Title: Flow splitting device for web profile control stock dilution system
Inventor: WYWIALOWSKI FRANK J
IPC: F15D1/14
Filed: 1997-10-24
Abstract: A Y-shaped flow splitter (36) passes papermaking fluid with some fibers with reduced clogging and has a flat surface (68) opposite the leg (44) of the Y  where the flow divides into the two arms (46) of the Y. A generally flat rectangular surface is positioned opposite the leg of the Y of the flow splitter which divides the flow evenly without providing a place for fibers to collect and thus clog the flow through the splitter. The splitter allows the flow to a pair of dilution tubes to be controlled by a single valve with a single flow passage reducing clogging and valve cost. The flow splitter is constructed of stainless steel by a casting process. A process known commercially as the Extrudehone process is used to produce smooth flow passages.

Title: Coated foam insulation and method of making the same
Inventor: FEAGANS ROYCE MICHAEL
IPC: C08J9/36
Filed: 1999-10-29
Abstract: A foam insulation sheet has a major surface, such as the interior surface of a duct liner over which gases flow within a duct, coated with a relatively smooth, tough elastomeric coating of substantially uniform thickness. Preferably, the coating has a tough skin and penetrates' into interstices of the major surface of the foam sheet to firmly bond the elastomeric coating to the foam sheet. One method of forming the tough skin on the coating includes contacting a frothed aqueous cross-linkable acrylic latex emulsion, applied to the major surface of the foam sheet, with a hot ironing surface to dewater an exposed surface of the frothed emulsion, to free bubbles from the exposed surface of the frothed emulsion, and to achieve a cross-linking cure of the frothed emulsion at the exposed surface of the frothed emulsion, prior to curing the remainder of the frothed aqueous cross-linkable acrylic latex emulsion.

Title: Barbecue lighter with safety device
Inventor: SHER TAK CHI
IPC: F23Q2/28
Filed: 1999-12-23
Abstract: A lighter safety system which in a first "safety on" position prevents the ignition of the lighter by blocking the depression of the lighter trigger. The simultaneous forward engagement of a safety pin with the operator's thumb and the rearward depression of the trigger by the operator's fingers (of the same hand) allows the lighter to ignite. The safety pin is pivotable about a positioning pillar in the housing. A hook on one end of switch engages on slanted slot in the trigger to prevent depression of the trigger until the pivotable switch pin is urged forward.

Patent CA-2298775-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GUILLEMETTE CHRISTIAN
IPC: E05D11/00
Filed: 1999-06-14
Abstract: A lockable hinge device (10) of the type having a female flap (13) and a male flap (12) for attachment to structures to be hinged together and having interfittable knuckles (18, 19) defining together a passageway (11). A hinge pin (22) is insertable into the passageway (11) to pivotally connect the female flap (13) to the male flap (12). The female flap (13) has an outermost knuckle (19a) with a longitudinal slot (24) extending through the entire length thereof. That slot (24) is associated with a cut (26) provided on the edge (28) of the male knuckle (18) adjoining the outer most female knuckle (19a). The flaps (12, 13) are thus pivotable between an unlock position where the cut (26) is in an aligned relationship with the slot (24) and a lock position where the cut (26) is in an unaligned relationship with the slot (24). On its side, the hinge pin (22) has along its length a tooth (30) projecting therefrom. The tooth (30) is sized to freely slide in the slot (24) and to fit entirely in the cut (26), thereby allowing the hinge pin (22) to be inserted in the passageway (11) while the flaps (12, 13) are pivoted in the unlock position with the slot (24) guiding the tooth (30) up to said cut (26) to sit therein, and then as the flaps (12, 13) are pivoted in the lock position, the tooth (30) sitting in the cut (26) is caused to slide under the inner edge (25) of the female outermost knuckle (19a), thereby locking the hinge pin (22) in the passageway (11).

Title: Slip-based shift control system
Inventor: SPARKS RICHARD MARVIN
IPC: F16H61/06
Filed: 2000-02-16
Abstract: A powershift transmission of an engine-driven vehicle includes input and output shafts, a plurality of fluid pressure operated clutch for controlling flow of torque through the transmission and pressure control valves for controlling fluid pressure communicated to the clutches. A method of controlling an off-going clutch during a shift of the transmission includes detecting a load on the engine, as a function of the detected load, determining a slip pressure, which when applied to the clutch would cause the clutch to slip, and applying the slip pressure to the clutch. If the clutch is not slipping, the pressure applied to the clutch is reduced until relative rotation (slip) between the input and output elements of said clutch is detected. Then a pressure increase is determined, which when applied to the slipping clutch would allow the slipping clutch to continue to slip while transmitting the same torque it was transmitting before it began to slip. Finally, this pressure increase is applied to the slipping clutch.

Title: Hydro massage bathtub with light and ozone treatment
Inventor: ROY MARTIN
IPC: A61H33/00
Filed: 2000-04-18
Abstract: A hydro massaging tub is used for massage treatment wherein the treatment is performed by ozone-mixed warm air or water jets distributed adjacent the bottom wall of the tub all about its circumference.      Ozone generated by an ozone generator is injected in an air distribution duct to sterilize the air distribution system and help clean the skin of the bather's body. The oxygen liberated in the water and the air improves the quantity of oxygen in the bather's environment so that oxygen intake through the skin and lungs is facilitated.     A mobile air jet and section control of the air jets enable the bather to massage selective body areas with adjustable intensity of sections of the massage to achieve a desired effect. In one embodiment, orientable valves are mounted in the air jet holes for adjusting the orientation of the air jets. In another embodiment, optical fibers or light emitting diodes are provided to emit light frequencies in the water turbulence for physiological and therapeutic effects. The air distribution system may be made from material treated with antibacterial agents to maintain a clean condition and ensure the bather's health.

Title: Mock translation method, system, and program to test software translatability
Inventor: MONSON JERALD L
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2000-05-01
Abstract: A mock translation method and system is provided which converts base-language data and performs a mock translation on it to produce internationalization test data. The mock translation data is created by inserting additional characters, such as a tilde (~) into each of the text strings from the user interface of a software program. The additional characters are used as a placeholder to accommodate the additional space needed for later translating the text into a different language. In addition, field boundary characters, such as brackets, are used to designate the beginning and end of the text with the placeholders. This data is stored in localization files and displayed in a software application in place of the English or foreign-language text. By visually inspecting each screen, the programmer or proofreader is able to easily recognize many internationalization errors, without requiring the ability to read any foreign language. These errors include truncation, alignment, or other formatting errors, and programming errors such as text that is hard- coded, text missing from localization files, localization files missing from the program build, and text composed of more than one translated message.
