IPC: G01F25/00
Filed: 2006-08-04
Abstract: Méthode d'élimination ou de réduction des erreurs de lecture d'un débitmètre de solides à micro-ondes sans contact mesurant le débit de particules solides. Cette méthode convient particulièrement aux procédures d'étalonnage avant l'installation dans un système d'exploitation. Le débitmètre est très sensible et peut détecter la rétrodiffusion provenant de poussière ou de nuages de particules d'un produit de particules qui s'accumulent dans l'espace au-dessus de la matière particulaire du produit livré dans le bac de récupération. Les lectures qui comprennent une rétrodiffusion provenant d'un nuage de poussière dépassent le débit réel. L'invention réduit ou élimine les lectures de rétrodiffusion qui comprennent le nuage de poussière de matière particulaire en fixant un blindage réfléchissant l'énergie de rétrodiffusion et pouvant être fabriqué en grillage métallique jusqu'à la sortie de la gaine de sortie. Le blindage se prolonge vers l'accumulation de matière particulaire. Pendant la procédure d'étalonnage, le blindage réfléchissant est continuellement déplacé afin de ne pas entrer en contact avec la matière qui s'accumule.

Patent CA-2563025-A1 (CA)
Title: Adaptive load-clamping system
Inventor: SEABERG RICHARD D
IPC: B25J13/00
Filed: 1999-09-13
Abstract: A fluid power load-clamping system has a clamp actuated by fluid pressure regulated by at least one fluid valve. The valve may increase a maximum fluid pressure automatically in response to a weight of a load. A controller causes the valve to permit a relatively high maximum fluid pressure as the clamp closes toward the load to enable high initial clamp closure speed. Thereafter the valve automatically reduces the maximum pressure as clamping surfaces close into a pre-determined relationship with the load, and then increases the maximum pressure to regulate the gripping force. Gripping pressure may be regulated continuously while the load is supported by the clamp. A weight measurement system may compensate for a position of the lifting mechanism.
Patent CA-2564933-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PAINCHAUD ALAIN
IPC: F03G1/00
Filed: 2006-10-19
Abstract: The Subject Matter of this invention is to recuperate Rotational Energy created by unpredictable sources of energy and transform it into Potential Energy by lifting weight(s), using springs or magnetic fields or any other form of ways to store potential energy.  Ultimately, this Potential Energy will be transformed in smaller consecutive packets into Rotational Energy that will be finally converted into Electrical Energy with a more stable output of energy.  This stabilization of Energy Output is done by adding or removing packets of potential energy so that Rotational Energy is controlled and so is the Electrical Energy.   More or less, if we take the case of wind energy, instead of producing directly Electrical Energy with the wind / rotational energy, we store it into multiple packets of potential energy and we let the potential energy go in predetermined packet size so that the output of energy is more stable. Said otherwise, instead of delivering big cluster of electrical energy, it delivers a constant output of electrical energy because we liberate the potential energy in predetermined packet size in order to have a stable electrical output. We can also take the case of lost energy removed from a vehicle. In this case, it is interesting to transform the lost energy of vehicle into potential energy and, ultimately, transform the potential energy into electrical energy with a more stable output.
