Abstract: On prépare des herbicides présentant une sélectivité pour des récoltes en mélangeant un premier constituant herbicide non sélectif sélectionné dans glyphosate, glyphosine, bialaphos et glufosinate avec un deuxième constituant sélectionné dans des dérivés d'acide phosphoreux, des chitosans, des sels métalliques de phosphate d'isopropyle, des sels métalliques d'acides organiques, entre autres, et, si nécessaire, avec un troisième constituant, tel qu'un fongicide. Grâce au deuxième constituant, ces herbicides ne détruisent pas totalement les mauvaises herbes malgré l'action du constituant herbicide non sélectif mais peuvent retarder la croissance de ces mauvaises herbes, de sorte que ces herbicides peuvent être appliqués sur des pentes et utilisés en tant qu'herbicides sélectifs dont la détérioration chimique est limitée à des récoltes utiles.

Patent CA-2291301-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CABOT BERNARD
IPC: E21B17/08
Filed: 1999-11-30
Abstract: It is common practice to rotate casing in shallow holes (to approx. 1000m).    This has been found to noticeably enhance the bond between the casing and cement thereby decreasing the chance of microchannelling along the casing string. The rotating casing assembly and method, as described herein, allows for rotation of the casing at any depth. Only the lower portion is rotated.  This lower portion is generally that portion crossing the production zone. This method is extremely economical compared to other methods and requires no additional rig time or surface equipment. The casing is driven to rotate by the energy of the fluid being pumped through the casing.

Title: Fuel cell device
Inventor: OHARA HIDEO
IPC: H01M8/10
Filed: 1999-12-07
Abstract: A fuel cell device, wherein, after an output voltage from a main body of a fuel cell is converted using a converter, the relation between the resultant predetermined output voltage V 1 and an output voltage V 2 from a secondary battery is so set as to satisfy V 1 > V 2. When, at the time of a sudden change of an external load, the output voltage V from the main body of the fuel cell becomes lower than a predetermined voltage V 3, an output to a charge controlling unit is stopped. When the output voltage V from the main body of the fuel cell is lowered even further and becomes lower than a predetermined voltage V 4, an output to an auxiliary device, which is necessary for driving the fuel cell device, is switched from the output from the converter to the output from the secondary battery.

Abstract: Portable device (100) may be carried about by an operator within a prescribed area which contains one or more inventoried objects such as units of lumber (10). Within this area, the current location of both the units of lumber (10) and device (100) are constantly monitored by tracking computer system (80). As device (100) is carried about within the prescribed area, at any time it may be pointed at any unit (10) which is of interest to the operator. Device (100) will then employ distance measurement unit (108) to determine the distance between observation point (120) and projected spot (121). Once calculated, the location of spot (121) is then compared to the last known location of all surfaces of lumber units to determine which unit is currently being "spotted". All information is then communicated by device (100) via antenna (107) to stacking system (80).

Title: Off-the-road tire temperature and pressure monitoring system
Inventor: PRIDAY MELVIN M
IPC: B60C23/20
Filed: 2000-06-09
Abstract: A tire pressure and temperature measurement system adapts a Y-block (30) to an existing valve stem (20). One branch (44) of the Y-block accepts a conventional valve core (42) and another branch (38) accepts a flexible tubular temperature sensor (36) that leads "down the throat" of the existing valve stem and into the interior of a tire (14, 18). A second embodiment is adapted for use on inside dual tires (18).  Making a measurement entails attaching a pressure sensor (40) to the valve stem and attaching a hand-held processor (112) to the sensors. The hand-held processor reads the current tire pressure and temperature; executes a program (Eqs. 1-6) that accounts for measured and target temperatures, vapor pressures, and gas compressibility; and indicates how much pressure to add or subtract to the tire to achieve an accurate final tire operating pressure. In third and fourth embodiments, respective spherical (70) and U-shaped channel (120) protective housings enclosing pressure and temperature sensors (72), a controller 76, and a data transceiver (74) are loosely placed or attached by magnets (122) within the interior of a tire (126). A remote measurement system (80) receives at another data transceiver (108) pressure and temperature data transmitted from inside the tire while the vehicle is moving and conveys the data to a processor (112) for executing the above-described program.

Patent CA-2312722-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for cancelling echo originating from a mobile terminal
Inventor: TRUMP TONU
IPC: H04M1/58
Filed: 1998-11-27
Abstract: A novel method and apparatus are disclosed for cancelling echoes originating from a digital mobile handset using an echo canceller (10) located in the network. The method and apparatus thus solve a practical echo problem that many mobile telephone operators have long been faced with. The method includes an algorithm that differs significantly from a conventional network echo canceller algorithm, because of the following basic considerations that influenced a solution to the echo problem: (I) the algorithm should not worsen speech quality for digital mobiles that do not generate echoes (30); and (2) the echo path is non-linear due to two speech coder/decoder pairs in the echo path and a low echo level (38).
