Patent CA-2317328-A1 (CA)
Title: Freshness-retaining agent and method for agricultural/horticultural products
Inventor: IIJIMA YOSHIHIKO
IPC: A23B7/154
Filed: 2000-09-01
Abstract: A freshness-retaining agent for an agricultural or horticultural product comprises an organic acid and a hydrgencarbonate. The organic acid may preferably be an organic acid which in the presence of water given off from the agricultural or horticultural product, reacts with the hydrogencarbonate such that carbon dioxide gas is gradually generated, for example, cinnamic acid, benzoic acid or citric acid or a derivative thereof. The hydrgencarbonate may preferably be sodium hydrogencarbonate. The freshness of the agricultural or horticultural product can be retained by causing the freshness-retaining agent to exist in the same atmosphere as the agricultural or horticultural product such that the freshness-retaining agent is allowed to gradually generate carbon dioxide gas in the presence of water given off from the agricultural or horticultural product.
Patent CA-2319001-A1 (CA)
Title: Smokeless gas generant compositions
Inventor: BURNS SEAN P
IPC: B60R21/26
Filed: 1999-02-26
Abstract: Thermally stable gas generant compositions incorporate a combination of one or more primary nonazide high-nitrogen fuels selected from a group including tetrazoles, bitetrazoles, and traizoles, and salts thereof; and one or more secondary nonazide high nitrogen fuels selected from azodicarbonamide and hydrazodicarbonamide. The primary and secondary fuels are combined with phase-stablilized ammonium nitrate that when combusted, results in a greater yield of gaseous products per mass unit of gas generant, a reduced yield of solid combustion products, lower combustion temperatures, and acceptable burn rates, thermal stability, and ballistic properties. These compositions are especially suitable for inflating air bags in passenger-restraint devices.
Patent CA-2319106-A1 (CA)
Title: Injection device
Inventor: GABRIEL JOCHEN
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 1998-08-07
Abstract: An injection device comprising a housing (50, 60) with a spring (94) arranged therein in order to accumulate energy for an injection process. The spring (94) impinges upon a squeezing member (92) in a proximal direction to enable injection fluid (16) to be squeezed out of a container which is displaceably mounted in the housing and which has an injection needle (18) secured to the end thereof. A displacement member (36) is arranged in the housing. Said member can move in a longitudinal direction and push the container in a proximal direction, thereby causing the needle to be inserted.  A detent lug (100) is provided on the squeezing member (92). A corresponding detent opening (102) in the displacement member (36) is associated therewith. A control member (70) operating according to the travel path is used to disengage the detent lug (100) from the detent opening (102) when the displacement member (36) has completed a specific travel path in a proximal direction.

Patent CA-2321009-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DUBOIS VINCENT
IPC: G05B19/418
Filed: 2000-09-27
Abstract: An automated manufacturing control system greatly reduces the human interaction relative to the data transfer, physical verification and process control associated with the movement of electronic components in a PCB assembling plant.      This is achieved by the use of data carriers, which are attached to the packaging, e.g. trays, reels and tubes. These data carriers can store all the relevant material and production data required by the various elements of the manufacturing system. Various readers, integrated with controllers and application software, are located at strategic points of the production area, including production equipment and storage areas, to enable automatic data transfer and physical verification that the right material is at the right place at the right time.

Patent CA-2333948-A1 (CA)
Title: Internally profiled stator tube
Inventor: UNDERWOOD LANCE D
IPC: F04C2/107
Filed: 1999-06-03
Abstract: A thick walled Moineau-style stator (320) and method of manufacture are disclosed. The outer profile (355) of the stator follows the inner helical profile (353) of the stator.  The application of an elastomeric layer (330) to the inner profile of the stator results in a constant thickness for the elastomeric layer and proximity for the walls of the stator. This improves the durability of the motor because of lower heat generation and better heat dissipation. The stator walls also support the elastomeric layer. Further, the thick walls of the preferred stator eliminate the need for additional drill piping or other support provided adjacent the stator.  Thus, the cost of additional piping and difficulties placing a stator inside drill pipe or drill string housing are eliminated. Further, the improved strength of thick wall steel when contrasted to a thin wall counterpart allows a higher operating pressure drop for a given stator length, resulting in a higher power output. Moreover, the undulating outer profile of the stator provides a distinctive appearance to the stator piping.

Abstract: A method of obtaining by use of a laser measuring appa-ratus position measurement er-ror information of a body to be moved under computer con-trol in a volumetric space along paths having designated mea-suring points for position error evaluation or correction. The method in a preferred form in-cludes the steps of directing a laser beam in a given direc-tion in said space and placing a laser beam reflector on the body to be moved in directions non-parallel to said direction, the reflector being sufficiently large that it will receive and re-flect said directed laser beam back to said apparatus for ac-tual reflector distance measure-ment along the beam path as said body is so moved. Then, with the computer of said sys-tem moving said body along said non-parallel paths measur-ing and recording with said ap-paratus the actual positions of said reflector along said beam path as the body reaches said various measuring points. The actual reflector position measurements are compared with the ideal reflector measurements and from the reflector position error so determined the body position error components at said measuring points are computed.
