Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions mousseuses stables pour le calfeutrage, l'étanchéité et l'isolation. Ces compositions contiennent des tensioactifs lipophiles, non ioniques, cireux, à l'état solide, qui ont un faible rapport hydrophile-lipophile. Lorsque la composition est distribuée sous forme de mousse, lesdits tensioactifs fournissent un support stable à des bulles formées par séchage d'une émulsion de latex d'un polymère filmogène et d'un propulseur hydrocarbure liquide volatil. Lesdites compositions peuvent être non seulement appliquées à des procédés de calfeutrage, d'étanchéité ou d'isolation, mais également utilisées pour créer des terrains artificiels ou d'autres surfaces structurelles durcissables pouvant constituer un support pour des activités artisanales ou de loisir ou des activités similaires.
Patent CA-2267633-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BELIVEAU JEAN-LOUIS
IPC: E04B2/86
Filed: 1999-04-15
Abstract: A connector for tying together opposed foam panels in spaced and parallel relationship to make a form for receiving flowable materiel is disclosed. The connector comprises a pair of anchor members, one being devised to be embedded in one of the foam panels and the other being devised to be embedded in the other one of the foam panels. Each of these anchor members has a projecting end devised to come out of the foam panel once the anchor member is embedded therein. The connector further comprises a web member extending between the foam panels. The web member has opposite longitudinal side ends, each of the side ends being hingedly connectable to the projecting end of either one of the anchor members. Thanks to such a connector, the tied foam panels of the form wall assembly are movable between an extended position where the foam panels are spaced-apart to make the form and a collapsed position where the foam panels are brought close to each other for transportation purposes. Advantageously, a wall form made using such connectors can be pre-assembled at the factory and is as easy to ship to the site of construction as disassembled wall forms.

Title: Turbine plant
Inventor: SUGISHITA HIDEAKI
IPC: F01K23/10
Filed: 1999-03-31
Abstract: Provided is turbine plant using methanol as fuel by which gross thermal efficiency of combined cycle power plant using combustion gas generated by combustion of H2 and CO2 plus O2 as working fluid is enhanced.      Working fluid is compressed by compressor 1 and led into combustor 2. Mixture of H2 and CO2 as fuel added with O2 is burned to generate high temperature gas, which works at high temperature turbine 3, flows through heat exchangers 4, 5 and returns partly to the compressor 1 and enters partly low pressure turbine 7 of bottoming system to work. Condensed water from condenser 9 of the bottoming system is pressurized by pressure pump 10 and flows through the heat exchangers 4, to become high temperature steam and to work at high pressure turbine 6. Exhaust gas thereof is mixed into the combustor 2. Mixture of methanol and water is supplied into reformer 13 to absorb heat from the heat exchanger 4 to be reformed into H2 and CO2, which is supplied into the combustor 2. Thereby, gross thermal efficiency is enhanced.      High temperature portion of the high temperature turbine 3 is cooled by cooling medium extracted from compressor 1 outlet anti high pressure turbine 6 outlet, thereby reliability of the high temperature turbine 3 is enhanced.

Abstract: A steering system (10) for a vehicle includes inner and outer valve members (40 and 42) which are rotatable relative to each other to port fluid to a vehicle power steering motor (31). A torsion bar spring (102) is connected with the inner and outer valve members (40 and 42) to resist relative rotation between the valve members during operation of the steering system (10). A torsion tube spring (202) has a first end portion (206) connected with an outer valve member (42) and a second end portion (210). The second end portion (210) of the torsion tube spring (202) is connected with a clutch (212). The clutch (212) is operable from a disengaged condition to an engaged condition to connect the second end portion (210) of the torsion tube spring (202) with the inner valve member (40). Connecting the second end portion (210) of the torsion tube spring (202) with the inner valve member (40) increases resistance to relative rotation between the inner and outer valve members (40 and 42).

IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 1998-09-25
Abstract: A wireless communication device automatically and seamlessly switches to an alternate, available system when it is unable to complete a call origination attempt, without requiring the user to take any affirmative actions to select the alternate system, the wireless communication device stores a list of preferred communication systems. The mobile station attempts to acquire (302) one of these preferred communication systems upon failure of the reverse link (300). If that is not successful (304), the mobile station attempts to acquire (306) a communication system most likely to provide service. If that is also not sucessful (308), the mobile station re-attempts acquisition of the current communication system. The mobile station also re-attempts (310) acquisition with one of the preferred communication systems after a predetermined idle time.
