Title: Crop recovery machine
Inventor: LUCAND PHILIPPE
IPC: A01F15/10
Filed: 2003-10-22
Abstract: A large round baler is provided with a crop take-up arrangement as well as a knife shaft ahead Of the inlet of a bating chamber which carries knives that operate with blades of a first rotor to cut crop material into pieces before the first rotor delivers the crop directly into the bating chamber. A second rotor is provided between the take-up rotor and the first rotor shaft for narrowing the crop flow from that of the crop take-up arrangement to that of the first rotor. All of the rotors perform an overshot conveying that requires a relatively low drive energy and guarantees a continuous flow of the crop into the chamber.

Title: Method and apparatus for reducing latency and message traffic during data and lock transfer in a multi-node system
Inventor: BROWER DAVID
IPC: G06F9/52
Filed: 2002-05-08
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for improving the performance associated with transferring a data item and obtaining a lock in a multi-node system by interpreting the block transfer message as a lock grant message. Typically when a Holder of a data item transfers a data item (e.g. block) to a Requestor of that data item, the Holder will down-convert its lock for that data item and send a message to the Master of this data item indicating that a down-convert has been performed. Subsequently, the Master sends a lock grant message to the Requestor of the data item to inform the Requestor that it has been granted a lock for the data item. By interpreting the block transfer message as a lock grant message, the down-convert message and the lock grant message can be eliminated, which results in improved performance.
Patent CA-2450515-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JONES FRANK
IPC: E21B33/16
Filed: 2003-11-25
Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide apparatus and methods of releasing a plug. In one aspect, a plug and bail seat assembly for releasing a plug is disclosed. The assembly is selectively maintained in a housing using a, mounting system. The plug and ball seat assembly includes a ball seat selectively connected to the plug. The mounting system is designed such that disengaging the ball seat from the plug also disengages the plug from the housing, thereby releasing the plug. In another aspect, a method of releasing a plug includes selectively connecting a ball seat to the plug and disposing the plug and ball seat assembly within a tubular. When the plug is ready for release, the ball seat is disconnected from the plug and allowed to move axially relative to the plug. In turn, the plug and ball seat assembly disconnects from the tubular and releases downhole. 13

Title: Dual-cell mechanical flotation system with intermittent skimming
Inventor: CHEN JAMES C T
IPC: B03D1/16
Filed: 2002-11-07
Abstract: It has been discovered that a mechanical flotation system 10 having only two cells 18, 20 can be nearly as efficient as one having more cells, yet provide an apparatus with a considerably smaller footprint, significantly reduced capital and operating costs, as well as be resistant to floating oil recovery platform wave effects. The dual-cel l mechanical flotation system 10 has, in sequential order, an inlet chamber 16 and two gasification chambers or cells 18, 20, each with at least one gas ingestion and mixing mechanism 32, and discharge chamber 24. A common primary skim collection channel 40 atop t he partition 44 dividing the gasification chambers 18, 20 efficiently channels away the bulk of the floating collected matter. A least one baffle 60 depending from the t op of the vessel 12 near the primary skim collection channel 40 helps dampen the action of th e fluid containing the suspended matter when the vessel 12 is affected by wave motio n against the floating oil production platform. The liquid or froth levels 50, 66, and 76 can be intermittently raised for collection or otherwise lowered during periods of excessive turbulence (e.g. pitch or roll) to prevent clarified liquid from being collected with suspended matter.
Patent CA-2456057-A1 (CA)
Title: Needle safety device with tortuous path
Inventor: ALESI DANIEL E
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2002-07-12
Abstract: A prepackaged safety needle device has fitted to a holder a double-ended needle assembly and a needle protection housing pivotally connected to the neck of the housing. The hub of the double-ended needle is mated to the neck of the holder. A circumferential sleeve extending from the neck of the holder envelops the hub so that when the needle that extends away from the holder is capped by a sheath, the lower portions of the sheath would coact with the sleeve to form a relatively tight fit. The configurations of the sleeve and the sheath with respect to the needle hub, at their respective interacting portions are such that a tortuous path is established which allows sterilizing gas to pass into the space capped by the sheath, but yet prevents bacteria or other contaminants from intruding into the space. The opening at the end of the holder away from the needle assembly is sealed by a porous cover that allows sterilizing gas to pass into the interior of the holder while acting as a barrier to prevent bacteria from entering intothe holder. Thus, configured, the prepackaged device is a conveninent to use device that remains sterile until use.

Title: Means for optimizing unit injectors for improved emissions/fuel-economy
Inventor: JONES JERRY A
IPC: F02M57/02
Filed: 2004-04-26
Abstract: A novel injection-pump plunger used in a unit injector for an EMD-type diesel engine has its upper (cut-off) control edge shaped to retard start of injection at full power from what it is with standard plungers, and to provide in a straight-line manner a relatively small increase in retardation from full load to idle. In a preferred form, the plunger has one or more steps in its upper (cut-off) control edge, the step or steps being formed between adjacent segments of the edge that are associated with different load points. A method of improving emissions/fuel-economy of EMD diesel engines comprises using prototype injection-pump plungers shaped within certain parameters, assessing their performance, selecting new patterns of timing based on the assessment, making new prototype plungers and assessing them, and repeating the steps of selecting, making and assessing if and as required until an assessment indicates compliance with applicable performance standards.

IPC: E04C3/32
Filed: 2002-03-18
Abstract: Column, beam and cross-bracing building frame structure and methodology. The column features an assembly of plural elongate angle-iron-like components held apart by spacers which establish laterally facing recesses between spaced, confronting legs for receiving the modified, inserted ends of the central webs in beams, and the ends of cross braces. Regions of the end-to-end, vertically-stacked joinder between two columns take the forms of compact, friction-bound splices created through and with the inserted ends of beams' central webs.  Columns in a frame can respond to severe loads with a certain amount of beneficial individual load-handling promoted and provided by the plural angle-iron-like components, and with modest, reversible frictionally resisted energy-dissipating longitudinal motions relative to one another. Such loading is also resisted by reversible, frictional relative motion in the splices between beams and columns. Similar friction connections are provided between cross-connected beams.
