Patent CA-2348148-A1 (CA)
Title: Applicator with non-twisted core
Inventor: GUERET JEAN-LOUIS
IPC: A46B5/00
Filed: 2001-05-18
Abstract: Applicator has a non-twisted base (20) with going-through bores (21) receiving hairs (22). The support is treated so that the diameter of the bore is reduced and the hairs are maintained in place. Hairs of different lengths and diameters within can be in the same group. The hairs are forming a curl (23), which acts as a product storing device. Independent claims are also included for the conditioning device and the manufacturing process for the conditioning device.
Patent CA-2349113-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCGUFFEY GRANT
IPC: B05B1/00
Filed: 2001-05-30
Abstract: A hot melt adhesive dispensing nozzle or die as-sembly spans two adjacent adhesive material valued inlets.      One of the valued inlets is blocked off by means of the noz-zle or die assembly, while the other adhesive material input or valued inlet is in effect split into two equal laterally separated output arrays of dispensing nozzles so as to pro-vide for a void in the dispensing or deposition pattern at a predeterminedly desired location. The nozzle or die assembly comprises unique structure for ensuring that the hot melt adhesive material is able to be conducted to the remote one of the laterally separated array of dispensing nozzles. In addition, the two laterally separated arrays of output dis-pensing nozzles together comprise the same number of conven-tional non-split output dispensing nozzles operatively asso-ciated with each adhesive material input or valued inlet such that the volume flow rate through each one of the indi-vidual dispensing nozzles remains the same. In this manner, the aforenoted pattern void is achieved while preserving the desired ratio of heated air to adhesive material whereby the hot melt adhesive material being dispensed retains its prop-er fluidic properties, and undue waste of the adhesive ma-terial is not incurred.

Inventor: RUDRAPATNA ASHOK N
IPC: H04W28/18
Filed: 2001-06-29
Abstract: A system is provided for adapting and customizing a reverse link beam and a forward link beam that couple a particular mobile unit with a base station for transmitting/receiving data. The forward and reverse links may be dynamically customized for changing data rate requirements, changing position of the mobile unit relative to the base station, and changing SNR. According to one aspect of the invention, a plurality of adaptive antenna elements for the forward and reverse links are located at the base station. In addition to conventional beam forming hardware, the beam forming circuitry of each antenna are coupled to a mobile location detector for detecting the location of a mobile unit with which the base station is communicating. Once the location of the mobile unit has been determined, the beamformer steers a customized narrow, high gain beam toward that mobile unit to form the desired link.

Abstract: Truck bed hopper (1) of mining dump truck that is capable of elastically deform itself when it is subject to loading(s) or unloading(s) of material, built preferably of structural or of wear and tear steel wherein the general structure of the bed hopper is curved. In this manner, the great moments of inertia which are achieved with curved surfaces eliminate or allow obviating to a great extent the use of beams as main resistive elements. The present bed hopper (1) includes that the protective blinder (2) be preferably cylindrical, whereas the frontal wall (5) and floor (6) are preferably elliptical. The bottom of the bed hopper (1) externally comprises a plurality of transversal beams (7), preferably 4 to 6, even more preferably 5, which main function is to keep the bottom surface curved and transfer the strengths of the envelopment to the truck's body. Further, externally the bottom also comprises a plurality of support elements (8), preferably two, that are located at the front part, i.e., ahead of the rotation axis of the hopper. Said support elements only permit the support of the bed hopper on the truck's body and may be eliminated if the truck's body adapts itself to directly take in the transversal beams.

Title: System and method for enabling multi-element bidding for influencing a position on a search result list generated by a computer network search engine
Inventor: SAVICH PETER
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2002-08-01
Abstract: A system and method for enabling information providers using a computer network such as the Internet to influence a position for a search listing within a search result list generated by an Internet search engine. A database stores accounts for the network information providers. Each account contains contact and billing information for a network information provider. In addition, each account contains at least one search listing having at least three components: a description, a search term comprising one or more keywords, and a bid amount. The network information provider may add, delete, or modify a search listing after authenticated login. A search term relevant to the content of the web site or other information source to be listed is first selected. A search listing includes the search term and a description. A bidding process occurs when the network information provider enters a new bid amount for a search listing. The system and method then compares the bid amount with all other bid amounts for the same search term, and generates a rank value for all search listings having that search term. The rank value determines where the listing will appear on the search results list page that is generated in response to a query of the search term by a searcher.
