Patent CA-2269653-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MASLOWSKI EDWARD M
IPC: B65D21/02
Filed: 1999-04-22
Abstract: A molded plastic drum for shipping large quantities of food or other materials includes cylindrical or frustoconical upper and lower sections joined by a middle transition section that is frustoconically shaped. The lower section is smaller in diameter than the upper section to permit nesting of the drums. The lower section side wall includes reinforcing flutes for stiffening the lower section to prevent elephant footing. A chime is compression-molded onto the upper edge of the drum body such that no portion of the chime extends inwardly and there are no depressions in the inner surface of the side wall, thin permitting solid or semi-solid materials to slide unimpeded out the top opening of the drum. A clearance ring is compression-molded onto the side wall of the drum at a location spaced below the chime to help prevent the cover of the drum from being dislodged by contact with an adjacent drum or a wall of a shipping container. The drum side wall preferably comprises a laminate having a layer of polymer containing a reinforcing agent such as glass fibers, and two layers of high-density polyethylene sandwiching the reinforced polymer layer therebetween.

Filed: 1997-12-22
Abstract: A split sleeve (11) for insulation of heat generating components, such as an exhaust gas recirculation device, comprises an outer layer of knitted woven or braided glass fibre yarn (12). A first metal wire (14) skeleton or frame in the form of a continuous wire support for the outer layer (12) is bent in a first step with a series of reverse bends to form a comb-like structure and in a second step to a C-shaped cross-sectional configuration in which the wire defines a cavity and the wire bends define an opening (22) extending lengthwise of the cavity. A layer of heat insulating mineral paper (16) is spaced from the cover layer (12) by the metal wire (14) skeleton. The heat insulating mineral paper (16) is provided with a metal foil layer (18) on the side away from the metal wire (14) skeleton. A second metal wire layer (20) configured like the first extends lengthwise of the sleeve (11) and spaces the reflective surface (19) of the foil (18) from the heat generating component.  The various layers of the sleeve are secured together to form an axially extending opening which fits over the component requiring insulation.

Filed: 1998-07-27
Abstract: A method and system for utilizing resources according to a novel computing architecture are provided, including an operational environment for denizen processes (100) and a way for denizens (100) to travel between locations. A  denizen process (100) is capable of receiving instructions (300), evaluating different locations in the operational environment in view of the received instructions (302, 304), selecting a location based on that evaluation (306), moving itself to the selected location (314), and executing a portion of the received instructions at the selected location (316). To avoid distributing viruses and to reduce bandwidth requirements, denizens (100) can move by specifying information for building a denizen (100) by using code stored in a library at the destination location. The denizen (100) is also capable of reproducing and archiving itself (318), of detecting an error in itself, and of attempting to replace itself with an archived copy of itself or attempting to rebuild itself from library components. In addition, the denizen (100) is capable of modifying itself by dynamically loading and unloading code.  Denizens (100) can flexibly allocate processors because each denizen (100) can individually decide where it should execute. Application areas for employing the novel architecture include database management and natural language translation.

Abstract: A computerized resource accounting method and system (36, 46, 56), and in particular a computerized utility resource management method and system. Utility providers (38, 40, 42, 44, 64, 66, 68, 70) provide billable utilities to a number of consumers (34, 48, 50, 52, 54, 58, 60, 62). The consumption of the billable utilities by the consumers (34, 48, 50, 52, 54, 58, 60, 62) is monitored (220) by a host (20) over a public network. The data collected by host (20) is then checked for validity against a number of criteria or tolerances (240, 250, 260). If the collected data is valid, then the data is consolidated into one or more customer (34, 48, 50, 52, 54, 58, 60, 62) viewable reports (230). These viewable reports (230) are then accessed by the consumer (34, 48, 50, 52, 54, 58, 60, 62) over a public network. The consumer (34, 48, 50, 52, 54, 58, 60, 62) viewable reports (230) may be formatted in to any desirable appearance. Further, the reports (230) can be generated for each site a consumer (58a, 58b, 58c, 60a, 60b, 60c, 62a, 62b, 62c) which consumes billable utilities from provider (38, 40, 42, 44, 64, 66, 68, 70).

Title: Process for producing liquid and, optionally, gaseous products from gaseous reactants
Inventor: STEYNBERG ANDRE PETER
IPC: C10K/
Filed: 1998-10-01
Abstract: The process of the invention comprises feeding gaseous reactants into a slurry bed of particles suspended in a liquid. The gaseous reactants (13) react in the slung bed (16), to form liquid and, optionally, gaseous products. The liquid product forms, together with the suspension liquid, a liquid phase of the slung bed (16). Any gaseous product and unreacted gaseous reactants disengage from the slung bed, and pass upwardly, together with any entrained solid particles and liquid phase, as a gas phase into a head space (17) above the slurry bed (16). The gas phase is subjected to distillation and, optionally, washing in the head space, to separate any entrained solid particles and liquid phase from the gas phase. Any separated entrained solid particles and, optionally, liquid phase is returned to the slurry bed. The treated gas phase is withdrawn (44, 46) from the head space.
Patent CA-2306845-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TE KOLSTE ROBERT
IPC: H04B10/572
Filed: 1999-08-31
Abstract: A power monitor for a light emitter emitting from a single face creates a monitor beam by deflecting a portion of the application beam and further manipulating the monitor beam to allow more efficient use of the monitor beam. For example, the monitor beam may be collimated to allow an increase in spacing between the light emitter and a detector for sensing the monitor beam. Alternatively or additionally, the monitor beam may be focused to allow use of a smaller detector and of a smaller percentage of the application beam. The diffractive element deflecting the beam may be either transmissive or reflective. The additionally manipulation of the monitor beam may be provided by the same diffractive element which deflects the beam, which is particularly useful when the diffractive element is reflective, and/or by additional optical elements.
