Title: Method and apparatus for handling tubular goods
Inventor: KAISER TRENT MICHAEL VICTOR
IPC: E21B23/00
Filed: 2000-03-22
Abstract: An apparatus for handling tubular goods which includes an elongate body having a coupling end adapted for mating engagement with a tubular good. The coupling end includes a structural member, a flexible cylindrical cage and a pressure member.  Longitudinal strips joined at their opposed ends form the cage coaxial with and connected to the structural member of the body. The coaxial pressure member is disposed in an annulus between the structural member and the cage. The pressure member is adapted to cause radial displacement of the cage, thereby exerting a gripping force to maintain the mating engagement between the tubular good and the coupling end enabling a transfer of force between the body and the tubular good.

Title: Production of microcrystalline cellulose by reactive extrusion
Inventor: HANNA MILFORD
IPC: C08H8/00
Filed: 1998-09-17
Abstract: This process involves feeding cellulose into an extruder with an acid solution. The extruder is comprised of a screw and a barrel. The screw is rotated so as to pressurize the cellulose, and the cellulose undergoes acid hydrolysis and forms microcrystalline cellulose. The invented process can be accomplished by using pure cellulose or a lignocellulosic material as the starting material. If a lignocellulosic material is used, then a basic solution is added to it and the lignocellulosic material is fed through an extruder so as to obtain a mixture comprising lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose. The lignin and hemicellulose are extracted and the remaining cellulose is processed, as discussed previously, to form microcrystalline cellulose.

Patent CA-2309916-A1 (CA)
Title: Ultrasonic system for grading meat
Inventor: KISHONI DORON
IPC: G01N33/12
Filed: 1998-11-10
Abstract: An ultrasonic system for grading meat (10) transmits an ultrasonic signal (20) into the meat (10) and detects the resulting back-scattered signal. The envelope of the back-scattered signal is determined. A decaying exponential curve having the form y - exp(-Dt) is fitted to the envelope, where D is the attenuation factor for the curve and t is time. A  grade of the meat (10) is then determined as a function of the attenuation factor. The accuracy of this approach can be improved by measuring the total back-scattered energy from the back-signal and generating a grade for the meat (10) based on a polynomial function of both the attenuation factor and the total back-scattered energy.  Accuracy can be further enhanced by removing any anomalies in the back-scattered signal resulting from fat deposits in the meat (10) before calculating the attenuation factor.
Patent CA-2310554-A1 (CA)
Title: Method of controlling the attitude of a boat at high speed through boat hull design and a boat hull
Inventor: CHRUNYK ROB
IPC: B63B1/20
Filed: 2000-06-01
Abstract: A method of controlling the attitude of a boat at high speed through boat hull design involves a first step of forming a pair of high speed steps in the hull of the boat. The pair of high speed steps provide enough surface area to control ride attitude, while reducing the wetted area of the hull to decrease drag. A second step involves forming transition steps to provide a transition to the high speed steps as the boat accelerates. In addition to reducing drag, the method aids in turning and lifting of the hull by trapping air and water in the steps.

Title: Telecommunications inter-exchange measurement transfer
Inventor: WALLENTIN PONTUS
IPC: H04W48/06
Filed: 1999-03-02
Abstract: Telecommunications network decision making (such as call admission and call congestion control) utilizes as input, not only information in the cell where the call is setup, but also cell condition information from cells which neighbor the cell where the call is setup. The cell condition information from neighboring cells is obtained even in situations in which the neighboring cell is controlled by another exchange, e.g., another radio network controller (RNC). In an illustrated embodiment, the cell condition information utilized by the decision making includes measured data taken over at least a multiconnection portion of cell, one example of which is radio interference information. The cell condition information utilized in the network decision making is transmitted between exchanges (e.g., between radio network controllers (RNCs)) using common channel signaling.

Title: Digital content downloading system using networks
Inventor: MORIYAMA TERUHIKO
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2000-10-11
Abstract: An optical network unit of each consumer is connected to an optical line terminator of a network operator through a subscriber line formed of an optical fiber. When a particular consumer desires to download digital content from a content retailer to the particular consumer through a network of the network operator, the particular consumer requests a bandwidth reservation of a resource reservation server of the network operator, so that a transmission condition composed of a bandwidth and a time zone is reserved in cases where the downloading of the digital content at the transmission condition is possible.  Thereafter, the bandwidth reservation is sent to a downward bandwidth managing unit, and the digital content is downloaded from the content retailer to the particular consumer through the network of the network operator at the transmission condition according to the bandwidth reservation under control of the downward bandwidth managing unit. Accordingly, a time period required for the downloading of the digital content can be easily predicted, and an operational efficiency of the downloading can be improved.
