Patent CA-2394461-C (CA)
Inventor: GASKIN IAN
IPC: B23P19/00

Granted: 2008-04-29
Abstract: A press has a bush (56) set in a cylinder (54) which may then be rotated to position a stud (14) over a sheet of metal into which it is to be inserted. The cylinder is then lowered to insert and fix the stud in place. In a stud delivery system, studs (14) are fed through a delivery tube (12) shank first into a breech (20) in which a pair of pivoted members (24, 26) form a half barrel.  The pivoted members (24, 26) are biased towards each other and their ends remote from the delivery tube (12) are shaped to form a conical aperture (34). A thrust member (38) can push a stud (14) along the breech (20) so that the stud tip passes into the tapered aperture (34), the stud shaft then being horizontal. As the stud is pushed further along the breech, passage of the stud head (18) through the tapered aperture (34) forces the pivoted members (24, 26) apart.  After passage of the head (18), the pivot members (24, 26) return to their former position.

Abstract: A method and structure for heat transport, cooling, sensing and power generation is described. A photonic bandgap structure (3) is employed to enhance emissive heat transport from heat sources such as integrated circuits (2) to heat spreaders (4). The photonic bandgap structure (3) is also employed to convert heat to electric power by enhanced emission absorption and to cool and sense radiation, such as infra-red radiation. These concepts may be applied to both heat loss and heat absorption, and may be applied to heat transport and absorption enhancement in a single device.
Patent CA-2411061-C (CA)
Inventor: KAGAN VALERY G
IPC: B22D11/10
Filed: 2000-10-20
Granted: 2009-01-27
Abstract: Apparatus, system and method for precisely and quickly controlling the flow of molten metal to metal-casting apparatus, either by pumping or by braking or throttling. The Faraday-Ampère electromagnetic principle of current flow in a unidirectional magnetic field is employed, wherein Faraday's three-finger rule shows pumping direction or throttling direction. Permanent magnets comprising neodymium or similar high-energy, rare-earth materials provide a unique "reach-out" magnetism. These neo-magnets, usually shown as cubes, are arranged in various powerful configurations for driving an intense unidirectional magnetic field (B) across a non-magnetic gap many times larger than is economically feasible otherwise. This gap accommodates a conduit for pressurizing and moving a flow of molten metal. Among its advantages are that the invention obviates needs for servo-operating metallurgical valves or expensive tilting mechanisms for metallurgical furnaces.
