Title: Soil solidification apparatus with a shear blade of adjustable length and rotation speed for creating a ribbed soil-cement pile
Inventor: TAKI OSAMU
IPC: E02D3/12
Filed: 1995-02-21
Abstract: A soil mixing apparatus that requires less drilling force comprises a shaft, a plurality of cutting blades, an excavation blade, an auger bit, a shear blade having an extendible finger. The cutting blades, excavation blade and auger bit are attached to rotate with the shaft. The shear blade is attached at a fixed longitudinal position along the shaft. The shear blade provides a variable length by attaching different length fingers that are adjustable to the soil conditions in which the mixing apparatus is used. The shear blade is also mounted to the shaft at an angle such that the shear blade rotates in the same direction as the excavation blade and the cutting blades, but at a much slower rotation rate.

Patent CA-2155077-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BURK ALLAN G
IPC: G01L1/10
Filed: 1995-07-31
Abstract: A non-destructive method for measuring the tension of a cable under tension is described whereby the cable is contacted with an impact stimulus with a force transverse to the length of the cable thereby creating an incident vibrational wave in the cable and propagating the wave along the length of the cable. The propagating wave is sensed by a first accelerometer positioned on the cable which detects the passage and amplitude of the wave and creates electrical signals having a magnitude directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave. A second accelerometer which is positioned at a distance apart from the first accelerometer subsequently senses and detects the passage of the wave at the second accelerometer, also creating electrical signals having a magnitude directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave. The electrical signals from the accelerometers are received and processed to ultimately calculate the tension in the cable.

Title: Process and apparatus for scrap glass fibers
Inventor: POSTUPACK DENNIS S
IPC: C03B5/00
Filed: 1994-03-29
Abstract: The process and apparatus of the present invention enable the production of glass fiber product from scrap glass fibers. The invention includes: feeding the scrap glass fibers (14) having an average length up to around 12 inches to a glass melting tank (40) having a pool (36) of molten glass, melting the scrap glass fibers (14) without the presence of non-vitrified glass forming materials in an oxidizing environment, conditioning the melt to a formable viscosity, and forming the glass fiber from the conditioned melt where for a given glass fiber product the e is a near constant pull of the melted glass from the melter (40). The rate of feeding of the scrap glass to the melter is sufficient to maintain the pool of melted glass with a level within the range of + 0.35 inch (9 mm.) over a period of eight hours. The glass melter (40) has a high length to width ratio with a finite-sided melting containment area which holds a pool of molten glass (36) that receives the scrap glass.

Title: Polymerisation process
Inventor: CHINH JEAN-CLAUDE
IPC: C08F2/34
Filed: 1994-05-19
Abstract: The invention relates to continuous gas fluidised bod polymerisation of olefins, especially ethylene, propylene, or mixtures of these with other alpha olefins, wherein the monomer-containing recycle gas employed to fluidise the bed is cooled to condense out at least same ~ liquid hydrocarbon. The condensed liquid, which can be a monomer or an inert liquid, is separated from the recycle gas and is fed directly to the bed to produced cooling by latent heat of evaporation. The liquid feeding to the bed can be through gas-induced atomiser nozzles (fig. 2), or through liquid-only nozzles. The process provides substantially improved productivity of gas fluidised bed polymerisation of olefins.

Patent CA-2179177-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHEN WENPENG
IPC: G11C13/04
Filed: 1994-12-09
Abstract: An optical memory material in-cludes a two-photon storage component which can be written from a first to a second state in response to WRITE light mixed with a signal component which fluoresces by one-photon absorp-tion only at the written locations in re-sponse to READ light. The storage ma-terial may be a fulgide. The memory material may also include a frequency upconversion material to aid writing. Writing is performed by a spatial light modulator (SLM) with a dynamic fo-cussing system for concentrating suffi-cient power at WRITE locations for non-linear two-photon absorption. Crosstalk is avoided during simultaneous writing in some embodiments, by spacing the in-dividual WRITE beans apart by an in-teger number of inter-beam spacings so that non-adjacent datels are written si-multaneonsly in a "paragraph", and the non-written areas are written at a differ-ent time with different paragraphs. The memory material may be translated rela-tive to the SLM to access different para-graghs or accessed by an electronically sparsed SLM. Reading uses a sheet of READ light traversing the pages of written material to cause the signal component to fluoresce, and imaging the fluorescent pattern onto a detector array. The memory material may be stacked in layers, spaced apart by light waveguides, for guiding the READ beam to the page to be read. In another embodiment, writing and erasure are performed by a modulated quasi-one-dimensional sheet of light, intersecting a second, unmodulated sheet of light at a column within the memory material.
