Title: Improvement for tape measure
Inventor: LEE RULE
IPC: G01B3/10
Filed: 1996-11-15
Granted: 2005-04-05
Abstract: An improvement for the structure of end hook for the tape measure consists of a U-shaped flexible elongated metal folder and a conventional end hook. The U-shaped flexible elongated metal folder, having a slim parallel gap which is slightly greater than the thickness of the metallic tape, sandwiches the tape therebetween at the outer end of the tape below the end hook. At the outer edge of the tape, there is a rectangular notch, whose depth is equal to or a little greater than the thickness of the end hook. The flexible elongated metal folder is longer than the end hook, with the closed end thereof engaging the said rectangular notch, so that there is an extended portion stretching beyond the inner end of the end hook. The conventional end hook is mounted on the said metal folder and the tape, overlapping with the metal folder and the tape, then all these three elements are riveted together. The extended portion of the metal folder without overlapping with the end hook is riveted with the tape only. The reeinforcement with the additional U-shaped flexible elongated metal folder improves the structure of conventional end hook in enhancing considerably the strength to withstand the stress of impact, forfending the usual disadvantage of fracture or rupture of the tape and rivet failure.
Patent CA-2206827-C (CA)
Inventor: VLAHOS PAUL
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 1997-06-03
Granted: 2003-09-23
Abstract: The invention is a method used with a system for compositing a foreground scene including a subject before a nonuniformly illuminated colored backing, and a background scene, and where the nonuniformity is nonlinear from side to side and/or nonlinear from top to bottom. A window is employed to mask unwanted areas outside of, or on, the colored backing and one or more window edges form a visible join line where the window edges join the backing. The visible join line is made nonvisible without affecting the subject by a horizontal and vertical linear interpolation method for obtaining backing corrections that cause the backing level control signal to be uniform at the window edges and match an assigned window signal level.

Patent CA-2214217-C (CA)
Title: Switching power supply apparatus
Inventor: TSUJI HITOSHI
IPC: H02J1/00
Filed: 1997-08-28
Granted: 2001-01-23
Abstract: A  switching  power  supply  apparatus  designed  for suitably controlled stabilization of its output.   The apparatus has a charge control circuit.   If the voltage across an input capacitor is lower than a set voltage when a main power supply switching element turns on, a control circuit  switching  element  turns  on  and  energy  is transferred  from an  input  power  source  by  conduction through  the  control  circuit  switching  element  and  an inductance, and the inductance stores transferred energy. When the main switching element turns off,  the charge control circuit turns off the control circuit switching element to supply the stored energy in the inductance to the input capacitor.  If the voltage across the input capacitor is equal to or higher than the set voltage when the main switching element turns on, the control circuit switching element is maintained in the off state and the inductance cannot store energy.   The voltage across the input capacitor is thereby limited.  In this manner, the voltage across the input capacitor is controlled so as to be stabilized at the set voltage.  This stabilizes the output voltage of the apparatus and improves its circuit efficiency.

Abstract: An ion exchange separation, recovery and regeneration process for the control of iron has been developed to replace the conventional bleed stream process used in copper electrowinning.  The process minimizes the loss of cobalt from the electrowinning circuit and strips the iron into a sulfate-based solution suitable for leach solution makeup.  In addition, this process can effect a lowering of the total iron concentration in the electrolyte circuit with an associated increase in current efficiency.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for creating positive pressure in a speed reduction tool of a drilling turbine. A first step involves providing a speed reduction tool with a floating piston having a first face in communication with a sealed planetary gear assembly and a second face. A second step involves providing means for diverting a primary flow of drilling fluids around the second face of the floating piston, thereby isolating the second face of the floating piston from the primary flow of drilling fluid. A third step involves providing a secondary drilling fluid diversion passage that extends from a selected one of a plurality of stages of a drilling turbine to the second face of the floating piston. The second face of the floating piston is exposed only to drilling fluid from the secondary drilling fluid diversion passage. A desired pressure is selected by a positioning of the secondary drilling fluid diversion passage relative to the plurality of stages.
