Patent CA-2579499-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OWENS BEVERLEY A
IPC: B65B39/02
Filed: 2007-02-23
Abstract: A device for holding open and supporting in a horizontal position, a flexible bag, so that debris can be guided into the inner part of the bag. The device is a rectangular sheet of plastic with memory so that it will attempt to return to a flat position when rolled, thus when it is inserted into the opening of the bag, it unrolls until restrained by the sides of the bag's circumference. The device is sized such that when the top edge is inserted into the bag at varying depths, it makes sufficient purchase with the sides of the bag to hold it in place but also allows the bottom edge to project out from the bag's opening in a splayed, chute-like position, with part of this edge laying flat to facilitate bag-filling with rake like tools. The device has perforations along this bottom edge in which fasteners can be placed through and into the ground to further stabilize the device when in use. There are slats at the top edge of device in which fasteners can be threaded through into the bag sides to further secure contact if needed. The use of these fasteners is optional; the device will maintain it's functional shape in the horizontal position for many types of bag-filling jobs.

Patent CA-2611075-A1 (CA)
Inventor: AHMADI MASOUD
IPC: G06F17/15
Filed: 2006-05-19
Abstract: An echo detector has a correlator for correlating between an incoming signal and an echo signal, the correlator being arranged to operate recursively, the detector being arranged to detect the echo and the length of its delay from peaks in the correlation. Recursive operation means the computational load can drop from being proportional to N*N, to being proportional to 2N, where N is a number of samples in a correlation window. It also reduces computation delay.  A filter at the inputs of the correlator suppresses low frequencies corresponding to the strongest components of pitch in human speech. Such filtering can remove periodic components which can mask a distinct peak of an echo. A classifier thresholds a ratio of highest and next highest correlation peaks beyond a time margin around the highest correlation peak, to reduce erroneous detections. It can classify two or more ratios simultaneously as distinct echoes.

Title: Pressure relief valve
Inventor: COZENS ERIC
IPC: F04B53/10
Filed: 2006-08-09
Abstract: A dual plunger valve having nested inner and outer plungers seated within a bore in the valve housing. The valve housing has an inlet port and an outlet port fluidly connected by the bore and sealed from one another by the plungers which are biased towards respective sealing surfaces by a pair of nested biasing elements located between the inlet port and the outlet port. The outer plunger is slidable within the bore and has a lip extending inwardly therefrom. The inner plunger is slidable within the outer plunger between a sealed position and a second position wherein it is in contact with the lip.  Pressure in the inlet port which is high enough to overcome the force of the biasing elements causes the inner plunger to slide within the outer plunger to its second position wherein the outer plunger will then begin to slide within the bore to remove the seal between the inlet port and the outlet port.
