Patent CA-2506886-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEONARD STEPHEN B
IPC: G01F15/06
Filed: 2003-11-21
Abstract: RFID tags attached to a product contain information regarding the product and communicate this information to a reader. This information can include the age of the product, the amount of product left and preparation or care instructions for the product. To record the age of a product, a timer is initiated in the RFID tag. Thereafter, the elapsed time on the timer can be read and displayed by the reader. For other products, the RFID tag can have contacts monitoring the level of remaining product. Once the contacts sense that the amount of product is low, this information can be transmitted and communicated by the reader. Preparation and care instructions are prerecorded on the tag. Instructions can also be communicated between a product and a base, such as a heater.
Patent CA-2507298-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for cooling concrete during curing
Inventor: DANCEY LARRY
IPC: B28B7/42
Filed: 2005-05-13
Abstract: A system and method for cooling a concrete slab to improve curing in hot weather includes a portable liquid cooler. A conduit is connected to the liquid cooler and arranged in proximity to the concrete slab. A pump is operative to circulate liquid from the liquid cooler through the conduit such that Liquid moves from a supply port of the liquid cooler into an input end of the conduit at a supply temperature, moves through the conduit, and moves from an output end of the conduit to a return port of the liquid cooler at a return temperature greater than the supply temperature. Heat is absorbed from the concrete slab and the temperature of the slab is thus reduced compared to a stab in ambient hot weather conditions.

Title: Applying labels on surfaces of various orientations
Inventor: SMITH STEVEN L
IPC: B65C1/02
Filed: 2005-04-25
Abstract: A device and method of using same is provides which includes the use of an apparatus configured to apply labels to parcels moving along a conveyor belt. The apparatus of the present invention includes a support frame, a pair of turntable assemblies, a corresponding pair of arm assemblies, similarly corresponding arm assembly drive motors, a label application head assembly, a label printer/supplier, and a controlling apparatus. The support frame supports the pair of two turntable assemblies. Each of the turntable assemblies supports one of the arm assemblies such that each of the arm assemblies is pivotable about a horizontal axis. Each of the arm assemblies is also movable along its longitudinal axis relative to its respective turntable. The lower ends of arm assemblies are attached together in a hinged connection. At one end of one of the arm assemblies is attached a label application head assembly. This attachment is a pivoting connection that allows for label application to the horizontal or vertical surfaces of parcels passing thereby. The turntable assemblies are not powered, but allow for a relatively free pivoting connection of the arm assemblies relative to the stationary support frame. However, the linear movement of the arm assemblies along their longitudinal axis is powered by corresponding arm assembly drive motors. This linear movement is independently controlled by a controlling apparatus, such that the label application head assembly can be positioned at various desired locations above a conveyor belt or other supporting surface.

Title: Solid state synthesis of lithium-nickel-cobalt-manganese mixed metal oxides for use in lithium ion battery cathode material
Inventor: GOODBRAKE CHRIS J
IPC: C01G45/00
Filed: 2004-10-20
Abstract: Single-phase lithium-transition metal oxide compounds containing cobalt, manganese and nickel can be prepared by wet milling cobalt-, manganese-, nickel- and lithium-containing oxides or oxide precursors to form a finely-divided slurry containing well-distributed cobalt, manganese, nickel and lithium, and heating the slurry to provide a lithium-transition metal oxide compound containing cobalt, manganese and nickel and having a substantially single-phase O3 crystal structure. Wet milling provides significantly shorter milling times than dry milling and appears to promote formation of single-phase lithium-transition metal oxide compounds. The time savings in the wet milling step more than offsets the time that may be required to dry the slurry during the heating step.
