Patent CA-2204951-A1 (CA)
Inventor: O'DONNELL ADRIAN CHARLES
IPC: G02F1/125
Filed: 1997-05-09
Abstract: A process for the manufacture of an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) employs a single soaking step at an elevated temperature for an extended period.  A suitable dopant such as titanium is deposited on a substrate typically of lithium niobate, in three parallel strips so that following soaking, an optical waveguide is formed between regions defining the limits of the acoustic waveguide.  The thickness and linewidth of the deposited dopant which forms the optical waveguide are selected having regard to the soaking period required to form the acoustic waveguide, so that a predetermined mode geometry for the optical waveguide will be formed in substantially the same soaking period as is required to form the acoustic waveguide.

Abstract: A roasting rack has a male portion and a female portion.  In a first embodiment of the present invention, each is in the form of two parallel parts, each part having a first leg and a second leg and a bight member interconnecting the second legs of each part.  The diameter of each of the first legs of the female portion is slightly larger than the diameter of each of the first legs of the male portion.  At least the first legs of the female portion are hollow.  The first legs of the male portion are insertable into the first legs of the female portion to provide an adjustable length rack.  In use, the second legs of both the male and the female portions encounter the item to be roasted. In a second embodiment of the present invention, each of the two bight members is replaced by a handle.  In a third embodiment of the present invention, the legs of the female portion that slidably receive the legs of the male portion are replaced by rings, the rings being of greater diameter than the legs of the male portion.  In all embodiments, the pressure exerted on the item by the second legs holds the item together during roasting.

Title: Automatic roll groove alignment
Inventor: KIRKWOOD-AZMAT RUTH E
IPC: B21B37/00
Filed: 1998-02-12
Abstract: In a rolling mill, data representing the axial distance of the center of each groove of a work roll from a first reference location on the work roll is determined and stored in the memory of a data processing system. The work rolls are then mounted in the roll stand and the grooves of a selected "setup" roll pass are brought into alignment with each other. The roll stand is then placed on the rolling line, the setup pass is aligned with the mill passline in the case of vertical stands, or with the mill center line in the case of horizontal roll stands, and data representing the relative positions of the work rolls to the roll stand and of the roll stand to another reference location is obtained and stored in the memory of the data processing system. Using this data, the system then calculates and automatically effects adjustments to the roll stand and work rolls in order to precisely align other roll passes with the mill passline or center line.

Title: Rail attachment bracket with snap-on cover
Inventor: WEST RON
IPC: E04H17/14
Filed: 1998-02-18
Abstract: An attachment system for connecting a hollow rail to a support post includes an attachment bracket with a face plate for attachment to the support post, and a distally extending internal support member for nesting within the end of the rail. To enable disposition of the rail in an orientation other than orthogonal to the face plate, a portion of the internal support member is rounded to tapered, thereby providing up to forty-five degree movement from the orthogonal position. The attachment system also includes a snap-on cover which connects to the attachment, bracket to cover the attachment bracket and thereby provide a more aesthetically pleasing appearance to the attachment point between the support post and the rail.
Patent CA-2230264-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PARROT LUCIE
IPC: B65D21/08
Filed: 1998-04-14
Abstract: This invention is a container with its volume adjustable to the volume of the content therefore minimizing the contact of the content with air as well as minimizing storage space. This is very useful for food or medicine. The container is slowly collapsed by hand as the content is used. A lip on top allows to place the fingers appropriately to do so. When a full volume is required, pulling longitudinally on the top and the bottom of the container stretches it to its maximum size. It is reshaped in its fully open state after using all the content to refill it up with other contents (food or other). The side walls are made of a plastic resilient material which deforms with a pressure from top to bottom. The collapsing feature is accomplished with a series of creuses or pleats in the material. When fully opened the creuses form a wide angle, sideways. When fully closed, the creuses form a very narrow angle and lay almost flat. In between, the creuses where no content is present are collapsed; where there is content, it applies pressure against the walls of the container and prevents the creuses from collapsing. The container retains its collapsed shape because the material will stay and the airtight cap prevents any entry of undesired air to fill up the container. The bottom and lid are shaped allowing stacking.

Abstract: This invention pertains to personal watercraft and to brace assemblies for use on personal watercraft.   The brace assembly enables a rear-facing rider to be stabilized so that the rider is not uncomfortable and does not readily fall from the watercraft. Such rear-facing rider spots for a water skier being pulled by the personal watercraft.  The brace assembly includes an engagement structure, a support column supporting the engagement structure, and a  support housing supporting and containing the support column.  The support column raises the engagement structure to a first raised position and retracts into the support housing at a second lowered position.   Height adjustment apparatus controls moving the engagement structure between the raised and lowered positions.   Mounting apparatus,  including a mounting bracket, mounts the brace assembly to the personal watercraft.  Fasteners preferably mount the brace assembly to a boarding handle of the personal watercraft.  In some embodiments, the brace assembly is disposed in a space defined between the boarding handle and the seat.  In other embodiments, the support housing is mounted to the outside edge of the boarding handle.  In preferred embodiments, the brace assembly is mounted to the personal watercraft without making any holes in the personal watercraft.

Title: Heavy oil emulsified fuel evaporator system and operation method thereof
Inventor: UEDA KATSUYUKI
IPC: F23K5/08
Filed: 1998-05-21
Abstract: In a heavy oil emulsified fuel evaporator system in which a heavy oil emulsified fuel, after preheated at a preheater, is led into an evaporator to be heated and then to a separator for separation of its water content and the water content, after separated, is used as a preheating source medium for said preheater, wherein water content separation to a predetermined level is enabled irrespective of load change in a heavy oil fuel combustion equipment and no light oil content is discharged together with the separated water content. Heavy oil emulsified fuel 11a is preheated at a preheater 13, is heated at an evaporator 14 and is led into a separator 15 to be separated of its water content.  Water content, after separated, is sent via a piping 15a to be used as the preheating source medium for the preheater 13.  Inlet temperature of the evaporator 14 is controlled constant and pressure in the piping 15a for leading the preheating source medium into the preheater 13 is also controlled constant.          Further, temperature difference of outlet temperature relative to the inlet temperature of the evaporator 14 is controlled constant.  Thereby, the water content in the heavy oil fuel coming out of the separator 15 can be maintained to a predetermined value.
