Abstract: Smoke alarms ( detectors ) have been neglected or improperly used causing many deaths . Smoke alarms using a delay button ( test, silence ) work great except a chair or stick like object may be needed to reach the delay button . This invention would use a wireless button similar to a door bell to delay or temporary mute the smoke alarm . ( a thin wire may be used in place of wireless function.) . The remote button could use double sided tape or a screw to be mounted almost anywhere near your smoke alarm to customize your needs. This invention would reduce the stress of having a noisy alarm running while your hands are full dealing with whatever is causing the smoke .

Patent CA-2600092-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALLEN THOMAS E
IPC: G01N9/26
Filed: 2007-09-05
Abstract: A method for determining absolute density of a slurry that typically contains entrained air, such as cement slurry, in a continuous mixing operation such those used in cementing a gas or oil well. The method obtains density measurements of a slurry at two different pressures and then uses the two density measurements and the two pressure measurements to compute absolute density of the slurry employing the following formula at isothermal conditions:  Dabs = D1/(1-((D1/D2-1)/(P1/P2-1))), where Dabs=absolute density, D1=first density, D2=second density, P1=absolute pressure at which the first density was measured, and P2=absolute pressure at which the second density was measured.

Title: Box-grader
Inventor: HUVENAARS DANIEL M
IPC: E02F3/76
Filed: 2007-10-10
Abstract: A box-grader, specifically adapted to comprises a multi-functioning spreader/grader by means of a hydraulically operated pivot connection so as to provide operation as a spreader/grader, as well as operation as a box-scraper by means of a tail gate, suitable for and capable of cutting, grading, moving, spreading, leveling and carrying within itself the medium being acted upon. The assembly includes a framework to contain a pair of parallel spaced longitudinal side pans to provide material containment and ground engaging skid sled support during operation. Said framework contains a hitch assembly for attachment to a tractor or other suitable driving implement. At least one transverse blade mount extends between the side pans at the rear bottom corner to which a grader blade is attached. Said blade mount allows for material to flow over as it builds up in front of the blade. Said blade mount is adjustable vertically to compensate for blade wear, as well as depth of cut adjustment. Additionally, but not limited to, a second blade mount, which also allows for material to flow over it, is set at a particular angle, and is mounted between said side pans, forward of the rear blade mount to provide preliminary material interaction. Said blade mount is also adjustable vertically to allow for blade wear compensation and depth of cut adjustment. Additionally, said framework provides mount points to which, but not limited to, a hydraulic operated rear tail gate, consisting of pliable rubber edging, is attached to the frame, which when closed, acts against the rear faces of the side pans and the rear edge of the rear blade mount. Closing of said gate creates an enclosed 3-sided box scraper, within which graded material can be contained within said side pans and said rear tail gate for release at an alternate location, whereas opening of said gate allows material to pass freely over the blades as a passive earth grader.

Patent CA-2606850-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KNORR ANDREW KARL
IPC: B27B1/00
Filed: 2006-05-02
Abstract: A cutting-apparatus is used to slice a plurality of timber-sections from a log-segment that has a wedge-shaped cross-section. Before the step of slicing the log-segment into the individual timber-sections, there is a prior step of cutting a shape and configuration into the bark-edge-region of the log-segment. This includes cutting the intended outer profiles of timber-sections that eventually will be sliced from the segment. Thereafter, slicing the elongated segment produces timber-sections which have their cross-sections and edges already fully formed by the prior cutting step. The shape and configuration, that is pre-cut into the bark-edge-region, comprises a plurality of edge-face-cuts.

Title: Software process monitor
Inventor: ABE JULIANNE YOKO
IPC: G06F11/07
Filed: 2006-05-19
Abstract: A monitor program executes a set of client processes upon reboot of a computer, starts, stops and monitors client processes running on the computer, and/or detects and recovers automatically from process crashes. The program monitors a client process using a supervisory thread it creates when the client process is started, and uses the process's handle to detect its termination. When process termination is detected, the state table within the monitor program is checked to determine if the client process crashed or was exited normally. If the exit was the result of a crash, the program can automatically execute crash recovery using a preconfigured plan.

Title: Method and appartus for removing suspended solids from aqueous fluids
Inventor: RALPH AMBROSE
IPC: B01D21/26
Filed: 2007-10-30
Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning solids-laden aqueous fluids includes a settling tank having a sloping floor, which drops off into a collection area; primary and secondary mixing tanks, the lower regions of which are in fluid communication via fluid transfer means; and agitators in each of the mixing tanks. Solids-laden fluid is introduced into the primary mixing tank along with selected coagulant and/or flocculent chemicals, whereupon the agitator in the primary mixing tank is actuated to induce downward fluid flow toward the fluid transfer means and into the secondary mixing tank. The agitator in the secondary mixing tank is actuated to induce upward fluid flow in the secondary mixing tank, from which the fluid mixture overflows into the setting tank.  Solids settle or precipitate into the settling tank, and move the settling tank's sloped floor and into the collection area, from which the solids can be removed for further treatment or disposal.  Clean water is collected from the upper region of the settling tank, preferably via a spillway along the perimeter of the settling tank.

Abstract: A self-adhesive product having a laser slit release liner and method provide improved performance and lower materials cost in self-adhesive products such as roofing and underlayment products, through-wall flashing, below-grade waterproofing and other rolled or flat roofing or other such self-adhesive weatherproofing products. A single piece release liner is applied to a roll or liner of material over a self-adhesive layer of the material. The release liner is cut into two or more segments using a laser beam. The laser beam oxidizes the adhesive region of the self--adhesive material in the area under the laser beam used to slit the release liner, thereby eliminating or minimizing unwanted adhesion caused by the migration of adhesive material when the product is rolled, stacked or stored. The laser beam may be used to create two or more segments in the release liner in a linear or curvilinear fashion.

Abstract: A controller design for switching between m linear multivariable controllers each of whom stabilizes a linear plant has been presented. A Youla-Kucera factorization was exploited in the interest of obtaining a closed-loop system that is exponen-tially stable for any switching signal .sigma. (t) in the absence of plant model uncertainty. Robustness to practical model uncertainty was also considered and lower and upper bounds on the tolerable magnitude of unstructured additive plant uncertainty were presented.  Numerical example demonstrated that the two controller degrees of freedom in the proposed controller design could be used to sep-arately modify the closed-loop steady- state (with respect to .sigma. (t)) performance and the switching transients.
