Patent CA-2394668-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BROWN TODD ANTHONY
IPC: F16C33/12
Filed: 2002-07-24
Abstract: A self lubricating bearing and more particularly to a self lubricated bearing which includes a race and a bearing element forming two mating bearing surfaces. For applications in which the bearing may be subjected to environmental conditions that could result in corrosion, one bearing surface may be formed from a corrosion resistant metal, such as stainless steel, while the mating bearing surface is homogeneously formed with the bearing element from a composite material which includes PFTE or Teflon. By homogeneously forming the bearing element from a composite material which includes Teflon, wear of the bearing element will not effect lubrication of the bearing.

Patent CA-2396926-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DUTTA ALOK
IPC: F03G7/08
Filed: 2002-08-20
Abstract: What is the Invention?   This machine will produce electrical energy without any raw material input.  The proposed machine will produce electricity from the impact/ thrust of automotives running on the road. When automotives move on the road, their tires stressed the road surface. The downward component of the moving vehicle is used to produce hydraulic pressure. In the level of road, some plates suitably placed in such a way that the movement of vehicle does not interrupt with the plate. Plates push on the connecting rod that create pressure. This pressure transmitted and transformed to an air reservoir. Compressed air will use to rotate gas turbine. This mechanical energy eventually converted to electrical energy by generator.

Title: Methods and systems for implementing a real-time, distributed, hierarchical data base
Inventor: REAVES JAMES E
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2001-02-14
Abstract: A system for implementing a real-time distributed, hierarchical database uses a proxiable protocol. The system includes a first proxy server (208) for receiving a first proxiable protocol message from a first network element (202). The first proxy server performs a first database lookup based on information contained in the first message. If the first proxy server does not obtain the requested information, the first proxy server formulates a second proxiable protocol message and forwards the message to a second proxy server (210). A second proxy server receives the second message and performs a second database lookup based on information contained in the second message. The second proxy server sends the results from the second database lookup to the first proxy server and the first proxy server forwards the results to the first network element.

Abstract: La technique de l'invention est basée sur la gravure au plasma anisotrope de feuilles de polymère organique partiellement protégées par un masque métallique. L'originalité du procédé de l'invention réside dans le fait qu'il consiste à créer les propriétés de surface par le même moyen physique que celui utilisé pour la fabrication en trois dimensions, en même temps que celle-ci. Les propriétés de surface sont, entre autres, le caractère hydrophobe, caractère hydrophile, le pouvoir réfléchissant, la rugosité et plus précisément l'état chimique et/ou physique de la surface. Il est également possible de générer les fonctionnalités voulues, par exemple l'acide carboxylique, l'ester, l'éther, l'amide ou l'imide, pendant le procédé de gravure. La formation des différentes propriétés peut être assurée par deux techniques différentes pouvant être utilisées séparément ou simultanément.

IPC: B23P6/00
Filed: 2002-09-13
Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for automatically repairing the cracks produced in the member to be repaired. A wide field image is obtained by photographing the whole surface of a blade 31 or the like in a wide field view by a remote camera 11 and the position of cracks on the surface of the blade is obtained as a rough position information of the cracks by processing the image of wide field view. Then, the cracks are photographed in a narrow field view at the predetermined spacing along the cracks based on the rough position information by light section method. The narrow field images are processed to obtain the position, width, and depth of the crack at each predetermined spacing, which compose crack data at the series of points, and the cracks are repaired based on the crack data at the series of points.

Patent CA-2407120-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CREE JAMES W
IPC: B32B7/04
Filed: 2001-05-10
Abstract: A three-dimensional highly elastic film/non-woven composite (10) having a fluid and air impervious core layer (16) and a first and second consolidated layer (12, 14). The consolidated layers (12, 14) have unidirectional and non-unidirectional fibers. The composite (10) is formed by laminating the air and fluid impermeable elastic core layer (16) between the two layers of consolidated non-wovens (12, 14). The resulting composite (10) stretches only in the cross-machine direction due to the unidirectional properties of the consolidated non-woven material. The layers are then point bonded or welded together. Preferably the layers are welded by passing the composite between an ultrasonic horn and an ultrasonic bond roll having raised areas for effecting the weld points. A thin inelastic membrane is formed at each of the weld points. The welded composite (10) may then be pre-stretched to rupture the membranes, thereby creating apertures, which makes the composite permeable.

Inventor: GROZDANOVSKI DEJAN
IPC: B23K26/04
Filed: 2003-03-28
Abstract: The present invention provides a laser processing and autofocusing system that measures the position of the work-piece at the machining spot, to allow the laser processing of work-pieces which are not flat and have surface variations, with the autofocusing system being able to compensate for these variations. During laser machining, it is desirable to keep the laser focus at the same height with respect to the surface of the sample for the best possible machining quality. Not all samples are flat, though, and it thus becomes necessary to map the surface of the sample accurately and to correct the focusing of the laser beam on the fly. The system includes a processing laser beam directed onto the surface at normal incidence and a light line projected onto the surface in the vicinity of the area being machined but at an angle with respect to the surface normal. The focusing optics for the machining laser and light line generator are fixed relative to each other on a positioning stags.  If the work-piece surface deflects up or down, the light line moves correspondingly in the horizontal plane with respect to the laser focal spot. This change is monitored on the imaging system and the change of position is used to drive a controller. A proportional voltage set-point is produced by the electronics for feedback to the controller which uses this voltage reference to move the positioning stage to correct accordingly so the focal point of the processing laser beam is once again positioned at the surface of the work-piece:
