Patent CA-2279597-A1 (CA)
Inventor: THORN DUANE
IPC: F41B13/10
Filed: 1999-08-04
Abstract: A multi-purpose walking stick comprising a shaft, a spike and a blade is herein described. The walking stick further includes an adjustable and detachable shoulder strap and a detachable wrist strap. The shaft is hollow and has an open end, a threaded end and a storage compartment located within the shaft for storing items such as flares, matches, cords, a first aid kit and the like. The tool exists in a first condition wherein the spike is screwed onto the threaded end of the shaft and the knife is screwed into the threaded open end of the shaft. In this arrangement, the tool is used for example as a walking stick or as a lever or fulcrum for providing leverage. If needed as a general purpose or camp knife, the knife may be removed from the open end of the shaft. In the second condition, the knife is screwed onto the threaded end such that the knife extends from the shaft and the spike is fitted into the open end of the shaft. In this arrangement, the blade of the knife extends from the shaft so that the survival tool can be used to keep wild animals at bay or for other uses, for example, for spear fishing or as an extended machete for cutting brush from a distance.

Patent CA-2282508-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RINDELAUB FRANK
IPC: B09B3/00
Filed: 1998-02-17
Abstract: The invention concerns a method of treating in particular household refuse wherein, after conventional preparative measures such as selection, comminution, etc., the fraction of the total refuse containing biodegradable organic dry matter is delivered to an anaerobic fermentation process. Anaerobic fermentation is carried out until all the dry matter is exhausted, degradation rates of the biodegradable organic dry matter (OTSbiol) of 70 % and more being attained. The resultant fermentation residue (34) is subjected to a drying process (9) in which the dry matter portion is increased to at least 90 %. The resultant dry material no longer exhibits any biological activity. The exhaustive anaerobic fermentation process enables a maximum amount of biogas to be produced, its energy content inter alia being sufficient to supply the drying process. As a result of extensive drying, a higher mass reduction is attained than was hitherto possible. A further aspect of the reduction of the problematic refuse portion is the separation of a finegrained fraction (particle size < 15 to 40 mm) (22) which is purified to such an extent of adherent material, in particular organic dry matter, by counterflow washing in a washing unit (39) that inert material with an organic dry matter portion of at most 5 % is produced. In this respect, washing can be carried out using the condensate (36) such that a closed water circuit results.

Abstract: Phase masks which can be used to make both linear and curved gratings of single or multiple submicron pitches, with or without any abrupt quarterwavelength shifts (or gradually varying finer phase shifts) simultaneously on the wafer/substrate. The phase masks are made using direct write electron or ion-beam lithography of two times the required submicron pitches of linear and curved gratings on commercially available .pi. phase-shifting material on a quartz substrate and wet or dry etching of the .pi. phase-shifting material. The phase masks can be used in connection with making multi-wavelength laser diode chips. The laser diodes have a ridge structure with metal shoulders on either side of the ridge. The laser diode chip, with different wavelength lasers, is bonded and interfaced to a novel microwave substrate that allows for high signal-to-noise ratio and low crosstalk. The substrate is packaged in a low loss rugged housing for WDM applications.
