Patent CA-2172417-A1 (CA)
Title: Centre sill articulated device connection for high capacity railroad car
Inventor: FORBES JAMES WILFRED
IPC: B61G9/20
Filed: 1996-03-22
Abstract: A sill and connector assembly for a railcar end structure associated with a railcar truck having a capacity of at least approximately 100 tons. The assembly comprises a centre sill and a railcar connector. The sill is provided in the railcar end structure and comprises spaced apart upper and lower members and spaced apart side members. The upper and lower members are joined to the side members to form a receptacle. The upper member of the centre sill is substantially coplanar with a structural member of the railcar end structure which is connected to opposed side walls of the railcar. The upper, lower and side members of the centre sill define an outer peripheral engagement edge at an outboard end of the sill. The railcar connector has an outboard end portion and an inboard end portion. The outboard end portion provides a coupling for articulated connection to a corresponding connector of another railcar. The inboard end portion is received in the receptacle of the centre sill and defines a peripheral abutment surface for engagement and welded attachment of the railcar connector to the outer peripheral engagement edge of the sill. The peripheral abutment surface of the inboard end portion of the connector is brought into circumferential contact with the outer peripheral engagement edge of the sill when the inboard end portion is received in the receptacle means of the centre sill. The peripheral abutment surface and the outer peripheral engagement edge together form a continuous circumferential channel for a welded connection between the railcar connector and the sill.

Title: Dispenser package
Inventor: GOH DJING SAN
IPC: B65D83/04
Filed: 1996-04-22
Abstract: A packaging-type tablet dispenser consists of two major sections connected by a thin plastic hinge joint and made in a single injection molding step. After the box is filled with its intended contents, a closing cap is engaged with the container portion of the dispenser which correctly and automatically positions itself in one of two desired positions:  one of which is the closed position and the other of which is a dispensing position.  A clearly discernible click noise is generated as the cap is moved to each of the defined positions.  The packaging box can be operated single-handedly and the tablets can be seen in the dispensing chamber before being removed.

Abstract: Output signals are served from a serving device to a plurality of browsing devices connected to a network.  The output  signals represent commands executable by each browsable device so as to display viewable data in accordance with specified  page formatting.  Requests from browsing clients are identified which contain information relating to the data itself and the display format for the data. The data is read and processed so as to combine a representation of the viewable data with executable instructions.  The signals are then  supplied to requesting browsing devices, after effectively being assembled as a real time on-line process.

Abstract: An  optical  fiber  dispenser  (40) includes a bobbin  (42),  an  optical  fiber pack (52) overlying the    bobbin   (42),   and   a   thermal   expansion accommodation   layer  (50)  positioned  between  the bobbin  (42) and  the  optical fiber pack (52).  The thermal  expansion  accommodation  layer (50) is made of  a material, such as a silicone elastomer, that is readily   deformable  to  accommodate  the  different longitudinal  coefficients  of  thermal  expansion of the  bobbin  (42)  and  the  optical fiber pack (52). The  thermal expansion accommodation layer (50) has a thickness,  typically  more than about 1/8 inch for a conventional  bobbin  size,  sufficient to reduce any thermal    stresses   produced   by   the   different longitudinal  coefficients  of  thermal  expansion to less  than  the failure strength of the optical fiber pack (52).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for verifying the condition of an electrical insulator which is placed between two live conducting elements which are separated by the insulator. The insulator has a continuous electrically insulating core that may be covered with other types of insulating material. The insulator may also be a lightening arrester consisting of stacked insulating discs. An electric field detecting apparatus is positioned at a plurality of locations along the insulator to measure the intensity of an electric field created along the insulator. At each location a detected signal value of the electric field is stored within the apparatus and all of these signals are analyzed to detect deviations from expected values of the electric field and indicative of a fault(s) along the insulator.
Patent CA-2183624-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JANUSZ MICHAEL
IPC: B21H3/10
Filed: 1996-08-19
Abstract: A self-drilling/self-tapping fastener which is suitable for attaching a sprinkler system to a metal supporting structure has a driving head and an integral shank with a threaded portion. Process-hardening and threading of the shank harden the shank to a degree of hardness that retains sufficient ductility for resisting vibration loads. The drill tip at the end of the shank and the lead threads adjacent the drill tip are locally hardened to a relatively high degree-of hardness for drilling and tapping the metal support members. A graduated transition zone separates the high-hardness zone from the lower-hardness zone, which allows for a single fastener to exhibit two distinctly different material properties-in one fastener. The fastener through this dual process also exhibits two distinct load-carrying capabilities.
