Title: Weighted training tape
Inventor: BJUGSTAD BARRY S
IPC: A63B21/065
Filed: 2004-01-28
Abstract: A weighted training device specifically adapted for use with hockey equipment. The training device includes a hand-malleable, weighted tape portion and a securement portion. The weighted tape portion is hand conformable to the shape and cross-section of hockey equipment, such as skates and sticks, while the securement portion wraps tightly about the equipment to firmly retain the position of the training device. The device has a substantially flat orientation so as to be unobtrusive and not interfere with game play during use. By varying the dimensional or material characteristics of the weighted tape portion, the overall weight of the training device can be modified so as to promote use by individuals ranging from small children all the way to adults. Application of the weighted training device requires no tools and only a minimum level of physical strength and dexterity to use.

Patent CA-2458725-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCLEAN LARRY JAMES
IPC: C09D17/00
Filed: 2002-09-19
Abstract: A photo-catalytic overcoat on a UV reflective paint layer is employed to maintain high reflectance for long periods of time by continuously removing organic films when exposed to UV light. Advantageously, nano-particles comprising the photo-catalytic overcoat are composed of a semiconductor material that lead to the production of oxygen and hydroxyl free radicals when illuminated with UV light in the presence of water vapor. Some of these free radicals oxidize organic surface films, converting the surface films into gaseous H2O and CO2. This reduces the amount of organic deposits on the surface of the reflective paint layer.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un concasseur à percussion destiné à être utilisé avec une machine de forage dirigé, pour le remplacement de tuyauterie souterraine, qui comprend une tête d'éclatement, laquelle présente une cavité s'ouvrant vers l'arrière et une ouverture d'extrémité frontale communiquant avec cette cavité. Une conduite d'admission est reliée en son extrémité avant à une extrémité distale du train de tiges, et s'étend à travers la cavité de la tête susmentionnée, par l'ouverture d'extrémité frontale de cette tête. Un percuteur est monté coulissant le long de la conduite d'admission, et un mécanisme de distribution réagissant à un fluide sous pression, fourni via le train de tiges et la conduite d'admission, transmet au percuteur un mouvement de va et vient dans la cavité, qui se traduit par des percussions vers l'avant, contre la tête. Le percuteur et le mécanisme de distribution sont montés dans une enceinte tubulaire, et une liaison de traction permet de tirer le concasseur par le biais du train de tiges, tandis que le percuteur fournit les percussions contre la tête dans la même direction qu'une force de traction exercée par le train de tiges. De préférence, la tête est montée coulissante sur la conduite d'admission et se déplace par rapport à cette conduite et au train de tiges en réaction à une percussion du percuteur contre la tête. Le concasseur peut être utilisé facilement avec les machines existantes de forage dirigé.

Title: Rail road car truck and bolster therefor
Inventor: FORBES JAMES W
IPC: B61F5/04
Filed: 2004-12-03
Abstract: A rail road freight car truck has a truck bolster and a pair of side frames, the truck bolster being mounted transversely relative to the side frames. The mounting interface between the ends of the axles and the sideframe pedestals allows lateral rocking motion of the sideframes in the manner of a swing motion truck such that the bolster can move laterally relative to the sideframes. The range of travel of the bolster may be greater when the car is fully laded that when the car has no lading. This may be achieved by the use of tapered bolster gibs. Friction dampers are mounted to work between the bolster and the sideframes. The friction dampers may be provided with brake linings, or similar features, on the face engaging the sideframe columns, on the slope face, or both. The friction dampers may be mounted in a four-cornered arrangement at each end of the truck bolster. The friction dampers may include members having two rotational degrees of freedom such as may tend to permit the friction elements to accommodate changes in angular orientation between the bolster and the sideframes during pitch and yaw.
