Patent CA-2303548-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HARVILL YOUNG
IPC: G06T13/40
Filed: 2000-03-30
Abstract: Système et méthode d'animation tridimensionnelle de personnages offrant un téléchargement rapide du personnage animé puisque les données rémanentes du personnage animé peuvent être téléchargées au départ pour commencer l'animation. Un ou plusieurs fichiers de comportement peuvent ensuite être téléchargés le cas échéant, ce qui réduit le temps initial de téléchargement du personnage. Le système peut stocker les données rémanentes dans un cache de personnage. Pour réduire la taille des fichiers de comportement, les données rémanentes peuvent comprendre des morphlinks, pour chaque polygone sur le personnage, qui déterminent les contributions que le mouvement de chaque articulation du personnage apportent sur chaque polygone du personnage.

Title: Culot d'ampoule electrique
Inventor: MARSHALL FORREST A
IPC: H01R33/22
Filed: 1998-11-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne un culot d'ampoule électroconducteur amélioré destiné à être utilisé avec des douilles d'ampoule filetées d'usage courant. L'amélioration consiste en une réduction sensible de la quantité requise du filetage, grâce à l'utilisation d'un filetage plus court dont la taille et/ou le rayon augmentent. Ce type de filetage remplace le filetage courant permettant de fixer l'ampoule dans la douille. Eventuellement, des parties courtes de filetage peuvent être disposées sur un côté de la paroi d'un culot généralement cylindrique et lisse. L'avantage particulier réside dans le fait que l'ampoule qui est fixée à la main peut être fixée ou enlevée avec un nombre réduit de rotations de poignet.

Title: Drill rod coupling
Inventor: QUADFLIEG ERICH
IPC: F16L15/04
Filed: 1999-05-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a drill rod coupling comprising a pivot element which presents a cone-shaped outer threaded section between an outer shoulder and a pivot face, and an unthreaded section between the outer shoulder and the outer threaded section and between the outer threaded section and the pivot face. The coupling further comprises a sleeve element which can be screwed onto the pivot element and presents a cone-shaped inner threaded section between an inner shoulder and a sleeve face and an unthreaded section between the inner shoulder and the inner threaded section and between the inner threaded section and the sleeve face.  The length of the unthreaded sections of the pivot element and sleeve element, which are situated opposite each other when the two elements are screwed together, in the area of the inner shoulder is different from the length of the unthreaded sections of the pivot element and sleeve element in the area of the outer shoulder. The inner shoulder (3, 10) is the primary shoulder and, after the drill rod coupling has been assembled and screwed together to 90 % of its yield resistance, the pivot face (10) tightens against the inner shoulder (3, 10) with a pressure exceeding any pressure exerted by the sleeve face (4) on the outer shoulder (9). The sleeve face (4) tightens primarily against the outer shoulder (9) when an additional torque is exerted during drilling and the unthreaded sections (7, 13) situated in the area of the inner shoulder (3, 10) are at least twice as long as the unthreaded sections (6, 12) in the area of the outer shoulder (9).

Patent CA-2339120-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAWES PETER
IPC: F16B31/02
Filed: 1999-08-04
Abstract: A tool for breaking a shaft comprises two aligned tubular elements (20, 22), each having an end portion for receiving a contiguous length of the same shaft (2). Means are provided for locking each end portion against rotation relative to the shaft length received therein, and the elements are adapted for rotation relative to one another with the end portions so locked, to relatively twist the shaft lengths and shear the lengths at the interface between them. The element end portions will normally have juxtaposed faces, and it is preferred that the faces are moved towards each other during the relative rotation and as the shaft lengths are twisted relative to each other.  This assists in achieving a substantially planar face at the fracture plane. A  compressible washer may be disposed between the juxtaposed faces. This can stabilise the moving parts as the shaft is broken, although normally screw threads on the tubular elements will effect the movement of the element towards each other, and this in itself may provide sufficient stability.
