Patent CA-2263616-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LYEN ERIC A
IPC: B41M7/00
Filed: 1999-03-01
Abstract: A sheet material, such as a bank note, having tactile indicia therein, the tactility of which is resistant to deterioration and useful for assisting persons with impaired vision to identify one or more predetermined characteristics of the sheet material such as a bank note. The sheet material has therein at least one embossment forming the indicia and comprises a first surface and a second surface, with one of the surfaces defining a cavity in the area of the embossment. A layer of reinforcing material is provided to at least the area of that surface which comprises the cavity. Once the reinforcing material is dried and/or cured the embossment (indicia) is strengthened by the layer of reinforcing material and thereby rendered more durable when the bank note is subjected to the wear of circulation. The reinforcing material may be selected from the group consisting of varnishes, inks, adhesives and caulking compounds.

Patent CA-2278830-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KUO WEN-YI
IPC: H04B7/04
Filed: 1999-07-23
Abstract: The present invention is a method for performing handoffs in wireless communications systems having extended range concentric cell base station, wherein the concentric cell base station has a micro cell and a macro cell that incorporates multiple timing protocols to extend the base station's access range. In one embodiment, the base station determines whether a handoff is to be performed using absolute path delay information, which will indicate the current and previous positions of a mobile-telephone. If the absolute path delay information indicates that the mobile-telephone is moving between the macro cell and the micro cell, or to a cell associated with another base station, the current base station will instruct the mobile-telephone to perform a handoff to the frequency band associated with the micro cell, macro cell or base station to which the mobile-telephone is traveling towards.

Title: Method to customize a saddle on a horse and apparatuses thereof
Inventor: ROSKIES GREG
IPC: G01L1/06
Filed: 1999-09-13
Abstract: A method to customize a saddle to a given horse and apparatuses thereof. The method comprises a step of inserting under a saddle disposed on the horse's back, a cushion pad previously shaped to uniformly distribute the pressure of the saddle on the horse. The method may further comprise a step of shaping the cushion pad by disposing on the horse's back a sensing pad which contains a non-hardening clayish modeling material to imprint the relief pattern of the pressure distribution of a saddle disposed on the horse's back. This is followed by setting the saddle on the sensing pad, by riding the horse to imprint a relief pattern of the pressure distribution of the saddle on the sensing pad, and by shaping the cushion pad by reproducing the relief pattern of the sensing pad. Further, the invention proposes a saddle pad provided with pockets to receive a cushion pad as described above.
Patent CA-2282495-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MIN YONG KI
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 1997-03-05
Abstract: The thin film AMA has a substrate, an actuator, a common line, and a reflecting member (180). The substrate has an electrical wiring and a connecting terminal and the actuator has a supporting layer (130), a bottom electrode (135), a top electrode (145), and an active layer (140). The common line (150) is formed on a portion of actuator and is connected to top electrode (145). The electrical wiring and connecting terminal may not be damaged because the actuator is formed on a portion of substrate adjacent to the portion where electrical wiring and connecting terminal are formed. The voltage drop of a second signal can be minimized because common line (150) is formed thickly on a portion of the actuator, so a sufficient second signal is applied to the top electrode (145). The flatness of the reflecting member (180) may be enhanced because the reflecting member (180) is formed on a second sacrificial layer.

Title: Bypass air volume control device for combustor used in gas turbine
Inventor: ICHIRYU TAKU
IPC: F23R3/00
Filed: 1998-01-26
Abstract: It pertains to a combustion engine for a gas turbine which has, in a space within the casing pressurized by compressed air fed into it from a compressor, a number of combustors consisting of combustion chambers and tail pipes connected to them. The invention applies to a air bypass control device which can bypass a portion of the compressed air in the space within the casing into the tail pipe connected to a combustion chamber via a control valve and a bypass channel. The invention is distinguished in the following ways. It includes a valve mechanism including a flat sliding ring, and a valve operating mechanism. The valve mechanism intersects a number of bypass air channels each of which is connected to a pipe located in the space inside the casing. The bypass air channels are located at a circular position in the casing. A number of openings are arranged in the flat sliding ring of the valve mechanism corresponding to the number of bypass air channels for bypassing the air to the bypass air channels. The valve operating mechanism for the valve, one end of which is connected to the flat sliding ring, causes the flat sliding ring to rotate back and forth in the circumferential direction.      When the valve operating mechanism rotates the flat sliding ring through a certain angle, the openings in the flat sliding ring rotate so as to coincide with or move away from the openings of the bypass channels. In this way it is possible to control the area of the openings of the bypass channels. The control valve mechanism is made up of a flat sliding ring with a number of openings which corresponds to the number of bypass channels, and a ring supporting base which supports the flat sliding ring in such a way that the flat sliding ring can slide freely in the circumferential direction. One side of the openings of the flat sliding ring opens into the space in the casing, and the other side of the openings opens into the opening of the bypass channel when it is rotated. A portion of the compressed air from the pressured air space in the casing can be conducted through the ring openings into the openings of the bypass channels.

IPC: C10M163/00
Filed: 1999-02-25
Abstract: Viscosity increase or drift occurs in overbased detergents over time and particularly at elevated temperatures. Viscosity drift is now controlled by the addition of additive amounts of a compound having an oleophilic group and further having secondary hydroxyl functionality. Additions of this control agent in amounts of 0.1 to 5.0 % and preferably 0.25 to 1.0 %, by weight effected minimal viscosity drift of no more than about 10 % in detergents stored for about 4 weeks at elevated temperatures of about 37 °C to 82 °C. The degree of viscosity drift control is proportional to the amount of control agent added to the overbased detergent. Preferred viscosity drift control agents are alkylated phenols such as dinonyl phenol, vegetable oils such as canola oil and jojoba oil, and carboxylic acids such as 12-hydroxy stearic acid. The viscosity drift control agent is particularly effective for highly overbased calcium sulfonates.
