Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provided a fiber reinforced plastics (hereafter referred to as " FRP ") bar. The aim of the present invention is to improve the known FRP  bar. The said bar comprises a FRP core and a base resin in which the FRP bar is impregnated, and the peripheral surface of the core is coated axially with a cladding of bulked glass yarn reinforced plastics. Since the peripheral surface of core is coated axially with the cladding of bulked glass yarn reinforced plastics, the fiber reinforced plastics bar obtained in this invention has an effective roughness in the external surface of the core of the fiber reinforced plastics bar, which can improve the bond stress to concrete and therefore increase the lifetime of the reinforced concrete structures. The fiber reinforced plastics bar can be used to reinforce the concrete instead of steel rebar, and can be used widely in the buildings under the worse environment, such as marine structures, parking area and bridges where the antifreeze is used, and the like.
Patent CA-2597977-A1 (CA)
Title: Weatherstrip with ventilation openings
Inventor: ZELAZO PAAVO
IPC: B60J10/08
Filed: 2005-12-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a weatherstrip, which is to be placed onto the flange of the edge of the opening of a vehicle and which is made of a side-by-side arrangement of a tubular sealing section (1), of a U-shaped fastening section (2) and of a strip (3), which is shaped onto the side of the fastening section (2) and which, together with a limb (2') of the fastening section (2), circumscribes a cavity (9 ) open toward the underside (1') of the weatherstrip. The cross-sectional profile of the sealing section (1) is partially formed by the limb (2''') of the fastening section (2) facing the former. Ventilation holes (18) are located on the underside of the weatherstrip, which faces said edge and which forms an area of the greatest wall thickness of the sealing section (1). This arrangement of the ventilation opening is advantageous in that this results in almost no negative influence upon the flexural rigidity of the cross-sectional profile so that the weatherstrip can also be placed along small radii of curvature without the risk of the profile collapsing. To this end, the ventilation openings are located on an underside facing the edge without having any negative influence upon the visual appearance.

Title: Positioning and conveying well apparatus and method
Inventor: BROCKMAN MARK W
IPC: E21B47/09
Filed: 2000-10-16
Abstract: In a broad aspect, the invention may include a nipple (10), a deflector (42), and a conveying tool (116). The nipple may include an upper sealing surface (26) and a lower sealing surface (28). The nipple may also include a discriminator/muleshoe (30) having an alignment profile (32) and an alignment slot (34). A protuberance/bump (40) may be disposed in the alignment slot. The deflector (42) may include an upper seal (52) and a lower seal (54) adapted for engagement with upper and lower sealing surfaces (26, 28), respectively, on the nipple. When the upper and lower seals are engaged with the upper and lower sealing surfaces, fluid circulation is substantially restricted thereby resulting in an increase in pressure that is detectable at the earth's surface. The pressure increase provides a signal that the deflector is properly positioned in the nipple. The conveying tool may include a flexible arm (122) having a latching finger (124) that is releasably engageable with a latching profile (51) in the deflector. The latching profile may be on an inclined, concave surface of a whipstock (44). Related methods are also provided.

Title: Alternative uplock release assembly
Inventor: GAGNON MARC-OLIVIER
IPC: B64C25/26
Filed: 2006-02-03
Abstract: A new alternative uplock release assembly is provided. The assembly comprises a pivot pin having a first end and a second end and an internal bore, a release system operatively connected to the first end of the pivot pin, said release system comprising a cylinder and a piston, said piston having a piston head and an elongated member passing longitudinally through said bore, said cylinder having a pressure port through which a pressure source can be fed.  The assembly further comprises a hooking member, a torque member rotatably mounted at the second end of the pivot pin, a biasing system operatively connected to the torque member, said biasing system having a bias cylinder and a biasing means located within the bias cylinder. When biasing force is applied to the torque member, an interlocking means to enable the rotatable interconnection between the torque member and the hooking member in a locked and first position, and an engaging means to interconnect the torque member with a link member. When torque is applied to the link member, the torque is transferred, via the engaging means and interlocking means, to the hooking member forcing the hooking member to rotate around the pivot pin. During alternative operation, pressure is fed through the pressure port, the piston counteracts the biasing force, thereby translating the torque member longitudinally over the pivot pin sufficiently to decouple the torque member and the hooking member from the said locked and first position, to an unlocked and second position enabling the hooking member to rotate around the pivot pin.
