Title: Flammable blowing agent control and blend systems for pur/pir foam
Inventor: GLORISO JOEY
IPC: B01F35/60
Filed: 2002-08-16
Abstract: A system and a method of providing PUR/PIR foam using flammable blowing agent.  The flammable blowing agent is introduced to PUR/PIR manufacturing equipment via an independent feed-line. This enables a flammable blowing agent storage vessel to be located off site from the foam manufacturing equipment. The independent flammable blowing agent feed-line couples the off-site flammable blowing agent storage vessel with the foam production system. The preferred flammable blowing agent is pentane.
Patent CA-2457897-A1 (CA)
Title: Linear tensioner
Inventor: SERKH ALEXANDER
IPC: F16H7/08
Filed: 2002-08-27
Abstract: The invention comprises a tensioner having a pulley (1) journaled to a housing (3). The housing further comprises a guide (4). The guide slidingly engages rails (7, 17) on a base (6). The guide and rails constrain the housing to move in a predetermined linear path. The rails are horizontally offset from two axis defined by the pulley. The pulley load is also vertically offset from the axis of movements of the guide. The guide and rails have a predetermined frictional coefficient so that the cumulative result is an asymmetric damping effect. Further, a linkage (8) is connected between the housing and a camming body (9). The camming body is rotatably connected to the base. A biasing member such as a torsion spring (11) biases the camming boy against the belt load through the linkage. The radius of the camming body is variable to maintain a constant belt load as the tensioner pulley moves in response to a load change.

Patent CA-2464927-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SRIVASTAVA DIVESH
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2004-04-21
Abstract: An organization's data records are often noisy: because of transcription errors, incomplete information, and lack of standard formats for textual data. A fundamental task during data cleansing and integration is matching strings -perhaps across multiple relations- that refer to the same entity (e.g., organization name or address). Furthermore, it is desirable to perform this matching within an RDBMS, which is where the data is likely to reside. In this paper, We adapt the widely used and established cosine similarity metric from the information retrieval field to the relational database context in order to identify potential string matches across relations. We then use this similarity metric to characterize this key aspect of data cleansing and integration as a join between relations on textual attributes, where the similarity of matches exceeds a specified threshold. Computing an exact answer to the text join can be expensive. For query processing efficiency, we propose an approximate, sampling-based approach to the join problem that can be easily and efficiently executed in a standard, unmodified RDBMS. Therefore the present invention includes a system for string matching across multiple relations in a relational database management system comprising generating a set of strings from a set of characters, decomposing each string into a subset of tokens, establishing at least two relations within the strings, establishing a similarity threshold for the relations, sampling the at least two relations, correlating the relations for the similarity threshold and returning all of the tokens which meet the criteria of the similarity threshold.

Title: Tampon absorbant comprime
Inventor: NGUYEN HEIN
IPC: A61F13/20
Filed: 2003-06-05
Abstract: L'invention concerne un nouveau procédé de fabrication d'un tampon comprimé qui consiste notamment à former une structure ouverte comprenant au moins environ 5 % en poids de matériaux cellulosiques; à chauffer la structure ouverte à une température d'au moins environ 40 ·C; à comprimer la structure ouverte chauffée pour former le tampon comprimé; et à libérer le tampon fibreux comprimé de la compression. Aussi bien la force requise par la compression que le degré de surcompression sont étonnamment réduits de manière significative lorsque la bande fibreuse est chauffée préalablement à la compression. En effet, selon l'invention, le chauffage de la bande fibreuse avant compression sous la forme du tampon permet d'obtenir un produit plus régulier et dimensionnellement contrôlé. En outre, une compression moindre suffit pour obtenir un produit dimensionnellement stable avec une dégradation réduite des fibres.
