Patent CA-2871325-A1 (CA)
Title: Automotive components formed of sheet metal coated with a non-metallic coating
Inventor: SCHLEICHERT EDWARD WILLIAM
IPC: C21D9/00
Filed: 2013-05-03
Abstract: An automotive component (20) is manufactured by depositing a non-metallic coating (24) on a surface of a steel blank (26) before hot stamping the steel blank (26). The non-metallic coating (24) is typically applied by physical vapor deposition. The non-metallic coating (24) is formed of one to three layers (32) each having a different composition. The non-metallic coating (24) includes at least one of silicon and carbon, and can also include oxygen, nitrogen, ceramic compounds, and carbides. The total thickness of the non-metallic coating (24) is less than 300 nm. A metallic coating (30) can be applied to the steel blank before the non-metallic coating (24). The non-metallic coating (24) provides numerous advantages, including reduced scaling during the hot stamping process.

Abstract: The process comprises: determining prescribed far vision mean power and addition for each lens of the pair; determining laterality of a wearer; defining a temporal side and a nasal side on each lens of the pair; defining, on each lens being worn and for each gaze direction, a refractive power and a module of resulting astigmatism, each gaze direction corresponding to a lowering angle and to an azimuth angle; defining a proximate vision gaze direction for each lens of the pair; defining, for each lens of the pair, a temporal half-width field of refractive power as the angular distance, at constant lowering angle, between the proximate vision gaze direction and a gaze direction on the temporal side of the lens where the refractive power reaches the value of the prescribed far vision mean power plus three quarters of the prescribed addition; defining, for each lens of the pair, a nasal half-width field of refractive power as the angular distance, at constant lowering angle, between the proximate vision gaze direction and a gaze direction on the nasal side of the lens where the refractive power reaches the value of the prescribed far vision mean power plus three quarters of the prescribed addition; defining, for each lens of the pair, a temporal half-width field of module of resulting astigmatism as the angular distance, at constant lowering angle, between the proximate vision gaze direction and a gaze direction on the temporal side of the lens where the module of resulting astigmatism reaches the value of one quarter of the prescribed addition; and defining, for each lens of the pair, a nasal half-width field of module of resulting astigmatism as the angular distance, at constant lowering angle, between the proximate vision gaze direction and a gaze direction on the nasal side of the lens where the module of resulting astigmatism reaches the value of one quarter of the prescribed addition. The ratio of the difference over the sum of temporal and nasal half-width fields of refractive power and/or the ratio of the difference over the sum of temporal and nasal half-width fields of module of resulting astigmatism are determined for each lens of the pair based on the laterality of the wearer.

Abstract: The power required to recover C3, hydrocarbons from crude carbon dioxide comprising C1+ hydrocarbons and hydrogen sulfide may be reduced by distilling the crude carbon dioxide to produce carbon dioxide-enriched overhead vapor and C3+ hydrocarbon-enriched bottoms liquid such that the hydrogen sulfide is rejected with the overhead vapor. Power consumption reductions may be achieved by incorporating a heat pump cycle using carbon dioxide vapor as working fluid to provide at least a part of the refrigeration duty and using a side reboiler to reduce the bottom reboiler duty. Where the bottoms liquid is further processed to produce "lighter" and "heavier" hydrocarbon fractions, the process enables optimization of upgrading crude oil on the basis of API gravity, Reid Vapor pressure and/or viscosity.

Title: Split walking beams for raising and lowering respective sides of a vehicle or implement frame to control a tilt angle or height thereof
Inventor: SAWATSKY ASHLEY
IPC: E02F3/85
Filed: 2015-01-07
Abstract: Vehicles or implements feature walking beam assemblies each having a front wheel and rear wheel carded adjacent opposite ends of the walking beam on opposite sides of a pivot point thereof. The conventional single beam is replaced by a split beam arrangement in which front and rear beams are pivotal relative to one another by an actuator, whereby changing the angle between the front and rear beams lifts or lowers the main pivot of the walking beam in order to adjust the height of the respective side of the vehicle frame. The split walking beam can be used to adjust the tilt angle of a scraper blade or other ground working arrangement in a land leveler or other earth working machine.

Title: Drill sample particle distributor
Inventor: LEAHY MATTHEW K
IPC: B07B13/16
Filed: 2013-12-20
Abstract: A particle distributor assembly (10) for distributing the particles of a drill sample is described. The distributor assembly comprises a stationary inlet tube (14) through which particles enter the distributor assembly (10), and a rotatable distributor head (16). The rotatable distributor head (16) has an upwardly directed inlet (18) offset from a central axis of rotation of the distributor head (16) and a transversely directed outlet (22) wherein, in use, when the distributor head (16) is rotated at high speed particles entering the distributor head inlet are accelerated outwardly in a radial direction through the distributor head outlet. The particle distributor assembly (10) also has a distributor nozzle (24) having an inlet (26) and an outlet (28), the nozzle inlet (26) being aligned with the stationary inlet tube and the nozzle outlet (28) being aligned with the distributor head inlet. The distributor nozzle (24) is supported between the inlet tube (14) and the distributor head (16) in such a manner that it is constrained from rotating whilst the nozzle outlet (28) is able to oscillate in a circular motion with the distributor head inlet (18). In use, the oscillating motion of the nozzle outlet (28) helps to promote particle flow and produce a more representative distribution of particles exiting from the distributor head outlet (22).

Abstract: A database service may provide multi-tenant and single-tenant environments in which tables may be maintained on behalf of clients. The service (or underlying system) may create database instances and tables in either or both types of environments (e.g., by default or according to various parameter values specified in requests to create the instances or tables). When receiving and servicing requests directed to a table hosted in a single-tenant environment, the system may elide at least some of the authentication or metering operations that would be performed when servicing requests directed to tables hosted in a multi-tenant environment. Tables may be moved from a single-tenant environment to a multi-tenant environment, or vice versa, automatically by the system (e.g., dependent on an observed, expected, or desired throughput) or in response to an explicit request from a client to do so (e.g., to increase throughput or reduce cost).

Abstract: A request for a purchase code may be received from a portable computing device (PCD) from a communications network. The request may further include a purchase amount and location information of the PCD. The system determines if a funding account has sufficient funds to cover the purchase amount. If the funding account has sufficient funds to cover the purchase amount, then the system generates a single-use time limited purchase code to the PCD. The system may receive the purchase code from a POS terminal and then it may determine if the received purchase code matches purchase code issued to the PCD. The system may compare the location of the PCD against the POS terminal. If a requested transaction amount is less than or equal to the purchase amount and if the purchase codes and location information match, then they system may generate a message approving the transaction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for coating a partial area of a workpiece. The invention proceeds from a method in which a screening element (15, 19) is arranged on the workpiece (10) in order to delimit the partial area to be coated. According to the invention, the screening element (15, 19) is magnetic at least during an application of a magnetisable coating material in order to allow simple and hence inexpensive coating of a partial area of a workpiece. The screening element (15, 19) is demagnetised to remove the accumulated coating material. The coating material accumulated on the screening element (15, 19) can thereby be removed very simply and quickly, and hence inexpensively.
