Patent CA-2380139-C (CA)
Inventor: GULDENFELS DIETER
IPC: B65G15/32
Filed: 2002-04-04
Granted: 2005-12-20
Abstract: A modular conveyor belt formed of rows of belt modules pivotally interlinked by transverse pivot rods and specially adapted for following a curved conveyor path. The modules include a top, product conveying surface and a bottom, sprocket-driven surface. The belt modules have a plurality of first link ends disposed in the direction of travel of the conveyor belt and a plurality of second link ends disposed in the opposite direction. Transverse holes in the link ends are aligned to accommodate a pivot rod. When the link ends of the consecutive rows of side by side modules are intercalated, the pivot rod serves as a hinge pin in a hinged joint between consecutive interlinked rows. To permit the belt to flex sidewise, the openings in the first link ends are slotted longitudinally in the direction of belt travel. In order to prevent fingers from penetrating the grid, the belt modules have a cross-rib with an extended portion in the longitudinal direction designed so as to allow the link ends to undercut the cross-rib when collapsing and to reduce the gap between adjacent modules.

Granted: 2009-10-27
Abstract: This patent describes a method of removing the LO-leakage and 1/f noise problems associated with direct conversion RF receivers and other demodulators. In order to solve this problem a virtua l LO.TM. signal is generated within the RF signal path which is tuned to the incoming RF signal. The virtual local oscillator (VLO) signal is constructed using signals that do not contain a significant amount of power (or no power at all) at the LO frequency. Any errors in generating the virtual LO signal are minimized using a closed loop correction scheme.

Filed: 2001-09-10
Granted: 2011-11-08
Abstract: Procédé servant à fabriquer une tôle d'acier plaquée trempée à chaud présentant une résistance élevée à la traction, ce qui consiste à se baser sur une tôle d'acier possédant une teneur en Si contrôlée à l'intérieur d'une plage spécifique et contenant Nb et un ou plusieurs constituants, tels que Cu, Ni et Mo, à soumettre une tôle laminée à un recuit de recristallisation, de manière à obtenir une couche d'oxyde intérieure située immédiatement sous la surface de cette tôle d'acier, à laver la surface au moyen d'un acide afin de supprimer les oxydes qui se sont formés également sur cette surface, à réchauffer la tôle d'acier obtenue préalablement à son placage, puis à soumettre cette tôle à un placage par trempage à chaud. La couche d'oxyde intérieure créée pendant le recuit joue le rôle de barrière contre la diffusion de Si, Mn et d'autres constituants pendant le traitement thermique préalable au placage, ce qui permet d'obtenir une réduction notoire de la formation d'oxydes de Si, Mn et d'autres constituants. On peut mettre en application ce procédé, de ce fait, afin de fabriquer une tôle d'acier plaquée trempée à chaud présentant une résistance élevée à la traction et possédant des caractéristiques de placage supérieures.
