Patent CA-2140677-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OLESEN HENRY TOFTDAHL
IPC: G01G11/04
Filed: 1992-02-12
Abstract: In an apparatus for weighing continuously flowing flowable material, in which the mass flow is determined as a function of measurements of forces exerted on at least one plate (I) in contact with the flowing material, the main novel features are that the apparatus is adapted to perform at least two of said measurements in substantial dependence of the distribution of weight, such as between third points (A, B), on a basically rectilinear inclined plate, on which the material flows slidingly. With this ar-rangement, the results of the measurement may be used for creating an expression of the mass flow, the accuracy of which is inde-pendent of the flow velocity, density and friction of the material.

Patent CA-2154507-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCDAID PAUL FREDERICK
IPC: G06F9/06
Filed: 1995-07-24
Abstract: The present invention provides a data processing system, and method of operation, in which the system has a first message based environment and includes an encapsulation system to facilitate the operation of an application program written for a second message based environment, the application program being arranged to create objects which interact via messages. The encapsulation system comprises means for intercepting environment dependent messages sent to or from an object of the application program, and conversion means for receiving each intercepted message and converting that message into an equivalent message stream of the other message based environment. Further transmission means are provided for sending the message stream to its original destination. By such an approach the object is treated by the first environment as a standard object of that environment. By increasing the re-use of code, development costs are greatly improved, as are quality and maintainability, without a detrimental effect on performance.

Title: Methods for compressing and decompressing raw digital sar data and devices for executing them
Inventor: MOREIRA ALBERTO
IPC: G01S7/295
Filed: 1995-08-04
Abstract: In a method for compressing raw digital SAR (synthetic aperture radar) data input data are first coded with fewer bits by means of an adaptive block quantization (BAQ) and subsequently vectors are formed from the block-quantized data. The vectors are coded by a special mapping table in order to achieve an effective data reduction. In a method for decompressing digital data, vectors are generated from the coded data by means of a code book table, from which scalar values are formed. After de-standardization of the scalar values, decoded data are obtained in that the scalar values are multiplied for the destandardization by the standard deviation of each block already calculated during coding.

The corrosion resistant layer is comprised of a material which can participate in a corrosive electrochemical reaction with the material of the positive active layer, but does so less than does the interface layer. The interface layer (22) is in intimate contact with and is interposed between the corrosion resistant layer (20) and the positive-side active layer (14). The negative-side  active material (26) is in intimate contact with the surface of the core member opposite the core member surface carrying the corrosion resistant layer. The margins of the electrode are connected to nonconductive components (30) of the battery which space plural ones of the electrodes from each other. Those connection are made via marginal surface portions (40) of the electrodes from which oxides (36) have been removed. The connections form seals which are secure from leakage of electrolyte through the seals.

Patent CA-2175290-A1 (CA)
Inventor: IZUMI JUN
IPC: B01D53/04
Filed: 1996-04-29
Abstract: A method for collecting volatile organic substances from an off-gas containing moisture and volatile organic substances. The organic substances are removed from the gas containing the organic substances and the moisture by introducing the gas into an adsorbing tower filled with the adsorbents and being in the adsorbing process under a relatively low temperature condition. The gas is discharged outside the system as the gas containing the moisture but from which the organic substances have been removed. The organic substances are desorbed under a relatively high temperature condition in the regenerating process for the regeneration. The moisture is removed from the desorbed gas discharged from the adsorbent regenerating process in a dehumidifying tower filled with the moisture absorbent by the temperature swing method or pressure swing method. The obtained high concentration organic substances containing dry gas is introduced into a liquefier to be cooled and/or pressurized and to be liquefied so that the organic substances are collected. It is therefore possible to collect the organic substances at a high concentration magnification rate without degrading the organic substances and the adsorbents.
