Title: Boat mooring device
Inventor: WEBB JOHN T
IPC: B63B21/00
Filed: 2000-08-11
Abstract: This invention relates to a shock absorbing docking spacer to space a tethered boat from dockside. It comprises an elongated body having two cylindrical sections moveable longitudinally of each other to define spacer length with one of said cylindrical sections being connectable to a boat and the other of said cylindrical sections being connectable to a dock. A resilient cord is connected at one of its ends to one of said cylindrical sections and at the other of its ends to the other of said cylindrical sections to be tensioned as the cylindrical sections move longitudinally of each other due to shock forces in use to reduce spacer length. The cord has a resilience as aforesaid to absorb shock forces on the boat that reduce the spacer length in use, and to reassert itself and restore spacer length when shock forces are removed.

Title: Method for monitoring objects or an object area
Inventor: ULLRICH ANDREAS
IPC: G01S17/86
Filed: 1999-03-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recording a picture of at least one object or object space. The invention provides for an optoelectronic rangefinder (1) comprising a transmission device (2) for emitting optical signals, especially laser signals, and a receiving device (3) for receiving optical signals, especially a laser beam which is reflected by objects located in the target area. Optical systems are mounted upstream of both the transmission (2) and receiving device (3). The invention also provides for a scan device (5, 9) for deflecting the optical axes of the transmission (2) and receiving (3) devices in two different, preferably orthogonal, directions. The optical axes of the transmission (2) and receiving (3) devices are substantially parallel. An evaluation unit (12) determines distance values from the transit time or phase relationship of the transmitted optical signal.  In addition an image display system, such as a monitor (18) or such like, is provided for on which image points or measurement points are reproduced whose coordinates correspond to the beam deflection of the scan device. A distance value is assigned to each image point or measurement point and a corresponding set of measurement data is supplied by a computer (12). The sets of measurement data obtained in this way are each assigned to a reference in the computer (12), whereby the signal can be displayed on the image display system (18) for read-out.

Title: Energy-saving heavy crude oil emulsion-treating apparatus
Inventor: BERRY J PATRICK
IPC: C10G33/02
Filed: 2000-12-20
Abstract: A treater for electrostatically separating emulsified water from oil during longitudinal flow through a horizontally elongated coalescing section has a number of baffles with adjacent electrostatic wing grids therein. The electrostatic wing grids are externally connected to two or more transformers so that a higher voltage may be applied to subsequent grids along the coalescing section. Each of the electrostatic wing grids includes a front face and perpendicular side edges and a perpendicular bottom edge to extend the electrostatic field out beyond the front face, so as to enhance the electrostatic action and more efficiently remove water from the emulsion. The baffles preferably extend downwardly to a water/oil interface, so as to increase the efficiency of the emulsion flowing through the coalescing section and ensure that the electrostatic field is applied to the emulsion:

Patent CA-2334737-A1 (CA)
Title: Collaborative object architecture
Inventor: CURTIS PAVEL
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 1999-06-11
Abstract: A collaborative object architecture, using applets (210, 220) and pods (250, 260), with one or more of the following technologies: 1) lightweight asychronous messaging; 2) collaborative objects; 3) optimistic concurrency control; and 4) transparent object serialization. Lightweight asynchronous messaging allows highly responsive interactivity and natural interactions with minimal network loads. Collaborative objects allow ubiquitous sharing and provide each user with the same copy of the shared object. Optimistic concurrency control allows full-duplex group editing and natural interactions.  Transparent object serialization provides real world persistence and support for asynchronous changes. Thus, combination of these technologies within a network (200) provides a collaborative object architecture with several advantages.

Patent CA-2337266-A1 (CA)
Title: Actuator with approach pre-stroke and working stroke for operating a tool
Inventor: BOYER JEAN NOEL
IPC: C04B28/18
Filed: 1999-07-06
Abstract: The invention concerns an actuator (21) comprising a pre-stroke rod (29) which can be fixed to the tool body, for example soldering pliers. Thus by pressurising the pre-stroke chamber (27) the working rod (34) for closing the pliers can be brought into an intermediate small opening position, the working piston (31) and the amplifying pistons (36 and 37) remaining retracted in the actuator. Since the rod (29) can then be locked relative to the actuator body (21), pressurisation of the working chamber (32) and the amplifying chambers (38 and 40) will then cause the working rod to be extracted (34) and the soldering pliers to be closed without any recoil from the actuator body.

Title: Smoke-modifying agents and smoking material rods comprising smoke-modifying agents
Inventor: OLIVER RICHARD
IPC: A24D1/00
Filed: 1999-08-06
Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a homogeneous fibriform element comprising a smoke-modifying agent. In the process a mixture comprising a solution of a polysaccharide (an alginate for example) and a smoke-modifying agent (menthol for example) is fed through nozzle means, and a jet of said mixture issuing from the nozzle means is brought into contact with a solution containing multivalent cations (such as calcium ions). Solidification of the mixture is thus effected. In a second aspect of the invention, a fibriform element is manufactured by passing a thread through a mixture comprising a solution of a polysaccharide and a smoke-modifying agent whereby the thread is coated with the mixture. The coated thread is brought into contact with a solution containing multivalent cations thus to effect solidification of the mixture on the thread. A fibriform element as manufactured by the inventive process and a smoking article comprising such a fibriform element are also claimed.

Patent CA-2344579-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DALLAS ANDREW J
IPC: G01N1/02
Filed: 1999-10-26
Abstract: An indicator system (18) provides a visual indication of the cumulative leve l of an airborne contaminant. The indicator is a transparent sheath (20) with support medium having an acidic surface and treated with a color pH indicato r (20). As a basic contaminant is adsorbed by the medium, the medium color changes. As additional contaminant is adsorbed, the color front progresses t he length of the indicator. The indicator system may be used with an adsorptive  filter system to predict the life of adsorption bed assemblies. A sample flo w is taken upstream of the adsorption beds and is passed through the indicator . Preferably, the flow rate is calibrated so that the rate of the color change  in the indicator is proportional to the rate of depletion of the adsorption bed. By monitoring the indicator, an accurate prediction of adsorption bed life may be made.
