Patent CA-2536076-A1 (CA)
Inventor: AUST MATTHIAS
IPC: B21D26/043
Filed: 2004-08-04
Abstract: The invention relates to an internal high pressure shaping method for shaping metal tubes (5) produced from metal, especially steel, in a tool (1) that has a die cavity (2) with a complex contour. Said die cavity (2) has cylindrical sections (2a, 2b) on its two opposite ends. The tube which is conical across its entire length is inserted in such a die cavity in such a manner that it lies with its ends (5a, 5b) in the area of the cylindrical sections (2a, 2b). The sealing plugs force the ends (5a, 5b) against the cylindrical sections (2a, 2b), optionally while radially flaring them, so that they come to rest clamped between the wall of the cylindrical sections (2a, 2b) and the sealing plugs. The tube (5) is forced against the complex contour of the die cavity (2) by subjecting the tube (5) to an internal high pressure and simultaneous axial compression of the tube (5).

Title: Method for producing composite material for coating applications
Inventor: HAJMRLE KAREL
IPC: B05D1/02
Filed: 2004-11-25
Abstract: The production of solid lubricant agglomerates by combining solid lubricant powder, an inorganic binder, other fillers if optionally desired, and a liquid to form a mixture, and driving off the liquid to form dry agglomerates which are subsequently classified by size or milled and classified by size to yield agglomerates of a desired size range. These agglomerates are then treated to stabilize the binder, thereby strengthening the binder and rendering it nondispersible in the liquid. The undesired size ranges can be readily recycled because the agglomerates with untreated binder can be reprocessed, thereby promoting high recovery rates.

Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing and operating data sessions between mobile subscriber units and packet data servers on a wireless communication network are presented. Some aspects described herein are directed to preventing the loss of an initial configuration request signal (e.g. under the LCP protocol) from a packet data server to a mobile subscriber prior to successful establishment of a radio air link to the mobile subscriber. Other aspects are directed to detecting the presence or absence of a radio air link to the mobile subscriber as a determinant of whether the packet data server is to send a configuration request signal to the mobile subscriber, or whether the packet data server should withhold the request signal until the air link is established. Some or all aspects presented are suitable for use in 3G or CDMA-2000 systems using the A10/A11 communication control protocol and the PPP data communication protocol.

Title: Process for preparing nano-sized metal oxide particles
Inventor: NISHIMURA RIICHI
IPC: C01B13/32
Filed: 2005-05-18
Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel sol-gel methods in which metal oxide precursor and an alcohol-based solution are mixed to form a reaction mixture that is then allowed to react to produce nanosized metal oxide particles. The methods of the present invention are more suitable for preparing nanosized metal oxide than are previously-described sol-gel methods.  The present invention can provide for nanosized metal oxide particles more efficiently than the previously-described sol-gel methods by permitting higher concentrations of metal oxide precursor to be employed in the reaction mixture. The foregoing is provided by careful control of the pH conditions during synthesis and by ensuring that the pH is maintained at a value of about 7 or higher.

Patent CA-2572081-A1 (CA)
Inventor: REMEDIOS DERRICK
IPC: H04B10/29
Filed: 2006-12-27
Abstract: This invention provides a method for commissioning and upgrading an optical ring network using its internal amplifiers as Automatic Spontaneous Emission sources of light that are used in making measurements. A modular segmented approach is adopted and the network is commissioned segment by segment. A  flexible method is used for upgrading a commissioned network by adding or deleting a node or changing the internal configuration of a node. The method uses techniques for the correction of the Optical Signal to Noise Ratio induced error as well as the Spectral Filtering Error during the loss computation required for adjusting the gains of the amplifiers at each network node to an appropriate value. Since the method does not require an external laser source that needs to be moved manually from node to node it greatly reduces the commissioning time.    Since it uses only the components of the network itself and does not deploy any additional device it also leads to a significant saving in cost.
