Title: Roofing material fasteners, applicators and method of installation
Inventor: BINKLEY JESSE ALVIN
IPC: E04D1/34
Filed: 2008-08-14
Abstract: A roofing material fastener comprises a shank having a length dimension and a point. The shank is adapted to enable it to be driven through at least a first course of roofing material and into a roof deck. A fastener head is positioned in a region of the shank distal from the point. A spike protrusion projects from the distal region of the shank to a terminus. The length of the spike protrusion is less than one half the length of the shank, measured from the point to the fastener head. The spike protrusion is adapted to penetrate a depth less than the full depth of a second course of roofing material installed above the first course. The spike protrusion is shaped to inhibit sawing through the second course of roofing material by the spike protrusion.

Patent CA-2703467-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TAMM CHRISTOPHER LEE
IPC: A01B21/04
Filed: 2010-05-07
Abstract: A towable soil pulverizer having a longitudinal center section, and foldable wings mounted by hinges on opposite sides of the center section to fold upwardly or downwardly about substantially longitudinal hinge axes. The wings and center section have ground working rollers. Each hinge has a spaced ball joint and guide roller in roller slot. A wing float axis for each wing extends substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal hinge axis in a transverse direction, each wing also being pivotal about the float axis. The hinge design with the float axis prevents weight transfer between the center section and wing sections when the pulverizer operates over uneven soil, to provide uniform soil conditioning over the width of the pulverizer. The center section rollers are positioned ahead of (or behind or co-linear with) the wing rollers.  Components of the ball joint and roller guide in slot are fixedly and non-rotationally attached to the center section.

Title: Protocol for protecting content protection data
Inventor: TU VAN QUY
IPC: G06F21/24
Filed: 2010-08-27
Abstract: Through the use of a one-time-use nonce, the transfer of cryptographic data over a potentially insecure link in a two-factor content protection system is avoided.  The nonce may be stored encrypted with a public key from a smart card. A  random key may be used to produce a storage key, which is used to encrypt a content protection key. The random key may be stored, encrypted with a key derived from the nonce. Instead of receiving a raw content protection key over the potentially insecure link, the raw nonce is received and, once used, replaced with a new nonce.

Abstract: An apparatus (and corresponding method) for characterizing the fluid properties of a two phase fluid, e.g. steam and water, includes a restriction element (51), e.g. orifice plate or nozzle, along the flow path of the two phase fluid. At least one temperature sensor (55A, 55B) measures temperature of the two phase fluid flowing through the restriction element. A pressure sensor (57B) measures the pressure downstream of the restriction element. Time-of-f light measurements of pulses passing through the two phase fluid are made (59A, 59B). The speed of sound within the two phase fluid is calculated from the time-of-f light measurements. At least one fluid property (e.g., a vapor phase fraction) of the two phase fluid is calculated from the mea-sured pressure, the measured temperature, and the calculated speed of sound.

The primary material is heated through at a heating temperature (TA) lying between the Ac1 and the Ac3 temperature, such that at best incomplete austenitising of the primary material takes place, is placed into a press-form tool and formed therein into the formed steel part. The formed steel part is then heated to a bainite forming temperature (TB), which is above the martensite starting temperature (Ms), however below the pearlite transformation temperature of the steel, from which the primary material is produced in each case. After cooling it is maintained for an austempering period (tB) at the bainite forming temperature (TB) in a substantially isothermic manner, until the formed steel part has produced a structure consisting predominantly of ferrite and bainite, the martensite content thereof being < 5%, wherein residual austenite contents of < 10% may be present.
