Title: Manually-operated garlic grater
Inventor: TARDIF PIERRE
IPC: A47J43/25
Filed: 2000-11-06
Abstract: Disclosed is a manually-operated garlic grater which is very easy to use and very efficient to grate cloves of garlic. This garlic grater has a casing defining a tubular cavity having a lateral opening. A handle is removably mounted in a rotatable manner onto the casing on top of one end of the tubular cavity. A hollow grating drum is rigidly connected to the handle so as to be rotated therewith. This drum extends within the tubular cavity when the handle is mounted onto the casing and has a cylindrical wall which extends at a short distance away from the inner wall of the tubular cavity. The handle and hollow grating drum altogether form one piece. A base is removably mounted onto the casing on top of the other ends of the tubular cavity. A wiper is rigidly connected to the base. This wiper extending radially within the drum when the base is mounted on the casing and bearing against the cylindrical wall of the drum to wipe the cylindrical wall when the drum is rotated. The base and wiper altogether form another one-piece. A door is pivotally mounted onto the casing so as to be manually foldable onto the lateral opening of the tubular cavity of the casing. This door has an inner surface acting as a pusher to press a glove of garlic to be grated through the lateral opening against the grating drum.  The above grater is interesting in that it is compact in size and made of a few pieces easy to assemble and separate, thereby making its use and cleaning easy to carry out.

Title: One piece molded roof for a vehicle cab
Inventor: FRYK BRUCE KEVIN
IPC: B62D33/06
Filed: 2000-12-12
Abstract: A one piece rotational molded roof for a vehicle cab is provided in which separate inlet and outlet air ducts are molded in the roof. The ducts are formed by molding upper and lower panels that are widely spaced to form the ducts and which are closely spaced about the periphery of the ducts. After a solid surface layer is molded, a second resin charge containing a foaming agent is dropped in the mold. This resin coats interior of the solid surface layer and later foams. The foam expands and extends completely between the closely spaced upper and lower panels of the solid surface layer to seal between the inlet and outlet air ducts. The foam is rigid to strengthen the roof.

Title: Global distributed switch
Inventor: BESHAI MAGED E
IPC: H04L12/931
Filed: 2000-12-28
Abstract: A flexible global distributed switch adapted for wide geographical coverage with an end-to-end capacity that scales to several Petabits per second (Pb/s), while providing grade-of-service and quality-of-service control, is constructed from packet-switching edge modules and channel-switching core modules. The global distributed switch may be used to form a global Internet. The global distributed switch enables simple controls, resulting in scalability and performance advantages due to a significant reduction in the mean number of hops in a path between two edge modules. Traffic is sorted at each ingress edge module according to egress edge module. At least one packet queue is dedicated to each egress edge module.      Harmonious reconfiguration of edge modules and core modules is realized by time counter co-ordination. The global distributed switch can be enlarged from an initial capacity of a few Terabits per second to a capacity of several Petabits per second, and from regional to global coverage.      It can accommodate connections to legacy systems, such as IP-based networks, and provide connections over one or two hops among distant legacy devices, such as routers.

Patent CA-2332083-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SEVERAL EDWARD G
Filed: 2001-01-23
Abstract: A distribution system including a virtual inventory system for supplying multiple products to multiple retailers is provided. The distribution system includes an inventory storage area subdivided into multiple dedicated retailer areas called virtual inventories which store a particular retailer's inventory. An order fulfillment system receives orders form a particular retailer and ships products from the retailer's virtual inventory to the destination directed by the retailer such as to the retailer or to a customer.    An inventory maintenance system maintains product levels within the virtual inventories as required by the needs of the retailer. Retailer needs are determined by at least one of past sales history, gut size sales, and test sales results. The inventory maintenance system re-orders inventory from a supplier or manufacturer when needed. Another aspect of the present invention is a virtual inventory apparatus for managing inventory including a product source providing products to a warehouse in response to inventory orders from the warehouse. The apparatus also includes at least two retail sites for transmitting customer-based orders to the warehouse. The warehouse also includes at least two virtual inventory storage locations, each designated for a specific retail site. Another aspect of the present invention is a method for managing inventory among a product source, a warehouse, and at least one retailer including procuring a product from a product source in response to an inventory order from a warehouse, moving the product to the warehouse and then segmenting the product into at least two virtual inventories, each specifically designated for a retailer. Customer based orders are transmitted from the retailer to the warehouse where the orders are fulfilled from the virtual inventory for that retailer.

Patent CA-2335954-A1 (CA)
Title: Balloon trajectory control system
Inventor: AARON KIM MAYNARD
IPC: B64B1/44
Filed: 1999-06-25
Abstract: A device to provide control of the trajectory of a lighter than air vehicle, such as a balloon, is provided. A lifting device, such as a wing on end, is suspended on a tether well below the balloon to take advantage of the natural variation in winds at different altitudes. The wing can generate a horizontal lift force that can be directed over a wide range of angles. This force is transmitted to the balloon by the tether. Due to this force, the balloon's path is altered depending on the relative sizes of the balloon and the wing. A relatively small amount of power is needed to control the system, possibly with a rudder. As the energy of the wind provides most of the force, the wind's energy does most of the work. The balloon is able to avoid hazards, to reach desired targets, to select convenient landing zones, and to provide other operational advantages. As a result, fewer flights must be terminated early due to an inability to control the trajectory, and it is easier to obtain permission to launch since a planned flight path can be achieved within a greater range of conditions.

Title: Gel point sensor
Inventor: BELOTSERKOVSKY EDWARD
IPC: G01N21/57
Filed: 1999-11-18
Abstract: A comparison of the specular and diffused radiation reflected from a coating can be used in ratio to locate the gel point of the coating, and to monitor coating drying characteristics. This same system may be used to monitor the drying process of the coatings in a lab setting to characterize the drying process, optimize coating quality or optimize mill efficiency. A system implementing the Applicant's method uses a radiation source to illuminate a measurement location on the coating, and then provides a first and second radiation detectors to detect reflected radiation from the coating, originating from the radiation source. One of the radiation detectors is arranged to collect specular radiation. The second detector is arranged to collect only diffused radiation. The ratio of these two values represents information about the location of the gel point for the coating, and coating drying characteristics.

Title: Highly tetrahedral amorphous carbon coating on glass
Inventor: VEERASAMY VIJAYEN S
IPC: C03C17/42
Filed: 2000-05-01
Abstract: A soda inclusive glass substrate is coated with a highly tetrahedral amorphous carbon inclusive layer that is a form of diamond-like carbon (DLC). In certain embodiments, the amorphous carbon layer includes at least about 35 % sp3 carbon-carbon bonds, more preferably at least about 70 %, and most preferably at least about 80 % of the sp3 carbon-carbon bonds. The high density (e.g. greater than or equal to about 2.4 gm/cm3) of the amorphous carbon layer prevents soda from exiting the glass and reacting with water at surface(s) of the glass, thereby minimizing visible stains or (corrosion) on the glass. The high density amorphous carbon layer also may repel water. In some embodiments, the highly tetrahedral amorphous carbon layer is part of a larger DLC coating, while in other embodiments the highly tetrahedral layer forms the entirety of a DLC coating on the substrate.
