Patent CA-2550444-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRILEY ROBERT E
IPC: C09D5/08
Filed: 2004-11-18
Abstract: A previously heat treated aluminum alloy rivet is sand blasted with aluminum oxide, washed with a corrosion resistant solution, dried, and then a coating is applied to the rivet. The coating includes solvent, resin, plasticizer and a corrosion inhibitor. The coating is cured at an elevated temperature below 300~F, preferably in the order of 250~F for about an hour, or between one-half and one and one-half hours. The resultant rivet has a relative thick gasket-like coating about 0.0007 to about 0.001 or 0.002 inch thick, and retains its high shear strength resulting from the initial pre-coating heat treatment. As an alternative pre-treatment, the rivets may be chromic acid anodized.

Title: Hand-holdable vacuum cleaners
Inventor: ROWNTREE DAVID
IPC: A47L9/02
Filed: 2006-07-25
Abstract: There is provided a hand-holdable vacuum cleaner, comprising: an electric motor; an electrical on-off switch for operating said motor; a fan connected to an output shaft of said motor; an airflow pathway comprising an inlet for dirty air, an outlet for clean air, and a collection chamber located in fluid communication between said inlet and said outlet; means for separating out debris entrained with dirty air entering via said inlet and depositing the debris in said collection chamber;  and means for adjusting an angle of said inlet relative to a main axis of said vacuum cleaner; wherein the vacuum cleaner further comprises a rigid, elongate nose having said inlet at one end thereof, said nose being pivotable relative to said main axis through an angle of at least 135 degrees. The elongate nose can be pivoted from a first, folded position in which it is angled alongside the main axis of the vacuum cleaner, substantially parallel thereto, allowing the vacuum cleaner to be stored in a very compact overall space, to a second, extended position in which it is angled by only a small amount or not at all from the main axis of the vacuum cleaner to provide an extension thereof. Secondly, since the nose is rigid and elongate and has the dirty air inlet located at one end thereof, it may be introduced into narrow spaces without any need to be supported by a hand of a user, unlike a flexible hose extension known from prior art hand-holdable vacuum cleaners.

Title: Spinal fixation element and methods
Inventor: RUBERTE RAMON A
IPC: A61B17/88
Filed: 2005-02-10
Abstract: A spinal fixation element is provided having a feature formed thereon that facilitates placement of the spinal fixation element through an access device, thus allowing the spinal fixation element to be positioned in relation to a spinal anchor that is coupled to the access device and that is implanted in a vertebra in a patient~s spine. The feature also optionally facilitates placement of the spinal fixation element in relation to spinal anchors implanted in adjacent vertebrae. In particular, the spinal fixation element is adapted for use with an access device that has at least one slot or opening formed therein and having a width that is less than a width of the feature, thus preventing the feature from passing therethrough. The spinal fixation element can therefore be inserted through the access device, and a portion of the fixation element can be passed through the slot or opening in the access device while the feature is retained in the access device. As a result, the feature is seated within a spinal anchor that is coupled to the access device, and the remaining portion of the spinal fixation element can extend through the slot, preferably to be positioned within a spinal anchor disposed within an adjacent vertebra.

Title: Geologic models of subsurface sedimentary volumes
Inventor: DONOFRIO CHRIS J
IPC: G06T17/20
Filed: 2005-08-19
Abstract: A 3-Dseismic image is used to construct a geologic model specifying the spatially varying grain size distribution, porosity and permeability through the volume 101. The method applies to water laid elastic sedimentary deposits of earth sedentary volumes and involves modeling steps for identifying the outline forms of geologic bodies in geologic data. The outline forms of the geologic deposits and body volume form is used to determine the spatially varying grain size distribution within the sediment deposit and is guided by the modeling assumptions about the nature and behavior of the sediment paleoflow that deposited the sediment volume 109. The geologic sediment volume is based on the grain size distribution of mineralogy and sediment burial history information and is used to determine the rock properties of porosity and permeability within the geological sedimentation deposit 101.
