Patent CA-2363389-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TURCOT PHILIPPE
IPC: B27G13/10
Filed: 2001-11-15
Abstract: CUTTERHEAD WITH REGRINDABLE INSERTS        A rotary cutting tool wherein the positioning of a cutting insert is accomplished via a frontal reference surface instead of a backing reference surface. This is done by modifying the regrindable insert to include a pair of lateral shoulders that must be seated on the reference surface to ensure proper positioning of the insert relative to the cutting tool. The insert is retained against centrifugal dislodgment by the frontal reference surface during rotation of the tool, thereby permitting the latter to be operated at higher rotational speeds. The use of a frontal reference surface also eliminates the need of having to reposition the cutting tool vis-a-vis the workpiece between each sharpening operation of the cutting insert.

Abstract: An online election system (10) has a database of registered voters (16). A  voter accessing the election system (10) through a host server (12) and user interface (13, 14) verifies themselves by providing security information such as a unique identifier and password. The voter is then presented with a list of candidates and is prompted to indicate their vote which is then submitted to the server (12). Confidentiality of a vote is ensured because all voter identification is removed from the vote when the vote is received at the host server (12) and before the vote is stored and tallied. The privacy of the vote is further enhanced by encrypting communications between the host server (12) and the user interface (13, 14).

IPC: C11D3/02
Filed: 2000-10-13
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de nettoyage très économique de pièces à travailler recouvertes de savons solubles dans l'eau, après formage à froid de ces pièces. Le procédé peut être rendu beaucoup plus économique si on utilise une solution nettoyante qui agit de sorte que les anions de savon enlevés forment une phase solide flottante séparée pouvant être facilement écumée de la surface de la solution nettoyante. Une telle séparation permet d'obtenir des intervalles beaucoup plus longs entre deux remplacements de solution nettoyante tout en assurant encore des résultats satisfaisants. Une solution nettoyante préférée pour un tel procédé renferme des hydroxydes, des sels neutres, des cations d'ammonium quaternaire polymère, et un agent séquestrant les contre-ions des anions de savon à nettoyer.

Title: Desulfuration de poudre de nickel
Inventor: LALLENEC SERGE
IPC: C22B1/24
Filed: 2000-10-27
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif servant à désulfurer de la poudre de nickel, dans lesquels la poudre de nickel est chauffée dans une atmosphère contenant de l'hydrogène pour activer la formation de sulfure d'hydrogène gazeux. Le sulfure d'hydrogène gazeux est ensuite éliminé au moyen d'un agent de désulfuration. L'hydrogène est utilisé comme agent de transfert pour transporter le soufre provenant de la poudre de nickel vers un agent de désulfuration approprié. De cette manière, on peut réduire sensiblement la teneur en soufre de la poudre de nickel. Le dispositif (30) comprend un four (32) rotatif dans lequel les gaz de dégagement sont recyclés vers le four par l'intermédiaire d'un filtre (34) adsorbant à H¿2?S. La poudre de nickel est chargée dans le four (32) rotatif par une trémie (35) d'alimentation de poudre de nickel qui préchauffe la poudre avant introduction de celle-ci dans le four. Le four est chauffé indirectement au moyen de gaz naturel. Une soufflante (36) de gaz maintient un flux de gaz contenant de l'hydrogène dans le four rotatif à contre-courant par rapport au sens de transport de la poudre de nickel dans le four. Le filtre (34) incorpore une membrane de filtre faite d'un agent désulfurant non volatil approprié tel que du calcium ou du magnésium métal, ou de l'hydroxyde de calcium, et pouvant être remplacée périodiquement au besoin. La poudre de nickel désulfurée sort du four rotatif (32) par une trémie (42) de décharge dans laquelle la poudre de nickel est partiellement refroidie. La poudre de nickel désulfurée est ensuite chargée dans une machine (44) d'agglomération à chaud qui presse la poudre en petites briquettes. L'invention permet d'améliorer considérablement la production de briquettes de nickel sur spécification.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, on effectue la séparation de gaz par adsorption modulée en pression (AMP) et par adsorption modulée en pression (AMP) sous vide, afin d'obtenir un gaz purifié de la fraction moins fortement adsorbée du mélange gazeux d'alimentation, au moyen d'un appareil comprenant plusieurs adsorbants. Ces adsorbants coopèrent avec des premier et second ensembles soupape, dans un module rotatif d'adsorption modulée en pression, dont le cycle d'adsorption est caractérisé par plusieurs niveaux de pression intermédiaire, se situant entre la pression la plus élevée et la pression la plus base du cycle. Les flux de gaz pénètrent dans le module AMP ou en sortent, à des niveaux de pression intermédiaires, de même qu'au niveau le plus faible et au niveau le plus élevé, dans des conditions sensiblement stables de flux et de pression. Le module AMP comprend un rotor qui contient des adsorbants à base de feuilles stratifiées et tourne dans un stator, les faces des soupapes à lumière, situées entre le rotor et le stator, servant à commander la synchronisation, dans le rotor, des flux pénétrant dans les adsorbants ou en sortant. Le gaz d'alimentation est comprimé avant de pénétrer dans les premiers moyens de soupape, et le gaz d'échappement est évacué vers l'atmosphère soit directement, soit par l'intermédiaire d'une pompe à vide.
