Inventor: GRANDIC DRAGAN
IPC: G21C21/00
Filed: 2012-01-16
Abstract: A method of preparing a calandria tube sheet bore for receiving a calandria tube. The method includes the steps of polishing the bore of the calandria tube sheet; and inspecting the bore, wherein the steps of polishing the bore and inspecting the bore are repeated if there are geometric deviations from a uniform engineered surface in the bore that provide a potential leak pathway in the final fabricated joint.
Patent CA-2768219-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JOGIKALMATH GANGADHAR
IPC: D21H17/29
Filed: 2010-08-11
Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for attaching particulate additives to a population of cellulose fibers dispersed in an aqueous solution. The cellulose fibers are treated with an activator that forms complexes with them. The particulate additive is attached to a tether that is capable of interacting with the activator, thereby forming a tether-bearing particulate additive. The tether-bearing particulate additive can be added to the activated suspension of cellulose fibers. The resulting interaction between the tether and the activator forms durable complexes that attach the particulate additive to the cellulose fibers. Using these systems and methods, useful additives like starches can be attached to cellulose fibers, imparting advantageous properties such as increased strength to paper products formed thereby. These systems and methods are particularly useful for papermaking involving virgin pulp fibers, recycled fibers, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: A screw has a generally flat washer-like head. On an underside of the head are a plurality of cutters or cutting wedges arranged circumferentially around the shank of the screw. The cutters cut or carve off material when the screw is inserted into a fibrous material like wood to thereby facilitate countersinking of the screw head. The cutters may be triangular or quadrilateral wedges. One or more pockets are disposed radially inwardly of the cutters for receiving fibrous material to help lock the screw in place, i.e. to prevent the screw from loosening over time. These pockets may circularly shaped pockets disposed circumferentially around the shank. Alternatively, a single annular pocket may be provided around the shank.

Abstract: A contactor assembly (102) is adapted for switching power to a circuit having a power source. The contactor assembly (102) includes a housing, carry contacts (202, 204), and arc contacts (206, 208). The housing defines an interior compartment (308) and includes internal chamber walls that laterally extend within the compartment (308) to define a protection chamber (414, 416). The carry contacts (202, 204) are disposed in the protection chamber (414, 416) of the housing. The carry contacts (202, 204) include conductive bodies that protrude from the housing and are configured to close the circuit.

Title: Minimisation d'interferences entre des bobines de charge et de telemetrie dans un dispositif medical implantable
Inventor: RAHMAN MD MIZANUR
IPC: A61N1/378
Filed: 2010-09-17
Abstract: L'invention concerne un générateur d'impulsions implantable amélioré (IPG) contenant des circuits télémétriques améliorés. L'IPG comprend des bobines de charge et de télémétrie placées à l'intérieur d'un boîtier IPG, qui augmentent leur inductance et leur potentiel mutuel pour interférer l'une avec l'autre. L'interférence avec la bobine de télémétrie provoquée par la bobine de charge est particulièrement problématique. Pour résoudre ce problème, des circuits de télémétrie améliorés comprennent des circuits de découplage destinés à découpler la bobine de charge pendant les périodes de télémétrie entre l'IPG et un contrôleur externe. Ces circuits de découplage peuvent utiliser des circuits préexistants LSK pendant une télémétrie ou de nouveaux circuits discrets dédiés au découplage. Les circuits de découplage sont conçus pour empêcher ou pour au moins réduire l'écoulement d'un courant induit via une bobine de charge pendant une télémétrie de données. Les circuits de découplage peuvent être commandés par un microcontrôleur dans l'IPG, ou peuvent découpler automatiquement la bobine de charge à des moments appropriés pour atténuer un courant induit sans instruction en provenance de microcontrôleur.

Patent CA-2786057-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MACK BENJAMIN PAUL
IPC: B65D81/34
Filed: 2012-08-13
Abstract: Containers are disclosed, as well as multilayer films used in such containers, which advantageously maintain a high seal strength even after being subjected to retort conditions for sterilization. These retortable containers and multilayer films are also beneficially self--venting upon exposure to microwave heating, when the internal container pressure exceeds a threshold value. The self-venting nature of these containers arises from particular sealing characteristics, in which the seal width differs in defined, self-venting seal regions, relative to non-venting seal regions of a given peripheral seal. Particular structural features and geometries of the self-venting seal regions can be used to improve the location of venting and control of the vented gases.

Abstract: A horseshoe with splaying and flexibility features has a U shaped compliant metallic unitary body having left and right wings and a central toe area integral with the body, and a compliant leaf-spring formation disposed proximate to or as part of the toe area. The leaf spring is arch shaped and resiliently deforms and exerts horizontal pressure sideways on the left and right wings thus splaying the left and right wings. The arch shape forms a cavity which is optionally filled with a resilient material, e.g., polyurethane, to prevent accumulation of debris in the cavity. Contiguous serrations on the left and right wings provide relative vertical flexibility of the left and right wings. The splaying and flexibility enhance horse-hoof comfort and hoof-structure regeneration. The horseshoe may be cast/forged, blanked, or welded or produced by mechanical joining. Hardened stainless steel or Titanium, or other material may be used for the horseshoe.
