Patent CA-2349189-A1 (CA)
Title: Methods and apparatus for forming a beaded can end
Inventor: TURNER STEPHEN B
IPC: B21D51/38
Filed: 1999-09-22
Abstract: A can end is formed from sheet material in a single acting press (100) by blanking a workpiece (W) and holding the workpiece between a blanking punch (120) and a draw pad (128). The periphery of the workpiece is worked between a knockout (116) and a crown ring (130) to contour a crown (C). A bead punch (112) advances into the workpiece to form a shell (S) extending from the crown. The bead punch bottoms out on a bead die (134) and collapses to a predetermined position to form a plurality of beads (B) adjacent the shell by flowing a portion of the shell to form the beads while shortening the shell to less than specifications for the can end. The bead punch returns to an uncollapsed position during upstroke of the press to extend the shell to be within specifications.      Apparatus for forming a can end in a press (100) includes a fluidly supported die crown ring (130) having an upper surface defining a can end crown (C) contour. Knockout (116) is aligned with the die crown ring for engaging a workpiece (W) upon downstroke of the press to form a crown in the periphery of the workpiece. A punch (112), mounted to collapse against fluid pressure, forms a shell (S) extending from the crown and presses the workpiece against a bead die (134) to form a plurality of beads (B) adjacent the shell.  The punch collapses so that a portion of the shell flows to form the beads and returns to an uncollapsed position during upstroke to extend the shell to meet specifications.

Abstract: The invention is basically a system for delivering closed caption text to attendees of movies or other events. It comprises a head mounted display 103 which can be used at motion picture theaters for hearing impaired persons and persons who don't speak the language that the original movie dialog is being shown in and also for distributing broadcast information to the same persons at other events. The main components are a device 103 comprising either a suitable monocular or binocular display, including a head mounted display which is worn by viewers of movies or attendees of events, a central router/processor 100, and a transmission protocol 104. Closed caption or representative text is projected onto the screen of the display 103, synchronized with the dialog of the movie or broadcast, and in a manner that permits the person wearing it to view the action on the screen, while it is completely discrete to those who are not using the display 103. For persons who speak a foreign language there will be an interface 116 for choosing the language of the closed caption text. The device will either receive its signal information wirelessly or will plug into a connector built into the seat or other nearby structure. A power supply mechanism will either be integral or attached to the device or will also be supplied by a hardwire connection 107.

Abstract: Systems and methods for electronic trading that provide incentives for gathering orders, making markets, and submitting block orders, and that enable linking of multiple auctions are provided. These systems and methods may first determine if the trader qualifies for an incentive.  This determination may be made based upon one or more characteristics, such as price, size, duration, etc., of orders submitted to the trading system by the trader. Once the trader has been determined as being eligible for one or more incentives, the incentives that are provided may include reduced transaction costs, cash payments, priority or exclusivity in trading, self execution of transactions, etc.  Similarly, before an order is eligible to be traded in an auction that is linked to another auction in the trading system, the order is preferably confirmed as qualifying to be auctioned in such a manner. Once an order is confirmed as qualifying for a linked auction, the auction is created and preferably linked to another auction based upon a characteristic of the order, such as price. In addition to being linked, information from each auction may be made available to traders in the other auctions.
