Patent CA-2410863-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RACIBORSKI NATHAN F
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2001-06-01
Abstract: A method for selecting a transfer node which is likely to provide sufficient transfer quality to a client computer. The method includes identifying a group of transfer nodes to the client computer along with at least one node outside of the group. The node outside the group along with one node in the group are analyzed from the client computer perspective. The analysis of the node in the group is attributed to all other nodes in the group. In this way, only one node in the group must be analyzed in order to select between any node in the group and the node outside of the group.

Title: Method and apparatus for storing compressed gas
Inventor: LOUTFY RAOUF O
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2001-09-04
Abstract: A compressed gas such as hydrogen is stored at elevated pressure by introducing it into a plurality of storage cells (2) having a common gas distribution manifold (3) thereby maintaining the same pressure in all cells.  The flow of gas between the manifold in any given cell is blocked in the event of a sudden pressure drop in such cell such as may occur in the event of a leak in the cell. Preferably, the cells are constructed in modular form (1) to include a plurality of the cells (2) and the modular material is preferably made of porous gasar material. The low pressure, i.e., leaky cell, is preferably blocked by a closure (4) formed of pliable rubber like material that is forced against the passageway leading from the manifold (3) to the cell (2) by higher gas pressure in the manifold, which occurs when the pressure becomes lower in the given cell due to a leak.

Title: Method of weight measurement using moving weigh conveyor
Inventor: RING TIMOTHY W
IPC: G01G11/18
Filed: 2001-04-09
Abstract: A control for a continuously moving weighing conveyor first triggers on a predetermined sensed weight (104). The control determines a first inflection point on the weight waveform defined as the "maximum positive slope" (106).  Then the control begins recording weight samples at a sampling rate. The control checks the weight waveform of sampled weights for a slope which is a first pre-selected percentage of the maximum slope but negative in slope value "weight-off-scale" point (110). The control then looks backward through the recorded data of weight samples to find another point which has a slope which is a second preselected negative percentage of the maximum positive slope "end sample position"(114). Then a "start sample position" (118) is determined to fall within, or at the start of, a flat region of the waveform. The values within the sample period are then averaged to determine a static weight.

Abstract: In this invention, after a hole has been drilled or excavated, injection probe(s) are placed at appropriate depth(s), the excavated native materials are replaced with appropriately sized crushed rock or other natural or synthetic materials, and then a polymeric resin is injected through the probe(s) to encapsulate and bind the fill material, whereby upon curing the polymeric resin and fill material forms a foam friction pile. Such friction piles drilled or excavated adjacent to each other will form a foam sheet piling system. The foam piles can also be re-enforced using nylon, polypropylene, fiberglass, other synthetic or non- synthetic materials or combinations of these materials. The polymeric resin typically would comprise a high density closed cell, water resistant expanding two component polyurethane foam system.

On procède ensuite à une découpe de la porte obtenue pour séparer de celle-ci un ou des panneaux décoratifs au niveau des endroits où ont été formées les zones de forme décorative, cette découpe formant des ouvertures correspondantes dans la porte. Enfin, on réinstalle à l'aide de moulures dans les ouvertures, les panneaux décoratifs qui ont préalablement été découpés de la même porte ou d'une autre porte de même forme et dimension. Alternativement, on peut substituer à au moins un des panneaux décoratifs un cadre de fenêtre et installer ce cadre de fenêtre avec les mêmes moulures dans l'ouverture correspondante découpée dans la porte.
