Title: Pin fastener for achieving metal-to-metal connections
Inventor: DILL MICHAEL C
IPC: F16B15/06
Filed: 2005-07-25
Abstract: A new and improved fastener, uniquely adapted for securing together vertically oriented stud members and horizontally oriented track members of wall framework structures, comprises a forwardly extending pointed tip portion having a tangent ogive configuration so as to facilitate fast and accurate penetration into and through thin gauge sheet metal members without causing any excessive enlargement of the apertures formed within the thin gauge sheet metal member, and a shank portion which comprises a lower, spiral-threaded shank portion which facilitates the ease of penetration of the fastener into and through the thin gauge sheet metal members, and which causes a mating thread to effectively be extruded within the thin gauge sheet metal members. The upper shank portion may alternatively comprise a plurality of axially contiguous, annular flute members, or a plurality of nibs interposed between the spiral threads, which have oppositely disposed or oriented faces for facilitating the penetration of the fastener into and through the apertured thin gauge sheet metal members, and for engaging the annular rim regions of the thin gauge sheet metal members, which surround the apertures formed within the thin gauge sheet metal members, so as to significantly enhance the clamping forces and pull-out resistance values of the fastener with respect to the thin gauge sheet metal members.

Title: Distortion-immune position tracking using redundant measurements
Inventor: GOVARI ASSAF
IPC: G01V3/08
Filed: 2007-08-07
Abstract: A method for tracking a position of an object includes using a field sensor associated with the object to measure field strengths of magnetic fields generated by two or more field generators, wherein a measurement of at least one of the field strengths is subject to a distortion. Rotation-invariant location coordinates of the object are calculated responsively to the measured field strengths. Corrected location coordinates of the object are determined by applying to the rotation--invariant location coordinates a coordinate correcting function so as to adjust a relative contribution of each of the measured field strengths to the corrected location coordinates responsively to the distortion in the measured field strengths.

Patent CA-2605005-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROMPPANEN JAANA
IPC: C22B15/00
Filed: 2006-04-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the treatment of material containing at least one valuable metal and arsenic to form a valuable metal-depleted scorodite sediment and a pure aqueous solution to be discharged from the process. According to the method, the valuable metals are first removed from the material to be treated and then arsenic precipitation from the solution is performed in two stages. By means of the method, the aim is to obtain as low a valuable metal content as possible in the scorodite sediment that will be formed. Likewise, the arsenic and valuable metal content of the aqueous solution that is formed during arsenic precipitation also remains so low that the water can be released into the environment.

Inventor: CABLE MICHAEL D
IPC: H04N5/222
Filed: 2006-05-09
Abstract: The present invention integrates a structured light source into an imaging system for reconstructing surface topography of an object being imaged. The structured light source includes a mechanism for transmitting a set of lines onto the object from an angle. The lines are displaced, or phase shifted relative to a stage, when they encounter an object with finite height, such as a mouse. This phase shift provides structured light information for the object. A camera captures the structured light information. Using software that employs a structured light analysis, surface topography data for the object is determined from the phase shift of the lines.
