Title: Hemming machine
Inventor: RAFFIN LOUIS
IPC: B21D39/02
Filed: 2000-10-17
Abstract: A hemming machine of the type having a base, a nest for supporting a sheet metal part to be hemmed, and at least one die is disclosed in which the nest supporting the part to be hemmed is vertically displaced against the dies in order to form the hem. The improvement includes at least three elongated and external shafts wherein each shaft has one end rotatably mounted to the base so that the shafts are spaced apart and parallel with each other. A nut threadably engages each shaft, and these nuts are swivelly secured to the nest which permits a small amount of angular and radial deflection of the nut and shafts during movement of the nest from its lower to its upper position. An electric servo-motor is associated with each threaded shaft to rotatably drive the shafts substantially in unison with each other during the travel approach phase, and then allows in final a slight disynchronization of them, to insure an equalization of the hemming effort applied on each edge of the part, in both pre-hemming and hemming operations.

Patent CA-2338892-A1 (CA)
Title: System and method for registering a wireless unit at the border between geographic service areas
Inventor: SMITH HAROLD ROBERT JR
IPC: H04W8/06
Filed: 2001-02-28
Abstract: An inter-system registration system involves retaining the registration information of a wireless unit in a visited system when the wireless unit registers in another system, so the registration information can be used if the wireless unit returns to the visited system. For example, when the wireless unit registers with the other system, such as a second visited system for a second geographic service area, the registration system can delay the deleting of the registration information of the wireless unit at the visited system, such as a first visited system for a first geographic service area. After receiving the registration cancellation from a home system, the first visited system for the first geographic service area can time stamp the registration information for the wireless unit and retain the registration information for the wireless unit for at least an interval of time. If the wireless unit returns to the first geographic service area, the first visited system uses the registration information retained for the wireless unit. Accordingly, the wireless unit's profile need not be sent to the first visited system, and the first visited system need not be updated again.
