Title: Equipment for working a hard material
Inventor: SCHITTL JOSEF
IPC: H02K11/33
Filed: 1999-10-07
Abstract: Equipment for working a hard material includes a housing (2), a driving motor (1), located within the housing, a cooling duct (3) within the housing surrounding the driving motor, a tool (5) for working the hard material connected to the driving motor and at least one electronic component (19) mounted on a cooling device (8). A coolant supply source (6) supplies coolant under pressure to the cooling device (8) and then to an upstream end of the cooling duct (3). A first coolant discharge pipeline (13) is connected to a downstream end of the cooling duct (3). The first coolant discharge pipeline (13) flows the coolant into a reversible distributor (10). A second and a third coolant discharge pipeline (11, 12) extend from the reversible distributor (10) so that selectively all of the coolant can flow through the second coolant discharge pipeline (11 ) to the tools (5) or all of the coolant can flow through the third coolant discharge pipeline (12) to the coolant supply source or a part of the coolant can flow through each of the second and third coolant discharge pipelines. To operate the equipment if coolant flows through the cooling device (8), a flow monitor (14) detects the movement of coolant and sends an electronic signal to the electronic component (19). The power is supplied from an external power source to the driving motor (1) only when the flow monitor (14) signals that coolant is flowing.

Title: Helicopter deicing and anti-icing system and method
Inventor: ED DARRYL K
IPC: H02G7/16
Filed: 1999-12-14
Abstract: The improved helicopter anti-icing and deicing system and method includes mounting an airfoil shaped manifold transversely of the helicopter and filling the manifold with anti-icing or deicing fluid which is not under sufficient pressure to spray outwardly from the manifold. Instead, the rear edge of the manifold is provided with small, spaced openings which cause fluid droplets to form along the rear edge of the manifold and to then drop downwardly by gravity. The helicopter is positioned above a power line with the power line extending in the direction of the helicopter longitudinal axis and droplets are caused to exit the manifold as the helicopter flies along the power line.

Patent CA-2292978-A1 (CA)
Title: Optical waveguides, optical circuits and method and apparatus for producing optical waveguides and optical circuits
Inventor: HATAMI-HANZA HAMID
IPC: G02B6/124
Filed: 1999-12-21
Abstract: Optical circuits, in optical waveguide structures, are provided by making grating elements in patterns defined by perturbations of the refractive index of the waveguide material. An optical waveguide including ultraviolet (UV) photosensitive material is carried by a substrate to provide a waveguide assembly. The assembly is overlaid with a first mask being nontransparent to ultraviolet light and having a transparent aperture which defines an area of the optical waveguide for formation of an optical circuit. The first mask also includes registration targets. A grating mask with ports for passing ultraviolet light is removably clamped in a space registered relationship over the first mask, to provide a process assembly which is vibration tolerant. Exposing the grating mask to an ultraviolet radiation source, such as a UV lamp, forms the desired perturbations to affect the grating elements. The grating mask is removed and is reusable. As the location of each grating element is defined in relation to the registration targets, either the manufacturer or a user is at liberty to post-manufacture adjust the optical circuit using a narrow beam of ultraviolet light controlled to impinge upon one or more grating elements.

Patent CA-2301390-A1 (CA)
Title: Colloid mill
Inventor: CARTER ARNOLD S
IPC: B01F27/73
Filed: 2000-03-20
Abstract: A colloid mill has a cylindrical processing chamber with an inlet end, a discharge end and a rotor mounted in the chamber between the two ends. The inlets to the inlet end are radial, while the discharge from the discharge end of the mill is tangential. This provides a good mixing of the materials introduced at the inlet before they are subjected to milling by the rotor and minimizes the back pressure on the material being discharged at the discharge end. The rotor assembly in the mill has two rotors spaced axially apart. Beaters project from the rotor assembly into the mixing chamber at the inlets and through the mixing chamber between the two rotors. The rotor assembly is mounted on the rotor shaft to prevent axial migration of the rotor assembly on the shaft. At one end, the shaft is mounted in thrust bearings while at the opposite end it is mounted in a self-aligning spherical bearing that allows axial expansion and contraction of the shaft due to thermal effects. The mill may be made with two rotor assemblies arranged back-to-back, with a centre inlet and discharges at opposite ends.

Patent CA-2302481-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NEWELL ROBERT JAMES
IPC: A61D17/00
Filed: 1998-08-26
Abstract: A method of detecting a first cow when mounted by a second cow is described.  One or more beams of light are directed wholly or substantially horizontally at one or more detectors, and at a level above the first cow and corresponding to the additional height of the second cow when mounting the first cow, such that the mounting of the first cow by the second cow breaks one or more of the beams of light to one or more of the detectors, and the or each detected break causes activation of an alarm means or a cow identification means or both. Mounting is an indication to the farmer that the cow is ready for insemination, and the invention provides an automatic method of alerting when a cow on heat, or immediately identifying a cow on heat, which is only activated as and when the cow allows herself to be mounted. Preferably, two or more beams of light and two or more detectors are used, and the detectors work in partnership to coordinate two or more differently located cameras to the location of breakage of the light beams.

Patent CA-2304028-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for forming thin film, spheroid coated with thin film, light bulb using the spheroid and equipment for film formation
Inventor: OMATA YUUJI
IPC: H01J9/20
Filed: 2000-04-05
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for forming thin films, wherein thin films with a uniform thickness can be formed on substrates as objects such as spheroids, even when the films are formed by conventional film-formation methods using an incident particle beam coming from a specific direction (e.g., evaporation and sputtering). In the method, thin films are formed on substrates such as spheroids with an incident particle beam coming from a particle source located in a specific direction by performing a spin motion together with a swing motion. The spin motion is a rotation of the substrate at a constant angular velocity about the spheroidal axis. The swing motion is a rotational oscillation of the same substrate for rotationally oscillating the axis at a constant cycle in one surface, where the center of the rotational oscillation is in the vicinity of the midpoint between two focal points on the axis of the spheroid. As a result, thin films with a uniform thickness in both the peripheral direction of the substrate and in the rotational axis direction of the spin motion can be formed even on substrates including spheroids.

Patent CA-2309943-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAFTER DAVID JOHN
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1999-02-23
Abstract: L'invention concerne le traitement de la diarrhée et d'états apparentés, induits par l'infection à E. coli pathogène. Elle porte notamment sur la découverte inattendue du fait que l'administration d'une composition qui fixe et supprime les toxines du type shiga (SLT) produites par E. coli pathogène lorsqu'un antibiotique est administré, permet d'améliorer le traitement. L'invention se rapporte aussi à des nouvelles compositions contenant un antibiotique et une composition fixant les toxines et à des méthodes de traitement, dans lesquelles la composition fixant les toxines est administrée simultanément, à chaque fois qu'un antibiotique est administré. Ces compositions et méthodes permettent de tuer les organismes E. coli entériques, à l'origine des états pathologiques, et de neutraliser les SLT produites par les organismes et/ou dégagées par les organismes lorsqu'ils sont tués. Ainsi, ces composition et méthodes sont mieux à même d'atténuer les symptômes de l'infection et d'inhiber la progression de celle-ci et sa transformation en syndrome hémolytique et urémique qu'un traitement classique.
