Abstract: ABSTRACT                 HOOKS FOR ATTACHING  UTILITY        RACKS TO VEHICLES           A  hook  for  attaching  utility  racks  to vehicles,  such as cars,  includes a one-piece body defining a U-shaped recess adapted to be positioned over a frame part of the car having the shape of a thin ledge. For instance, the hook can be mounted to the sill of the roof of the vehicle after having removed  therefrom  the  door  gasket.  The  hook  is maintained permanently  secured  to  the  vehicle  by repositioning the gasket over the assembly of the hook with the roof sill.  The hook also defines a pair  of  spaced  apart  inverted U-shaped  retaining members which extend above the gasket and which are adapted  to  receive  the  T-shaped  end  of  a  link extending between the hook and the steel strap of the utility rack. The link is chosen in accordance with the vehicle and a protective accordion sleeve is provided over the steel strap and the adjustable link right up to the retaining members of the hook. Therefore, the hook remains permanently attached to the vehicle and the utility rack can be mounted to the vehicle by engaging the T-shaped end of the link to the retaining members of the hook.

Title: Method and apparatus for continuous casting of metal
Inventor: GRAHAM THOMAS S
IPC: B22D11/07
Filed: 1993-08-09
Abstract: Electrostatic application of a dusting of dry, electrostatically adherable, thermally insulative powder particles over a workface of a moving mold in a continuous metal-casting machine in which the mold surface or surfaces which provide the workface or workfaces revolve in a generally oval course. A dry dusting of protective powder particles of refractory material is applied to the workface by being dispensed entrained in a plurality of air streams uniformly spaced across a width of the workface. The air streams are deflected toward the workface by a deflector surface, and after being deflected the powder particles are electrostatically charged by suitable electrostatic apparatus prior to contact with the workface. The moving mold having the workface to be dusted is electrically grounded for attracting the electrostatically charged powder particles for adhering them to the workface. The resultant coating formed by the dusting so deposited is remarkably uniform over a substantial area of the workface, a phenomenon explainable by mutual electrostatic repulsion of the dry powder particles being deposited.      Continuously re-applied dusting over the workface during a continuous cast provides an immediately useful repair or replacement of dusting powder lost from the coating on the workface of a revolving mold surface during casting. The dusting may be removed at will from the workface by means of an air knife, and then immediately the workface is coated again by electrostatic application of a dry dusting of the protective powder particles.

Patent CA-2119794-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZALLIE JAMES P
IPC: A23L1/18
Filed: 1994-03-24
Abstract: A method is provided to increase the fiber content of extruded foods without compromising overall eating quality. It has been recognized that dietary fiber is beneficial in human diet; however, it has been difficult to obtain good or acceptable texture in extruded foods fortified with high fiber because the addition of dietary fiber to these foods adds density. It has now been found that the addition of resistant starch to starting dough mixes for extruded food products not only increases the total dietary fiber of the extruded food product, but also increases expansion and improves the texture of the extruded food over over compositions that do not contain the resistant starch and over compositions that are fortified with other forms of dietary fiber, such as oat bran.
Patent CA-2119933-A1 (CA)
Title: Tensiometer irrigation valve
Inventor: PETERSON DONALD L
IPC: A01G25/16
Filed: 1992-09-24
Abstract: A flow controller device includes a valve assembly (2) connected with a tensiometer (1) to provide automatic control of flow of water for irrigation, including variable control of the rate of flow according to the matric tension of the soil for water. The tensiometer (1) is made of a porous cup (11) and a connecting tube (12) to measure this tension of the soil, which depends on the moisture and type of the soil. The valve assembly is formed of a piston (24) moving in a cylinder (22), to move a rod (25) connected to the piston (24). A cavity on the piston end of the cylinder connects with the tensiometer (1), and at the far end of the rod a flow valve (2) is formed. As the soil dries, water moves out of the tensiometer's porous cup (11) into the soil, reducing the pressure in the tensiometer (1) and cylinder cavity, thereby shifting the piston (24) to begin or increase the flow for irrigation. As soil moisture increases, water moves back into the tensiometer (1), increasing its pressure, thereby moving the piston (24) to close the flow valve.

Title: Drainable blade louver
Inventor: OLSON ROBERT W
IPC: E06B7/082
Filed: 1994-04-27
Abstract: Drainable Blade Louver Abstract A drainable blade louver comprises a multiplicity of inclined blades extending horizontally between the jambs of a frame.  Each blade has in cross-section a base portion sloping smoothly upwardly from a lowermost point at the front edge of the blade to an uppermost point proximate to the rear edge of the blade.  The undersurface of the base portion is free of protuberances so that there are no drip points and water clinging to the undersurface of the base portion is transported along the undersurface by the air flowing through the louver.  A generally C-shaped bottom trough portion adjacent the upper edge of the blade captures water blown along the undersurface of the blade and drains it to the jambs.  A front drainage trough, an intermediate drainage trough, and a rear drainage trough on the top surface of each blade provide high capacity water-capturing ability.  Water captured in each drainage trough flows along each trough to respective front, intermediate and rear drainage channels in the jambs.
