Next, the strip beginning (4) is placed against the lateral surface (11) of a cylindrical matrix (10), whose cross section corresponds to the cross section of the box, with the aid of a patrix (20) and attached by means of vacuum. Next, the matrix (10) is rotated. In so doing, the strip (1) is suctioned by vacuum onto the lateral surface (11) and held in place. After application of an adhesive at the beginning (4) or end of the strip (1), the beginning (4) and end of the strip are glued together. A base along whose periphery an adhesive bead was applied is then pressed onto the connecting tabs (3). After the adhesive has hardened, the finished box can be removed from the matrix (10).

Patent CA-2701039-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ITO MANA
IPC: C07C7/148
Filed: 2008-09-26
Abstract: Stage 1 Group I metal/porous metal oxide compositions or Stage II Group 1 metal/porous metal oxide compositions are shown to be useful to remove impurities and act as drying agents for various types of solvents and for olefinic monomers used in anionic polymerizations. One important advantage of these compositions is their ability to dry simultaneously solvent and monomers, without inducing a significant polymerization of the latter. Another important characteristic is the capacity of the compositions to be totally inactive toward conventional anionic polymerization which allows them to be left in situ during the polymerization itself.

Inventor: RIZZO NATHAN
IPC: F03G6/00
Filed: 2010-05-13
Abstract: The present invention is a ballasted solar panel mounting system primarily for mounting solar panels to a roof. The mounting system reduces waste space by positioning the first and/or the last row of bases beneath the panel. This potentially provides room for an additional row of panels and generation of a greater amount of electricity per square foot of area. Additionally, the mounting system uses bases with upwardly extending posts that are integrally connected to the bases that support ballasts. Thus, all assemblies that require attaching one part of the system to another is done at an elevated level to reduce the amount of bending required by the installers. Moreover, the unique system for installing solar panels can be installed without a jig. In some instances, it can be installed with only a single reference line (e.g., chalk line). Additionally, the bases are configured to be stackable for inexpensive storage and distribution.

Title: Retrieval tool with slips for retrieving bottom hole assembly during casing while drilling operations
Inventor: ERIKSEN ERIK P
IPC: E21B23/14
Filed: 2009-05-22
Abstract: A casing-while-drilling bottom hole assembly is releasably connected with a casing string. A retrieval tool is run into the casing string and latched to the bottom hole assembly. Slips are mounted to the retrieval tool, the slips being retracted during running in. Differential pressure moves the retrieval tool and bottom hole assembly upward, and the slips engage the casing string to prevent downward movement if the pressure differential drops too low. A flow passage extends through the retrieval tool and the bottom hole assembly. A check valve in the retrieval tool al-lows downward flow through the flow passage but prevents upward flow, so that fluid may be circulated through the retrieval tool and bottom hole assembly while suspended with the slips.
