Inventor: WEBER HANS B
IPC: B61F5/04
Filed: 2002-03-19
Abstract: A railway car truck having a pair of side frames and a bolster and a transom extending transversely between the side frames. A respective rocker seat is rigidly and permanently attached to each end of the transom and is pivotally supported on a rocker bar that is supported by the tension member of a sideframe. The pivotal connection between the rocker seat and the rocker bar disposes the transom perpendicular to the side frame and provides pivotal movement of the side frame with respect to the transom. The railway car truck is assembled by inserting the ends of the bolster and transom into the window of a side frame, and then inserting the rocker bar through a passageway in the side frame to a position under the rocker seat and on the bottom tension member of the side frame. Springs are then inserted between the transom and the bolster such that the bolster is resiliently supported on the side frame.

Filed: 2000-07-07
Abstract: L'invention concerne un matériau cristallin microporeux, présentant un diffractogramme de rayons x caractéristique, se composant de tétraèdres d'oxygène et d'un métal (T?+4¿ et T?+3¿) avec possibilité d'introduire une acidité superficielle produite par le remplacement dans le réseau de certains cations T?+4¿ (normalement Si?+4¿) par des cations T?+3¿ (normalement Al?+3¿), ce qui entraîne une déficience de charge structurale qui peut être compensée par des protons, (acidité Brönsted) et/ou des cations à fort rapport charge-rayon (acidité Lewis). Ce procédé de préparation utilise la modification de la structure lamellaire d'un oxyde mixte (normalement SiO¿2?, Al¿2?O¿3?) synthétisé à partir d'un gel traité dans des conditions hydrothermiques régulées et permet de disposer, entre les feuilles, des molécules organiques possédant un groupe accepteur de protons et une vaste chaîne hydrocarbonée. Le matériau intercalé présente des feuilles nettement séparées en raison de la présence de chaînes organiques. Le matériau gonflé est ensuite traité pour séparer et disperser les feuilles. Le lavage final et la calcination ultérieure permettent d'obtenir un matériau microporeux avec une grande surface externe.

Patent CA-2385786-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LARSON AARON RAYMOND
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2000-09-18
Abstract: A time-partitioned system for accounting for processor time consumed by operating system services provided on behalf of an application running in a real-time environment. The time utilized by the operating system is treated as being application processing time, rather than viewing the resultant process or time consumed as an operating system overhead. Each application consists of one or more threads. A time budget is assigned to each thread and to each interrupt. The processor time consumed by the operating system when executin g on behalf of a thread or interrupt is charged back to the application or interrupt as part of the application's time budget. Operating system overhea ds and processor interrupts are thus accounted for accurately enough to determi ne a schedule for the applications which is enforceable by the operating system .

Abstract: A mechanical device hydraulically activated for pressing out metal containers used for waste collection. The normal application of these containers are for use with waste collection trucks, both front loading or side loading systems and can encompass all normal sizes used by collection trucks: 2,3,4,6 or 8 cubic yard and/or including in between sizes. The hydraulic device is known to have an interchangeable die with tapered sides which determines the size of the metal container. The die is attached to a hydraulic thrust ram which is attached to an A Frame with guides on either side allowing the thrust ram assembly to glide up or down when hydraulic pressure is applied. In this invention the dies have tuckers attached to Tucker wings which wrap and hold the plate steel along the sides of the die to allow the seams to be welded. Tucker wings are independent of the die but adjacent to the die ends. Each die dictates a corresponding Tucker Wing size.

Title: Method and installation for producing a metal melt
Inventor: ZIRNGAST JOHANN
IPC: C21B13/14
Filed: 2001-04-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a metal melt by reducing material containing metal oxide in a fluidized-bed reactor (1 to 3) using th e fluidized bed process, and then melting the reduced material in a melting gasifier (10). According to said method, a reduction gas that is used for reducing the material containing metal oxide in the fluidized-bed method is produced from a material containing carbon in the melting gasifier (10). Bot h the reduction and melting processes take place at atmospheric overpressure. The pressure in an intermediate vessel (31) located above the melting gasifi er (10) is adjusted to a lower pressure than that in the fluidized-bed reactor (3), so that the reduced material can easily be transferred from said fluidized-bed reactor (3) to the melting gasifier (10). The reduced material  is allowed to flow upwards from the fluidized-bed reactor into the intermediate vessel (31) with the drop in pressure and is guided from the intermediate vessel (31) into the melting gasifier (10) via a sluicing syste m (34, 38) and under pressure.
