Patent CA-2500638-A1 (CA)
Title: Dispensing intermediate layers
Inventor: HEDEGAARD JENS
IPC: B65H37/00
Filed: 2003-10-01
Abstract: When stacking stackable items in layers on pallets, intermediate layers of paper/cardboard/film are often used for preventing loss of the items during transport.  Even though the intermediate layers ensure to a large extent that items do not fall off the pallet, it cannot be entirely prevented that some of the stacked items fall off because the stacked items slid on the intermediate layers. Special intermediate layers are known, having a surface coated with non-skid coating which highly counteracts the unwanted sliding of the items in the layers stacked on a pallet. However, the laying of intermediate layers with non-skid surfaces constitutes a problem as the individual pieces of non-skid coated intermediate layer will adhere to each other. Thus, there is provided a method and a sheet dispenser where pieces of intermediate layers are successively dispensed, and where these layers are coated with a non skid coating during dispensing.

Title: Selective culture medium for the isolation and/or detection of species in the streptococcus genus
Inventor: RODRIGUEZ MARTINEZ CLAUDIO
IPC: C12Q1/14
Filed: 2004-01-12
Abstract: The invention relates to microbiology and, in particular, to a selective culture medium for the isolation and detection of species in the Streptococcus genus.

Filed: 2005-11-01
Abstract: A combustion state detecting apparatus is provided for an engine having internal pressure sensor for detecting an internal pressure of a combustion chamber of the engine and crank angle detector for detecting a crank angle of the engine. The apparatus calculates a volume of the combustion chamber based on the crank angle detected by the crank angle detector and estimator for estimating a motoring pressure of the engine in accordance with a calculation equation using the calculated volume. The apparatus adjusts either of the pressure detected by the internal pressure sensor and the pressure estimated by the estimator during a compression stroke of the engine to minimize the error between the detected pressure and the estimated pressure. The apparatus determines a combustion state during a combustion stroke of the engine based on a relation between the pressure adjusted and the other pressure. The apparatus identifies parameters of the calculation equation during a compression stroke of the engine to minimize the error between the pressure detected by the internal pressure sensor and the pressure estimated by the estimator.

Abstract: A re-useable soft form for the concrete slab of a composite action, concrete on cold-formed steel floor, uses commonly available materials, and requires no special components or equipment. The form is comprised of standard plywood sheets and short length 2 × 4 lumber. Only minor steel components are involved. The soft form is fast and simple to build and has dependable strength characteristics for the support of both dead and live loads. The soffit form may be built entirely piece-by-piece "in-situ" on the installed steel channels which function both as part of the soffit farm and permanently as the steel component of the composite action floor. Alternately, modules consisting of two steel channels and the soffit form between them may be pre-assembled and positioned by mechanical equipment, thereby leaving only 50% of the soffit form to be built in-situ. The form stripping procedure is fast, simple, and extraordinarily safe.
