Title: Structural connector for a drilling rig substructure
Inventor: PALIDIS ANASTASIOS
IPC: E21B15/00
Filed: 2004-04-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus for connecting sections of a drilling rig substructure (5) is disclosed. The disclosed invention is a unique structural connector in which sections of a drilling rig substructure (5) can be connected together without the use of pins or pin-type connectors. The structural connector of the present invention utilizes specially-shaped fixed members (61, 62) connected to, and extending through, support plates (60) that are attached to sections of a drilling rig substructure (5) that mate with specially-shaped mating lugs (46, 47) that are mounted on mating lug plates (43, 44) that are attached to separate sections of the drilling rig substructure (5). When the sections of the drilling rig substructure (5) to be connected are positioned together, the specially-shaped mating lugs (46, 47) engage the specially-shaped fixed members (61, 62) and form a high strength structural connection between the sections of the drilling rig substructure (5).

Patent CA-2529656-A1 (CA)
Title: Oximetry simulator
Inventor: SWEITZER ROBERT LEE
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2004-06-09
Abstract: A simulator adapter is provided to be used with a conventional oximeter for monitoring a patient who may be remotely located from the oximeter. In a first embodiment of the invention, the simulator adapter has a simulator digit that fits to the sensor of the oximeter. The simulator digit senses the light output from the oximeter and provides a feedback to the simulator adapter to enable the adapter to adapt the signal of the patient sent to the adapter for use by the oximeter, as if the patient is on-site and is being measured by the oximeter. In a second embodiment, in place of a simulator digit, the simulator adapter has as its output a connector which is adapted to mate with the conventional connector that is part of the conventional oximeter. This second embodiment eliminates the need for any simulator digit and sensor for the oximeter, as appropriate circuitries are provided in the simulator adapter to enable it to connect directly to the oximeter. In an environment where the signal from the patient may be affected electromagnetically, the simulator adapter may be connected to the remote oximetry unit by a fiber optic cable, so that the signal representing the physiological parameter remotely measured from the patient is directly sent either to the simulator digit of the first embodiment or the adapter connector of the second embodiment.

Title: Cooling system with active debris separation
Inventor: YODER ANNE LOUISE
IPC: B60K11/00
Filed: 2006-03-15
Abstract: A powered precleaner separates debris from atmospheric air through the use of a blower and a separation chamber. The chamber includes at least one inlet orifice and at least two additional orifices, including an outlet orifice and an exit orifice containing at least one heat exchanger. The blower blows air and debris along an inner surface of the separation chamber and out of the outlet orifice. The outlet orifice is sized to allow large debris to exit the chamber. Sufficient backpressure is created to cause a predetermined amount of precleaned air to flow through the exit orifice containing the heat exchanger. A screen may be added to trap larger light debris and prevent it from flowing to and plugging the heat exchanger.

Title: Process for the preparation of alpha- and beta-cryptoxanthin
Inventor: LIU YUFA
IPC: C07C403/12
Filed: 2004-10-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for converting lutein and/or lutein esters to .beta.-cryptoxanthin and .alpha.-cryptoxanthin, suitable for human consumption as dietary supplements, by employing safe and environmentally friendly reagents. In the first synthetic step, commercially available lutein and/or lutein esters are transformed into a mixture of dehydration products of lutein (anhydroluteins) in the presence of a catalytic amount of an acid. The resulting anhydroluteins are then converted to .beta.-cryptoxanthin (major product) and .alpha.-cryptoxanthin (minor product) by heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation employing transition elements of group VIII in a variety of organic solvents under atmospheric pressure of hydrogen. A novel feature of this invention is the regioselective hydrogenation of anhydroluteins while the highly conjugated polyene chain of these carotenoids remains intact.

Title: Apparatus, system and method for evaluating fluid systems
Inventor: TAGGART CHRISTOPHER THOMAS
IPC: F17D3/18
Filed: 2006-07-18
Abstract: In one aspect, the invention relates to a system for evaluating a fluid system, which includes one or more batches of magnetically-responsive particles and one or more magnetic particle-collectors. In some embodiments, the magnetically-responsive particles have a composition that includes elements that are attracted by magnetic fields, but are not themselves magnetically-attractive. Each batch of magnetically-responsive particles can be released into the fluid system at a location upstream from the magnetic particle-collectors.  The particles will follow fluid paths, experiencing effects, such as for example and without limitation, dispersion, diffusion and advection as they move through the fluid system. As particles reach the vicinity of the magnetic particle-collectors, the magnetically-responsive particles will be attracted into and held by the magnetic field and physical structure of the magnetic particle-collectors. The magnetically-responsive particles collected by each collector are then quantified and compared to the number of magnetically-responsive particles collected by other collectors, thereby providing a means for collecting information about the fluid system.

Title: Line-level path protection in the optical layer
Inventor: GERSTEL ORNAN
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2005-03-07
Abstract: Systems and methods provide very fast protection switching while leaving selected traffic unprotected. When a link fails, only certain pre-selected paths are rerouted at the point of failure. Other traffic is left unprotected or protected at another layer. Signaling of the failure and the rerouting is performed for the link as a whole rather than for the individual paths.  Signaling occurs at a first layer of a digital transmission hierarchy while path rerouting switching occurs at a second hierarchical layer above the first layer. In certain implementations, K1/K2 bytes are used in signaling at the optical line layer (OC-n), while only protected High-Order paths (STS) and Low-Order paths (VT) are protected by the protection switch.

Title: Floating disc brake assembly with interlocking hub and rotor
Inventor: JACOB WILLIAM
IPC: F16D65/12
Filed: 2005-03-24
Abstract: A floating disc brake assembly (10) comprises a hub (12) and a rotor (14) in mating alignment therewith through one or more interlocking lobes (18, 20) that are alternatingly arranged about an outer peripheral edge (E1) of the hub and an internal edge (E2) of the rotor. The rotor is coupled to, and disposed circumferentially around, the hub. As a friction element is applied to the rotor to decrease rotation thereof during a braking operation, the interlocking lobes transmit brake torque from the rotor to the hub through a gap (G) existing therebetween. The gap retards heat flow. The gap also permits radial float. Differing hub and rotor widths, or a floating clearance between a fastener and the hub, both permit axial float. Warpage and knockback of the rotor are reduced.
