Patent CA-2471203-C (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for a contacless electromechanical actuator with coupled electronic motor commutation and output position sensors
Inventor: SEGER ERIC
IPC: H02K29/08
Filed: 2004-06-16
Granted: 2008-09-09
Abstract: An electromechanical actuator includes a brushless motor driving an output shaft through a torque-amplifying geartrain. An integrated motor commutation senso r includes an annular, two-pole magnet rotating with the motor and two ratiometric Hall- effect sensors at right angles around the magnet. The sensor signals are utilized by a process or to compute motor angle over 360 degrees rotation. An integrated output position sensor includes a second annular magnet rotating with the output shaft, and a second pair of Hall-effect sensors providing signals to the processor for computation of output shaft absolute position. The commutation magnet angle is predicted from the output shaft position, and compared to the motor's sensed rotational angle. The difference is used to correct the outpu t shaft sensed angle with improved accuracy proportional to the gear ratio. The processor also provides logic signals to control motor winding current and provide closed-loop contr ol of actuator position.

Abstract: A method of obtaining new formulations based on lutein. The present invention describes a method of preparation of formulations of microcrystalline lutein, particularly in the form of esters, which are resistant to oxidation and are soluble in hydrophilic and/or lipophilic media. For these formulations, the esters of lutein are mixed with antioxidants, vegetable oils and/or organic solvents, and this initial mixture is submitted to various stages depending on the type of final formulation required. These formulations are suitable for direct application as colourants in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics fields. They can also be used as diet supplements.

Abstract: On propose des confiseries molles gonflées séchées ainsi que des méthodes pour leur préparation, confiseries dont l'activité de l'eau est d'environ 0,1 à 0,4 et dont la température de transition vitreuse est inférieure à 20 degrés Celsius. Les confiseries renferment des sucres, un agent moussant et un structurant, idéalement une gélatine dans les deux cas, et un ramollissant dans une proportion de 5 à 15 %. Les ramollissants privilégiés comprennent la glycérine, les polyglycérols et les mélanges de ces deux types de composés. Les confiseries sont gonflées jusqu'à atteindre une densité d'environ 0,1 à 0,5 g/cc. Les confiseries molles gonflées séchées conviennent tout particulièrement comme produit ajouté aux céréales pour enfants prêtes à manger, sous la forme de morceaux pesant environ 0,1 à 2 g chacun. Les morceaux de confiseries gardent leur texture molle au fil du temps sans pour autant humidifier les céréales.

Title: Debris collection systems, vehicles, and methods
Inventor: STRAUSER DANIEL P
IPC: E01H1/05
Filed: 2003-02-13
Granted: 2010-04-13
Abstract: The invention provides debris collection devices that include a debris contacting mechanism, a debris transport mechanism that is configured to receive debris moved by the debris contacting mechanism at an inlet and move such debris towards a debris storage compartment, and a filter and vacuum assembly. The filter and vacuum assembly includes an inlet disposed downstream of the inlet of the transport mechanism and upstream of the debris storage compartment, relative to the path of transported debris. In operation, the filter and vacuum assembly generate a primary air flow that draws the airborne particles into the inlet of the transport mechanism, along a path proximate to the transport mechanism, into the inlet of the filter and vacuum assembly and through a filter located within the filter and vacuum assembly without generating a substantial airflow through the storage compartment. Related debris collection and processing systems and methods also are provided.

Title: Compact slurry preparation system for oil sand
Inventor: CLEMINSON RON
IPC: C10L1/00
Filed: 2004-09-01
Granted: 2010-12-21
Abstract: Staged crushing combined with water addition and mixing is practiced at the mine site to prepare an oil sand slurry ready for hydrotransport. More particularly, as-mined oil sand is crushed to conveyable size (e.g.-24") using a mobile crusher. The pre-crushed ore product is conveyed to a dry ore surge bin. Ore is withdrawn from the bin and elevated to the upper end of a slurry preparation tower having downwardly aligned process components to enable gravity feed. The ore is further crushed in stages to pumpable size (e.g.-4") by a stack of crushers and water is added during comminution. The ore and water are mixed in a mixing box and delivered to a pump box. The surge bin and tower are relocatable. Screening and oversize reject treatment have been eliminated to achieve compactness and enable relocatability.

Granted: 2010-01-12
Abstract: Several embodiments of cutting tips (20, 120, 220, 300, 620, 720, 820)for tools for creating voids in interior body regions are provided. The cutting tips provide for rotational and translational cutting. An actuator mechanism (22, 150, 180A) for deploying a cutting tip converts the rotational movement of a wheel into translational movement of a plunger rod (156). The actuator mechanism provides positive cutting action as the cutting tip is moved from a first, non-deployed position to a second, deployed position and from the second, deployed position to the first, non-deployed position. Methods of creating a void in bone provide one or more mechanical cutting tools that may be used in combination with one or more expandable void-creating structures to form a void of a desired size and configuration.

Abstract: Generally described, under on aspect of the invention, a single unique delivery notice is left at the particular location. However, this notice is "linked" to the parcel(s) that were undeliverable. This can be done by a handheld portable data acquisition device that includes a scanning or reading means, allowing information to be acquired from the delivery notice as well as from the parcels, and stored on the handheld portable data acquisition device. If ten parcels were undeliverable, only one delivery notice is left behind but is "linked" to all ten packages. The intended recipient can then contact the delivery service via the Internet (or other suitable network) or by phone, by using information provided on the delivery notice. By providing the delivery service with unique information from the delivery notice, the intended recipient can get valuable information regarding the undelivered parcels. Such information can include shipper name, how many packages from each shipper, time of attempted delivery, COD status, etc. Arrangements can then be made to have the package(s) redelivered, held at a local operation center, redirected, or returned.

Granted: 2007-07-31
Abstract: A seed tube for an agricultural implement having a seed metering mechanism for uniformly dispensing seeds. The seed tube defined an enclosed curved seed pathway extending between opposite ends of the tube. To promote control over the seeds passing through the tube, the tube has a smooth but decreasing cross-sectional configuration between the ingress and egress ends of the tube. The tube generally includes a front wall, a rear wall and a pair of side walls. The front wall is generally separated into an upper and lower portion. An opening in the front wall, which is provided to receive a monitoring device, is associated with the lower front wall portion. In addition, the lower front wall portion is stepped forward relative to the upper front wall portion. The enclosed seed pathway further includes a narrowed front edge extending in an upward direction from the egress end of the tube along some section of the front wall. The narrowed front edge enhances control over the seeds such that individual seeds passing through the tube and deposited to the ground have equidistant spacings between the seeds on the ground. The stepped forward arrangement for the lower front wall portion also allows a monitoring device to be used without disrupting the flow of seeds in the seed tube.
