Title: Easy-to-adjust grader
Inventor: FOURNET FRANCIS
IPC: B07B13/075
Filed: 1999-03-03
Granted: 2006-06-20
Abstract: An easily adjustable grader for sizing and sorting food products, especially shellfish such as shrimp. The grader includes a series of parallel rotating rollers attached at either end to drive chains. The drive chains include adjustment levers attached rotatably at each roller position. The levers have a first arm terminating in a rolling wheel and a second arm whose end conforms to the chain. An adjustment rail is positioned above each chain along the length of the grader. The wheels of the levers ride along cam surface on the underside of the rail. Rail adjusters at each end of the rail raise and lower each end of the rail to change the spacing between the cam surface and the chain along the length of the grader.  The pressure exerted by the cam surface on the lever causes the chain to kink in proportion to the distance between the cam surface and the chain, which adjusts the gap between consecutive rollers.      The widths of the gaps determine the size gradations of the grader.

Abstract: The clip-on sunglasses assembly includes four clasps for engaging the frame of eyeglasses. Each includes a screw which secures the sunglass lens within a recess in the clasp. The end of the screw is provided with a central recess defining a circular edge. As the screw is tightened, the edge contacts the lens and forms a circular groove in the lens surface by displacing a small amount of lens material. The circular contact area distributes the stress normally concentrated at a point on the lens by a conventional screw, thereby reducing the chances of cracking the lens.      Two clasps are welded to the ends of a bridge member and affixed to pre-shaped lenses at marked locations. Each clasp has a bent tail bar enclosed by a heat shrinkable tube.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil servant à décokéfier et à supprimer la formation de coke au cours d'une opération de pyrolyse, qui ne nécessitent pas de fermeture complète du fourneau de pyrolyse. Pour mettre en oeuvre l'étape de décokage, la charge d'alimentation d'hydrocarbure est coupée en direction d'un ou de plusieurs serpentins pendant une durée généralement inférieure à environ trois heures, au cours desquelles un additif de décokage est ajouté au flux de vapeur dans le serpentin. L'additif est constitué d'une solution aqueuse d'un sel d'un métal du groupe IA et d'un sel d'un métal du groupe IIA, et permet de catalyser le retrait de coke. La charge d'alimentation se poursuit dans les autres serpentins au cours de ce procédé. Après décokage, un additif d'élimination comportant également des métaux des groupes IA et IIA est ajouté à la vapeur et à la charge d'alimentation. Cet additif d'élimination fond sur les surfaces intérieures des serpentins du four de pyrolyse, recouvrant les serpentins d'une couche de verre qui inhibe la formation de coke. L'appareil de l'invention est particulièrement conçu pour permettre d'introduire des additifs de l'invention dans le flux de vapeur selon une dimension des gouttes voulue, sans contact avec les bords du serpentin.

Title: System for processing oil refinery waste
Inventor: CONAWAY LAWRENCE M
IPC: B09C1/08
Filed: 1998-11-16
Granted: 2005-06-07
Abstract: Refinery waste feedstock is screened in a screen (14) to remove large particles and is diluted to less than 5 % solids weight percent to form a first slurry which is agitated and heated to 180 degrees Fahrenheit in a conditioning vessel (18). The conditioned first slurry is passed through a first centrifuge (22) which separates the conditioned first slung into a first liquid effluent and a first residual cake. The first residual cake is diluted with hot water and treated with hydrogen peroxide in a reactor tank (26) to form a second slurry and lyre and/or liberate petroleum compounds and oxidize toxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to non-toxic derivatives. The second slurry is passed through a centrifuge (32), yielding a second liquid effluent and a residual cake containing about 0.5 % or less petroleum and about 70 % solids, which may be landfilled directly or further dewatered as needed.

Title: High efficiency intracavity doubled laser and method
Inventor: MACKINNON NEIL
IPC: H01S3/109
Filed: 1998-09-10
Granted: 2002-07-23
Abstract: An intracavity doubled single longitudinal mode laser is disclosed which provides stable (i.e., low amplitude variation in its output beam intensity), efficient operation. An associated method is also disclosed. A lasant material (36) is positioned in the cavity for producing light at a desired fundamental wavelength and possibly other, unwanted wavelengths. Polarizing means (38) and a type I doubling material (36) are also positioned in the cavity. During operation of the laser, the polarizing means polarizes the desired fundamental wavelength as well as the unwanted wavelengths of light produced by the lasant material. The type I doubling material then produces output wavelengths at twice the frequency of any wavelengths passing therethrough. The type I  doubling material and the polarizing means are arranged such that they cooperate in a way which causes the unwanted wavelengths to be subjected to losses which result in the unwanted wavelengths being extinguished while the desired fundamental wavelength is subjected to a level of loss above a lasing threshold so that the desired fundamental wavelength lases, thereby producing the desired output wavelength. In one aspect of the invention, blue light may be produced as the output wavelength.

A reinforcement member is disposed at the handle position to enhance the mechanical strength of the handle while locked. The openings of the two door skins have halving structure to halve- joint together when assembled to form a closed cabin therebetween. The bottom lacing material is then drilled with a hole through which the ammonium polyester foaming plastic is filled into the cabin to finish the assembling of the said door.
Patent CA-2347162-C (CA)
Inventor: RAWLINS GREGORY S
IPC: H04L27/04
Filed: 1999-10-18
Granted: 2008-02-05
Abstract: A method and system is described wherein a signal with a lower frequency is up-converted to a higher frequency. In one embodiment, the higher frequency signal is used as a stable frequency and phase reference. In another embodiment, the invention is used as a transmitter. The upconversion is accomplished by controlling a switch with an oscillating signal, the frequency of the oscillating signal being selected as a sub-harmonic of the desired output frequency.  When the invention is being used as a frequency or phase reference, the oscillating signal is not modulated, and controls a switch that is connected to a bias signal. When the invention is being used in the frequency modulation (FM) or phase modulation (PM) implementations, the oscillating signal is modulated by an information signal before it causes the switch to gate the bias signal. In the amplitude modulation implementation (AM), the oscillating signal is not modulated, but rather causes the switch to gate a reference signal that is substantially equal to or proportional to the information signal. In the FM and PM implementations, the signal that is output from the switch is modulated substantially the same as the modulated oscillating signal. In the AM implementation, the signal that is output from the switch has an amplitude that is a function of the information signal. In both embodiments, the output of the switch is filtered, and the desired harmonic is output.

Title: Protection device to prevent train incursions into a forbidden area
Inventor: FISHER GLEN T
IPC: B61H11/02
Filed: 2001-05-11
Granted: 2009-07-07
Abstract: A protection device for a train is disclosed. The protection device works in conjunction with a remote controlled braking system on the train. The remote controlled braking system includes a transmitter in the locomotive of the train and a receiver located elsewhere on the train, typically on the last car. In an emergency situation the transmitter sends to the receiver over an RF communication link a brake command. When the receiver senses the brake command, it implements it by applying the brakes of the train from the car in which the receiver is placed. When the protection device senses that the train is about to enter a forbidden area, such as failing to obey a stop signal, it sends a brake command over the RF communication link to cause the application of the brakes by the receiver unit.
