Patent CA-2271444-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YU TSUNG-MOU
IPC: H01H23/00
Filed: 1999-05-10
Abstract: A small-sized simple switch for circuit protection of the present invention is simple in structure and easy to operate, and can be readily switched for safety protection of circuits. The present invention is configured to have a hollow alloy plate which is highly resilient. When in overload, the alloy plate expands and becomes deformed due to the different thermal expansion coefficient and is deformed upward to become disengaged from a wire connecting pad with which it is originally in contact, causing the switch to be switched from the "ON" condition to the "OFF" condition. The alloy plate pushes a lever pivoted to the moving end of the alloy plate to move up such that the lever pushes one end of a pivoted reset button to move up. A user only has to depress the reset button and the switch will be again in the "ON" condition such that repeated ON/OFF conditions of the protection circuit can be effected. If there is no overload on the circuit, the switch of the present invention will be operated to be in "ON" or "OFF" condition as ordinary switches.

Inventor: NAKISA RAMIN C
IPC: G06F17/17
Filed: 1999-09-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for predicting the value at a future time of a variable associated with an input data sequence. Such a data sequence may be a sequence of data representing the financial transactions and personal data of a customer of a business such as a bank or a retail establishment and the variable may be the profitability of the customer to the business. The invention includes a database for registering a plurality of reference data sequences, for example the data sequences of an established set of bank customers. Values of the input data sequence are matched to values of the reference data sequences according to a dynamic time warping algorithm to determine the distances between the input sequence and the reference sequences. A regression function is applied to derive a weighting for each reference sequence according to its distance from the input sequence. A partial prediction of the future value associated with the input sequence is made from each reference sequence. The future value is then predicted as the sum of the partial predictions weighted by the weightings.
Patent CA-2282340-A1 (CA)
Inventor: O'NEILL DAVID ROYD
IPC: B23K9/12
Filed: 1998-02-19
Abstract: The invention comprises a method of arc welding and apparatus associated with the method. Preferred embodiments deliver welding wire from an associated autofeed source along a substantially straight path and into the weld zone.  The resistance of the wire to further travel within the weld zone results in the torch assembly being propelled along the workpiece at a constant speed proportional to the rate of wire feed. This allows high quality welds substantially free of waves or ridges to be consistently made and at high speeds - 1000 mm per minute - being achieved in trials. The invention also addresses some problems associated with the welding of difficult materials, or when heavier gauge welding wires are used.

Title: Iron-based catalyst composition and process for producing syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene
Inventor: LUO STEVEN
IPC: C08F136/06
Filed: 1999-10-13
Abstract: A catalyst composition comprising (a) an iron-containing compound, (b) an organomagnesium compound and (c) a dihydrocarbyl hydrogen phosphite is disclosed for polymerizing 1,3-butadiene into syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene. The use of the catalyst composition of this disclosure avoids the use of environmentally detrimental components such as carbon disulfide and halogenated solvents. The melting temperature of the syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene can be varied from about 100 to about 190 °C by variations in the catalyst components and the component ratios. The ability to vary the melting temperature with a single catalyst composition is very desirable. The syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene can be used as a plastic or as an additive for rubber compositions wherein it can crosslink with conventional rubbers using conventional crosslinking agents.
