Patent CA-2510998-A1 (CA)
Title: Stormwater filtration tank
Inventor: YOUNIS HISHAM
IPC: E03F1/00
Filed: 2005-07-11
Abstract: A single tank for primary or inline treatment of stormwater runoff. The tank consists of multiple concentric or eccentric compartments that are cylindrical or rectangular in shape. The inner compartment receives the untreated water through a perforated catch-basin cover or an inline inlet pipe. The partially treated water from this compartment, and any other compartment thereafter, overflows into a receiving compartment that completely surrounds the source compartment. The combination of gravity, density gradients, pipe siphon arrangement and laminar flow conditions created by the shape of each of the treatment compartment forces maximum separation of oils and sediments without the need for moving parts or chemicals. A mixture of non-compacted, oleophilic and oleophopic media is installed in one or some of the final compartment to coalesce residual free and partially emulsified oil droplets and separate them from water. The media will also help knock out residual suspended solids. Other types of media like Mica, sand, activated carbon or bacterial growth enhancing media can be used in conjunction of or instead of the oil-removal media to remove other pollutants.

Title: Asymmetric snowmobile ski
Inventor: LEMIEUX RENE
IPC: B62D57/00
Filed: 2005-09-20
Abstract: A snowmobile ski has a base with dominant and outrigger keels integrally formed therewith. Runners are disposed on the bottoms of the keels. The dominant keel is disposed on the center line of the ski, while the outrigger keel is disposed adjacent to one outer lateral edge of the ski and corresponding snowmobile. Consequently, the keels are asymmetrically disposed relative to the center line. A substantially flat floatation area is disposed on a bottom surface of the base on an opposite side of the dominant keel from the outrigger keel. The asymmetrical positioning of the keels and floatation area improves the ski's handling characteristics.

Patent CA-2530629-A1 (CA)
Title: Pallet assembly
Inventor: OVERHOLT TRENTON M
IPC: B65D19/00
Filed: 2005-12-15
Abstract: A pallet assembly includes an upper deck and a lower deck spaced by a plurality of columns. In one embodiment, the columns are snap-fit into the upper deck and the lower deck. The weight of the pallet is reduced without significant reduction in strength by providing only a single cross beam in each of the upper and lower reinforcement members and orienting them perpendicular to one another. The reinforcement members are minimized for weight reduction and for improved performance in heat tests. The peripheral rail of the upper reinforcement member is reduced such that it rests on only an inwardly open recess on an inner corner of each of the corner columns. This reduces the size and weight of the upper reinforcement member, while still providing support to the upper deck.  Additionally, the peripheral rails of both the upper and lower decks are reduced in length such that either ledge does not directly support them while the pallet is stored on a rack. As a result, in the case of sufficient heat source on the pallets, the pallets will eventually collapse without interference from the reinforcement members and at least partially smother the heat source.

Filed: 2004-09-23
Abstract: Discontinuous diamond particulate containing metal matrix composites of high thermal conductivity and methods for producing these composites are provided.  The manufacturing method includes producing a thin reaction formed and diffusion bonded functionally graded interactive SiC surface layer on diamond particles. The interactive surface converted SiC coated diamond particles are then disposed into a mold and between the particles and permitted to rapidly solidify under pressure. The surface conversion interative SiC coating on the diamond particles achieves minimal interface thermal resistance with the metal matrix which translates into good mechanical strength and stiffness of the composites and facilitates near theoretical thermal conductivity levels to be attained in the composite. Secondary working of the diamond metal composite can be performed for producing thin sheet product.

Title: Method and system for conversion of automation test scripts into abstract test case representation with persistence
Inventor: KIM ANDREW HYUN-CHUL
IPC: G06F17/22
Filed: 2005-01-06
Abstract: A general technique using semantic analysis is provided that can be used for converting a specific automation test script (and its underlying test case), generated from generally available or proprietary test automation tools, into an abstract test case representation. The abstract test case representation is based on a test case representation model that includes application states (state information), external interaction sequences (control flow information) and input data. The abstract representation in essence provides a platform independent representation of test cases. An application object model provides the representational capabilities required for capturing structural and behavioral properties of the application under test. The abstract test case representation can be validated against and further enriched by specific object information from an application metadata repository. Finally, object information and input data can be separated from control flow information to provide automatic parameterization of the test script.
