuel storage applications and may be recovered for further use.
