Patent CA-2627796-A1 (CA)
Title: Lock for shelving assembly
Inventor: NANCE DAVID W
IPC: A47B96/14
Filed: 2008-03-31
Abstract: The lock for a shelving assembly secures the connector ends of the horizontal members to the uprights of the assembly, preventing the horizontal members from being lifted from their attachments to the uprights. The lock comprises a rigid, inflexible lock bar having a peripheral frame surrounding a central passage therethrough, and an opposite distal end with a lock tab extending therefrom. The attachment edge of the lock bar frame is hooked upon a protruding lance tab of the connector end, with the lance tab serving as a hinge or fulcrum for the lock bar. A spring is wedged between the attachment edge of the lock bar frame and the adjacent connector end, urging the distal end of the lock bar toward the connector to engage the lock tab within aligned holes of the connector and upright to which it is attached.

Title: Exhaust gas purifying apparatus and exhaust gas purifying method
Inventor: OGAI MASAHIKO
IPC: F01N3/08
Filed: 2006-10-31
Abstract: Disclosed is an exhaust gas clean-up system comprising a lean-burn engine, a Pd catalyst (1) which is placed in an exhaust gas discharged from the lean-burn engine and comprises Pd supported on a porous oxide at a high concentration of 3% by weight or higher, and a enrichment means (32) for enriching the exhaust gas atmosphere temporarily at an area surrounding the Pd catalyst. It is considered that, in the exhaust gas under the lean atmosphere, NO is oxidized on the Pd catalyst (1) into NO2 and the NO2 and NO2 originally present in the exhaust gas are adsorbed onto Pd. This reaction occurs at a low temperature of about 200 to 300~C, whereby NOx can be occluded onto the Pd catalyst (1). Thus, it becomes possible to achieve a reduction/clean-up of NOx at a low temperature ranging from 200 to 300~C without the need of using any occluding agent comprising an alkaline component.
Patent CA-2629639-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCBRIDE TODD
IPC: E02B3/00
Filed: 2008-04-23
Abstract: A fluid diversion conduit is described for diverting the flow of fluid, and particularly for diverting water from a stream to a discharge location. The discharge end of the duct has a segment of gradually enlarging cross sectional area, forming a hydraulic flow diffuser. Water flow through this segment is thereby slowed as the flow area increases, and most of the dynamic head of the water flow is recovered, improving flow capacity of the conduit. The rate of flow through the conduit may be monitored and controlled to achieve streamline flow in the diffuser section, and to prevent air from entering the diffuser section. Air entering the conduit may be expelled or otherwise displaced from the conduit.
