Patent CA-2229767-A1 (CA)
Title: Method of correcting an object-dependent spectral shift in radar interferograms
Inventor: DAVIDSON GORDON
IPC: G01S13/90
Filed: 1998-02-17
Abstract: A method of correcting an object-dependent spectral shift in radar interferograms has two main procedures.  In the first, the phase of the interferogram is reconstructed through phase unwrapping and subsequently smoothed for reducing noise.  In the second, the two complex-value radar images intended for forming the interferogram are suitably multiplied by a factor derived from the smoothed phase, and are subsequently low-pass-filtered.          The spectral shift dependent on the local inclination of the terrain is thus adaptively corrected and the decorrelation caused by the image geometry is extensively eliminated.  Particularly in the region of critical, mountainous terrain, the phase noise drops to a very low level.

Title: System and method for minimizing slag carryover during the tapping of a bof converter in the production of steel
Inventor: GOLDSTEIN DANIEL A
IPC: G01J5/00
Filed: 1998-03-30
Abstract: A system and method for detecting molten slag in a tap stream between a steel making basic oxygen furnace (BOF) and corresponding ladle. BOFs are used in the manufacture of steel. An infrared (IR) imaging or detecting device is used to image/view the BOF-to-ladle tap stream, the steam transmitting energy indicative of whether molten steel and/or slag is in the stream at a given time. The imaging device uses mainly long IR wavelengths (e.g. wavelengths of from about 8 to 14 µm) when imaging the molten tap stream, because these wavelengths are less susceptible to being blocked or absorbed by airborne gases and particles frequently found in BOF environments. In certain embodiments, all IR wavelengths other than those greater than about 8 µm are filtered out and are not used to detect slag in the tap stream.

Patent CA-2237402-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for electrically destroying a syringe needle
Inventor: BUTLER WILLIAM F
IPC: A61L11/00
Filed: 1996-11-04
Abstract: After a needle is received in a loading position, the needle carriage (210) is rotated downwardly to a cutoff position. At the cutoff position, two opposing contact blades (220, 230) pinch the needle, which electrically connects the positive and negative terminals of a battery. Current flows through the contact blades (220, 230) and the needle, thereby melting the needle. A slight further rotation of the needle carriage (210) causes the contact blades (220, 230) to shear the needle. The sheared portion of the needle then falls into a waste compartment. When the syringe is removed from the needle carriage (210), the needle carriage (210) rotates upwardly and returns to the loading position. Torsion spring (236) provides constant pressure against a contact blade (230) to maintain the needle carriage (210) in the loading position in the absence of any downward pressure.

Title: System and process for necking containers
Inventor: ASCHBERGER ANTON A
IPC: B21D51/26
Filed: 1997-03-31
Abstract: A system and process of necking an upper end (10) of a metallic container that will reduce the incidence of defects such as wrinkles and puckers during the necking process includes steps of performing a first stage operation to reduce a radius of said upper end by a first distance, and incrementally further reducing the radius of the upper end by performing a plurality of subsequent reduction operations on the upper end. Advantageously, the subsequent reduction operations are performed so that the amount of radius reduction that is applied by earlier of the subsequent reduction operations is less than the amount of radius reduction that is applied by later of the subsequent reduction operations. As a result, increases of wall thickness that occur during the subsequent reduction operations will be utilized to permit greater radial reduction in the later steps, and will ease the amount of radial reduction in the earlier steps, reducing the potential for defects such as puckering and wrinkling.
