Patent CA-2170624-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COMELLINI ENRICO
IPC: G01R21/133
Filed: 1994-09-28
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système permettant de commander à distance le réseau de distribution électrique et d'effectuer la télélecture des compteurs d'électricité, de gaz, d'eau et d'autres prestations des abonnés connectés à ce réseau. De manière plus spécifique, il s'agit d'un système qui utilise l'intelligence centralisée et répartie pour gérer les informations, et qui fait appel à des courants porteurs de fréquences relativement élevées sur les câbles des réseaux d'électricité pour transmettre les informations. Le système de courants porteurs est mis en oeuvre selon un procédé original, qui contrairement au procédé traditionnel, n'utilise pas les dérivations et pièges haute fréquence au niveau des noeuds de réseaux. Contrairement à la solution traditionnelle, ce procédé permet d'utiliser le réseau de distribution d'électricité sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'effectuer des changements onéreux. Cet objectif est atteint par l'émission de messages sur les réseaux radiaux à moyenne tension (MV) et à faible tension (LV) qui sont configurés pour la distribution de l'électricité et par l'adressage correct des divers postes et des compteurs des abonnés. La configuration du réseau d'électricité à moyenne et faible tension fait l'objet de nombreux changements du fait des opérations de commutation réalisées volontairement, ou du déclenchement automatique des organes de couplage après une erreur. Par conséquent, l'adressage et l'acheminement corrects des messages vers leurs destinations finales nécessite une mise à jour fréquente de l'état du réseau. Cette fonction est assurée par le système selon la présente invention. Par ailleurs, la mise à jour de l'état du réseau, information très importante en elle-même, doit être considérée comme une valeur ajoutée pour ce système.

Title: A ship's hull
Inventor: GELLEKINK BERNARD
IPC: B63B1/04
Filed: 1994-09-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a ship's hull comprising a first hull part (1) arranged as a hard-chine hull disposed on a second hull part (2) in the shape of a super-slender float. Due to the fact that in service conditions only the aft half of the first hull part intersects the water surface two separate bow waves develop. By appropriate selection of hull widths and by disposition of the first hull part (1) on the second hull part (2), the bow waves are in phase opposition. This reduces the wave-induced drag of the ship's hull considerably, especially near the critical speed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a roofing tape which allows roofers to determine and consistently apply the proper reveal space of shingles on any roof without measurement. A roofing tape (6) includes a start indicator (12), a first line indicator (14) and a plurality of series of indicia (16-24) on its front surface (10). The first line indicator (14) is located at a distance from the start indicator (12) equal to the height of the roofing shingles less the overhang requirement of the roofing shingles. Each series of indicia (16-24) is arranged longitudinally along the roofing rape. Each series of indicia (16-24) has equal intervals (RS1-RS5) between the first line indicator (14) and the first indicator (16) in the series and between consecutive indicia in the series. The intervals (RS1-RS5) in each series correspond to a spacing within the reveal space tolerance range of the roofing shingles. The roofing tape preferably includes eave adjustment hash marks so that the tape may be adjusted downward to cover all the areas along an irregular eave. The roofing tape preferably includes an applicator which helps extend the tape along the roof aids in selecting the appropriate indicia for the particular roof, and indicates the line where the bottom of the last course of shingles should be laid. The present invention eliminates the need for a roofer to perform measurements and trial and error calculations in determining the correct reveal space for a roof, eliminates the possibility for creep, and facilitates the installation of shingles on uneven and intersecting roofs and roofs with other irregularities.

Title: Z-fold print media handling system
Inventor: MCCUE THOMAS E JR
IPC: B41J11/48
Filed: 1997-03-18
Abstract: A Z-fold print media handling system for printing banners and the like uses an inkjet printing mechanism without a tractor-feed. A series of stuttering stopping and starting steps generates varying static and dynamic frictional forces to separate the first sheet of a Z-fold stack from the remainder of the stack. Both conventional cut-sheet media and Z-fold media are fed using the same printing mechanism, which pulls the media toward a printzone through frictional engagement with a first surface of the media. To prevent printhead crashes and smearing the image near the perforations joining the Z-fold sheets, the printhead to media spacing is increased for Z-fold media over the standard spacing used for cut-sheet media. A cam feature is incorporated into the media drive clutch disk to determine whether an operator has set a selector lever for cut-sheet or Z-fold printhead to media spacing.

Abstract: A method for managing transmission lines within a communication system which enables the automatic restoration of network access for user lines. The communication system includes user lines interfaced with groups of transmission lines and each group of transmission lines includes dedicated transmission lines which are connected to the user lines, idle transmission lines and reserved transmission lines.  The method makes a number of idle transmission lines among the groups of transmission lines available for coupling by user lines which have a dedicated transmission line in a group of transmission lines that fails.  The method determines the minimum number of transmission lines to be reserved by a comparison of the numbers of certain types of transmission lines in the different groups.

Title: Snow guard with reinforced snow-stop and gusseted brace
Inventor: LEE VICKI PARKER
IPC: E04D13/10
Filed: 1997-04-03
Abstract: An economical three-component snow guard comprising (1) a laminar strap, (2) a snow-stop and (3) a gusseted brace is reinforced and its rigidity and compressive strength greatly improved. At the same time, the resistance to damage due to re-freezing of melted snow, and internal weathering of the brace, is essentially eliminated. The disdavantages of a structurally similar prior artsnow guard are unexpectedly avoided by providing particularly improved structural features. The novel snow guard, formed as a unitary structure of foldable sheet metal less than 2 mm thick can withstand not only the forces exerted by an accumulated snow pack, but also the compressive force of a person's weight exerted in either the down-roof or vertical directions.
