Title: Sawing direction positioning system for a woodworking bandsaw
Inventor: ZHANG ROSS
IPC: B23Q17/24
Filed: 2004-06-10
Abstract: The present invention relates to a sawing direction positioning system for a woodworking bandsaw comprising a light-emitting unit for emitting a planar light beam, said light-emitting unit being connected with a power supply via a lead and positioned above said woodworking bandsaw so that said planar light beam emitted from the light-emitting unit coincides exactly with the plane of a saw blade mounted on said woodworking bandsaw.

Title: A method for fast, secure 802.11 re-association without additional authentication, accounting, and authorization infrastructure
Inventor: GRISWOLD VICTOR J
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2003-11-13
Abstract: A method wherein an access point authenticates itself with neighboring acces s points and establishes secure and mutually authenticated communication channels with its neighboring access points. When an access point learns of a neighboring access point, it initiates an authentication with an authentication server through the neighboring access point. Once access poin ts have mutually authenticated each other, whenever a station authenticates itself with a first access point, the first access point communicates the station's authentication context information, for example session key and session identifier, to each neighboring access point. Thus, when the station roams to a neighboring access point, the neighboring access point presents t he station with a reauthentication protocol, for example LEAP reauthentication, and if the reauthentication is successful, communication between the station and the neighboring access point takes place immediately and no new EAP authentication needs to occur.

Patent CA-2505564-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VISSER JACOBUS HENDRIK
IPC: E21B7/08
Filed: 2005-04-04
Abstract: The following is a proposal for a new steerable drill design for the oil and gas industry. The design relies on variations in the rotational speed of the drill pipe (also called the drill string) controlled from the surface to steer the drill bit in the desired direction. The steering is accomplished by a hydraulic-mechanical system consisting of a hydraulic pump, a speed sensing device, coupled to a selector valve, which controls the angle of deflection of the bit and the direction of the deflection through 360 degrees. The device will also be able to drill in a straight line by eliminating the offset of the bit to zero degrees as the rotational speed of the drill string is increased beyond the directional drilling speed range. Rotation of the internal mechanism of the device, along with the rotation of the drill string will be prevented by an anti rotational device, consisting of a gravity sensing valve, hydraulic motor and wellbore tracking wheels. The device is fully hydro-mechanical in nature and does not incorporate mud motors or electronics of any kind and is capable being used with standard oil field drilling rigs, drill pipe and drill bits.
