Patent CA-2345485-A1 (CA)
Inventor: XIE YONGLIN
IPC: B41J2/05
Filed: 2001-04-27
Abstract: The present system counteracts the distorting effect of a bi-directional print head by reducing the visual effect of a satellite drop displacement when the print head is traveling in a direction that increases the satellite displacement from a main drop. The system can also counteract the distorting effect of the bi-directional print head by increasing the visual effect of a satellite drop misplacement when the print head is traveling in a direction that decreases the satellite misplacement from the main drop.   The satellite drop displacement can be adjusted by correcting a measured ink temperature, and thereby, an amount of pre-pulsing prior to ejection of the ink.

Title: Windrow grouper with pivotable platform
Inventor: FAIVRE DAMIEN
IPC: A01D57/20
Filed: 2001-05-14
Abstract: A pull-type mower-conditioner has a windrow grouper mounted to its main frame by a mounting frame that is swingable between lowered working and raised non-working positions. The grouper includes a conveying arrangement defined in part by a belt conveyor mounted to the mounting frame for free pivotal movement, between angularly spaced stops, about a transverse horizontal axis. When the mounting frame is in its working position, the crop-receiving surface of the conveyor is inclined at a slight angle downward toward the rear of the mower-conditioner with gravity holding the conveyor in position against one of the stops. When the mounting frame is in its non-working position, gravity holds the conveyor in a position rotated against the other of the stops, the crop-receiving surface then being almost vertical so that the grouper is almost within the length of the mower-conditioner.

IPC: B05D7/24
Filed: 2002-03-14
Abstract: A coating formulation for application to surfaces associated with combustion, such as fuel injectors, and surfaces subjected to elevated temperatures, such as fuel supply components, to prevent the deposition at high temperatures of carbon or graphite on such surfaces, such as stainless steel and alloyed steel compositions. The coating formulation forms a thin layer of polymer coating on the surface by chemical grafting involving the use of a graft initiator to create active bonding sites, on the metal surface, for the silicone-based prepolymer to undergo polymerization on the metal surface. The bonding and polymerization are completed in a single application process without using complex equipment. The coating and process helps surfaces associated with combustion and surfaces subjected to elevated temperature reduce carbon or coke formation at temperatures up to 700 °F and thereby improves the durability and performance of those surfaces.
