Patent CA-2334019-A1 (CA)
Title: Animal restraining halter
Inventor: CURRAN ROBERT EDWARD
IPC: A01K27/00
Filed: 1999-06-02
Abstract: A halter (120) for controlling an animal, such as a dog, is provided having an anchor portion (146) secured across the front of the dog's head terminating at a pair of anchor points on the opposite sides of the animals neck, and nape portion (128) extending across the back of the animal's neck slidably received within the anchor portion (146).  The anchor portion (146) is typically placed over the snout of the dog in order to keep the halter away from sensitive tissues of the throat. When a leash connected to the nape portion is pulled, the segment (156) of the nape portion between the anchors (132, 138) gushes against the nape of the animal's neck thus stimulating a "righting" reflex and causing the animal to stop. Further control over the animal is gained by downward pressure applied to the top of the snout, stimulating a submissive behavioural response in the animal.

Title: Procede de production de suspensions de cristaux germes a base de graisse fondue
Inventor: WINDHAB ERICH
IPC: A23G1/30
Filed: 1999-05-29
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de production de suspensions de cristaux germes à base de graisse fondue, en particulier de production de suspensions de cristaux de beurre de cacao microdispersés présentant une proportion de modification .beta.¿VI? élevée. L'invention concerne également l'utilisation desdites suspensions dans la cristallisation par germes de suspensions à base de graisse qui contiennent des particules solides dispersées, telles que des chocolats et des matières semblables au chocolat ou analogues, pour lesquelles la masse en fusion est soumise à une germination à l'aide de la suspension de cristaux germes. Le procédé selon l'invention permet d'obtenir un dosage amélioré, si l'on compare avec des procédés de germination faisant appel à des poudres de cristaux, étant donné que le dosage des fluides est plus facile. En outre, grâce au traitement mécanothermique selon l'invention du flux de matière par cisaillement/dilatation de la suspension de cristaux germes, on peut obtenir des germes cristaux nettement plus petits que ceux obtenus avec les procédés de cristallisation par germes classiques faisant appel à des poudres, et, ainsi, un mélange micro-homogène amélioré et une efficacité de germination plus élevée, une proportion de germes cristaux plus réduite pour l'obtention d'une précristallisation optimale, et également une proportion accrue de la modification cristalline .beta.¿VI? d'une stabilité maximale.

Title: System for pressure testing tubing
Inventor: PATEL DINESH R
IPC: E21B47/06
Filed: 2002-03-01
Abstract: The present invention relates to a valve system that may be used to pressure test tubing, such as a tubing string deployed in a wellbore for the production of fluids.      The tubing string is suspended within a wellbore and includes a valve system having a valve that enables flow of fluid into a hollow interior of the tubing string during downward movement of the tubing string into the well.      However, the valve is moved to a closed position at selected locations within the wellbore to enable pressurization within the tubing during pressure testing. Once the pressure testing is completed and the tubing string is deployed within the wellbore, the valve can be retained in an open position to enable flow within the tubing string.
