Abstract: A method for enabling the use of heavy oil residuum by conversion to a useful product. The method, in one embodiment, involves the use of a heavy oil residuum which is substantially non flowable. The viscosity of the residuum is reduced and subsequently mixed with water such that the mixing is high shear mixing. This results in the formation of an emulsion of predispersed residuum in an aqueous matrix.  The emulsion is formed such that the aqueous matrix is in a size distribution suitable for use as a combustible fuel.

Title: Angularly disengageable glove-to-cuff connection apparatus
Inventor: CORMIER RICHARD
IPC: A62B17/00
Filed: 2002-05-29
Granted: 2006-07-04
Abstract: An apparatus for releasably sealing the opening between a glove and the sleeve cuff to prevent ingress of water therebetween. The apparatus includes a pair of rings, one of which is attached to the wrist portion of a glove while the other is attached to the cuff portion of a sleeve. The rings are releasably engageable with one another in the sealed fashion under normal working conditions. The rings are capable of self-disengaging angularly and/or axially when subjected to an angular force or moment of predetermined magnitude and duration applied to the connection so as to permit detachment of the glove. The apparatus is particularly useful in wet mining applications not only to prevent water from entering the opening between the glove and cuff but also to disengage safely and assuredly should a glove get caught in any equipment.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for embossing and/or satin-finishing a flat material, comprising at least two embossing rolls that are linked with a drive and that can be driven individually or jointly. The rolls can be elastically pressed against each other and the pyramidal teeth of the rolls have a flattened tip. In order to produce an embossed structure with variable optical effects the teeth (T2) of at least one of the rolls are adapted to provide the flat material, especially the metallized packaging foil, with a sign (L) whose aspect varies depending on the visual angle of the viewer (O) and/or kind and/or location of the source of light (LS). These teeth (T2) have, for example, a height that is inferior to that of the remaining teeth (T1). The inventive device allows not only production of special effects by embossing but also production of security features that are especially forgery-proof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for non-intrusively modifying an executable file E comprising references (F1, F2 and F3) with functions disposed in at least one shared library B within a computer. According to the invention, at least two new files are created, a META file comprising several unresolved references (F2, F3) in executable file E and a services file comprising new functions or services (X2, X3) to be inserted in executable file E. The link editing phase assigns the unresolved references to the META file as a priority and subsequently to shared library B. When said references are listed in the META file, a link is then established for said reference between executable file E and the META file in the place of shared library B. It is then possible, in the META file, to assign one or more functions stored in service file S and/or in shared library B to said reference. The invention can be used for the non-intrusive incremental extension of operating systems. It is no longer necessary to perform modifications inside the nucleus in order to modify the performance of the system.
