Patent CA-2626391-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAMARRE YVAN
IPC: A63C17/14
Filed: 2008-04-07
Abstract: Dans la pratique du sport du patin à roues alignées, on sait que la façon usuelle de freiner est de pousser contre le sol, un sabot de freinage installé à l'arrière d'un des patins. Le patineur y parvient en levant le devant de son pied, pour ensuite pousser son talon vers le sol. Il est cependant très difficile pour celui-ci de gard er le devant de son pied en position levée lorsqu'il exerce cette poussée ; celle-ci étant e n porte à faux par rapport au sabot de freinage. Son équilibre est également difficile à garder. Le freinage s'en trouve donc réduit. La présente invention consiste en un système de freinage pour patins à roue s alignées qui permet au patineur de s'appuyer aisément, de tout son poids, su r des poignées reliées à des sabots de freinage, qui ont la particularité de pivot er de haut en bas, afin de freiner efficacement. Ces poignées, fixées à la bottine arrière de chaque patin, obligent le patineur qui les saisit, à s'accroupir. Il abaisse ainsi son centre de gravité et, par le fait même, contrôle bien son équilibre pendant le freinage.

Title: Method and apparatus for underwater tree cutting and retrieval
Inventor: MOSSMAN STEWART A
IPC: A01D44/00
Filed: 2001-07-13
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and method for cutting submerged trees at an underwater logging site and for retrieving the cut trees. Once cut, each tree is retrieved to the water surface by an inflatable bag deployed from and inflated by the apparatus. The apparatus includes a control unit positioned on a surface vessel, such as a barge or large boat, and an underwater vessel connected together by an umbilical. Preferably the underwater vessel is a remotely controllable submersible including a grapple for releasably holding each tree to be cut, a saw, a gas supply connectable to a gas source located on the surface vessel, and an air bag deployment and inflation assembly for inflating the air bag and securely attaching it to the tree. The underwater vessel is initially loaded with a plurality of air bags which are stored in a magazine located in the interior of the vessel. The air bags are sequentially moved from the magazine on to an ejection track at a front end of the vessel disposed above the saw and grapple. Each air bag is secured to a cartridge for coupling the bag to the magazine and the ejection track and for holding a tree fastener. In its uninflated state, the air bag is contained within a tubular housing which is releasably connectable to the cartridge, The housing is ejected from the cartridge when the air bag is inflated and deployed.

Title: Process and device for treating biomass
Inventor: BERGMAN PETER CHRISTIAAN ALBERT
IPC: C10L5/44
Filed: 2007-01-08
Abstract: A process for treating biomass comprises the provision of a material that contains an amount of residual moisture. The material is heated to a torrefying temperature in a low-oxygen atmosphere in the torrefaction reactor, the material being converted into a torrefied material. The material with the contained residual moisture is essentially fully dried in a drying chamber by evaporation of residual moisture. The torrefaction reactor comprises a torrefying chamber, in which the torrefaction of this dried material is essentially carried out. The material is conveyed through the torrefaction reactor in a transport direction. The drying of the material in the drying chamber is carried out by introducing into it a hot drying gas that flows through the drying chamber in co-current with the material. The torrefaction of the material in the torrefying chamber of the torrefaction reactor is carried out by introducing into it a hot torrefying gas that flows through the torrefying chamber of the torrefaction reactor in counter-current with the material.

Title: System and method for attitude control of a flight vehicle using pitch-over thrusters
Inventor: CAVALLERI ROBERT
IPC: F42B10/66
Filed: 2007-03-06
Abstract: A reliable and inexpensive attitude control system uses a plurality of pitch-over thrusters to perform rapid and precise attitude maneuvers for a flight vehicle. The pitch- over thrusters create rotational moments that directly pitch and yaw the flight vehicle. The use of very simple thrusters and control techniques provides for a reliable and cost effective solution. The ability to perform overlapping pitch and yaw maneuvers with single-shot fixed-impulse thrusters provides for high-speed maneuverability.
