Patent CA-2322866-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KARLSEN JORGEN
IPC: A63C5/04
Filed: 1999-02-04
Abstract: A snowboard comprises a board and bindings mounted on the board's surface. The board is designed with a first sole surface which is divided into three portions between the tips, and which is flat along its entire length between the transitions to the tips when the broad is pressed down against the base. In the front and rear portions, on each side of the first sole surface, the sole of the snowboard includes secondary lateral areas (2). In the secondary lateral areas (2) the cross section will form substantially straight lines. The secondary areas are rigid and not in contact with the ground unless the board is edged. The angle which the secondary lateral areas form with the first sole surface viewed in cross section, will substantially be increasing when moving from the transverse lines (5 or 7) towards the transition to the tips (4 or 8).

Abstract: An internal spacer and expander clamp for use when welding two sections of pipe (10, 10A) together. There are two spider rings (112, 112A) supported from a frame (104), one in one section of pipe and the other across the joint in the other pipe. Each spider ring has a plurality of holes (11) with a piston (16) with a pipe contacting pad (28) in each hole. A rotor (14) is supported within said spider ring. A linkage bar (18) is pivotally connected at one end to the piston and at the other end to a pin (22) in a cut-out (37) in the rotor. The convex ends (34) of the linkage bar mates with a concave cut-out (36) in the piston and the other end in a concave cut-out in the rotor. A  power linkage rotates the rotor such that in a first position the longitudinal axis of the piston is out of alignment with the longitudinal axis of the linkage bar and in a second rotational position thus are aligned forcing the shoe (28) against the inner surface of the pipe with great force.

Patent CA-2344785-A1 (CA)
Title: Method of chrono-stratigraphic interpretation of a seismic cross section or block
Inventor: DONIAS MARC
IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 2001-04-24
Abstract: The method uses the image obtained by accumulating continuity curves representative of seismic horizons so as to determine the geological strata constituting the seismic section, such as they were deposited and not such as they are observed today. To do this, the method defines a transformation of the vertical scale of the seismic section, scale measured in seismic times, into a geological vertical scale measured in geological times. This transformation is based on an equalization of histograms. Starting from equalized histograms, the method makes it possible to determine equalized seismic sections which are used to determine the rates of sedimentation which governed the depositions of geological strata. In particular, it highlights geological hiatuses, that is to say erosions and gaps.

Title: A system, method and article of manufacture for advanced information gathering for targetted activities
Inventor: BURKEY CHAD
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 1999-11-10
Abstract: An agent based system assists in preparing an individual for an upcoming meeting by helping him/her retrieve relevant information about the meeting from various sources based on preexisting information in the system. The system obtains input text in character form indicative of the target meeting  from a calendar program that includes the time of the meeting. As the time o f the meeting approaches, the calendar program is queried to obtain the text o f the target event and that information is utilized as input to the agent system. Then, the agent system parses the input meeting text to extract its various components such as title, body, participants, location, time etc. Th e system also performs pattern matching to identify particular meeting fields in a meeting text. This information is utilized to query various sources of information on the web and obtain relevant stories about the current meeting  to send back to the calendaring system. For example, if an individual has a meeting with Netscape and Microsoft to talk about their disputes, the system  obtains this initial information from the calendaring system. It will then parse out the text to realize that the companies in the meeting are "Netscap e" and "Microsoft" and the topic is "disputes". It will then surf the web for relevant information concerning the topic. Thus, in accordance with an objective of the invention, the system updates the calendaring system and eventually the user with the best information it can gather to prepare for t he target meeting. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the information i s stored in a file that is obtained via selection from a link imbedded in the calendar system.

Title: Device for preparing hot beverages and method for preparing hot beverages using said device
Inventor: JORGENSEN CARSTEN
IPC: A47J31/56
Filed: 1999-11-25
Abstract: A device for preparing beverages of the type having a closed compartment (c2), an open compartment(cl), an ascension pipe (23} connecting the compartments, and a filtering device (fl) between the ascension pipe (23) and the open compartment (cI), has some disadvantages in that an external heating source is needed, thereby increasing the risk of fire and burning the operating persons. Further, the infusion time is either fixed, being decided by the distance between the lower orifice of the ascending pipe and the bottom of the closed compartment or left to the user to estimate. The inventor has consequently suggested, that the bottom of the closed compartment (c2) at least has two levels (H1, H4), one level of diminished elevation (H4) in a relatively small area around the lower orifice of the ascension pipe (23), the level {H3) of which is at least below the other elevated level {H1) of a relatively large area, said large area being equipped with electrical heating means (hel, he2) controlled by switching means and at least one temperature sensitive means (B) for controlling the switching means, said large area of the bottom being surrounded by a rim (25) for holding a residual of liquid.

Title: Electrochemical cell having an electrode with a carbonate additive in the electrode active mixture
Inventor: TAKEUCHI ESTHER S
IPC: H01M4/40
Filed: 2001-10-23
Abstract: An electrochemical cell of either a primary or a secondary chemistry, is described. In either case, the cell has a negative electrode of lithium or of an anode material which is capable of intercalating and de-intercalating lithium coupled with a positive electrode of a cathode active material. A carbonate compound is mixed with either the anode material or the cathode active material prior to contact with its current collector. The resulting electrode couple is activated by a nonaqueous electrolyte. The electrolyte flows into and throughout the electrodes causing the carbonate additive to dissolve in the electrolyte. The carbonate solute is then able to contact the lithium to provide an electrically insulating and sonically conducting passivation layer thereon.
Patent CA-2360335-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAURENT PIERRE-ANDRE

Filed: 2000-01-05
Abstract: The invention concerns a transmitter comprising a power tube (1) whereof the gate is excited by a variable phase signal through an energizer (2) and whereof the anode is amplitude modulated by a modulator (3) output signal. The phase and amplitudes of the signals respectively applied on the tube (1) gate and anode are representative of the phase and amplitude of the complex signal to be transmitted. In order that the amplifying characteristic of the transmitter in its entirety remains linear independently of the amplitude of the signal to be transmitted, the energizer (2) has a linear amplifying characteristic for low amplitude levels of the signal to be transmitted and operates in saturated mode when the amplitude of the signal to be transmitted exceeds a predetermined threshold. The invention is applicable to short-wave transmitters.
