Title: Tennis ball recovery system
Inventor: CAVANAGH PETER A
IPC: A63B69/00
Filed: 1990-09-18
Abstract: A tennis ball recovery system utilizes an elastic screen (15) suspended from a back stop at an angle and is joined to a trough that lies on the ground by means that allow the screen (15) to pivot as the trough is moved to a storage position against the back court fence (12). In the operative position the screen is at an angle with respect to the vertical. The trough has a frontal wall (18) that rises at a small angle to the ground and this wall terminates in a lip (22) that lies over the bottom wall (17) of the trough. A feed screw (31, 31') fits in the bottom of the trough to feed balls retrieved to a central point where they are discharged into a bucket (42).

Patent CA-2051286-A1 (CA)
Title: Blade sharpener
Inventor: WILLIAMS DAVID M
IPC: B24D15/08
Filed: 1991-09-16
Abstract: ABSTRACT                       "BLADE SHARPENER"       A  blade  sharpener  of  the  kind  having  a  pair  of ovelapping plates which are relatively arranged to form a vee shaped sharpening recess between them.  Each of the opposite sloping sides of that recess is formed by an operative edge of a respective one of the two plates,  and each of those edges extends between a front face and a back face of the respective plate.   A  relatively  sharp  corner  is  formed  between  each operative edge and the back face of the respective plate, and a relatively blunt - e.g., rounded - corner is formed between each operative edge  and  the  front  face  of  the  respective plate.  The plates may be mounted on a member which can pivot between a position at which the plates  tilt  forward  and  a position at which the plates tilt back.  Spring means may be operative to engage the back edge of a blade located in the recess so as to press the cutting edge of the blade against the  plates.   The  arrangement  is  such  that  longitudinal movement of a blade through the recess in a direction towards the plate front faces, causes the sharp edges of the plates to be operative to sharpen the cutting edge of the blade, whereas in the reverse direction of the blade the blunt edges come into contact with the blade cutting edge so that sharpening of that edge does not occur.

Title: Forms automation system
Inventor: YAKSICH MARY J
IPC: G06F17/22
Filed: 1991-10-18
Abstract: For large users of business forms having multiple use locations, a system and method are provided for eliminating or minimizing warehousing of pre-printed (paper) forms, minimizing the number of paper forms necessary, eliminating or minimizing redundant entry and processing of data, and minimizing forms distribution costs. The forms are designed at a central location, forms automation platform, and any form can be created in a number of different printer formats. The forms may be stored in display images. A central library facility functions as a central respository for business forms in electronic format, which have been transmitted from the forms automation platform. The forms are distributed to specified use locations by the central library depending upon the needs of the various use locations. Forms may be printed directly at a use location, or at a manufacturing facility remote from the use location and then subsequently delivered to the use location. The forms may also be delivered from a warehouse owned by a forms vendor (rather than the user). The same forms exist in electronic and paper media. The forms are up-dated, and are automatically released, on scheduled release/update dates, to computers located at each of the end user sites.

Title: Power station installation
Inventor: FRUTSCHI HANSULRICH
IPC: F02C1/05
Filed: 1992-08-26
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE         In  a  power  station installation  which  is designed as a combined installation, i.e. consists of a gas turbine group (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8) and of a steam cycle (13,  16,  17,  18, 19, 20) downstream of the gas turbine group,  the  steam rate being generated in a waste heat boiler (13) by heat exchange with the exit gases from the gas turbine (5), a heat exchanger (7), which is a component of a closed cycle, with a high-temperature reactor (12) as the heat source is placed downstream  of  the  last  compressor  (4)  of  the  gas turbine group and upstream of the combustion chamber (8).  In this heat exchanger  (7),  the compressed air undergoes vigorous caloric processing before it flows into the downstream combustion chamber (8) in which the final caloric processing of the hot gases for charging the  gas  turbine  (5)  is  accomplished.  The  essential point here is that the pollutant emissions of any type, in particular CO2,  are effectively minimized by the extensive substitution by the heat provided via the high-temperature reactor.

Title: Method for draping curtains
Inventor: TACCHELLA WILLIAM C
IPC: A47H13/16
Filed: 1993-01-18
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure An inproved method for draping curtains which allows one person to form a decorative window treatment without requiring any specialized skills or training.  The method allows a curtain to be draped from a curtain rod of conventional configuration in a decorative manner about a window opening.  The method uses hook and loop type fastening means to secure the curtain fabric to the curtain rod and thereby prevents the curtain from sagging at the top.  Simple curtain rings are placed over the ends of the depending curtain fabric and then installed on the curtain rot near its ends to allow a portion of the curtain to form a decorative downwardly curved arc of fabric. The newly formed arc is then "dressed" or folded into pleats to complete the decorative window treatment. The improved method is also shown applied to a bay window treatment.    An alternate embodiment is shown with the draped end portion of the curtain fabric looped and fastened to the curtain rod to allow a decorative puff to be formed in the looped fabric adjacent the curtain rings.
