Patent CA-2594933-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WEIDMER STAN C
IPC: B23B51/06
Filed: 2006-01-12
Abstract: A tool (2) for working a workpiece has a slot (30) provided between a pair of extremities (26) at its distal end (6). The extremities have cutting blades (20) mounted thereon. The slot is configured to receive a plate (40A). The tool has a conduit (8) running along its axis for communication of pressurized fluid (72) to the slot and plate. The plate directs flow of the pressurized fluid outward toward the extremities. The resulting outward force causes the extremities to bend outward, thereby urging the cutting blades outward for cutting, reaming, or other working of the workpiece. The resilience of the tool causes the extremities to return back inward when the fluid pressure is reduced. A plate may be configured to receive a wafer (58) for transferring force from the pressurized fluid to the extremities.

Filed: 2006-02-21
Abstract: A one-piece container closure with a collar, stiff planar triangular leaflets attached by linear hinges to the collar, and thin flexible foldable webs attached to and extending between the leaflets. The leaflets are flat with the webs folded beneath in closed closure position. The leaflets are pivoted upwardly with webs unfolded therebetween in open position. An integral cap is attached to the collar by a snap-action bow-tie hinge. A central pin on the cap seals with the leaflets when the cap is closed. The closure is integrally molded in open position with raised leaflets and unfolded webs, leaflets then being lowered and the webs folded to closed position while the closure is still warm, the cap then being closed, and the closed closure then being annealed to establish the elastic positional memory of the leaflets and hinges in the closed position when product is not being dispensed through the closure.
Patent CA-2599307-A1 (CA)
Title: Circuit arrangement and method for receiving specially designed coded signals
Inventor: RUDERSHAUSEN REINHART
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2006-03-02
Abstract: In order to attain an optimally compressed, narrow pulse peak at the filter output of a correlation filter for the purpose of reception, the interfering secondary maxima of the autocorrelation function of binary codes must be as small as possible. The invention uses specially designed signal codes which are used to generate the associated complementary signal code from the received sequence by means of evaluation in the reception filter. The subsequent parallel formation of the autocorrelation functions of the received signal code and the complementary signal code exhibits secondary maxima having an opposite mathematical sign, thus resulting in the desired perfect pulse peak having secondary maxima which are equal to zero during summation at the filter output.

Title: Methods of the purification and use of moderately saline water
Inventor: GROTT GERALD J
IPC: C02F1/42
Filed: 2006-07-28
Abstract: The invention relates to purifying unwanted moderately saline water. The methods of the present invention including passing moderately saline water through an ion exchange media saturated with ammonium salts to produce fertilizer water. In addition, the present invention relates to a method of passing moderately saline water through a dual bed cation and anion exchange process for producing purified water. The first cation exchange media is saturated with acids of hydrochloric, nitric or sulfuric acids. Meanwhile, the second ion exchange media is saturated with ammonium hydroxide. Passing the moderately saline water through the first ion exchange media creates an acid rich water which is then passed through the second ion exchange media to remove chloride, sulfate, nitrate, and nitrite anions. Through a regenerative cycle, a fertilizer water is produced which is rich in ammonium chloride, ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate.

Patent CA-2629470-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RENZO PASQUALE ANTONIO
IPC: D06F58/20
Filed: 2008-04-18
Abstract: A clothes dryer has a thermal insulation pad placed in a confined space in the dryer cabinet between the blower fan housing and the dryer cabinet side wall closest to the blower fan housing. The thermal insulation pad is press fit into the space so as to take up much of the volume of the confined space preventing the accumulation of dust or lint over time in the confined space while also preventing the flow of oxygen to the confined space. Accordingly, the thermal insulation pad reduces the risk of a fire starting in the confined area of the dryer cabinet between the blower wheel housing and the adjacent side wall of the cabinet. A thermal insulation pad also acts as sound insulation.

Patent CA-2634519-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GROHMANN BORIS
IPC: B64C3/50
Filed: 2006-12-20
Abstract: A flexible control surface (1; 11, 14) comprises at least two actuators (3), which act on the control surface (1; 11, 14) at different points of action (2) which are offset laterally with respect to the circulating-flow direction (6) with respect to one another. The at least two actuators (3) are designed such that the points of action (2) can be deflected differently when the actuators (3) are operated at the same time. It is thus possible to elastically deform the control surface (1; 11, 14), in particular along the span width direction (9), without kinks, in which case it is possible to achieve uniform transitions along the control surface laterally with respect to the flow direction (6). The invention makes it possible to reduce vortices and noise induced by the control surface.
