Patent CA-2369073-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KIRK WILLIAM TODD
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2000-05-16
Abstract: Des données de vérification collectées dans un établissement de détail concernent une pluralité d'achats. Pour chaque achat une date d'achat associée et un nombre associé d'unités achetées sont déterminés. Pour chacune des dates d'achat, un rythme d'épuisement est déterminé lequel fait diminuer le nombre d'unités à écouler lorsqu'apparaît la date d'achat consécutive suivante. Le rythme d'épuisement est une estimation des ventes quotidiennes ayant lieu entre des dates d'achat consécutives. Des données causales peuvent également être collectées dans l'établissement de détail, lesquelles sont considérées comme étant valides pendant une durée de vérification causale. Les ventes estimées totales ayant lieu pendant la durée de vérification causale sont déterminées par addition des ventes quotidiennes estimées pour chaque date d'achat dans une durée de vérification causale. Des relations peuvent être identifiées entre les données causales et les ventes totales estimées pendant la durée de vérification causale. Si une relation entre les données causales et les ventes totales estimées est identifiée, une ou plusieurs stratégies de marketing peuvent être développées pour tirer avantage de la relation identifiée. Des stratégies de marketing peuvent être analysées à l'aide d'un ou de plusieurs modèles de marketing analytique afin de déterminer si d'éventuelles stratégies de marketing sont viables. Les éventuelles stratégies de marketing déterminées comme étant viables peuvent être mises en oeuvre dans l'environnement de détail. Ultérieurement, des données de vérification actualisées et des données causales peuvent être collectées et analysées de la manière précitée afin de contrôler les résultats de l'une ou des stratégies de marketing mises en oeuvre..

IPC: B23K26/38
Filed: 2000-07-14
Abstract: A method of ablating holes in a material, using a laminated material which includes a first layer (12) and a second layer (14). The first and second layers have different coefficients of thermal expansion. The first layer has a hole within it surround-ing a target region of the second layer in the laminated material. Thus, the target region is not laminated to the second layer but is surrounded entirely by laminated regions where the first layer (12) is laminated to the second layer (14). A laser source (40) produc-ing energy of a wavelength and a power level that can ablate material from the first layer is directed toward the target region after and/or during changing the temperature of the laminated material so as to place the target region under tension, thereafter ablation of the target region produces the desired holes.

IPC: C22C1/04
Filed: 2002-04-30
Abstract: A method of making a relatively small infiltrated ferrous metal product is disclosed. A ferrous metal powder is formed and sintered into a porous product weighing less than 5 ounces. The ferrous metal powder product has a contact surface. A wire or sheet metal infiltrant pre-form is provided. The pre-form is made of a copper-based alloy. The alloy contains elements that reduce the likelihood of erosion of iron in the porous compact. Preferably, the infiltrant pre-form material includes copper and at least about 2.5% iron be weight. A typical pre-form for making this size of product will weigh about 1/2 ounce. The shaped pre-form is placed on the contact surface of the porous metal product. The combination of the infiltrant pre-form and the porous ferrous metal product is heated in a furnace so that at least some of the metal in the infiltrant pre-form infiltrates into the porous metal product to form the infiltrated ferrous metal product.  Use of the wire or sheet metal infiltrant pre-form instead of a powder metal infiltrant compact lessens breakage in the snaking of small parts.

Title: Pressure laminator apparatus and non-woven fabric formed thereby
Inventor: DANN KEVIN
IPC: D04H3/07
Filed: 2000-09-20
Abstract: This invention relates to a lamination apparatus and in particular to a dual belt driven, continuous pressure lamination apparatus that utilizes pressure, heat and cooling to bond at least two substrates (plies) with an adhesive between the layers of the substrates. The pressure laminator of the present invention has been specifically designed to permit the permanent joining of at least two fabric substrates with an adhesive between the fabric substrates, with little or no shrinkage occurring during the lamination process. The resulting non-woven fabric advantageously has the appearance of a woven fabric, but has superior strength characteristics there over. The pressure laminator of the present invention can have other uses, for example, printed circuit board substrate manufacture, and the like, as will be appreciated by those having ordinary skill in this art.

Abstract: According to the invention, a helmet (6) with braking and direction indicators is to be used by a motorcycle rider. The invention is actuated by electro-magnetic waves. The memorising feature is essentially achieved by incorporating a first microprocessor at a transmitter means (20) and a second microprocessor at a receiver means (10). The braking and direction signals are first encoded in the first microprocessor, to turn on a coded transmission. The encoded transmission is then received and decoded by the second microprocessor to actuate appropriate LED  driver means and indication LED (13) on the helmet (6). A receiver, an amplification means, a second microprocessor, a storage device and three indication LEDs (13) are incorporated in the receiver means (10) mounted on the helmet. Three data selection switches, a first microprocessor, a transmission section and a voltage regulator are incorporated in the transmitter means (20) mounted onto the motorcycle.
