Patent CA-2766129-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOURDON GERARD
IPC: A01B1/16

Abstract: A manually operable weed detacher consisting of 24 blades attached to body of the weed skimmer õ What removes the weeds are the fine wedge like =V=shape edges between the blades.  My skimmer can be control by the person using a rake like tool ,you use it in the same manner. The skimmer slides over the lawn in a horizontal manner. When the weeds are trapped between the blades and a downward pressure is applied pulling the skimmer toward yourself you detach the weeds at the base= when pushing the skimmer away from yourself in a downward motion it releases the weeds . Then when you pull back it picks up the weeds filling the cavity of the=V= shaped body of the skimmer then can be easily discarded . To discard the weeds you can wipe the weeds of with a gloved hand into a container .  That is why I call it the wonder weed skimmer , it skims over the lawn trapping the weeds between the blades and extracting them without cutting the grass.  Using the skimmer is easy a 10 year old or senior would have no problem.     My tool is made up of twenty-four 'teeth-like' blades, no sharp knife-like edges, and fine V shaped edges between the blades. My skimmer can be controlled much like a rake but it is not a rake as my blade-like tool skims over the lawn. That is why I call it the wonder weed skimmer it skims over the lawn trapping the weeds in the V shaped edges between the blades. Doing so removed the weeds without harming the grass. The edges of the blades are not knife sharp that is why it does not harm the grass. The weight of the tool is only 1 1/2 lbs, so a young person or senior like myself can easily use it.  Again to use my skimmer is almost like a raking motion. There is less work it skims on the lawn and extract the weeds. My skimmer is also capable of picking up all the weed cuttings you don't have tend down and when you want to discarded them its very simple you just slide them off with a glove hand into a garbage can. My skimmer also picks up pine cones and pine needles with simple ease. The reason I call it "The Wonder Weed Skimmer"  is because I still wonder what else it could remove. My skimmer seems to revitalize the lawn when I removed several weeds on a 10x10 square foot section. Three weeks later only approximately 20% came back. So if someone would do a couple of hours, you could control the weeds for a month. Better than spending hour's everyday pulling dandelions and daisies that will only come back. Instead of chemicals that burns your grass, skim them it's much quicker and safer for you, your children, and your pets.

Title: Method and apparatus for weighing sliced food products
Inventor: MCLAUGHLIN PAUL
IPC: B26D7/30
Filed: 2010-10-26
Abstract: A method for weighing sliced products to generate product batches of a pre- determined weight. A slicer slices products which are disposed onto a slice scale located beneath the output end of the slicer. An intermediate weight is measured at a pre-determined point in the slicing process. The intermediate weight information is used to calculate the minimum number of completion slices, based on thicknesses of the slices, needed to meet the target weight. The competed draft is transferred to a check sale where a final draft weight is measured and compared to a sum of the intermediate weight and the weight of the completion slices. Comparison of the weight is used to adjust slicing parameters for more precise targeting of the desired weight of the next draft. Completion slices may be adjusted in thickness to minimize the giveaway weight.

Abstract: A heater and a method of its use are configured for use at cold operating temperatures. The heater has a supply line for transporting a volume of fuel between a fuel tank and burner. An inline heater is supplied in a supply line for the burner, and preferably is located upstream of a fuel filter for filtering the fuel so as to prevent wax condensation in the filter. The heater also has a return line that normally returns unused fuel from the burner to the heater, hence reducing the volume of fuel that needs to be heated by the heater and reducing system power requirements. The heater may be thermostatically controlled to maintain the temperature of the heated fuel to a value that is at or above a temperature required for good fuel atomization but below a flashpoint of the fuel. A valve is provided in the return line to permit diversion of the returned fuel to the fuel tank during a purge operation at initial startup.
