Title: Cleats for footwear
Inventor: BELL MICHAEL
IPC: A43C15/16
Filed: 1999-02-01
Granted: 2007-08-21
Abstract: A cleat for use in a resilient flexible ground engaging portion of an article of footwear or an attachment for an article of footwear to provide resistance to slippage. The web of resilient material has an inner side and an outer side, and an aperture extending therethrough for receiving portions of the cleat assembly. The cleat assembly includes a base member, a projection member, and an optional cover member. The base member is an annular ring having a central opening and is arranged to be located within the opening in the web of resilient material. The projection member has a hub having an outer surface, from which a spike projects, and a flange projecting radially outward from the hub. The flange includes a peripheral bead. The projection member of the cleat assembly includes plural posts and the base member of that assembly includes plural lugs defining plural recesses therebetween. The hub includes plural longitudinally extending, spring fingers, each having an undercut free end which is arranged to be extended through the aperture in the web of resilient material and through the central opening in the base member to snap-connect to a respective portion of the base member. This action tightly holds portions of the web of resilient material contiguous with the aperture between the annular bead on flange and the base member and with the posts and the recess cooperating for intimately engaging the resilient material of the web to prevent displacement or loosening of the cleat assembly from the web of resilient material. The cap is arranged to be releasably snap connected to the projection member to cover the spike, when desired.

Patent CA-2266877-C (CA)

Granted: 2005-08-09
Abstract: For correcting the position of a track, the track (3) is tamped into a preliminary target position and subsequently, in the course of a track stabilization, is ultimately lowered in a controlled way into a final target position by applying a static load in connection with transverse vibrations.  The preliminary target position created by tamping the track (3) is measured, and a final target position eliminating long-wave track position faults is computed. While determining correction values (35) representing the difference between the final target position (34) and the preliminary target position (31), the static load and/or transverse forces acting on the track (3) are changed according to the correction values in the course of a track stabilization in order to achieve the final target position of the track (3). Thus it is possible to eliminate in particular long-wave faults in the course of the stabilization of the track.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la production d'un clinker à partir d'une matière brute, sous forme pulvérulente à grain fin, à l'aide d'un préchauffeur à cyclone, d'un système de précalcination, d'un four et d'un dispositif de refroidissement. Pour que les poussières fines séparées par filtration des gaz brûlés du préchauffeur puissent être également préchauffées, précalcinées puis brûlées de manière appropriées pour former du clinker dans un four, on prélève une petite quantité de matière directement à la sortie du premier palier du préchauffeur. Cette faible quantité de matière est ensuite amenée, avec la totalité des poussières fines provenant du filtre à l'extrémité supérieure du système de précalcination. Ce mélange traverse ensuite le système de précalcination de bas en haut, et est guidé avec l'air en vue de sa combustion. Avec l'arrivée du combustible, il est ensuite précalciné avant d'être introduit dans l'entrée du four.
