Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une pièce de coin de hauteur réglable (10) pour conteneurs d'expédition, qui est constituée par un bloc de forme rectangulaire essentiellement creux (12) comportant une paroi inférieure (22), des parois terminales (20) et des parois latérales (18). Une ouverture allongée (26) est ménagée dans la paroi inférieure (22) et est destinée à coopérer avec un mécanisme de blocage servant à bloquer le conteneur d'expédition sur la plate-forme d'un véhicule. Est également prévue une plaque de forme essentiellement rectangulaire (14) qui est complémentaire de la paroi inférieure (22) et qui est destinée à être fixée temporairement à cette paroi, pour augmenter la hauteur du bloc. Dans cette plaque (14) est également ménagée une ouverture allongée (44) qui est complémentaire de l'ouverture (26) ménagée dans la paroi inférieure (22). Lorsque la plaque (14) est fixée, les ouvertures (44,26) de la plaque (14) et de la paroi inférieure (22) sont alignées. Toutefois, la plaque (14) amène la pièce de coin (10) à se prolonger vers le bas sur un demi-pouce environ sous le conteneur pour une expédition par camion, bateau ou wagon de chemin de fer. Lorsque la plaque (14) est retirée, le plancher de la pièce de coin (10) est essentiellement à fleur avec le plancher du conteneur, ce qui permet de transporter le conteneur par avion cargo.

Abstract: A synchronous motor system in which recovery due to a failed field excitation supply is achieved automatically without resort to, or by minimizing the length of time in asynchronous operation of the motor. A sensing system is deployed to provide a sensed signal that is caused by a failed field excitation supply to vary from a reference value by a predetermined amount. A control unit responds to detected failure by automatically changing a field winding system of the motor over from the failed field excitation supply to a standby field excitation supply. The standby supply can be shared by several synchronous motors.

Title: Apparatus and process for the underwater pelletization of polymers
Inventor: JACKSON RICHARD ALAN
IPC: B29C48/05
Filed: 2004-07-28
Granted: 2012-04-17
Abstract: Underwater melt pelletizer dies which have a highly thermally conductive pathway from their heating source to the vicinity of the polymer exit end of their die holes and have a thermally insulating material at that end of their die holes have improved operability and can pelletize thermoplastics which are otherwise difficult or impossible to pelletize with such an apparatus. The main construction members of such a die are a relatively high strength but relatively low thermal conductivity plate (21), a second plate having a relatively low strength but relatively high thermal conductivity (22), a coller (23) (which is usually of relatively high strength but need not have a high thermal conductivity) to help hold the assembly together, and relatively strong mounting hole liners (24). These parts of the die may be joined by "temporary" mechanical means such as bolts (not shown), but are preferably permanently joined together by welding and/or brazing, shown by regions (25) and (26). For example, (21) and (23) may be steel or stainless steel, and may be joined by welding. Then (22), which may be copper or a copper or aluminium alloy, may be brazed to both (21) and (23).

Title: System and method of modifying policy settings in an electronic device
Inventor: PEARCE GRAHAM
IPC: H04W12/08
Filed: 2006-01-19
Granted: 2012-03-13
Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method of modifying policy settings in an electronic device. An embodiment includes a plurality of access stations, each capable of wirelessly transmitting across a geographic region. A mobile electronic device, capable of roaming between regions is operable to establish a wireless link with the access stations. The device is owned by an office which sets communication policies determining through which access stations mobile device can place voice calls. This policy is stored on an office server as a database and periodically transmitted to the device as the device makes contact with the office server over the internet. Hence, the device maintains a copy of this policy database. When placing a voice call, the device first determines which access station is serving the region it is located in and then determines whether it is allowed to place a call through that access station using its policy database.

Abstract: A method of making a wall block and a mold box therefore. The wall block design maximizes the use of the mold box. The method produces wall blocks having a large surface area front face compared to the front face size of prior art blocks. The blocks have about one third more front surface area.  This results in faster construction of walls and a faster construction sequence. The method of making the blocks makes efficient use of mold space and material, resulting in higher production yields and/or higher total daily production square footage. (FIG. 2)

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for the biosequestration and organic assimilation of a gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect. In these methods, a gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect is introduced into a peat bog where it is thereafter sequestered and organically assimilated. A capture method may be employed in conjunction with the present invention to enable transport of the gas from an industrial site to a processing facility located at or near a peat bog. Once transported to a relevant processing facility, the captured gas may be regenerated and thereafter introduced into the peat bog for its biosequestration and organic assimilation. In the context of the present invention, the gas may be a greenhouse gas (GHG), sulfur oxide (SOx) gas, and/or volatile organic compound (VOC).

Title: Quality-of-service assurance for ip telephony

Abstract: A method that seeks to provide a satisfactory quality of service for a stream of packets through a network. The illustrative embodiment of the present invention seeks to provide a satisfactory quality of service for a stream of packets by periodically or sporadically evaluating one or more alternative paths through the network and by sending the packets through a path with an acceptable quality of service. Normally, neither the source node nor any other node in a packet's path controls its route after it has left the node. In contrast, the illustrative embodiment of the present invention has the capability to affect the packet's path through the network by sending the packet to an intermediate or "ricochet" node in the network, which forwards the packet to the destination node. In effect, the source node can, if it deems appropriate, ricochet the packet off of the intermediate node rather than allowing the packet to take its normal direct path through the network.
