Patent CA-2339296-C (CA)
Title: Accessory device for nail and staple guns
Inventor: DICKHAUT JOHN
IPC: B25C7/00
Filed: 2001-03-02
Granted: 2006-05-09
Abstract: An accessory device for fastener-driving tools such as nail and staple guns is provided. The device serves as a positioning guide for the tool and is designed to provide sufficient spacing and orientation between the fastener-driving tool and the target construction material. The device can be integrated into the beady of the fastener-driving tool, manufactured as an attachment or manufactured as a separate tool. It prevents impact marring at the visible surface of the construction material by redirecting the force of the blow to a non-visible surface on the assembled construction material. Furthermore it increases speed and ease of movement for the user by serving as a guide for stability and ease of alignment. The device changes the impact point between the driving tool and the construction material, broadens the area of impact and protects the top edge of a tongue and groove construction material from impact damage.

Abstract: An anode of a cell for the electrowinning of aluminium comprises a low-carbo n high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel body or layer whose surface is oxidised to form a coherent and adherent outer iron oxide- based layer the surface of which is electrochemically active for the evolution of oxygen. The iron oxide-based layer has a low solubility in the molten electrolyte. During use, the thickness of the iron oxide-based layer is such as to reduce or prevent diffusion of oxygen from the electrochemically active surface into the steel body or layer. During cell operation, the anode may be maintained dimensionally stab le by saturating the electrolyte with anode constituents.

Abstract: An actuator for use with a lift truck having an extendible mast includes an elongated housing and an axial bore formed in said housing. The bore has a first end and a second end A ram is slidably and sealingly mounted in the bore for axial movement between an extended position and a retracted position, and has one end disposed in the bore and an opposing end extending out of the bore second end. A pressure ring is slidably and sealingly mounted in the bore between the ram one end and the bore second end, wherein filling the bore with a fluid causes the ram to move from the retracted position toward the extended position, and engagement of the ram one end with the pressure ring traps fluid between the pressure ring and the bore second end to resist movement of the ram toward the extended position. In a preferred embodiment the ram one end includes a piston plug body with an axial piston plug bore formed in the piston plug body. The piston plug bore has a first end and a second end, and the piston plug bore first end is in fluid communication with the bore formed in said housing. A piston is slidably and sealingly mounted in the piston plug bore, and has an end extending out of the piston plug bore second end toward the first end of the bore formed in said housing. An accumulator biasing member urges the piston away from the piston plug bore second end.

Title: Method and device for determining separation and relative speed of a distant object
Inventor: MENDE RALPH
IPC: G01S13/931
Filed: 2001-10-10
Granted: 2010-07-27
Abstract: The determination of separation (R) and relative speed (v) of at least one object which is distant from an observation point can be achieved by sending electromagnetic signals from the observation point, with a frequency shift over a modulation range (f~Sweep), in the form of signal segments (A, B) during a measuring interval, with a frequency separation (f~Shift) from each other which are transmitted alternately, the echo signals from which are detected after reflecting from the object. The phase difference (.DELTA..phi.) of the echo signals arising from each signal segment (A, B) is detected. Said determination occurs with short reaction time and high precision whereby the signal segments (A, B) are transmitted with a stepwise shift each time by a frequency step (f~Incr) over the modulation range (f~Sweep) and at least one sampled value for determination of the phase difference ((.DELTA..phi.) for each signal segment is taken.
