Patent CA-2138048-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LECLERC DENYS F
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 1993-07-06
Abstract: A direct monitoring and control method is provided for on-line measurement of effective alkali, carbonate, sulfate and thio-sulfate concentrations in process liquors for the production of kraft pulp. The control method eliminates frequent sampling, and the need for frequent equipment maintenance. The method includes the steps of withdrawing samples of a liquor from the kraft manufacturing process, subjecting the samples to infrared spectrophotometry at predetermined wave numbers to produce peak-absorbance measurements relative to a background spectrum of water, determining peak absorbance for different alkali concentrations, correlating relationships between the peak-absorbance measurements of samples with the peak absorbance for different alkali concentrations to determine optimum effective alkali in the samples, and controlling at least one process parameter to obtain effective alkali of the liquor.

Patent CA-2159384-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FREEDMAN BARRY H
IPC: H04M15/00
Filed: 1995-09-28
Abstract: When a collect call is initiated by a calling party, and the call is routed to an operator services position, an automated attendant, or other system in the telephone network. In addition to playing an announcement to the called party to determine if he or she will accept the call, information is furnished to the called party, preferably by an announcement, indicating (a) the anticipated cost for the call, and, optionally, (b) the relative cost of the call, as compared to the cost that would be imposed if another carrier carried the call.   This information may be obtained using the dialed number andinformation identifying the calling party location, and by querying a database containing (a)rate information, and optionally (b) comparative information setting forth the rates of different carriers offering collect call service in the same calling area. The invention can be practiced in an automated attendant, sometimes referred to as an interactive telecommunications services platform, which may be part of (a) a switch in a local exchange network, or (b) a switch in an interexchange (long distance) network. The collect calls may be originated by dialing a 0+ call, or by calling a predetermined 800 number such as 1-800-CALL ATT.
Patent CA-2159659-A1 (CA)
Title: Torque anchor
Inventor: GARAY THOMAS WILLIAM
IPC: E21B33/10
Filed: 1995-10-02
Abstract: A Torque anchor for the purpose of anchoring well equipment within a well conduit. The device anchors the well equipment from rotation in one direction but allows rotation in the other. The device has a body with slips and a driving portion within the slip. The slip has a friction surface which slides against the well conduit. This prevents damage to the gripping teeth or the well conduit. The slip has a gripping teeth portion which engages the well conduit only when the anchor is set. The slip is urged outward by the use of a spring. A portion of the slip is the drive surface which engages the driving portion. This drive surface is such that the perpendicular distance from the drive surface to the outer edge of the gripping teeth increases along the slip in the direction away from the friction surface. The slip has a portion which retains the slip within the anchor and thereby does not require any retaining means. The slip has a portion which abuts against the driving portion to allow rotation in the opposite direction. The anchor is set by rotation and is released by rotation in the opposite direction.
