Patent CA-2206087-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JONASSON BODIL
IPC: D21F3/00
Filed: 1997-05-23
Abstract: A method for manufacturing a papermaker's fabric by spirally winding a woven fabric strip, narrower than the intended width of the fabric, and the papermaker's fabric manufactured in accordance with the method, are disclosed. The fabric strip includes lengthwise and crosswise yarns, and has a lateral fringe along at least one lateral edge thereof, the lateral fringe being unbound ends of the crosswise yarns extending beyond the lateral edge. During the spiral winding of the fringed strip, the lateral fringe of a turn overlies or underlies an adjacent turn of the strip. The lateral edges of adjacent turns abut against one another. The spirally continuous seam so obtained is closed by ultrasonically welding or bonding the overlying or underlying lateral fringe to the fabric strip in an adjacent turn.

Title: Combustible carbonaceous compositions and method
Inventor: LANDIS CHARLES R
IPC: B22C1/00
Filed: 1997-06-20
Abstract: A combustible carbonaceous composition and method of making a charcoal briquette wherein a finely divided carbonaceous material is combined with an activated carbon and/or an activated graphite (which may be formed in-situ during pyrolysis of the composition by reacting a humic-containing ore with a low VOC-containing carbon and/or graphite).  The combustible carbonaceous composition is present in the briquette composition in an amount of about 65% to about 99.9% by weight; a binder is included in the composition in an amount of about 1% to about 15% by weight when forming a charcoal briquette or an igniter log; and the activated carbon and/or activated graphite is present in an amount of about 0.1% to about 20% by weight.  The activated carbon and/or activated graphite absorbs most of the VOCs entitled from the combustible carbonaceous material, thereby preventing the VOCs from escaping to the atmosphere.

Title: Bone marrow biopsy needle
Inventor: OLAH ANDREW M
IPC: A61B10/00
Filed: 1996-03-05
Abstract: A bone marrow biopsy needle includes an outer tube (10) having a lumen extending therethrough which narrows (18) at the distal end of the outer tube (10). An inner tube (30) is slidable through the lumen of the outer tube (10) and includes a pair of pincers (32) at its distal end. As the inner tube (30) is slid through the lumen of the outer tube (10), the pincers (32) will encounter the narrowed portion (18) of the lumen, and as the pincers (32) extend beyond an opening at the distal end of the outer tube (10), the pincers (32) close upon themselves. In this manner, the pincers (32) can grasp a biopsy core from bone marrow of a patient. The pincers (32) may have sharpened edges and/or have their edges bent radially inwardly so as to enhance the cutting of the biopsy core from the bone marrow.

Patent CA-2257714-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHAPMAN FRANK M
IPC: F16C13/00
Filed: 1997-06-09
Abstract: PTFE and other ultra high melt viscosity (UHMV) polymeric materials, such as TFM, and UHMW polyethylene are used, rather than FEP or PFA, in the HST  process as it has been found that UHMV polymers may be readily substituted for FEP in the HST process with little significant change in the existing process steps. Appropriate expansion of a PTFE tube, after fabricating to the proper dimensions, may be obtained with pressure and heat treatment at a temperature of the order of 200 ~F, rather than 600 - 700 ~F, and the resulting tube is sufficiently stable to be shipped for later shrink application at comparable temperatures onto a roll at a mill. The resulting roll cover has improved mechanical properties at high temperatures and may be reinforced with a conductive additive for providing anti-static qualities or other additives to improve its wear and compressive strength. Also, the UHMV polymers may be processed in the form of film to produce improved heat-shrinkable film that is shrinkable at comparatively low temperatures and particularly heretofore unrealized UHMWPE heat-shrinkable film.
