Patent CA-2524068-A1 (CA)
Title: Pallet assembly
Inventor: OVERHOLT TRENTON M
IPC: B65D19/00
Filed: 2004-04-28
Abstract: A pallet assembly (10) includes an upper deck (12) and a lower deck (14) spaced by a plurality of columns (16). The weight of the pallet is reduced without significant reduction in strength by providing only a single cross beam in each of the upper (50) and lower (20) reinforcement members and orienting them perpendicular to one another. The reinforcement members are minimized for weight reduction and for improved performance in heat tests. The peripheral rail of the upper reinforcement member (50) is reduced such that it rests on only an inwardly open recess on an inner corner of each of the corner columns. This reduces the size and weight of the upper reinforcement member (50), while still providing support to the upper deck (12). Additionally, the peripheral rails of both the upper (12) and lower decks (14) are reduced in length such that either ledge does not directly support them while the pallet is stored on a rack (70). As a result, in the case of sufficient heat source on the pallets, the pallets will eventually collapse without interference from the reinforcement members and at least partially smother the heat source.

Title: Wall hydrant with slip clutch assembly
Inventor: BALL WILLIAM T
IPC: E03B9/02
Filed: 2005-10-26
Abstract: A hydrant for use with a plumbing outlet pipe has a fluid passage passing from an inlet end to an outlet end and a retention body connected to the inlet end. A slip clutch adapted to contractibly receive the pipe and prevent reverse pipe movement therethrough is located within the retention body. The slip clutch comprises a retaining ring having a plurality of sloped spring fingers normally allowing pipe movement in a linkage-contracting direction but preventing reverse pipe movement. The retention body is optionally integrally formed as a portion of the hydrant, placed within a cavity in the hydrant, or includes a threaded fitting removably mated with a corresponding threaded surface on the inlet end. A deactuator has a nose sized to engage the fingers to shift the fingers against their inherent bias to allow reverse pipe movement. A second retention body may be connected to the outlet end.
Patent CA-2524996-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CORMIER JEAN-PHILIPPE
IPC: H04W80/10
Filed: 2005-11-01
Abstract: In one embodiment, a scheme is provided for customization of a mobile communications device's data session retry mechanism in a wireless packet data service network. Upon detecting that a cause code has been returned by a node disposed in a wireless packet data service network, a structure is interrogated to determine if the cause code is mapped to a flag relating to the device's data session retry mechanism. Responsive to determining that the received cause code is mapped as a critical cause code, the data session retry mechanism of the mobile communications device is disabled so that further signaling messages towards the network are prevented.

Title: Bulk transmission of messages using a single http request
Inventor: CABRERA LUIS FELIPE
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2005-11-24
Abstract: Example embodiments provide for keeping an HTTP reply flow for a communication open such that portions of an overall response corresponding t o a single request may be sent across the HTTP reply flow. As the various portions of t he overall response become available at a corresponding service endpoint, the service appropriately encapsulates the messages and sends them to the requesting endpoint. The recipient or requesting endpoint of the response is then capable of reading the available portions of the response and appropriately decodes the embedded portions and is free to process these as appropriate. Accordingly, because only one reque st is made for several portions of a response valuable system resource are reserved for only requiring one authentication and/or validation of a requesting endpoint.</SD OAB>

Title: Applicator for and method of applying a sheet material to a substrate
Inventor: STEINHARDT MARK JOHN
IPC: B65H37/00
Filed: 2004-06-07
Abstract: A method and device for applying sheet material, such as wallpaper, to a substrate. The applicator (10) is bi-positionable, having a first position where the sheet material is spaced apart from the substrate and a second position where the sheet material contact the substrate.

Title: Methods of and laser systems for link processing using laser pulses with specially tailored power profiles
Inventor: HARRIS RICHARD S
IPC: B23K26/38
Filed: 2004-08-18
Abstract: A laser pulse with a specially tailored temporal power profile, instead of a conventional temporal shape or substantially square shape, severs an IC link.  The specially tailored laser pulse preferably has either an overshoot at the beginning of the laser pulse or a spike peak within the duration of the laser pulse. The timing of the spike peak is preferably set ahead of the time when the link is mostly removed. A specially tailored laser pulse power profile allows the use of a wider laser pulse energy range and shorter laser wavelengths, such as the green and UV, to sever the links without appreciable damage to the substrate and passivation structure material located on either side of and underlying the links.

Abstract: A blade for grading a shoulder of a road is pivotally mounted on an underbody grader blade which is advanced over the road by a vehicle. The grader blade is conventionally angled, for example, at about -30°, to a line perpendicular to the direction of travel so that material is forced by the grader blade toward the shoulder on one side of the road. The shoulder grading blade is mounted at a downward and forward angle relative to the grader blade so that the shoulder grading blade scrapes material from the shoulder onto the road and into the path of the grader blade. The grader blade then directs the material through the space between the grader blade and the shoulder blade to the shoulder and levels the material on the shoulder.

Title: Step air foil
Inventor: ROCHELEAU MICHAEL O
IPC: F26B13/00
Filed: 2005-02-23
Abstract: Step air foil particularly for one-sided flotation of a running web, and web dryer incorporating the same. The air foil includes two discharge slots which allow for increased draw down force, which flattens machine direction wrinkles in a floating web. The air foil includes a primary discharge slot and a second discharge slot spaced from and stepped down from the primary discharge slot, a first web support surface between the primary discharge slot and the secondary discharge slot, and a second web support surface downstream of the secondary discharge slot in the direction of web travel. The air foil is in communication with an air supply which provides a supply of air that is uniformly distributed to the primary and secondary slots. Air discharged from the primary slot is gathered into the air stream of the secondary slot and creates an increased air cushion to provide greater support to the moving web and thereby remove machine direction web wrinkles caused by higher tension in light weight webs.
