Title: Moisture and temperature regulation insole for the feet of the user applied in shoemaking
Inventor: SWETT OPAZO ALFONSO ANDRES
IPC: A43B17/10
Filed: 2001-01-19
Abstract: A moisture and temperature regulating insole for a shoe. The shoe includes a body having a cover and a base layer connected to the cover, and a sole having a base connected to the body and an expansive foam between the body and the base. The insole includes an absorbent layer, an elastic layer, and a closure layer. The insole is connected to the body and to the sole such that the insole absorbs the moist air within the shoe during an advance phase of the foot when the shoe is detached from the ground or floor and delivers the absorbed air with a lower content of moisture and temperature during the support phase of the foot when the shoe is supported on the ground or floor, in part to the environment and in part to the shoe body.

Inventor: BOUCHARD LAUREAT
IPC: B60J11/00
Filed: 2001-11-05
Abstract: A device for protecting a vehicle top surface and for removing snow from the vehicle top surface. The device includes a generally flexible membrane and a mounting mechanism allowing the membrane to slidably move between a covering configuration wherein the membrane covers the vehicle top surface and a retracted configuration wherein the membrane is removed from the vehicle top surface and is in an overlying relationship relative to the vehicle first side wall.   The mounting mechanism allows the membrane to remain in a generally taut state as it is moved between the covering and retracted configurations, the membrane being bent according to a membrane bending angle that dislodges snow having adhered to the membrane. Optionally, the device further includes a binding snow breaking component mounted on the vehicle for locally breaking slabs of binding snow that may form between the membrane peripheral edges and adjacent structures part of the vehicle. The present invention also relates to a method for preventing from accumulating on the vehicle top surface. The method includes the step of mounting a membrane to the vehicle in a protecting configuration wherein the membrane generally protectively overlies the vehicle top surface so as to enable the membrane to collect a certain amount of the snow falling towards the vehicle top surface. Once a certain amount of snow has accumulated on the membrane, the membrane is moved from the protecting configuration to a retracted configuration wherein the membrane is at least partially retracted from the vehicle top surface and tilted at an angle allowing the discharge away from the vehicle of the snow having been collected by the membrane.

Title: A method of making a thin walled article using wheat flour
Inventor: HARLE DOUG
IPC: B65D65/46
Filed: 2001-12-19
Abstract: A thin walled article, for example a biodegradable tray is formed by a method using a mixture comprised substantially of wheat flour. The mixture is subjected to pressure within a heated mold for cooking the mixture under pressure to produce the article. Water is added to the mixture having a combined weight which is less than 23% of the total weight of the mixture. The mixture thus has the consistency of a moistened powder before being placed in the mold. The mixture is thus readily mixed and handled while permitting various additives to also be readily added to the mixture. These additives may include a powdered dye, a pre-gelatinised starch, a binding agent (for example guar gum), a humectant (for example D-Sorbitol), a cellulose fibre (for example a natural dietary fibre) or a preservative (for example Sodium Benzoate).
