Title: Tire-located track for vehicles and method of installing same
Inventor: LEVASSEUR MARC
IPC: B62D55/32
Filed: 2002-02-26
Abstract: A track kit for multiple wheeled vehicles comprises at least one flexible track which is adapted to engage circumferential tread portions of two or more tandemly spaced and aligned wheels as a continuous loop. The track includes a pair of longitudinally elongated and spaced apart flexible webs, along the length of which are secured a number of laterally extending cleats. The webs are provided in a generally parallel orientation having a length marginally less than the maximum circumferential distance about the tread surface of the wheels. The webs are maintained in a spaced orientation relative to each other by the attachment of an end portion of each cleat to a respective web. The cleats are provided with a plate scraper member or portion which spans laterally across both webs in a generally lateral orientation. The plate scraper member includes a body extending perpendicular to the surface of the webs. An inner edge surface of the scraper plate portion located closest to the wheels has a contour selected to follow the cross-sectional contour of the circumferential tread surface of the tires to assist in maintaining the track centered on the tread surfaces of the wheels. Mounting flanges are provided along the end portions of the cleat to assist in the coupling of each cleat to the webs. The cleats are secured to the webs, with the end portions of each cleat at least partially overlapping and coupled to a corresponding web by the use of mechanical fasteners to minimize wear on the fasteners. The plate scraper member is provided with one or more cut-outs which are aligned with the apertures formed in the mounting plates. The cut-outs are sized to receive an end portion of the fastener arrangement which extends beyond the mounting.

Title: Signal decoratif comportant des parties en relief et son procede de production
Inventor: STECKER WILLIAM M
IPC: B29C41/22
Filed: 2000-05-19
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de production d'un article décoratif fabriqué, de faible intensité et comportant au moins une partie en relief, le procédé consistant à mouler une première (70) résine thermodurcissable dans des creux pratiqués dans une surface de moule de sorte que la première résine ne soit pas en contact avec la surface du moule. La première résine est partiellement durcie jusqu'à une phase <= B >=, ce qui permet d'obtenir une surface extérieure au moule étanche à l'air. On applique ensuite un revêtement d'une deuxième (82) résine thermodurcissable, telle qu'un polyester non saturé, sur la première résine partiellement durcie et la surface du moule. On place un substrat (52) comportant une grande face en contact avec la deuxième (82) résine thermodurcissable puis on applique une force de compression progressive (90a, 90b) sur la deuxième résine thermodurcissable à travers le substrat (52) pour empêcher l'air de pénétrer (80a) dans la deuxième (82) résine thermodurcissable. Les première et deuxième (70, 82) résines thermodurcissables durcissent sans que la deuxième (82) résine thermodurcissable n'applique une contrainte de cisaillement sur la première (70) résine thermodurcissable.
Patent CA-2376492-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PARKER GLEN C
IPC: F16C11/06
Filed: 2002-03-14
Abstract: An assembly technique and device for enclosing an open end of a movable socket (10) comprised of fully hardened materials with an expanding cover-plate (66) and for controlling the expansion of the cover-plate (66) to provide a central orifice (67) of predetermined dimensions to facilitate the installation of a grease fitting. During assembly, various internal components of the movable socket, including the pressure plate, are installed within a housing (12) through a posterior opening (16) with the cover-plate is positioned over the components. A two-stage ram (100) having a contact surface and a concentric pivot punch (142, 158) is brought into engagement with the cover-plate. Pressure exerted by the two-stage ram is transferred to the cover-plate through the contact surface, expanding the cover-plate to conform to the contact surface and enclosing the internal components within the socket housing. The exerted pressure additionally results in the extension of the concentric pivot punch into the central orifice of the cover-plate, controlling the expansion of the cover-plate and establishing the central orifice to predetermined dimensions upon closure of the socket housing.

Inventor: CUNKLE GLEN THOMAS
IPC: C07D211/94
Filed: 2000-09-07
Abstract: Selected chlorohydrin and cationic compounds containing nitroxide or hydroxylamine moieties are effective in stabilizing pulp or paper, especiall y pulp or paper containing lignin, against yellowing and discoloration due to the adverse effects of light. These compounds are added at various points in  the paper-making process, especially at the wet ends, making the need for water soluble or water dispersible materials having high affinity for pulp o r paper essential. This performance is often further enhanced by the presence of one or more coadditives selected from the group consisting of the UV absorbers, the polymeric inhibitors, the nitrones, the fluorescent whitening  agents and metal chelating agents. Combinations of hydroxylamines or their salts, benzotriazole or benzophenone UV absorbers and a metal chelating agen t are particularly effective.

IPC: G02B21/36
Filed: 2000-10-06
Abstract: A method and system that uses a computer system as a telemicroscope. A  plurality of images of a specimen is captured (Digital camera, scanner, video camera). The images correspond to the entire specimen and a plurality of segments of the specimen (Multiple linked images). The high-resolution images corresponding to said plurality of segments have different magni-fication levels and locations (magnifying glass effect); a linking map is generated between said images (Multiple linked images).  The linking map comprises information regarding geographical location of the images in relation to the specimen's structure (Image analysis measurement); and images and said linking map are transmitted to a remote user via a computer network thereby allowing the user to view the images with different magnification levels without compromising in image clarity (Computer station one and computer station two). The transmitted images are viewed in a dynamic manner, permitting the user to navigate, enlarge, measure, compare, annotate and exam the digitized images on a virtual slides displayed on a computer screen (Image analysis measurement).  The operation of the system closely mimics that of a light microscope.
