Patent CA-2238157-A1 (CA)
Title: Cable tray packaging
Inventor: BROWN DICK
IPC: B65D71/04
Filed: 1998-05-21
Abstract: A palletized bundle of stacked elongate cable trays includes a pair of endcaps placed over each longitudinal end of the stack of cable trays. The endcaps are each cinched by a shipping strap to pallet spacer skids provided under each endcap. Each pallet spacer skid accommodates the lifting tines of a forklift. The pallet spacer skids also provide sufficient ground clearance to allow the palletized cable trays to be transversely engaged by the lifting tines of a forklift. The palletizing package may also include protective liners placed between the shipping strap and the stack of cable trays to further protect the cable trays from damage by the cinched shipping strap.
Patent CA-2238497-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VEGA JOSE LUIS
IPC: C11D1/825
Filed: 1996-11-27
Abstract: The present invention provides a more effective method of treating a spot or stain on a textile fabric, the method comprising the steps of: applying a detergent composition to the spot or stain; placing an absorbent layer adjacent to one side of the textile fabric in the region of the spot or stain;  and applying heat, pressure, or heat and pressure, to the opposing side of the textile fabric in the region of the spot or stain, preferably in the presence of a hydrophilic solvent, or water, so that some or all of the spot or stain is absorbed into the absorbent layer. The detergent composition can be applied to the textile fabric using a container having a cap to which a foam pad is secured. The cap has a small opening through which the detergent composition can pass.

Patent CA-2245347-A1 (CA)
Title: Robotic welding
Inventor: REYNOLDS JEFFREY G
IPC: B23K9/028
Filed: 1998-09-23
Abstract: A robotic welding method for making a heat exchanger having tubes and inlet and outlet headers is disclosed. The headers have planar tubesheets and covers. The planar tubesheets are welded to the inlet and outlet ends of tubes. The tubesheets have two co-linear edge portions and a third edge intersecting a line through the two co-linear edge portions. The tubesheet has interior edges defining holes through which the ends of tubes extend. A robotic welding system is provided, with a sensor, a welding apparatus and a controller for controlling the movement and operation of the welding apparatus. The tubesheet is scanned to find the first and second co-linear edge portions, the third intersecting edge portion, and the face of the tubesheet. An actual origin is defined at the intersection of a first line through the first two co-linear edge portions found through scanning and a second line perpendicular to the line through the co-linear edge portions and extending through the third intersecting edge portion found through scanning and lying on the plane of the tubesheet face. The welding apparatus is moved to weld the tubesheet and tubes together. The positions of the welds are based upon the location of the actual origin of the tubesheet relative to the robotic system. After the tubesheet has been welded to the tube ends, the cover is welded to the tubesheet. The robotic welding system uses the same coordinate system that it has defined and performs additional scans of the cover to determine two points on each of the side faces of the cover and one point and each of the cover's end faces. The welding apparatus then welds the cover to the tubesheet along the edges of the cover faces.

Abstract: Dans cette invention, un temps de déconnexion en accord avec la norme de Phase 1 GSM (Groupe spécial mobile) est réduit à l'intérieur d'un contrôleur de station de base particulier (BSC) desservant une station mobile particulière (20). En réponse à un message de déconnexion de couche 2 provenant d'une première station mobile (20) et après l'expiration du temps de déconnexion réduit, la station de base BTS serveuse (30) libère le canal logique indiqué de la première station mobile (20) et permet au contrôleur de station de base connecté (BSC) (40) d'attribuer plus efficacement le canal logique libéré (SDCCH ou TCH) à une seconde station mobile (25). Ensuite, les messages de déconnexion de couche 2 additionnels, transmis par la première station mobile (20) sont ignorés et aucun message d'accusé de réception en mode déconnexion (DM) n'est transmis sur le canal logique indiqué. Ainsi, toute collision sur le même canal logique entre la première et la seconde station mobile (20, 25) est évitée et la seconde station mobile (25) peut alors communiquer sur le canal logique attribué.
