Title: Mining optimisation
Inventor: STONE PETER MITCHELL
IPC: E21C41/26
Filed: 2006-03-29
Abstract: A method, system and computer program for modelling an optimal mine plan is disclosed. The life of mine is divided into a plurality of increasing lengths of time (Figures 2 and 3) and performing optimisation steps, with each step being performed once for a predetermined time period for the remaining life of mine. Material may be stockpiled or may be sent direct to product or to waste without any stockpiling. A decision (block 10 in Figure 1) is made as to which material is sent to product in each time period for the remaining life of mine. In each predetermined time period, material with a grade greater than a marginal grade that is not sent to produce is sent to stockpile and all material less than a marginal grade is sent to waste (14). In the remaining life of mine, after the predetermined period, it is required that all material not sent to produce be sent to waste and determining an initial movement of material to and from the stockpile and to and from the mine to product over the life of mine in increasing lengths of time.

Filed: 2006-04-13
Abstract: An apparatus for use in a cylinder machine having a shoe (28) with a concavely-shaped pressure surface that forms a substantially mating relationship with a cylinder mould (14) or sieve. The concavely-shaped pressure surface of the shoe increases the amount of wrap that a making fabric (16) has on a cylinder mould (14) or sieve thereby increasing the amount of friction generated between the making fabric (16) and the cylinder mould (14) or sieve. The increased friction results in an improved torque transfer between the making fabric and the cylinder mould or sieve.
Patent CA-2605592-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SIGG DANIEL C
IPC: C12N5/06
Filed: 2006-04-11
Abstract: A biologic intervention method and apparatus generates a persistent modification to an AV node that is physiologically stable after the agent has matured but is alterable with subsequent application of an agent.  Specifically, the generic agent is used to modulate a node in a cardiac conduction system including rate control using one and a combination of a family of K+ channel or equivalent. Specifically, the channel is implemented to slow conduction by generating an outward current during optimization of action potential and repolarization phase thus decreasing the current that is available to excite downstream cells. A Kv 1.3 channel, for example, may be used as the biologic channel. The invention enables reversal of the modulation or adjustment for various heart rates (BPM) based on medical and patient-specific needs.
