Inventor: HARDING WILLIAM D
IPC: A47F5/00
Filed: 1999-03-09
Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a product display rack having either a single shelf or a plurality of shelves. Each shelf is attached to an essentially U-shaped frame by sliding a downwardly projecting tongue into a slot in the rear wall. A counterstop device at the front edge of each shelf contacts the side walls of the frame. The shelves are usually of a length such that the point of contact of the front edge of the shelf with the frame is usually lower than the point of contact of the rear edge. In this manner, products are gravity fed to the front of the shelves.

Title: Procede et dispositif de verification non destructive de l'etancheite de recipients remplis de liquide
Inventor: POSS GERHARD
IPC: G01M3/40
Filed: 1997-11-26
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant d'effectuer une vérification non destructive de l'étanchéité de récipients remplis de liquide. Les récipients (17) à vérifier sont placés dans un contenant (2) dans lequel le vide a été fait et qui est relié à une cuve (1, 1a à 1d) dans laquelle une décharge gazeuse peut être effectuée. Lorsque les substances volatiles contenues dans le récipient sortent par une fuite dans un récipient, la luminance de la décharge gazeuse est considérablement réduite par rapport à la luminance existante dans la situation initiale, lorsqu'il ne subsiste dans le vide que les molécules gazeuses résiduelles de l'air. Cette modification de la luminance détectée par des détecteurs (9) photosensibles est proportionnelle à la concentration des substances volatiles, de manière que sur la base d'une courbe d'étalonnage, il soit possible au moyen d'un circuit d'évaluation (10), de fournir directement des informations sur la concentration de chacune des substances.

Abstract: A multilayer film has a first layer and a second layer. The first layer comprises an additive, a binder, and a cross-linking agent.  The additive is a flavor, fragrance, colorant, antimicrobial agent, antioxidant, chelating agent, and/or odor absorbent. The binder is a polysacchariede and/or a protein. The cross-linking agent comprises a compound with at least two carbonyl groups. The second layer comprises a non-water-soluble thermoplastic polymer comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of polyolefin, polyamide, polyester, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl chloride, and polystyrene. Each of the additive, binder, and cross-linking agent are present throughout a thickness of the first layer. Preferably, the first layer is coated onto the second layer, which is preferably a non-water-soluble thermoplastic polymer, e.g., polyolefin, polyamide, and/or polyester. The film is especially useful for cook-in applications, in which a food product (preferably comprising uncooked meat) is packaged in the film with the coated layer against the meat. The meat is then cooked and the additive transfers to the meat, and purge can be very low. The invention also pertains to a process for preparing a cooked food product, process for making a coated film, and articles formed from the film, such as bags and casings.

Title: Dendrimeric polymers for the production of paper and board
Inventor: ALLEN LAWRENCE HARVEY
IPC: D21H17/56
Filed: 1998-05-22
Abstract: A papermaking stock and a method for improving the retention of pulp fines, mineral fillers, dispersed wood resin, and/or synthetic hydrophobic stickies and cellulose fibers in a cellulosic fiber sheet, employs dendrimeric polymers for increasing the retention of fines, fillers, dispersed hydrophobic particles, and cellulosic fibers. The application in the paper industry provides a means of (1) increasing the retention of fillers in paper and decreasing the loss of filler materials in white water waste from papermaking;  (2) increasing the retention of cellulosic fines and fibers in the paper-making process; increasing drainage on the paper machine; and (3) removing a significant fraction of the wood resin, plastics, and stickies from the process stream thus enabling a greater extent of reuse of filtrates and, hence, less effluents from mills, fewer problems from wood resins such as deposit formation, loss of strength of product, and contamination of product with dirt particles.
Patent CA-2293083-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BROWN JOHN D
IPC: B08B11/02
Filed: 1999-12-23
Abstract: Apparatus for retaining a plastic bag in an opened condition to facilitate cleaning in an automatic dish washer for bag re-use. The apparatus includes an open, segmented framework defining a form structure over which a soiled bag is positioned. First and second parallel frame sidewalls are laterally spaced apart and interconnected such that the form structure corresponds generally in size and shape to the interior of a plastic bag to be positioned thereover so that the form will maintain the bag in an open state. The framework includes a first or upper end and a second or lower end. The upper end is inserted into the open mouth of a soiled plastic bag. The upper end of the framework converges or tapers slightly to facilitate ease of insertion into the open mouth of a soiled plastic bag. The form is inserted into the bag until the mouth of the bag is seated around the second end of the framework. A plurality of bag retaining clips are located at the framework lower end to releasably receive and firmly retain peripheral portions of the bag at the mouth area during bag washing in a dish washer. The framework may optionally be constructed in a manner that allows for selective collapsing for storage purposes and expansion for washing use.

Patent CA-2297891-A1 (CA)
Title: Signal processing system
Inventor: CLARKE IRA JAMES
IPC: H03H21/00
Filed: 1998-08-27
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for distinguishing systematic artefacts from noise involves localising functional noise in the vicinity of predicted functional peaks. The method is particularly relevant to detection and tracking of timevarying signals. An apparatus implementing such an application of the method comprises a detection system (50) which monitors each component of a multicomponent periodic signal via its basis repeat unit: a cyclet, of periodicity . The signal is digitised and clocked through the system (50) in segments. A cyclet remover (62) subtracts predicted values of previously detected cyclets from the incoming signal segment to produce a residual signal. A cyclet detector (60) uses a sliding window procedure to detect further cyclets in this residual and to measure their amplitude profiles (<o>b</o>() and periodicities (). A cyclet tracker (64) uses this residual to correct errors in the predicted cyclet values (<o>b</o>(), ) and to predict (track) cyclet values appropriate to the next incoming signal segment. A track remover (66) monitors cyclets variations and removes sub-threshold cyclets from the tracking process.

Title: Plastic sewage pipe
Inventor: PRESBY DAVID
IPC: F16L11/118
Filed: 2000-03-14
Abstract: This invention relates to systems for leaching liquid waste, particularly waste water. More particularly this invention is a specially designed cylindrical conduit or pipe for use in leaching systems. The pipe further has axially directed cuts or apertures in conduit/pipe valleys has specially configured ridges, channels and grooves over which may be layed either single or multiple layers of fabric. The corrugated pipe may have slots or slits or V- grooves in and on the various portions of the pipe such as the outer-facing surface of the ridges, the end portion of the ridges, the side wall of the groove or through the bottom portion of the groove, i.e., the valleys. The cylindrical conduit disperses moisture away from the conduit through capillary action, wicking into a surrounding material. A perforated cylindrical conduit is one method permitting wicking. The surrounding material provides capillary action to transmit moisture away from the cylinder or conduit. These surrounding materials include sand, gravel, plastic fibers, wood products, slag, and ash. A fabric or other material may surround the cylindrical conduit. For septic systems, this includes any gravel-less systems such as the SB2, Enviro- Septic and Geo-Flow systems. Other applications of this invention include treatment of oil-contaminated water and chemically contaminated water, in addtion to septic tank effluent.
