Patent CA-2333054-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHIMMICK JOHN K
IPC: A61B18/20
Filed: 1999-06-23
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une amélioration de l'alignement entre l'oeil (E) et un faisceau laser (14) d'un système de chirurgie ophtalmologique par laser (10) mettant en oeuvre un système de fixation visuelle (38), lequel système de fixation (38) comporte souvent un train optique réglable (58). Le train optique (58) du système de fixation (38) fait qu'un oeil (E) affecté d'un défaut de réfraction caractérisé vient se focaliser avec précision sur la mire de fixation (60). Pour prendre en compte ce défaut de réfraction, le train optique réglable (58) projette systématiquement une image de la mire de façon que l'image projetée se trouve focalisée en avant ou en arrière du plan de l'oeil du patient (E). L'invention se rapporte également au calcul de la distance de projection convenant à la prise en compte de du défaut de réfraction de l'oeil (E). Ce calcul s'appuie en partie au moins sur la formule du verre correcteur de l'oeil considéré (E).

Inventor: VON HAAS GERNOT
IPC: B27N3/18
Filed: 2001-02-06
Abstract: The invention refers to a process and a facility for carrying out the process for manufacturing derived timber product board as an endless string of boards using a continuously operating press that comprises two flexible endless steel belts that pick up the material to be pressed between each other and feed it through the press, and whereby the steel belts are guided by driving drums and idler drums to circulate around a press table and a press rammer, whereby the steel belts are supported by the press table and the press rammer against the heated pressure plates (possibly by means friction-reducing elements), as well as a subsequent cooling device. The invention consists of the cooling device as a dual-belt clamping device with a maximum clamping pressure of 0 to 0.05 N/mm2 and, arranged directly behind the continuously operating press and in front of the cooling device, a diagonal cutting device for dividing the string of boards into individual boards, and multiple rows of coolant spray nozzles on the reverse faces of the clamping belts that provide contact on the individual boards.

Patent CA-2341292-A1 (CA)
Title: Scalloped lattice bar nuclear steam generator tube supports
Inventor: SCHNEIDER WILLIAM G
IPC: F28F9/013
Filed: 2001-03-16
Abstract: A lattice high bar for a nuclear steam generator tube support bar array has scalloped indentations along its length. The scalloped indentations are located at points on the high bar where water tubes will contact the high bar. The indentations extend from one edge of the high bar to about two-thirds of the distance across the bar. When the high bars are used in a lattice bar array, only the unscalloped portion of the high bar contacts an adjacent supported tube, thereby reducing the contact area and the likelihood of corrosion and cracking and also reducing the length over which inspection is impeded. Additionally, the flow path created by opposed but overlapping scallops at the 120° intersections at certain points along the high bars improves the flow sweeping over the surface of the supported tube.

Title: Instrument for high throughput measurement of material physical properties and method of using same
Inventor: CARLSON ERIC
IPC: G01N3/32
Filed: 2001-04-18
Abstract: An apparatus and method for screening combinatorial libraries of materials by measuring the response of individual library members to mechanical perturbations is described. The apparatus generally includes a sample holder for containing the library members, an array of probes for mechanically perturbing individual library members, and an array of sensors for measuring the response of each of the library members to the mechanical perturbations. Library members undergoing screening make up a sample array, and individual library members constitute elements of the sample array that are confined to specific locations on the sample holder. During screening, the apparatus mechanically perturbs individual library members by displacing the sample array (sample holder) and the array of probes. Typically, all of the elements of the sample array are perturbed simultaneously, but the apparatus also can also perturb individual or groups of sample array elements sequentially. The flexible apparatus and method can screen libraries of materials based on, many different bulk physical properties, including Young's modulus (flexure, uniaxial extension, biaxial compression, and shear); hardness (indentation), failure (stress and strain at failure, toughness), adhesion (tack, loop tack), and flow (viscosity, melt flow indexing, and rheology), among others.

Title: Vehicle with fuel cell system configured to effectively utilize generated heat
Inventor: MIZUNO YUTAKA
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2001-05-16
Abstract: A fuel cell system for powering a vehicle effectively utilizes heat generated by various components of the system. A fuel cell produces electrical power by combining hydrogen and oxygen to form a water by-product. The electrical power is used to charge a battery, which in turn, is used to power an electric motor controlled by a motor driver. The battery, the motor, and the motor driver generate heat, which is captured by water brought in thermal contact with these heat-generating components. The heat-generating components can be immersed in water tanks or surrounded by warder jackets to effect the heat transfer to the water. The battery is used to power the motor and generate heat before the fuel cell begins operating. Water heated by the battery, motor, and/or motor driver is providedl to the fuel cell in order to bring the fuel cell up to operating temperature.

IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2000-11-17
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for facilitating the sale and distribution of handmade rugs. High resolution images are obtained of rugs (31) in the inventories of many rug merchants. The rugs are classified based on their age, size, color, design, layout, pattern, the type of pile and foundation materials, the knot, their overall design, and where they were made. Then the images and attribute data are stored in a database (33). The database may be searched based on the attributes. Alternatively, searches may be performed graphically. The value of a given rug is determined from the sales price of similar rugs that have been sold in the past and the asking price of similar rugs that are currently for sale.

Title: System for managing a large number of reusable and returnable containers and code especially useful for this purpose
Inventor: WEHREN FRIEDRICH
IPC: G06K19/00
Filed: 2000-01-31
Abstract: The invention relates to a system for managing a large number of reusable and returnable containers. Each container is labeled with a code in an identifiable manner. The returnable containers are used in several separate local substations (20, 21, 22) in a number of cycles and in every cycle the code is read out. The data that is collected in the local substations (20, 21, 22) is memorized in a master station (10) allocating it to the read-out code and is evaluated in order to determine the number of cycles of every returnable container. On the basis of the data memorized in the master station (10) the age and the number of uses of every returnable container can be determined. Once the container reaches a certain age or a certain number of cycles, a signal is sent to the local substations (20, 21, 22) to the effect that the respective returnable container is not to be reused.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un transformateur de lumière polarisée linéairement en lumière polarisée elliptiquement. Ce procédé consiste à tordre une fibre biréfringente selon des angles dépendant de la polarisation finale souhaitée, cette technique évitant notamment d'avoir à raccorder des fibres, comme c'est habituellement le cas. On peut par ailleurs effectuer un réglage fin de la polarisation en chauffant la fibre, ce qui amène le coeur de cette fibre à se diffuser dans la gaine de celle-ci. Cette invention concerne également un capteur de courant qui utilise le transformateur de lumière polarisée susmentionné en s'appuyant sur l'effet Faraday qui se produit dans un interféromètre de Sagnac.
