Patent CA-2452020-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARBER MARK W
IPC: B21D26/033
Filed: 2002-07-04
Abstract: A method for expanding tubular blanks (28) includes pre-expanding or initially expanding a section (34) of the tube by forcing a punch (32) into an open end (30) of the tube. The punching process may be repeated to achieve up to approximately 50% expansion from the original configuration of the blank (28).  Then, the same pre-expanded section can be further expanded by hydroforming such that the blank (28) is filled with pressurized fluid to achieve further expansion of the initially expanded section (34) up to approximately 100%  expansion from the original configuration of the blank (28). As a final step, the open end of the expanded tube may be cut to its ultimate shape.

Inventor: MARWOOD DAVID EVERETT
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2002-02-19
Abstract: Currently data transmission over the Internet between two client computers where both client computers are protected by firewalls is problematic, since firewalls block incoming packets. A method is provided for permitting packet based data transmission between a first computer protected by a first NAPT or NAT firewall and a second computer protected by a second NAPT or NAT firewall to traverse the first and the second firewalls. The method includes the first and second computers sending first and second data packets to a designated recipient computer. The designated recipient computer communicates the first external address from the first data packet to the second computer and also communicates the second external address from the second data packet to the first computer. The second computer subsequently sends a data packet to the first external address and the first computer sends a data packet to the second external address.

Title: Toner coated with thin film
Inventor: ETOU KEI
IPC: G03G9/087
Filed: 2003-08-21
Abstract: Satisfactory anti-blocking property of powder toner can be realized, while avoiding increase in softening temperature of the powder toner, by coating the surface of a low melting point powder toner with a thermosetting resin. This leads to the realization of toner fixing at lower temperatures and is particularly effective when using a urea resin as the thermosetting resin or employing polymerized toner as the powder toner. Use of the surface-coated powder toner with a low softening temperature and less blocking tendency makes possible reduction of thermal energy and time required for fusing, thereby realizing energy-saving and high-speed fusing process.
