Title: Method and device for wiping
Inventor: MURAKAMI KAZUHIRO
IPC: B60S1/26
Filed: 2000-05-25
Abstract: A method and a device for wiping, wherein, using two types of wipers;  reciprocatingly oscillating wipers (1) and rotary wipers (4), in normal volume of rain, the reciprocatingly oscillating wipers are operated to wipe off rain and, in a volume of rain exceeding the limit of wiping capacity of the reciprocatingly oscillating wipers, the rotary wipers are operated to wipe off rain after the reciprocatingly oscillating wipers have been stopped at specified positions, whereby, even in a heavy rain-fall of 50 mm or more, the visibility of an operator can be assured satisfactorily.
Patent CA-2376127-A1 (CA)
Title: Luminaire
Inventor: SOOLS FRANCISCUS G P
IPC: F21V7/22
Filed: 2001-03-26
Abstract: The luminaire has a molded reflector body (1) comprising a reflective coating (3) with light reflective particles (10) and a binder (11) and having a substrate side (12) and an outer surface (13). The coating (3) has a smooth optical waveguiding surface due to the absence of particles (10) at its outer surface (13) and to the light-transmission properties of the binder (11).  Owing to these properties, the coating (3) has a high degree of specular reflection, thereby both increasing the lumen output ratio and improving the light directional properties of the luminaire.

Title: Circularly magnetized disk-shaped torque transducer and method for measuring torque using same
Inventor: JONES CHRIS
IPC: G01L3/14
Filed: 2000-04-13
Abstract: A magnetoelastic torque sensor (2) for providing an output signal in-dicative of the torque transmitted be-tween radially separated locations of a diskshaped member (10) includes a magnetoelastically active, ferromag-netic, magnetostrictive region which is magnetically polarized in a single cir-cumferential direction and possesses sufficient magnetic anisotropy to re-turn the magnetization in the region, following the application of torque to the member, to the single circumfer-ential direction when the applied force is reduced to zero. First and second torque transmitting elements are di-rectly attached to or form a part of the member at its central axis of rota-tion and its periphery in such a manner that torque is proportionally transmit-ted between the member and the trans-mitting elements. Magnetic field sen-sor means are mounted proximate (26, 28) to the member to sense the magni-tude of the magnetic field produced by the member in response to the torque which is radially transmitted through the member between the first and second transmitting elements.  The member is preferably formed of a polycrystalline material wherein at least 50 % of the distribution of local magnetizations lie within a 90° quadrant symmetrically disposed around the single circular direction and has a coercivity sufficiently high that the field arising from the member does not magnetize proximate regions of the member to give rise to parasitic magnetic fields which are of sufficient strength to destroy the usefulness, for force sensing purposes, of the net magnetic field seen by the magnetic field sensor means.
Patent CA-2381120-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for cleaning of a milking plant
Inventor: LIDMAN MAGNUS
IPC: B08B5/04
Filed: 2000-09-12
Abstract: A milking plant for milking animals, such as cows, wherein milk collecting means, preferably in the form of teat cups, are attached to the teat of the animal whereafter milk is taken from the animal by use of vacuum. The milk is transported by a milk line system (31) to milk storage means comprising a cooling tank (30). For cleaning purposes the milk line system from each milk collecting means can be shut off from the milk tank by valve means (32) in order for separate cleaning of the milk line system. The invention is characterised by preventing any possible leakage of detergent from a cleaning fluid to the milk that has been collected in the milk tank, by providing a pressure difference between the two fluids. The pressure difference between the fluids is preferably achieved by connecting the cleaning fluid to the vacuum supply (4) of the milking plant.
Patent CA-2381605-A1 (CA)
Title: Dynamic generation of program execution trace files in a standard markup language
Inventor: BARCLAY BRAD J
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2002-04-12
Abstract: The placement of trace points in software code being developed in a software development tool leads to the generation of trace point messages when the code is executed. These trace point messages are listened for by aspects of the software development tool.  Responsive to receiving one of the trace point messages, the software development tool may write information to a trace file. Advantageously, the trace file is formatted using a standard markup language format, such as HTML. Consequently, the trace file is readily readable (including information-conveying formatting) by a standard, freely available web browser, rather than a proprietary tool.

Inventor: DUTTA RABINDRANATH
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2001-03-05
Abstract: In a system and method for transferring information using a client/server network, link popularity information characterising the popularity of files linked to a requested file may be transmitted from a server to a client. The popularity may include the relative likelihood of a user request for each of the linked files. The link popularity information may be used in selecting only the more popular linked files for anticipatory caching. The files corresponding to the links most likely to be selected by a user may be loaded into the cache memory of the server and/or downloaded to the client, in advance of any link selection by the user. Ordering of files for anticipatory caching based on their popularity may provide a high probability that the file corresponding to a selected link is already stored on a client computer at the time the link is selected. The time between selection of the link by a user and viewing of the corresponding file may therefore be shortened. Because the most popular linked files are cached first, and less popular files may not be selected for anticipatory caching at all, the time and resources needed to perform the caching may also be reduced as compared to the case of anticipatory caching of all files linked to a requested file.
