Patent CA-2477711-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHIELDS CHARLES MARTIN
IPC: B05D1/28
Filed: 2003-03-26
Abstract: A device for impregnating a paper web with a molten polymer to produce a paper with improved resistance to oil and grease are provided. The device includes, as part of an on-machine process, an ordinary paper web (10) composed of cellulose or synthetic fibers, a polymer applicator (16), a hot reel (23), and a winding reel (26). The web, which is created through a series polymer onto the surface of the web. The web is next transferred to a hot reel, which maintains the temperature of the molten polymer above its melting point and thereby facilitates wicking of the molten polymer into the web. After the web passes the hot reel, it is wound onto a winding reel, where additional wicking occurs until the molten polymer cools to a temperature below its melting point. The invention further includes a method for impregnating a web of fibers and a polymer impregnated paper with improved resistance to oil and grease, produced by the described method.

Inventor: MANDERS STEPHEN
IPC: F41H11/16
Filed: 2003-02-28
Abstract: A method of deactivating land mines buried in ground comprises projecting high-pressure water jets (220) into ground, cutting through ground with the high-pressure water jets (220), and making at least one cut through a land mine or cutting through at least one land mine that had been under the ground, the cutting of the land mine reducing the performance of the land mine. To reach as many surface areas on the buried landmines, it is preferable that at least two high-pressure water jets (220) are spaced apart are used to cut through the ground. The method may be practiced with the high-pressure water jet (220) being carried on a vehicle (6) and cutting is done in a line that is formed at least in part by movement of the vehicle (6) over the ground while the high-pressure water jet (220) is cutting ground. An apparatus for the reduction in effectiveness of land mines buried in ground may comprise a self-contained push-cart unit (6) or a unit attached or attachable to a vehicle. A complete system could comprise a vehicle having a source of liquid, a high-pressure pump to move the liquid under high pressure, a nozzle (248) directing a liquid jet path for the liquid, a support for the nozzle (226), abrasive delivery system, and nozzle (248) being controllable to direct the liquid towards the ground while the nozzle (248) is fixed relative to the vehicle.

Filed: 2003-11-27
Abstract: An epoxy resin composition which comprises (a) an epoxy resin and (b) a polyamide resin containing phenolic hydroxy groups which has a structure represented by the formula (1); a method of curing the composition; a varnish, prepreg, or sheet comprising or obtained with the composition; and an epoxy resin hardener which contains as an active ingredient a polyamide resin represented by the formula (1). The epoxy resin composition gives a cured object which has sufficient flexibility even when it is in a thin film form.  The cured object further has flame retardancy although it contains none of flame retardants such as halogenated flame retardants and antimony compounds, and is excellent in heat resistance and adhesiveness. The composition is hence extremely useful in a wide range of applications such as a molding material, casting material, laminating material, coating material, adhesive, and resist.

Abstract: Provided are four new fluorescent proteins. The proteins were derived from t wo wild-type fluorescent proteins: a red fluorescent protein (RFP) that was isolated from Actinodiscus or Discosoma sp. 1 and a green fluorescent protei n (GFP) isolated from Montastraea cavernosa. Two mutant forms were generated from each wild-type protein. Each of the mutated forms has a higher fluorescence intensity than the respective wild-type form. The mutant forms of the fluorescent proteins allow for more sensitive detection of the fluorescence emitted by the proteins. Additionally, one of the mutant protei ns is more resistant to photobleaching than its wild-type protein. The inventio n also encompasses isolated nucleic acids encoding the mutant forms of the wil d- type RFP and GFP.

Title: Shock resistant mounting for small display screen
Inventor: PHILLIPS ROBERT WILLIAM
IPC: H04B1/38
Filed: 2005-08-31
Abstract: The display screen unit of a cell phone or PDA is carried in a mounting frame, which is bolted into the casing. The screen unit is sandwiched between cushioning layers of foam. The screen unit can move laterally, relative to the mounting frame, putting the foam in shear, in response to an edge or corner impact. Springy tabs are bent up from the metal backing plate of the screen unit, and these springy tabs serve to cushion the impact of the screen unit against the mounting frame, in response to the edge or corner impact, leading to a marked improvement in drop test performance. As a production-line benefit, the springy tabs also permit the screen unit to rest on the lip of the mounting frame, enabling the screen unit to be accurately positioned in the mounting frame just before the screen unit is finally pressed down into contact with the securing adhesive.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, une grande qualité de compression intratrame seulement d'une image vidéo peut être obtenue par optimisation de la distorsion du débit et sans remise au format ou modification en profondeur des bits. Le procédé de compression consiste à transformer des parties de l'image pour générer des coefficients du domaine de fréquence pour chaque partie. Un débit binaire pour chaque partie transformée utilisant une pluralité de facteurs d'échelle est déterminé. Une distorsion pour chaque partie est estimée en fonction de la pluralité de facteurs d'échelle. Un facteur d'échelle est choisi pour chaque partie afin de réduire au minimum la distorsion totale dans l'image et obtenir un débit binaire désiré. Une matrice de quantification est choisi en fonction du débit binaire désiré. Les coefficients du domaine de fréquence pour chaque partie sont quantifiés au moyen de la pluralité de quantificateurs choisis mis à l'échelle par le facteur de psoropte commun choisi. Les coefficients du domaine de fréquence quantifiés sont encodés par codage en longueur variable pour produire des données comprimées pour chacune des parties définies. Les données comprimées sont sorties pour chacune des parties définies afin de produire des trains binaires comprimés selon le débit binaire désiré. Le format des trains binaires comprend, pour chaque image, une en-tête d'image suivie de données de balayage d'image. Les données de balayage d'image comprennent des données correspondant à une pluralité de balayages tramés de macroblocs. Les données pour chaque balayage tramé de macroblocs incluent des données se rapportant une pluralité de macroblocs pour une bande de lignes dans l'image suivies d'un remplissage. Le remplissage assure que les données pour chaque balayage tramé de macroblocs se terminent à une frontière de données. L'en-tête d'image renvoie à un index de balayages tramés indiquant un nombre de balayages tramés de macroblocs dans les données de balayage d'image et un nombre de lignes par balayage tramé de macroblocs, suivis d'entrées de l'index. Chaque entrée figurant dans l'index comprend un décalage du balayage tramé de macroblocs dans le balayage d'image.
