Patent CA-2628389-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TANG JIAN-ZHENG
IPC: C03C27/12
Filed: 1995-09-28
Abstract: Vacuum glazings and methods of manufacture thereof are described; the glazings provide improved shear stress resistance in that the vacuum glazing comprises two sheets of glass (2, 3), hermetically sealed around the edge (4), with a thermally insulating internal vacuum, and an array of support pillars (5) placed between the glass sheets (2, 3), wherein the pillars (5) consist of a core (13), made of a material of higher compressive strength, with at least one end covered by a layer of softer material (14). Alternatively, the vacuum glazing comprises two sheets of glass (2, 3), hermetically sealed around the edge (4), with a thermally insulating vacuum, and an array of support pillars (5) placed between the glass sheets (2, 3), wherein the array includes a small number of fused solder glass pillars located over the surface of the glazing, between pillars of higher compressive strength. Advantageously the support pillars (5) comprise two flat parallel ends (15, 16) shaped to provide stable equilibrium, and sides (17) shaped to provide unstable equilibrium, to ensure that the pillars when placed on a glass sheet will fall onto one of the flat faces (15, 16) and thereafter lie on that face.

Abstract: Methods are provided for treating suspensions of particles to improve the drainage rate and/or the solids content of flocs of the particles. The method includes the steps of (i) providing a suspension which comprises particles in a fluid; (ii) adding a cyclodextrin compound to the suspension; and (iii) dewatering the suspension by removing at least a portion of the fluid to form a cake comprising the particles. The cyclodextrin compound desirably is added in an amount effective to increase the dewatering rate of the flocs, to increase the solids content, or both, over that rate, solids content, or both, that would be obtained without the addition of the cyclodextrin compound. The suspension may be, for example, a biological or non-biological sludge, or a suspension of pulp fibers, such as in a pulping or papermaking process.

Title: Search, transfer, and booking tool for multiple reward programs
Inventor: KNONER DAVID
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2007-02-16
Abstract: Many customers are members of multiple frequent customer programs. When a customer wishes to book reward travel, searching each frequent customer program of which the customer is a member is difficult and time-consuming. A rewards program provider, such as a transactional account company, can provide members the opportunity to link frequent customer programs to the rewards program. When a customer searches for reward travel, the customer enters the request through the rewards program provider. The rewards program provider then sends a request to each frequent customer program which includes the customer identification. The frequent customer programs each return a search result tailored to the specific customer, taking into consideration the customer's status and point balance in the frequent customer program. The rewards program provider then allows the customer to book a selected reservation using points corresponding to a specific frequent customer program and/or points corresponding to the provider's rewards program.
