Patent CA-2524177-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SANDBERG CHRISTER
IPC: D21D5/24
Filed: 2004-04-28
Abstract: The content of ray cells in cellulose pulp causes problems and therefore these ray cells should be removed from the cellulose pulp to improve the pulp quality. The present invention makes this possible and comprises a method wherein at first an advancing pulp suspension is screened or vortex cleaned, (3) leading to the formation of an accept pulp fraction (4) and a reject pulp fraction (5) and that the reject pulp fraction is cleaned and divided, and that accepted material (pulp fibres and valuable fine material) is brought to further treatment and/or use. The invention is characterized in that the cleaning and division of the reject pulp suspension is carried out so that substantially all ray cells are present in the apex fraction of a fractionating cyclone (6) (if that is the kind of device used) and in that said fraction as such constitutes a very limited material stream, or in that a very limited material stream, predominantly containing ray cells is selected from the apex fraction, and in that this very limited material stream is brought to a disposal stage.

Patent CA-2530019-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MACKINNON SEAN M
IPC: H01M4/88
Filed: 2005-12-13
Abstract: Contamination of the ion-exchange membrane in an electrochemical fuel cell can significantly reduce its lifetime. One source of contamination is from sealant materials, more specifically volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Pursuant to the invention, an assembled membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is heated at a temperature of about 200°C for about 2 hours. This removes a high percentage of VOCs present in the assembled MEA, more specifically present in the seals.

Title: Combine harvester having double unloading auger system
Inventor: KESTEL FREDERICK J
IPC: A01D41/12
Filed: 2005-12-14
Abstract: A combine harvester for harvesting grain and seed crops includes a double unloading auger system for unloading in both directions of travel harvested feed grains produced in one round or two lengths of a field to storage area of transport vehicle. The double unloading auger system has a first main unloading auger assembly being selectively operable for discharging the harvested grain from a first side of said combine harvester to the transport vehicle and a second main unloading auger assembly being selectively operable for discharging the harvested grain from a second side of said combine harvester to the transport vehicle. A pair of transverse auger is located in a bottom wall of the grain tank and is selectively reversibly driven for delivery of the harvested grain from the grain tank to either the first main unloading auger assembly or the second main unloading auger assembly. As a result, if one unloading auger system is inoperative the combine can be continued operating at a reduced capacity until the inoperative auger system is repaired.

Abstract: A system and method for increasing the accuracy of time delay estimates of signals propagating through an environment. The system includes one or more sensors for receiving a plurality of signals, and a time delay estimator for measuring time delays between multiple pairs of signals. At least some of the multiple pairs of signals are received and measured at different points in time. The system further includes a data analyzer for analyzing time delay estimation data, for generating a statistical distribution of time delay estimates from the data, and for calculating a statistical estimate of time delay from the distribution. By increasing the number of signals employed by the system, the accuracy of the time delay estimation is increased. Further, by calculating the median or the mode of the statistical distribution, noise tolerance is improved. The signals employed by the system may include sonar signals, seismic signals, ultrasonic signals, acoustic signals, electromagnetic signals, or any other suitable type of signals.
