Patent CA-2515274-C (CA)
Inventor: ANDERSON JONATHAN
IPC: B60S9/12
Filed: 2005-08-05
Granted: 2007-10-16
Abstract: A vehicle restraint for a loading dock employs spring force to urge the restraint's barrier up and back against a truck's rear ICC bar, whereby the spring loaded barrier accommodates both horizontal and vertical float of the bar as the truck is loaded or unloaded of its cargo. While spring force urges the barrier up and back, hydraulic force can move the barrier selectively down and forward. The restraint includes a positive mechanical stop that limits the distance that the truck can move away from the face of the dock. The restraint is particularly suited for mounting within a pit underneath a dock leveler.

Abstract: A computerized password verification system and associated method is disclosed for discreet recognition and reporting of a duress transaction being imposed upon a user at an ATM or other remote cash-dispensing terminal. The inventive system utilizes conventional ATM hardware including a card reader, keypad and display together with its associated operating and communications software required for transaction processing, and further comprises the programmed generation and display screen of a list of transaction acceptance passwords (TAPs) with a prompt to the user for a TAP selection to confirm the validity of the immediate transaction. The prompted display of the TAP list appears following the initial acceptance of the user's personal identification number (PIN) and requires the ATM user to select the TAP from the list that is currently registered to the user. While selection of the user's current TAP  from the prompted list verifies the immediate transaction, the selection of any other TAP from the displayed list would constitute a "panic" TAP that triggers the generation of a silent alert signal to the authorities.

Inventor: HARRELSON GLEN R
IPC: B65D5/468
Filed: 2004-02-19
Granted: 2009-09-29
Abstract: L'invention concerne un carton portant une pluralité de canettes dont au moins trois rangées ayant un rabat de distribution que l'on peut facilement retiré de l'extrémité du carton afin d'exposer le distributeur présentant une partie inférieure dont le poids du panneau inférieur suffit à éviter que les conteneurs dans la rangée inférieure ne roulent mais dont la hauteur ne dépasse pas le diamètre d'un conteneur dans la rangée inférieure. Le haut du distributeur se trouve à une hauteur depuis le panneau inférieur égale au diamètre d'une canette contenue dans le carton plus la distance sensiblement inférieure au diamètre d'une canette. Une telle hauteur suffisant à éviter qu'un conteneur au milieu de la rangée ne roule automatiquement du distributeur lors de son ouverture, sans pour autant empêcher qu'une personne ne retire le conteneur du milieu de la rangée adjacent au distributeur.

Title: Controlled thermal expansion of welds to enhance toughness
Inventor: BRANAGAN DANIEL JAMES
IPC: C23C4/06
Filed: 2004-04-01
Granted: 2010-02-09
Abstract: A method is provided for forming a metallic overlay having enhanced toughness.  The metallic overlay may be a weld, a metallic coating, or similar application. The method includes applying a glass forming metallic alloy to a substrate while the alloy is in a molten or semi-molten state. At the interface of the metallic alloy overlay and the substrate the substrate metal becomes at least partially molten and combines with the alloy to form metallurgical bonds. When the metallic alloy cools it experiences a high relative degree of thermal contraction. The metallurgical bonds between the substrate and the alloy constrain the contraction of the alloy at the interface with the substrate. This results in the inducement of compressive stresses in the metallic alloy overlay. The induced compressive stresses inhibit the formation of cracks in the overlay and/or mitigation of the effects of any cracks in the overlay.

Abstract: La présente concerne une disposition améliorée circulaire de structure de coque. La coque est divisée en sections par des plates-formes étanches. Les plates-formes sont raidies avec des angles ou des cornières à boudin incurvées pour former des cercles concentriques qui sont à leur tour soutenus par des poutres radiales espacées autour des plates-formes et s'étendant entre les coques intérieures et extérieures. Dans chaque section, les poutres longitudinales espacées radialement autour de l'intérieur de la coque extérieure se terminent aux plates-formes et attachent celles-ci sans les pénétrer. Les poutres longitudinales sont attachées aux plates-formes alignées avec les emplacements des poutres radiales qui s'étendent au travers des plates-formes vers les coques intérieures et extérieures. Un arrangement de panneaux raidisseurs sur la circonférence intérieure de la coque extérieure est fixé à ladite coque extérieure et aux poutres longitudinales. Les poutres longitudinales espacées autour de la circonférence extérieure de la coque intérieure s'étendent sur la longueur de la coque intérieure et sont fixées aux poutres radiales. Avec les poutres longitudinales intérieure et extérieure reliées aux poutres radiales, des charpentes résistantes aux moments sont créées et sont disposées radialement dans chaque compartiment. Ces charpentes raidissent les poutres individuelles et équilibrent les charges axiales différentielles dans les surfaces des coques intérieure et extérieure. Les compartiments sont assemblés en sections dans une orientation verticale pour minimiser la déformation due à leur propre poids lors de l'érection et pour offrir un accès direct aux grues du chantier lors de l'assemblage des sections entières. Les sections terminées sont pivotées à l'horizontale pour être jointes aux autres sections pour former un cylindre complet.

Abstract: An annular sealing element (12) to seal between metal surfaces for use in flanges, joints, packers and the like, located in oil and gas exploration and production equipment. The sealing element has inner and outer metal deformable surfaces (20, 22) joined at ends (24, 26), defining an interior volume (30) which is entirely filled with a plastic deformable material (28). The surfaces are arranged such that on compression of the element (12) from the ends (24, 26), the element will deform in a controlled manner on a cantilever principle.  The volume of filler (28) and the interior volume (30) remain substantially equal during compression so that delamination does not occur. Thus the sealing element provides a seal combining the flexibility of elastomer seals with the integrity of a metal to metal seal.

Abstract: The present invention determines the resonant frequency of a sensor by adjusting the phase and frequency of an energizing signal until the frequency of the energizing signal matches the resonant frequency of the sensor. The system energizes the sensor with a low duty cycle, gated burst of RF energy having a predetermined frequency or set of frequencies and a predetermined amplitude. The energizing signal is coupled to the sensor via magnetic coupling and induces a current in the sensor which oscillates at the resonant frequency of the sensor. The system receives the ring down response of the sensor via magnetic coupling and determines the resonant frequency of the sensor, which is used to calculate the measured physical parameter. The system uses a pair of phase locked loops to adjust the phase and the frequency of the energizing signal.

Abstract: The modular transmission uses only a pair of small and light hydraulic machines of remarkably improved volumetric efficiency with pistons having body portions substantially as long as the axial length of the respective cylinders in which they reciprocate. The two hydraulic machines operate in a closed loop, one being used as a pump driven by the vehicle's engine, and the other used as a motor. Each machine has a fully articulatable swash plate. By computer control, the angles of the swash plates of the two machines are infinitely varied to provide an appropriate optimum ratio of engine/wheel speed for all conditions from start-up, city driving, hill climbing varied according to load and steepness, and over-drive for highway. This complete vehicle operation is attained while the vehicle's engine continues to operate at relatively constant speeds and relatively low RPM.
