Title: Method for forming solidified granular materials
Inventor: YAMAZAKI SHOUJI
IPC: B29C44/44
Filed: 2003-03-25
Abstract: A method for forming a solidified granular material (15), in which granules (16, 17) are charged into a tubular frame member (11) and then heated together with the frame member, to solidify the granules. The granules include a mixture of first granules (16) and second granules (17), each of which second granules has a thermoplastic resin shell enclosing a solid or liquid which expands by vaporization. The mixture is charged into the frame member and heated together with the frame member. The heating causes the second granules (17) to expand and the surfaces of the second granules to melt for bonding with the first granules (16). The mixture, upon cooling, becomes a solidified granular material (15), filling the frame member with no space therebetween.

Title: Casting system and method for pouring nonferrous metal molten masses
Inventor: CLOOSTERMANS LEON RAPHAEL LUCI
IPC: B22D11/103
Filed: 2004-07-09
Abstract: A casting system for pouring nonferrous metal molten masses, in particular copper or copper alloys, has a tundish and a submerged pipe feeding into a molten bath inside a thin-slab mold. Trouble-free discharge of the melt into the mold and degassing at the exposed surface of the mold is ensured. The submerged pipe leading from the tundish along a pre-defined pouring angle has first and second sections. The latter is a tip nozzle that submerses into the molten bath. It has at its wall facing the mold bottom one or more discharge openings effecting a change in the flow direction of the molten mass. A lip at the tip nozzle is spaced so as to overlap the discharge opening, to cause a second flow direction change and lateral distribution. The discharge opening and the lip are disposed inside the mold bath, below a bath surface, during operation.

Patent CA-2496275-A1 (CA)
Title: Tissu de presse anti-rehumidification
Inventor: HANSEN ROBERT A
IPC: D21F7/08
Filed: 2003-09-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne un tissu (10) de presse anti-réhumidification pour des machines de papier et de carton qui comprend une couche barrière (27), de façon que pendant la compression dans la ligne de contact de la presse, l'eau est contrainte à travers la couche barrière (27), mais ne peut pas couler de nouveau vers la bande de papier (24) pendant l'expansion. Ladite couche barrière (27) comprend un matériau continu qui possède par exemple, des inclusions coniques (30) carrées, rectangulaires, tétraédriques, circulaires ou allongées présentant une ouverture plus petite sur la partie inférieure que sur la partie supérieure de la structure. Chacun de ces <=entonnoirs>= (30) constitue de manière efficace une soupape de non-retour et crée un vide pour empêcher la réabsorption de l'eau par la bande de papier. Sous pression, la structure de ladite couche barrière (27) permet à l'eau de couler dans les cônes (30) et hors de l'ouverture la plus petite dans la partie inférieure. Pendant l'expansion, cette ouverture située dans la partie inférieure empêche l'eau de couler vers l'arrière et crée un vide sur l'autre côté. Le vide augmente la rétention d'eau dans le tissu (10) de presse et empêche la réhumidification de la bande de papier (24). Selon un autre mode de réalisation, ladite couche barrière (27) existe en tant que tissu séparé fourni par une section de presse. Dans ce mode de réalisation, le <=tissu séparé>= peut être la <=feuille d'inclusion conique>= elle-même. Ainsi, la feuille constitue une courroie présentant des propriétés d'anti-réhumidification.

Patent CA-2498162-A1 (CA)
Title: Sectional crimped graft
Inventor: CASEY THOMAS V II
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2003-04-29
Abstract: The present invention provides a sectional crimped graft that allows graft flexibility where required and limits the overall longitudinal extension. Th e present invention overcomes the disadvantage of fully crimped grafts by controlling the number of crimps per unit length, crimp height, crimp geomet ry and their location along the graft wall, dependent on the particular end-use application. In so doing, flexibility and elongation can be controllably tailored only in areas where significant anatomical angulation is present. I t may also be useful in applications other than stent grafts such as surgical grafts for aortic and peripheral areas. Limiting the overall graft longitudinal extension also facilitates the deployment of the stent-graft in to the blood vessel.

Filed: 2005-05-02
Abstract: Described is a mechanism by which application programs (or plug-ins) and an auxiliary service adjust the output and/or data available for output on an auxiliary device based on changes detected in the current context of the auxiliary display. Context sensors detect and report changes in context, whereby some action is taken with respect to what information is displayed or can be displayed on the auxiliary display device. Examples of context data that can change include the physical location of the display, detected movement or motion data, presence of a particular user or others, power state, network connectivity status, privacy status and so forth. The auxiliary device can have context as to its position relative to the main display. Information sensitivity levels may be used to specify whether an application program's data can be displayed, based on the perceived sensitivity of the information and the user's current context.
