Patent CA-2144006-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CUMMINGS PAUL M
IPC: B31D1/02
Filed: 1995-03-06
Abstract: In the manufacture of integrated labels it is desirable to apply pressure sensitive adhesive in a continuous manner, yet it is undesirable for active adhesive to be on one or more edges of the form since active adhesive can interfere with nip rollers upon entering a laser or other non-impact printer, orcan otherwise interfere with proper operation of the printer. By using an adhesive -- that is de-tackified by direct exposure to a sufficient type and dosage of electromagnetic radiation (such as a hot melt adhesive de-tackified by applying about 3000 mJ/cm2 total dosage of ultraviolet radiation) -- that problem may be avoided. Apparatus for producing integrated labels with the adhesive at one or more edges being de-tackified may include a first conveyor for conveying sheets (either in stacked or single sheet form) in a first direction, and at least one ultraviolet radiation source mounted adjacent a side of the conveyor parallel to the first direction. A stacker, packaging device (such as ashrink wrap machine), 90° conveyor, and/or turn table may also be utilized.

Abstract: Cast iron pipe and other elongated hollow articles are lined with a cementitious mortar for certain applications, such as the transmission of potable water or sewage. To improve the resistance to attack from acids and to provide a crack and holiday free cement lining, a calcium alumina cement is used to line the article. A plasticizer such as fireclay is added to the calcium alumina cement prior to its application. The cement lined article is then coated with an asphaltic based coating and then cured in a high humidity environment.

Patent CA-2151629-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GORDON JAMES R
IPC: F16F1/14
Filed: 1995-06-13
Abstract: An adjustable elastomer torsion device includes a base member aligned in partially nested relation with a resilient elastomer (e.g. rubber or urethane resin) torsion member; parts of the base member and the torsion member overlap each other and an extension portion of the torsion member projects beyond the base member.  The base member and the torsion member are interlocked, where they overlap each other, to prevent relative twisting between them, but the interlock does not interfere with twisting of the torsion member extension.  An adjustment mechanism provides for adjustment of the positions of the base and torsion members relative to each other to vary the length of the extension portion of the torsion member over a given displacement length and thereby adjust the elastomeric, resilient torsional restoration force (torsional resistance) of the device within a predetermined force range.  In some versions, the base member is a resilient elastomer, so that some twisting occurs in the base member; in others the base member does not twist preceptibly.

Patent CA-2176868-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WELLES KENNETH BRAKELEY II
IPC: G01S19/14
Filed: 1996-05-17
Abstract: A data reduction, processing and dissemination system provides selected data collected from tracked assets to customers according to specified requirements. The location of a tracked asset is determined using a GPS receiver and a satellite transceiver in tracking units affixed to the assetsbeing tracked. The tracking units are formed into a local area network of tracking units. Each tracking unit is identified by a unique identification (ID)and includes various sensors which monitor environmental conditions. Within the network, one tracking unit is selected to act as a master and the remaining tracking units function as slaves. The slave tracking units periodically transmit their respective IDs together with sensor data and battery condition to the master tracking unit. The master tracking unit, in turn, maintains a list of IDs of the slave tracking units in the network and collects the data transmined to it by the slave tracking units. Periodically, the master tracking unit transmits to a central station a frame of data identifying all tracking units in its network together with environmental and battery data collected from the tracking units. All the data are collected and processed at the central station. The data are processed for specific customers and may take the form of textual reports, exception reporting, graphical display, etc. Data are disseminated via various telecommunications carriers, as specified by the customers.
