Patent CA-2327004-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SIRAGUSA GEORGE
IPC: F16C11/04
Filed: 2000-11-29
Abstract: The rod end clip includes a detent head with an aperture therethrough. The aperture provides a pivot point with respect to a rod end onto which the rod end clip is being installed. The detent head subsequently provides a pivot point for the rod with respect to an aperture in a panel into which the detent head is inserted. The rod end clip further includes an arm assembly with a semi-circular seat and a flexible finger. As the rod is pivoted into the arm assembly to be engaged by the semi-circular seat, the flexible finger is urged from an unflexed position to a flexed position. The flexible finger thereafter generates an audible clicking sound as the rod passes from contact with the flexible finger and into the semi-circular seat.

Title: Apparatus and method for measuring the viscosity of plastic material
Inventor: COLLIN HEINRICH
IPC: G01N11/08
Filed: 1999-10-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a device to be used in a laboratory for measuring the viscosity of plastic materials, especially of molten polymers, according to the principle of determining the drop in pressure when the material is flowing through a capillary having a defined cross-section and a defined length. A  device of this type can particularly be used for carrying out continuous measurements during operation, especially in integrated quality control. To this end, a volumetrically controllable molten material pump (13) which is provided for producing a defined flow of molten material is incorporated in a device that can be heated. In order to measure a large range of flow rates, n capillaries (37-39) of different dimensions are incorporated in the device in a fixed manner, whereby n = 2, 3, 4,... The flow of molten material from the pump (13) to each capillary is carried out by a mobile molten material distributor (30) so that two or more capillaries can be charged in succession with molten material by varying the position of the distributor (30), and a pressure measuring sensor (18) and temperature measuring sensor (19) which are matched to the pressure range are connected upstream from each capillary.

Title: Hydro-lifter rock bit with pdc inserts
Inventor: NGUYEN QUAN VAN
IPC: E21B10/16
Filed: 2001-06-05
Abstract: A novel rolling cone rock bit includes a plurality of PDC or other cutters mounted to the leg of the drill bit and positioned to cut the troublesome corner of the bottomhole. The plurality of cutters may be the primary cutting component at gage diameter, or may be redundant to gage teeth on a rolling cutter that cut to gage diameter. Consequently, the occurrence of undergage drilling from the wear and failure of the gage row on a rolling cutter is lessened. Another inventive feature is the inclusion of a mud ramp that creates a large junk slot from the borehole bottom up the drill bit. The resulting pumping action of the drill bit ramp speeds up the removal of chips or drilling cuttings from the bottom of the borehole, reduces the level of hydrostatic pressure at the bottom of the borehole and minimizes the wearing effect of cone inserts regrinding damaging drill cuttings.

Title: Process for fabricating optical fiber involving overcladding during sintering
Inventor: MONBERG ERIC M
IPC: C03B37/016
Filed: 2001-06-12
Abstract: An improved technique for assembling and drawing fiber from preforms is provided. In one embodiment, the technique involves providing a core rod assembly comprising a core rod and a bushing attached at an end of the assembly. The core rod assembly is inserted into an unsintered overcladding tube, and secured to the tube such that the core rod assembly is suspended within. The overcladding tube and the core rod assembly are heated to sinter the overcladding tube and thereby form a preform assembly. During the heating step, the bushing comes into contact with the interior of the overcladding tube, and, because the bushing has a larger diameter than the core rod, an annular gap is maintained between the core rod assembly and the interior of the overcladding tube. It is then possible to attach a draw handle to the preform assembly, place the preform assembly into a draw tower, and draw fiber from the preform assembly by an overclad during draw technique.

Title: Method of sorting a plastic mixture out of a waste mixture and a waste sorting installation
Inventor: DELL THOMAS
IPC: B07B13/11
Filed: 2001-07-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of sorting out a plastic mixture from a waste mixture, where the technical problem of sorting out a plastic mixture consisting essentially of plastic objects with a low interfering substance content is solved by a method in which a waste fraction consisting at least of plastic objects and beverage cartons is sorted out of a waste mixture, whereby beverage cartons are sorted out from the waste mixture and whereby the plastic mixture is separated as the heavy traction from the waste fraction reduced of the beverage cartons by means of a ballistic separator.    The technical problem is also solved by the fact that in addition to or separately from the beverage cartons. objects containing metal are separated from the waste fraction before the waste fraction is sent to the ballistic separator.

Abstract: A process and system (10, 10A, 10B, 10C) for making dehydrated potato products (60, 108) with reduced water usage, and reduced waste water production, are provided. In a first process embodiment potato flakes (60) are fabricated by washing, peeling and slicing raw potatoes (12) to form potato pieces (18). The potato pieces (18) are then precooked using steam or microwave energy, and vacuum cooled in a process chamber (26).  The vacuum cooled potato pieces (18PC) are then cooked using steam or microwave energy, and riced to form a potato mash (44). Following ricing, effluents (EF) from the precooking step can be added back to the mash (44) as a flavor enhancer. In addition, the potato mash (44) is dried using a drying apparatus such as a drum drier (48), to form potato sheets (46). The potato sheets (46) are then comminuted to form potato flakes (60) having a moisture content of about 6 % to 8 %. In a second process embodiment potato granules (108) are fabricated by precooking washed, peeled and sliced potato pieces (18) using steam or microwave, cooling the precooked potato slices (18PC), and then cooking the cooled potato slices (18PC) using steam or microwave energy. The cooked potato slices (18C) are then conditioned, screened, mixed, partially dried, and finish dried to a moisture content of about 6 % to 8%.

Title: Hybrid wireless telephone and wireless telephone station
Inventor: LIM CAM S FOOK CHAIN
IPC: H04M1/725
Filed: 2001-12-28
Abstract: The landline phone and wireless phone are two common telecommunication devices that have become indispensable in our daily life. Each device has its "good points". Users often have to decide which service to use. Many users ended up using and paying for both services. In this invention, a hybrid wireless telephone and its accompanying base station bring about the "marriage" of the household landline service devices to the wireless service. By piggybacking the household devices such as the plain old telephone to the hybrid wireless telephone that acts as the trans-receiver, the consumer would feel like having the use of the landline service without having to pay for it. When detached from the base station, the hybrid wireless telephone is just another cell phone. The bottom line is that the consumer can seemingly enjoy both the landline and wireless services and pay for just the wireless service.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polymeric medical articles comprising combinations of triclosan and silver-containing compounds. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that these agents act synergistically, there by permitting the use of relatively low levels of both agents. While it had bee n previously found that triclosan can be particularly useful when used in conjunction with chlorhexidine, it has been further discovered that medical articles having suitable antimicrobial properties may be prepared, according  to the present invention, which contain triclosan without chlorhexidine. Suc h medical articles offer the advantage of preventing or inhibiting infection while avoiding undesirable adverse reactions to chlorhexidine by individuals  that may have sensitivity to chlorhexidine.
