Patent CA-2492608-C (CA)
Inventor: KIMMINAU STEPHEN
IPC: E21B47/00
Filed: 2003-07-08
Granted: 2009-05-26
Abstract: A system and method including a sensors (28, 32) deployed in a wellbore (10), the sensors measuring various downhole parameters. The system retrieves the relevant data from the sensors, validates the data, conditions the data, and analyzes the data to diagnose the wellbore and the reservoir (14) to indicate trends therein. The system has the capability of enabling the characterization of the wellbore and reservoir by being linked to well test analysis tools. The system also has a screening analysis that is much less time consuming than well test analysis tools and that indicates to a user which wellbore and/or reservoirs should be subjected to the more robust and time consuming well test analysis tool.

Title: Improved apparatus for attaching semi-trailers to railcars
Inventor: ENGLE THOMAS
IPC: B61G5/00
Filed: 2005-02-25
Granted: 2012-01-03
Abstract: An improvement to a collapsible stanchion on a railcar for supporting semi- trailers thereon. The improvement consists of a linkage which is activated by the pulling of a handle away from the stanchion during the operation of raising it from a resting position to an upright position. The linkage exerts a force on a diagonal support member of the stanchion to urge it into a position where the stanchion's locking mechanism may be engaged to lock the stanchion in an upright position.

Title: Method of forming an inlaid pattern in an asphalt surface
Inventor: WILEY PATRICK CARL
IPC: E01C23/02
Filed: 2002-12-03
Granted: 2010-08-31
Abstract: This application relates to a method of forming an inlaid pattern in an asphalt surface. The pattern may be selected for functional or decorative purposes. In one embodiment the method comprises the steps of providing a first template having a predetermined pattern; impressing the first template into the asphalt surface when the asphalt surface is in a pliable state to form an impression therein; removing the first template from the asphalt surface to expose the impression; providing a second template having a predetermined pattern matching the pattern of the first template; inserting the second template into the impression; and fixing the second template in position within the impression to form the inlaid pattern. The second template may consist of a preformed thermoplastic grid having a color and/or texture contrasting with the asphalt surface. In another embodiment the second template may include a light source for illuminating the template after it has been fixed in position. A heating method is described for gradually heating large asphalt surfaces using a reciprocating bank of infrared heaters to thermally fix the thermoplastic grid in place.      The heating method permits direct visual monitoring of the work site to achieve optimum thermoplastic adhesion to the asphalt substrate.

Abstract: A room built on a floor platform with pre-fabricated metallic sockets and comprising of four folding walls and two separate roof planks with pre- fabricated metallic sockets that sit on top of the four walls when the walls are fully erect. The two side walls fold onto the floor platform with the top edges of the two side walls touching each other or the two side walls sitting on top of each other when in a fully folded position and when fully folded onto the floor platform and the front and the back wall of the room sit on raised bases that sit on top of the floor platform and the front and the back walls fold on top of the side walls when the two side walls sit folded onto the floor platform. The bases of the two side walls are attached to the floor platform via hinges placed at the bottom of each wall and the hinges make it possible for the walls to fold onto the floor platform. The front and the back walls are attached to their raised bases at the bottom via hinges that make it possible for the front and the back wall to fold on top of the two side walls when the two side walls are sitting fully folded on to the floor platform. The roof planks sit on top of the four erect walls and they are tied to each other via pre-fabricated metallic sockets with screws and the top ends of metallic rods. The roof planks are tethered to the floor platform of the room via metallic rods. Each metallic rod is tethered to each roof panel via multiple pre-installed and pre-fabricated sockets. The slip-on bracket that "slips" onto the joints where each wall meets the other wall puts and keeps the walls into place and makes the room structure air and water-proof. A water--proofing guard sits on top of the joint of the two roof planks and makes the roof water tight and weather proof.

Le système modifie également le flux cible sur la base d'une détermination que le patient est en train de subir un événement de trouble respiratoire au cours du sommeil. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le système détermine un temps de détection d'apnée (Tapnea) comme un Tinspplus une constante, et administre une respiration déclenchée par la machine si une quantité calculée depuis le début de l'inspiration atteint Tapnea. Dans encore un autre mode de réalisation, le système surveille la caractéristique pendant une phase d'inspiration du cycle respiratoire, et règle le flux de gaz pendant la phase d'inspiration du cycle respiratoire sur la base du résultat de la comparaison.
