Title: Friction creating device for restraining cargo movement
Inventor: SAVARD MICHEL
IPC: B65D90/00
Filed: 1999-09-17
Abstract: An adapter for increasing the frictional force generated by a spacer interposed between a pair of items. The spacer defining a pair of opposed load bearing surfaces and a pair of spacing surfaces. The adapter includes a relatively flat plate defining a pair of plate surfaces, a pair of opposed contacting edges and a pair of spacing edges. A fixing component is provided for fixing the plate to one of the spacing surfaces of the spacer. A set of friction increasing teeth extend from at least one of the contacting edges for increasing the friction coefficient of the contacting edge with an item. The plate is configured and sized so that the friction enhancing teeth protrude from one of the load bearing surfaces when the plate is mounted on the spacer. In one embodiment, the adapter also includes an auxiliary friction enhancing segment for enhancing the friction between the adapter and contacting items. The auxiliary friction enhancing segment includes an auxiliary section having a generally "L" shaped configuration and extending substantially perpendicularly from one of the contacting edges so that the adapter with its auxiliary section has a generally "U" shaped cross sectional configuration.  The "L" shaped auxiliary section defines a first auxiliary segment extending substantially perpendicularly from one of thecontacting edges. The first auxiliary segment is configured and sized so as to override one of the load bearing surfaces.The first auxiliary segment bends integrally and substantially perpendicularly into a second auxiliary segment. The second auxiliary segment defines a pair of second auxiliary segment contacting edges. At least one of the second auxiliary segment contacting edges is provided with corresponding friction teeth extending therefrom. In yet another embodiment, an abutment plate extends substantially perpendicularly from the first auxilliary segment.

Title: Formage a froid
Inventor: BLAZLEY WADE HYLTON
IPC: B21D13/04
Filed: 1998-03-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé qui permet de former à froid en continu une bande de matériau, afin de produire des éléments de construction présentant des nervures transversales sur au moins une partie de leur surface. Former à froid des éléments de ce type est souvent difficile à cause de la tendance inhérente d'une bande mince à se tordre et à se déformer quand elle sort du système de formage des nervures transversales. La présente invention résout ce problème en proposant un système de libération des contraintes, qui permet d'appliquer une charge de compression sur les nervures transversales immédiatement après chaque paire de rouleaux formant lesdites nervures. Le système de libération des contraintes comprend un premier système rouleau et un second système rouleau, qui forment une pince pouvant recevoir la bande nervurée (8). Chaque système rouleau est disposé de façon à entrer en contact avec une partie crête externe de chaque nervure (5) qui se projette vers lui. Le second système rouleau est constitué d'une paire de seconds rouleaux (14, 15) séparés, coextensifs et sensiblement parallèles, et le premier système rouleau est constitué d'un premier rouleau (16) sensiblement parallèle, coextensif et équidistant par rapport à chacun desdits seconds rouleaux (14, 15).

Title: Data cartridge library system
Inventor: RINARD GREGORY S
IPC: G11B33/14
Filed: 1998-04-30
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a data cartridge library system that realizes a reduced cost by reducing the number of certain components, especially expensive components, that are needed to perform certain functions within the library.      With respect to certain functions, a reduced cost is realized by using lower precision componentry in combination with componentry that compensates for lower precision while still providing a reduced component cost with respect to a given function. In one embodiment of the invention, a data cartridge picker is provided that: (1) uses a single electro-mechanical device for the functions of grasping a data cartridge, retracting a grasped cartridge from a drive/storage location, inserting a grasped cartridge into a drive/storage location, and releasing a grasped cartridge once position in a desired location; (2) is capable of compensating for variations in cartridge positioning; (3) has a gripping mechanism that moves in a sinusoidal manner, and (4) avoids the wear and tear associated with moving fully retracted gripper mechanism that is not holding a data cartridge from a fully retracted position to a position at which a cartridge can be retrieved. Another embodiment provides an elevator mechanism for moving the cartridge picker in which the guiding portion of the mechanism is also part of the portion of the mechanism that moves the cartridge picker. A  further embodiment employs a face plate extension that facilitates insertion of a data cartridge into a drive by a low precision cartridge transport device. Yet another embodiment provides a removable data cartridge holder that: (1) includes a box-like structure for holding data cartridges and a dust cover that can be placed over the opening of the box-like structure when the holder is not in use and when the holder is in use, attached to the box-like portion; (2) an orientation structure that prevents insertion of a data cartridge into the box-like holder if the cartridge is improperly oriented; and (3) retention clips for preventing accident dislodgement of a data cartridge located in the box-like structure.

Inventor: DABLEH YOUSSEF HANNA
IPC: C02F1/04
Filed: 1999-12-17
Abstract: An improved continuous process and apparatus for treating an impure liquid to produce purified liquid, particularly, water, the process comprising electrically activating a thermoelectric module to provide a first heated surface and a cooler surface; feeding the impure liquid to the first heated surface to produce vapour of the liquid; and transferring the vapour to the cooler surface to effect heat transfer to the cooler surface, the improvement comprising directing a minor portion of the vapour to the cooler surface to maintain the cooler surface at a temperature at or near the boiling point of the liquid; and transferring a major portion of the vapour to condensation means remote from the module to effect heat transfer and condensation of the vapour to produce the purified liquid and collecting the purified liquid from the condensation means. The process is continuous in that it does not need to be intermittently stopped, or require auxiliary cooling of the module. Preferably, the heat from the condenser is transferred to pre-heat the impure liquid feed.

Patent CA-2311451-A1 (CA)
Title: Extravasation detection
Inventor: GOODMAN JACK
IPC: A61M5/158
Filed: 1997-11-26
Abstract: A medical extravasation device has an electrode patch that can attach to the skin for sensing electrical information. Tissue impedance is calculated from the electrode patch signals. The patch has elongate pick-up electrodes inboard of elongate energizing electrodes. The measuring zone determined by the elongate space between the pick-up electrodes enhances sensitivity and specificity. The presence of an extravasation is determined by interpreting the tissue impedance measurement.  The method for determining the extravasation includes a first step of determining a pre-injection baseline measurement of the tissue impedance. Then, the tissue impedance is monitored during the procedure itself. A predetermined amount of change in tissue impedance is determined to indicate an extravasation.
