Patent CA-2433491-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STEELMAN RONALD S
IPC: B65H41/00
Filed: 2001-05-17
Abstract: The present invention provides adhesive film removal methods and apparatus. The removal methods and apparatus involve apply tension over the width of the adhesive film (12), thereby removing the film from the substrate (14) along the release line (16) that extends over the width of the film. The methods and apparatus are particularly useful in removing large-scale graphic films from substrates such as truck trailers, vans, walls, signs and other large surfaces. The tension applied to the adhesive film (12) during removal is preferably uniform across the width of the film, thereby reducing the risk of the film tearing or breaking during removal. The release line (16) is advanced during removal along the length of the film (12) until the entire film is removed from the substrate (14).

Title: System for facilitating selection of investments
Inventor: HUNTER BRIAN A
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2002-02-05
Abstract: A tool implemented in a computer system for analyzing the performance of a s et of investment opportunities (Fig. 2). The tool operates in a screening mode whose displayed results permit the user to compare performance of the investment opportunities over time (211) and in a fitting mode whose display ed results permit the user to compare performance of pairs of the investment opportunities with regard to diversity of risk (213). In the screening mode, the investments are compared with regard to a number of different metrics. Included in the metrics is the Hunter Ratio, a pseudo-reliability metric. In the fitting mode, the correlation coefficient and Blend Anxiety of the retur ns of pairs of investment opportunities are measured. The Blend Anxiety is computed using the covariance of the returns. A graphical user interface for the tool permits the user to select investment opportunities, asset classes, benchmarks, kinds of calculations, and periods of time over which the calculations are to be performed (201). The results of both the screening mo de and the fitting mode are displayed to the user in the form of spreadsheets.< /SDOAB>

Title: Folding crate
Inventor: OVERHOLT TRENTON M
IPC: B65D6/18
Filed: 2002-08-19
Abstract: A folding crate (10) or container is provided having a translating hinge arrangement (16) that allows a side wall (14) of the crate to freely translate in a vertical direction when rotated into a folded position. By allowing opposing side walls to move vertically relative to a bottom component (12) of the crate when folded, subsequent overlapping side walls will lay substantially flat and parallel to the bottom component when folded thereon.  This in turn allows the overall height of the crate to be reduced when in the folded position without requiring a specific side wall folding sequence.

Title: Cooling system airflow sensor for a cooking appliance
Inventor: BOYER MARK A
IPC: F24C7/08
Filed: 2004-03-16
Abstract: A cooking appliance includes an oven cavity, one or more heat sources for generating hot oven gases within the oven cavity to perform a cooking operation, a controller and a cooling system. The cooling system includes a fan having a drive shaft upon which is mounted a multi-pole magnet. A Hall effect sensor is positioned adjacent to the magnet and provides pulses to the controller. Using the pulses, the controller calculates a speed of the cooling fan. If, during a cooking operation, the controller determines the fan is not operating, the cooking operation is halted. Likewise, if the controller determines the fan is operating at too low a speed, the cooking operation is halted. In either case, a corresponding fault code is generated and stored within the controller.
