Title: Method for the thermomechanical treatment of steel
Inventor: BOROWIKOW ALEXANDER
IPC: C21D1/42
Filed: 2004-03-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the thermomechanical treatment of steel.  According to said method, the parent material is heated to a temperature in excess of the re-crystallisation temperature, the structure is austenitised, held at an equalised temperature and then formed and subsequently quenched to form martensite and tempered. Round steel bars, whose re-crystallisation temperature is adjusted over the bar length in a compensation furnace, constitute the parent material. The round steel bars are subsequently re-modelled by cross-rolling, remaining substantially straight and after the critical deformation degree has been exceeded are subjected to dynamic re-crystallisation processes. The round steel bars are then subjected to a post-heating process above the Ac3 temperature, in order to undergo a complete static re-crystallisation and finally are quenched from the austenitic state to form martensite and tempered.

Patent CA-2534007-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BHACHU SHAMSHER S
IPC: B60R19/18
Filed: 2006-01-19
Abstract: Most of the dangerous accidents occur during the head on collisions of vehicles from the front or the rear. The Bumpers are designed to take impact loading but in most of the cases the impact from the bumpers is transmitted to the vehicle body and to the occupants. To reduce the impact on the vehicle body and its occupants various designs of bumpers have been tried out including special materials and flexing of bumpers. Yet the extent of damage to the vehicles and injuries of occupants have not been drastically reduced.   The Enhanced Vehicle Safety Bumper (referred to as ESVB, in short) consists of a double walled Bumper design with compression springs in between. The design, rating, size, selection and number of compression springs is such that the entire impact load transmitted during a collision would be absorbed by the compression springs via the outer bumper wall.  The outer bumper wall would be the first to face the impact load and it would transfer the same to the compression springs. The compression springs are designed to absorb two opposite forces (both the vehicles in the accident) and would compress and deflect under load such that there would be none or minimal load transmission of impact to the inner bumper wall which is attached to the vehicle frame. Thus the collision load/impact is not transmitted to the vehicle body and hence the occupants of the vehicle The above design would cause minimal damage to the vehicle as well as to its occupants during any accident or collision saving immense cost due to vehicle damage or injuries to the occupants of the vehicle.   At this stage only the front and rear bumpers will be designed according to the above scheme.  At a later date the same scheme will be utilized for the sides of the vehicle, keeping aesthetic aspects of the vehicle intact.

Title: Method and system of compounding fiber reinforced thermoplastic
Inventor: SINGH RANJIT K
IPC: C08J5/08
Filed: 2006-03-03
Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for compounding a thermoplastic melt for molding articles, the melt being reinforced with reinforcing fibers. The thermoplastic material is plasticized with an adhesion promoting agent to obtain an initial melt to which the reinforcing fibers are added. The thermoplastic material forms bonds to bond reception sites on the reinforcing fibers to obtain an intermediate melt to which one or more desired additives, such as a colorant, are then added to obtain the final melt. By forming the intermediate melt without the presence of the one or more desire additives, competition between the one or more desired additives and the thermoplastic material for the bond reception sites is prevented, as is damage to the reinforcing fibers from abrasives in the one or more desired additives.  Articles molded with the resulting final melt have improved mechanical properties compared to articles made with prior art methods and systems.
