Patent CA-2726218-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DIGMANN CHARLES J
IPC: B65G69/00
Filed: 2009-05-01
Abstract: Head curtains for dock.shelters or dock seals are disclosed. An example head curtain assembly for a vehicle loading dock includes a retractable curtain (22) stiffened by a resiliently compressible foam panel (34) that is more flexible about a horizontal axis than about a vertical axis. The difference in directional flexibility can be created by sewing the foam panel (34) to a pliable cover (38) using a series of parallel horizontal thread lines. The thread lines create in the foam a series of compressed indentations (36) that run horizontally across the curtain (22) so that the curtain (22) tends to bend more easily along those lines. The relative stiffness in the horizontal direction enables the curtain (22) to exert an appreciable sealing force against two lateral dock seal members, and the vertical flexibility makes the curtain (22) easy to retract to accommodate vehicles of various heights. Touch-and-hold (60, 62, 66, 68, 70, 74) fasteners make many of the individual components of the head curtain readily replaceable.

Abstract: The invention relates to a synchronization method for a wireless link between a base station and a mobile cassette of an X-ray system. The base station comprises an X-ray generator and the cassette comprises an X-ray detector. According to the invention, the method comprises steps (22b, 25b) for the exchange of messages between the base station and the cassette, the exchanges initiating (25a, 29) timers in the base station and the cassette, a radiation sequence and an image sequence being executed (30, 26) at the end of the respective timers.   The invention makes it possible to subject a patient to a dose of Xrays only if said dose can be perceived and recorded by the X-ray detector, the radiation sequence being executed after the exchanges of messages.

Abstract: Techniques for utilizing multiple carriers to substantially improve transmission capacity are described. For multi-carrier operation, a terminal receives an assignment of multiple forward link (FL) carriers and at least one reverse link (RL) carrier. The carriers may be arranged in at least one group, with each group including at least one FL carrier and one RL carrier. The terminal may receive packets on the FL carrier(s) in each group and may send acknowledgements for the received packets via the RL carrier in that group. The terminal may send channel quality indication (CQI) reports for the FL carrier(s) in each group via the RL carrier in that group. The terminal may also transmit data on the RL carrier(s). The terminal may send designated RL signaling (e.g., to originate a call) on a primary RL carrier and may receive designated FL signaling (e.g., for call setup) on a primary FL carrier.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for treating tumors and cancer cells by administering an immunocytokine following radiation treatment. This combination of treatments can stimulate an immune response at irradiated and non-irradiated sites, which is useful in eradicating cancer cells that have spread from the site of the primary tumor. In addition, immunocytokines can be administered at a dose that is less that the maximum tolerated dose, which reduces the side effects associated with immunocytokine therapy.

Abstract: The automatic bag opening and slitting machine has a spike star wheels assembly comprising either of one or a combination of star wheels or cylindroid drum like object. The star wheels assembly is provided with spikes which convey a bag, impaled on the spikes when in an extended position, and extends beneath rotary cutting disks driven by two independent pneumatic or electric motors, that may make a continuous cut around three sides of the bag, so that after cutting thereof, the bag comprises two halves joined only at the rear or trailing side of the bag. These two bag halves are unfolded as one half of the bag engaged by the spikes is drawn around the upstream end of the star wheels assembly, while the other half slides over the rocker arm/bag separation bar/slide guide bar, thus emptying the powder/granular content of the bag into a hopper and releasing the emptied bag by retraction of the spikes from the bag for collection therebelow into a chute, for disposal into an endless screw which extrudes the bag into a compaction tube. The compacted bags are thereafter pushed into a waste plastic bag for refuse disposal.

Abstract: A method of hydraulic fracturing of an oil producing formation includes the provision of a heating apparatus which is transportable and that has a vessel for containing water. The method contemplates heating the water up to a temperature of about 200° F (93.3 °C). A water stream of cool or cold water is transmitted from a source to a mixer, the cool water stream being at ambient temperature. The mixer has an inlet that receives cool or cold water from the source and an outlet that enables a discharge of a mix of cool or cold water and the hot water. After mixing in the mixer, the water assumes a temperature that is suitable for mixing with chemicals that are used in the fracturing process, such as a temperature of about 40°-120 °F+ (4.4 - 48.9 °C+). An outlet discharges a mix of the cool and hot water to surge tanks or to mixing tanks. In the mixing tanks, a proppant and an optional selected chemical or chemicals are added to the water which has been warmed. From the mixing tanks, the water with proppant and optional chemicals is injected into the well for part of the hydraulic fracturing operation. The mixer preferably employs lateral fittings that enable heated water to enter the mixer bore at an acute angle. The mixer can also provide a lateral fitting that exits the mixer bore upstream of the first lateral fitting, the second lateral fitting transmitting water via a conduit such as a hose to the heater.

Title: Multi-purpose float equipment and method
Inventor: MUSSELWHITE JEFFREY D
IPC: E21B34/14
Filed: 2001-03-12
Abstract: A float shoe/collar apparatus and method is disclosed for multi-purpose use in running a tubular string such as a casing string or liner into a wellbore and for optimizing cementing operations. In one presently preferred eMbodiment, the present invention permits auto filling of the tubular string as the string is lowered into the wellbore.  If desired, circulation can be effected through down jets for washing the wellbore as necessary. After the tubular string is positioned, the down jets can be blocked off and up jets opened to thereby direct cement upwardly to optimize cement placement. Check valves can also be activated in accord with the present invention to prevent flow from the wellbore into the tubular string. In one embodiment, the invention comprises an inner member and an outer tubular member.  The inner member is movable upon release of shear pins to cause longitudinal movement relative to the outer member. The movement of the inner member may close a plurality of downward jets and may also open a plurality of upward jets if desired. The apparatus may also be equipped with a set of check valves which can be held open on run in, and subsequently activated to thereby automatically close upon cementing to prevent "u-tubing"  of fluid back into the casing.
