Patent CA-2414546-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZHANG TONY T
IPC: F02N19/10
Filed: 2003-01-08
Abstract: An automobile warming-up apparatus includes a tank containing phase change material that can form supercooled liquid, a triggering system in the tank to induce the phase change from liquid state to solid state. The tank is in a container, which is connected with the heating/cooling system of an automobile's engine. Therefore, the coolant of the heating/cooling system can recirculate through the container. When an automobile is running, the coolant is heated in the engine and circulated through the container. The heated coolant melts the phase change material in the tank, and changes them from solid state to liquid state.      Therefore, the heat is stored in the phase change material in latent heat form. When an automobile is not running, the atmosphere cools the coolant and phase change material. As long as the time is allowed, they will have the same temperature as the atmosphere. The phase change material will form a suppercooled liquid. When an automobile is started, the triggering system induces the phase change material from liquid state to solid state. This process releases the heat stored in the phase change material. Through the coolant in the heating/cooling system, the released heat is carried to the engine and the heater core, and used to warm up the engine and the cabin of the automobiles or like.

Title: Prefabricated rail panel for use in mine shaft railway systems
Inventor: KRIEGER LARRY T
IPC: E01B23/02
Filed: 2003-09-18
Abstract: A prefabricated rail panel for use in mine shaft railways includes a pair of conventional steel rails, a number of wooden sleepers and a series of rail mounting assemblies for coupling the rails to the sleepers. The rails are characterized by an upper rail surface and an enlarged laterally extending lower flange. Within the panel, the sleepers are arranged parallel to each other and transverse to the direction of longitudinal elongation of the rails. A rail mounting assembly is used to secure each selected one of the rails to an associated sleeper. The mounting plate assembly includes a rail fastening plate formed having a metal base plate portion and a pair of anchoring flanges. The anchoring flanges extend upwardly from an upper surface of the base plate in a generally mirror arrangement and define a longitudinally extending aperture extending between the flange and the upper surface of the base plate. Anchor clips are insertable in each longitudinal aperture to secure a selected rail to the rail fastening plate. A  series of bore holes are formed through the base plate at spaced locations. Threaded fasteners are inserted through the bore holes and into threaded engagement with the sleeper, to thus secure the base plate in place. The threaded fasteners have a size selected to provide the rail panel with sufficient longitudinal stability, whereby the rails do not significantly deflect longitudinally and/or laterally relative to each other if the panel is suspended vertically as it is lowered down a mine shaft.

Abstract: A catalytic method is provided for a ring-opening cross-metathesis reaction between a cycloolefinic substrate and a second olefinic reactant, wherein th e catalyst used is a transition metal alkylidene complex substituted with an N - heterocyclic carbene ligand. The substrates are selected so that the rate of the cross-metathesis reaction of the second olefinic reactant, kCM, is great er than or equal to the rate of the ring-opening metathesis reaction, kRo. In this way, the predominant ROCM product is a monomer, dimer, and/or oligomer, but not a polymer. The invention additionally provides for selective production of an end-differentiated olefinic product, using trisubstituted cycloolefins as substrates and/or a subsequent cross-metathesis reaction following an initial ROCM step. The cycloolefinic substrates include low- strain olefins such as cyclohexene as well as higher strain olefins such as cyclooctene.

Patent CA-2446545-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MELBY GORDON M
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2002-05-07
Abstract: An autonomous vehicle collision/crossing warning system provides for simple, inexpensive and decentralized installation, operation and maintenance of a reliable vehicle collision/crossing warning system. The autonomous warning system preferably utilizes a single frequency TDM radio communication network with GPS clock synchronization, time slot arbitration and connectionless UDP  protocol to broadcast messages among vehicles and components in the warning system. Adaptive localized mapping of components of interest within the warning system eliminates the need for centralized databases or coordination and control systems and enables new vehicles and warning systems to be easily added to the system in a decentralized manner. Preferably, stationary warning systems are deployed as multiple self-powered units each equipped to receive broadcast messages and to communicate with the other units by a low power RF  channel in a redundant Master-Slave configuration. The communication schemes are preferably arranged for low duty cycle operation to decrease power consumption.
