Title: Method and apparatus for storing and dispensing thin flexible objects
Inventor: DEVNANI DEEPAK
IPC: B65H29/66
Filed: 1998-10-08
Abstract: A device is disclosed for storing a stream of a plurality of thin flexible objects, such as newspapers or similar printed materials, which is constructed from a number of generally parallel conveyor sections arranged in a number of vertical columns. The conveyor sections in each column are connected to one another by diverter belts located at the ends of the columns and the last conveyor section in one column is connected to the first conveyor section in an adjacent column by an offset transfer conveyor. In operation, a lapped stream of objects is fed into the input of the storage device travels in a serpentine manner along all of the interconnected conveyor sections in a first column, across the transfer conveyor to a second column where the process is repeated. The remaining columns are traversed in the same manner until the stream reaches the end of the last conveyor. Selected numbers of objects can be dispensed by operating the full unit for short periods of time to cause objects to exit from the discharge end of the unit. A control system for controlling the unit and an input system for creating a suitable lapped stream of papers are also disclosed.

Patent CA-2253661-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MANSUR PIERRE G
IPC: A47L11/20
Filed: 1998-11-04
Abstract: A floor washing apparatus for removing oil, grease and other residue contaminants from a floor surface includes a housing supported on wheels and a spray suction head removably attachable to the housing so that a suction intake mouth is maintained in close spaced relation above the floor surface as the apparatus as moved on the floor. A wash tank within the housing holds a predetermined charge of wash solution and includes a pump therein to discharge a forced flow of the cleaning solution through one or more nozzles in the spray suction head and onto the floor surface, and a vacuum suction motor for creating a negative pressure within the wash tank to draw the wash solution and contaminant residues removed from the floor surface through the suction intake mouth and an interconnecting flexible hose for return to the Wash tank. During a recycling process, a valve assembly releases contaminated wash solution from the wash tank into a distillation chamber where the wash solution is heated to produce vapors. A condenser cools the vapors to a liquid state, yielding non-contaminated, pure wash solution which is directed into a holding tank for subsequent transfer and use in the wash tank.

Title: Workpiece-contacting probe for fastener-driving tool for fastening dimpled membranes to foundation walls via fasteners and polymeric plugs
Inventor: GUPTA HARISH C
IPC: B25C1/08
Filed: 1998-12-08
Abstract: A combustion-powered, fastener-driving tool useful to fasten a dimpled membrane to a foundation wall, via a fastener and a polymeric plug, is arranged to drive a fastener from a nosepiece, through the plug and the membrane, into the wall.  An actuating member mounted movably on the tool is movable thereon between an extended, tool-disabling position and a retracted, tool-enabling position. A workpiece-contacting probe is mounted to the actuating member so as to be conjointly movable with the actuating member.  The probe includes a plug-holdingmember adapted to hold the plug as the fastener is being driven, having a tubular wall defining a recess adapted to receive the plug, and having two pointed elements in diametric opposition to each other, each having a point projecting inwardly from the tubular wall so as to press against the plug received in the recess.  The workpiece-contacting probe includes a mounting bracket mounted to the actuating member.  In one embodiment, the plug-holding member is fixed to the mounting bracket.  In another embodiment, in which the workpiece-contacting probe includes a tubular body fixed to the mounting bracket with a pair of permanent magnets positioned at opposite sides of the tubular body, the plug-holding member is mounted removably to the tubular body and is held magnetically.  The magnets areadapted to hold a steel washer, which is made of a magnetizable steel, when the plug-holding member is removed.

Title: Reel web turn-up device
Inventor: ADAMSKI BRIAN C
IPC: B65H19/26
Filed: 1997-04-29
Abstract: Two water jets cut a paper web (26) as it is led over a winder drive roll (36). The water jets are angled with respect to the cut so the water used in the cutting action is entirely directed onto the portion of the web which is severed. An adhesive material, for example an automatically applied tape (24), is introduced between the upper surface of the web (26) and a spool (28) for forming a new reel (32) of paper. The use of an adhesive causes the paper leader to engage with the spool (28), thus assuring a tight, uniform and consistent initiation of the web wrapped onto the new spool (28). An automatic tape applicator (22), similar to that used for taping cardboard boxes, may be used to insert a double-sided adhesive tape (24) onto the web (26) or into the nip (40) formed between the spool (28) and the winder drum (36).
Patent CA-2258840-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROCK KENNETH L
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 1997-06-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to prophylactic and therapeutic methods of anti-tumor immunization. These methods are based on cross-priming a mammalian host to natural MHC class I restricted tumor antigens with an artificial tumor antigen. A primary tumor is resected from the patient and a population of tumor cells are cultured in vitro. These cultured tumor cells are loaded with an artificial target antigen. The loaded tumor cells are inactivated and introduced into the patient either simultaneous or subsequent to a direct immunization of the patient with the same or substantially the same artificial target antigen. This method of coupled host immunization promotes a tumor specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) immune response against multiple, undefined natural tumor antigens expressed on the unmodified tumor cell surface.

Abstract: The capability of communications systems is improved in completing call requests by using automatic methods to enable a user of a call station within a cluster to be available to receive calls under terms that protect the user's availability to do work other than answering calls. When a call is received (301), an assignment of a call station to handle the received call (301) is first attempted from among call stations associated with "first rights"  interrupted clusters (302). If a call station in a "first rights" interrupted cluster (302) is not available, an assignment is then attempted from among call stations associated with "rotating rights" interrupted clusters (303). If a call station in an interrupted cluster (302, 303) is not available, lists (304, 305) of available uninterrupted clusters are formed and used to determine an available call station, such that the received call (301) can be forwarded to the available call station (306).

IPC: F02B63/04
Filed: 1997-08-12
Abstract: A power converter (2700) produces an output signal having a desired voltage waveform (2800) from a rectified signal (+135). The poser converter includes a converter and a controller. The converter includes first and second juncture nodes (2703, 2707) for receiving the rectified signal therebetween; first and second converter output terminals (L1, L2); first, second, third, and fourth switches (2702, 2704, 2706, 2708) for selectively effecting current paths (e.g. 3000) between the first juncture node and one of the first and second converter output terminals and between the second juncture node and the other of the first and second converter output terminals; and a capacitance (2902) in series with a fifth switch (2908). The fifth switch is shunted by a diode (2906). The diode conducts a charging current for the capacitance, whereas the fifth switch conducts a discharging current for the capacitance. The capacitance and the fifth switch in series are coupled across the first and second juncture nodes. The controller provides a plurality of operative control signals to the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth switches to create the output signal at the converter output terminals having the desired voltage waveform. The discharging current provides a portion (T3-T4) of the desired voltage waveform.
