Patent CA-2316838-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HUANG PEISEN S
IPC: G01B11/25
Filed: 1998-12-31
Abstract: A three-dimensional surface contouring method is based on the full-field fringe projection technique. A digital video projection system (18) is used to project digitally created fringe patterns onto the object (12). The fringe pattern distorted by the geometry of the object surface (14) is then captured by a high resolution CCD camera (20). To increase contouring resolution, purely software-based digital phase shifting technique is used, which eliminates the need for accurate positioning systems in the traditional phase shifting methods. The surface (14) is reconstructed by applying the phase wrapping and unwrapping algorithms.

Title: Pultrusion formed flexible belts
Inventor: BOND WILLIAM E
IPC: B29D29/00
Filed: 2000-11-23
Abstract: A method of manufacturing flexible belts from fibers. Fibers that form the flexible belt are soaked with a liquid elastomer. The liquid elastomer soaked fibers are formed into the shape of a belt, beneficially by wrapping the fibers around a mandrel. The belt-shaped and soaked fibers are then cured. Multiple layer flexible belts can be formed by soaking fibers with a first liquid elastomer, wrapping those fibers around a mandrel, and then curing the mandrel to form a belt layer. Then, fibers are soaked with a second liquid elastomers. Those soaked fibers are then wrapped around the mandrel/belt layer. The fibers soaked with the second elastomer are then cured, forming a belt having two layers. The formed belt is then removed from the mandrel. The fibers and liquid elastomer(s) are beneficially chosen to introduce desirable belt properties.

Inventor: PALVOELGYI SANDOR
IPC: B60K15/04
Filed: 2001-01-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a combination of a check valve for preventing the backflow of fuel from a fuel tank with an apparatus for limiting the fill level. The check valve is fixed to the end segment, projecting into the fuel tank, of a filler pipe and has a movable valve part exposing an inlet opening. The apparatus for limiting the fill level is arranged, viewed from the fuel tank, in front of the check valve and has a flap capable of closing an inlet opening and being actuated by a float. The flap, which is capable of closing the inlet opening is operatively connected to the rotatably mounted float via a transmission linkage in such a way that a comparatively slight rotation of the float will bring about a much greater rotation of the flap to adopt the closed position.

Filed: 2000-04-05
Abstract: L'invention concerne un thermocycleur à enceinte chauffante servant à mettre en oeuvre une PCR rapide sur de multiples échantillons de faible volume (1-20 µl), qui utilise un bloc d'échantillons extraplat de faible masse thermique dont la température peut être modulée rapidement et précisément par une pompe thermo-électrique unique (module thermo-électrique). Un groupement ordonné de puits d'échantillons espacés est formé dans la surface supérieure du bloc. Les échantillons sont placés dans les puits d'une plaque multipuits à parois ultrafines (20-40 µm) et mis en place dans le bloc d'échantillons. Un couvercle chauffant ferme hermétiquement les puits individuels en appliquant un film d'étanchéité sur la surface supérieure de la plaque multipuits supportée par la surface supérieure du bloc d'échantillons. La pression d'air provenant de l'intérieur des puits hermétiquement fermés en raison des températures élevées déforme les parois élastiques des puits de la plaque à parois ultrafines, et les met en contact thermique étroit avec le bloc d'échantillons. Un joint isole thermiquement le bloc d'échantillons du couvercle chauffant. Les réactions de PCR (30 cycles) peuvent être mises en oeuvre en 10-30 minutes.

Title: Method and device for transforming a two-dimensional sanitary napkin into a three-dimensional one
Inventor: AOUAD YOUSEF
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 1999-06-24
Abstract: This invention discloses a substantially flat sanitary napkin, i.e., one positioned almost exclusively in the x-y plane, having an expandable member therein that once activated by a female wearer either densifies in a prescribed zone and/or expands at least a portion of the sanitary napkin out of the x-y plane and into the z-plane to thereby create hump. Such activation occurs when cinch members are used to contract the expandable member in the x and/or y-directions while simultaneously causing its densification or expansion into the z-plane.
