Patent CA-2372295-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCCORMICK DUANE C
IPC: F01D11/10
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: Existing pressure oscillations created by axial or centrifugal fans in a diverging shroud are utilized to power a passive, acoustic jet, the nozzle of which directs high momentum flux gas particles essentially tangentially into the boundary layer of the flow in a diffuser, or a duct, the fluid particles in the resonant chamber of the passive acoustic jet being replenished with low momentum flux particles drawn from the fluid flow in a direction normal to the surface, thereby to provide a net time averaged flow of increased momentum flux particles to defer, even eliminate, the onset of boundary layer separation in the diffuser or duct. The passive acoustic jet is used in the vicinity of fan blade tips to alleviate undesirable flow effects in the tip region, such as leakage.

Abstract: A protective packaging enclosure for shock sensitive products is formed as a clamshell, with two halves that are hinged together along a pair of sides or a pair of ends. The clamshell protective enclosure is dimensioned, in each case, for the known dimensions of thickness, length, and width of a specific shock sensitive product. The protective enclosure is rectilinear in configuration, and has inwardly directed convolutions formed on each of the side and end walls, where the distance between the closed convolutions on the sides or ends is not greater than the respective width or length of the shock sensitive product to be protected. The base walls of the clamshell halves are also formed with at least one dimple, so that at least one product contacting surface of each of the base walls, and at least two product contacting surfaces of each of the side walls and end walls, is in contact with the shock sensitive product. Significant shock protection is provided by the protective packaging enclosure in the event that the shock sensitive product in the protective packaging enclosure is dropped.

Inventor: GRAY CLINT D J
IPC: F02B7/02
Filed: 2002-02-22
Abstract: The combustion chamber of a high speed, two stroke or four stroke, internal combustion engine is provided with a generally homogeneous mixture of combustion air and two types of fuel, one having a high resistance to ignition (high octane), the other having a low resistance to ignition (high cetane), the fuels being supplied in a ratio which optimizes combustion for varying operating conditions. A high cetane fuel may also be injected into the combustion chamber to initiate the combustion in the form of rapidly propagating, multiple flame fronts. Moderate combustion pressures, rates of combustion pressure rise and low levels of combustion knock are generated. High compression pressures and little or no combustion air throttling are employed allowing high levels of thermal efficiency, fuel efficiency, output power and low levels of exhaust emissions. Low cost engine applications employ slightly lower compression pressures and an electrical spark to initiate combustion.

Patent CA-2380425-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for positioning a closing surface which is actuated by an external force
Inventor: KNAB NORBERT
IPC: G05B19/4062
Filed: 2001-05-16
Abstract: The invention is based on a method for the contactless approaching of an upper stop position (A) outfitted with a seal (5) by a window pane (1) of a motor vehicle actuated by external force. When an upper window-pane edge (2) approaches the stop position (A), a control signal is generated by a control unit (26), by way of which the electric drive is switched off in a shutoff position (11) p a, and/or its driving direction is reversed, so that the upper window-pane edge (2) comes to a standstill at a zero position (10) p0. When the window pane (1) approaches the stop position (A), system parameters (S1 ... S n) are detected by sensors (27) and stored in a memory (28). A system state SZ (S1 - S n) dependent on the system parameters (S1 ... S n) is read out with the shutoff position (11) p a from a characteristic diagram. A difference .DELTA.SZ is determined by comparing the respective current system states (SZ cur (S1- S n) and the reference system state SZ ref (S1 ... S n) stored in the memory (28). A new shutoff position (11.1) p anew is calculated based on the deviation .DELTA.SZ determined.

IPC: A61B18/14
Filed: 2001-09-10
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé servant à fixer un capteur (3816) à un ballonnet gonflable (3810). Ce procédé consiste à coller le capteur au ballonnet au moyen d'un adhésif, pendant que ce ballonnet est gonflé, à dégonfler le ballonnet après le durcissement au moins partiel de l'adhésif et ensuite à retourner le ballonnet, de façon à exposer la surface intérieure de sa paroi. De ce fait, le capteur et les conducteurs se trouveront à l'intérieur du ballonnet. Ce procédé permet de limiter l'éventualité d'une défaillance de l'adhérence entre le capteur et le ballonnet. Ce procédé est particulièrement utile pour l'élaboration d'un cathéter d'ablation tissulaire servant à créer une liaison le long d'une zone pratiquement périphérique d'un tissu, où on met en application un capteur afin de contrôler la température du tissu en cours d'ablation.
Patent CA-2395743-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BAGNE CURTIS A
IPC: G06N5/02
Filed: 2000-12-21
Abstract: The present invention is an improved computational method and system of empirical induction that can be used to arrive at generalized conclusions and make predictions involving longitudinal associations between and among variables and events. Empirical induction is used to gain scientific knowledge, to develop and evaluate treatments and other interventions, and to help make predictions and decisions. The invention, which is distinct from and often complementary to the statistical method, is applied to repeated measures and multiple time-series data and can be used to quantify, discover, analyze, and describe longitudinal associations for individual real and conceptual entities. Major improvements include provisions to define Boolean independent events and Boolean dependent events and to apply analysis parameters such as episode length and episode criterion for both independent and dependent variables, persistence after independent events, and delay and persistence after Boolean independent events.

Title: Analyzing and sorting of wood veneers
Inventor: KAIRI MATTI
IPC: B27D1/04
Filed: 2002-09-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for increasing strength and/or reducing strength variations in multi-layer wood, plywood, and the like sandwich ma-terial. The method comprises measuring wood veneers (10) for dry sub-stance density (p) with high-frequency electromagnetic resonance (TEM) and additionally analyzing the homogeneity and/or grain structure of wood veneers from a wood veneer surface in the way of its darkness (R). If the wood veneer comprises a number of local first regions, which are darker than a predominant darkness of the veneer surface, the wood veneer in question has its calculated dry substance density (pc) established to be lower than its initially measured value (pM). On the other hand, if the wood veneer has a substantially uniform darkness, the wood veneer in question has the longitudinal and lateral distribution of its dry substance density evaluated and, if those are substantially uniform, the calculated dry sub-stance density (pm) of the wood veneer in question is established for a sort-ing process to be higher than its initially measured value (pM). Wood ve-neers are sorted on the basis of said calculated dry densities for at least two different density categories. In a first density category (A), the dry substance density is higher than in a second density category (B). Wood veneers are laid on top of each other for mufti-layer wood, plywood, or some other sandwich material (20), the veneers included in the first density category serving as surface veneers (13) and the veneers included in the second den-sity category serving as middle veneers (14).
