Patent CA-2417071-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HUTCHINSON CARL
IPC: H05K3/24
Filed: 2001-09-21
Abstract: Known methods of improving the solderability of copper surfaces on printed circuit boards present the disadvantage that outer layers of an irregular thickness are formed at the metal surfaces, that these layers are very expensive or that the constituents used in manufacturing them are harmful to the environment. Furthermore, the metal surfaces are to be suited to form bond connections as well as electrical contacts. To overcome these problems there are disclosed a bath and a metho of elctroless plating of silver by way of charge exchange reaction on surfaces of metals that are less noble than silver, more particularly on copper, that contain at least one silver halide complex and not containing any reducing agent for AG+ ions.

Title: Tilt mechanism for a transfer rail in a press transfer system
Inventor: LAING RONALD
IPC: B21D43/05
Filed: 2003-03-21
Abstract: A tilt mechanism for a transfer rail that is used to support a plurality of grippers for engaging and moving workpieces between a series of spaced apart work stations in a linear transfer press. The transfer rail forms part of a press transfer system of the type having a drive mechanism to impart three dimensional movement to the transfer rail. The tilt mechanism comprises at least one connector and at least one actuator.  The connector secures the transfer rail to the drive mechanism and permits three dimensional movement of the transfer rail. The connector also permits the transfer rail to be rotated, relative to the drive mechanism, about its longitudinal axis. The actuator is connected to both the drive mechanism and the transfer rail and causes the transfer rail to be rotated between a position where it supports the grippers in an orientation where they generally extend toward the work stations to a position where it supports the grippers in a plane that is generally perpendicular to the direction of movement of said workpieces between said work stations.

Title: Systeme d'echantillonnage permettant les prelevements de liquides sans ouverture du contenant
Inventor: MORNEAU JOSEPH GILLES
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2003-10-24
Abstract: Sur un contenant qui sert à transporter, entreposer et aussi à préserver la qualité microbiologique d'un liquide, on sait que l'on utilise des bouchons qui, lorsque scellés, empêchent l'air de pénétrer et d'altérer le produit liquide qu'on y a incorporé. Lorsqu'un échantillonnage doit être effectué, on se doit d'ouvrir le bouchon , ce qui, malencontreusement, laisse l'air entrer en contact avec le liquide. Pour y mettre fin, on replace le bouchon le plus rapidement possible. Cependant, le dommage est fa it et le liquide est dès lors contaminé par l'air et débute ainsi le processus d'oxydation et autres phénomènes qu'amènent les bactéries transportées par l'air. Dans la présente invention, nous joignons spécifiquement au contenant un système d'échantillonnage qui permet d'effectuer une prise d'échantillon du liquide d'une manière qui évite la contamination du liquide par l'air ambiant. Un tel système permet de protéger le liquide de toute contamination bactérienne par le contact de l'air, et de maintenir l'effet de la stérilisation obtenue lorsqu e le liquide est versé dans le contenant à une température élevée (cette haute température du liquide est ce qui permet de détruire les bactéries qui se retrouvent dans l'air qui demeure dans le baril). Le système d'échantillonnage a la qualité de s'adapter sur tous types de contenants, qu'il soient en plastique, en métal ou en acier inoxydable.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for forming confectionery products into desired shapes. In an embodiment; the ingredients of a confectionery product, such as a bubble gum, are blended together. The ingredients are mixed, cooled and then formed into traditional center pieces.  Next, the center pieces are fed into an underwater pelletizer (16). The underwater pelletizer cuts the extruded confectionery pieces into miniature products. A recirculating supply of water immediately sweeps away the miniature products from the pelletizer, cools the products and transport the products to a centrifugal dryer (36). The centrifugal dryer separates the miniature products from the circulating water. The separated miniature products are immediately dusted with an anti-agglomerating compound. Finally, the product is coated or otherwise packaged for consumption.

Abstract: The present invention relates to downhole apparatus and particularly but not exclusively, to multi-cycle circulating subs used during downhole drilling operations. Apparatus is provided comprising a piston (42) slidably mounted in a body (4) between positions in which at least one aperture (40) in the body is opened and closed. Movement of the piston (42) is controlled by a pin (86) secured to one of the body and a control member, and a control groove (52) in which a portion of the pin is received formed in the other of the body and control member. An arrangement of elements (32, 76) respectively connected to the control member and body is such that, as the control member moves axially, increasing lengths of said elements locate adjacent one another so as to provide resistance to relative rotation in at least one direction of the control member and body. The relative rotation is rotation which presses the control member against the control groove. The present invention thereby provides means by which the risk of damage to the control pin is reduced.
