Patent CA-2272819-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and arrangement for controlling conveyance and processing of piece goods
Inventor: MAEDER KARL CONRAD
IPC: G05B19/418
Filed: 1999-05-26
Abstract: A system for conveyance and processing of large numbers of similar objects comprises a large number of holding means being movable along a closed loop conveying path . The system comprises stations in which actions directed to objects or holding means are triggered. A plurality of the holding means are equipped as signalling holding means such that between each two successive signalling holding means, there is a different number of non- signalling holding means. The stations comprise sensory means for detecting signalling holding means, a counter and a memory for storing the counter reading. The memory contents store the current counter reading and the counter is reset to zero upon detection of a signalling holding means. The counter counts time cycles generated by clocking means or holding means detected by corresponding detection means. The memory content and the counter reading together identify a specific holding means being conveyed through a station.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system, process and apparatus for separating biosorbent and sorbate. Biomass enclosed within a membrane system is coupled to an electrode, which is capable of being placed in contact with the sorbate containing material in the presence of a counter electrode. An electric field may be discharged across the electrodes and ionic species will migrate into the membrane enclosed system. The migrated species within the membrane can be taken up and processed by the biosorbtive processes of the biomass. The system may be used to remove dye stuffs, metal, heavy metals, radionuclides and other pollutants from natural and artificial sources.

Filed: 1999-09-23
Abstract: A telescoping/collapsible baton is carried on the dutybelts of Police Officers and Security Officials in a scabbard or holster that rides vertically on the Officer's hips or further rearward towards the spine. In this invention a metal band is fitted snugly around the dutybelt and is worn at the front of the dutybelt near the belt buckle on the Officer's non-dominant side. Formed into the front or face of the metal band is a raised channel which travels from the top to bottom of the belt at a 45 degree angle downward away from the beltbuckle. The baton scabbard is to be unclipped from the belt and clipped through this raised channel resulting in the holstered collapsible baton being carried at the front of the Officer's body at a 45 degree angle, with the handle riding slightly to the side of and above the belt buckle. When required the baton can be rapidly withdrawn in a crossdraw fashion.

Patent CA-2290562-A1 (CA)
Title: Device for transmitting high-frequency signals
Inventor: BRAND UWE
IPC: H01P3/08
Filed: 1998-05-06
Abstract: In the prior art, the transmission of high-frequency signals over data lines which are fixed on conventional printed boards entails the problem that the different materials used there condition different signal transit times. The reason for this is that the data lines are led parallel to the optical fiber bundles which form the printed board. According to the invention, care is taken that the data lines are led at a specific angle to the optical fiber bundles.

Inventor: VANDERLINDEN ROGER P
IPC: E01H1/08
Filed: 2000-02-22
Abstract: A debris suctioning and separating apparatus for use in a surface cleaning vehicle having a recirculating type debris suctioning system, including a debris suction head, a debris receiving and retaining hopper, and a main fan, comprises a debris separator mounted on the surface cleaning vehicle and having an air inlet for receiving debris-laden air into the debris separator, an air outlet for exhausting separated air from the debris separator, and a debris release outlet for selectively releasing separated debris from the debris separator. The air inlet of the debris separator is connected in fluid communication with the debris receiving and retaining hopper and the air outlet of the debris separator is connected in fluid communication with the main fan, to thereby draw debris-laden air, through the hopper, through the air inlet, and into the debris separator, and to exhaust separated air from the debris separator to the main fan. A valve is operatively mounted on the debris separator at the debris release outlet, to effect the controlled flow-restricted release from the debris separator of the separated and captured debris into a debris receptacle, and to preclude the ingress of air and debris into the debris separator through the debris release outlet. Debris is separated from the debris-laden air drawn through the air inlet and into the debris separator, during the operation of the recirculating type debris suctioning system.

Patent CA-2304219-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GRYSKIEWICZ STANLEY MICHAEL
IPC: A61L15/60
Filed: 1998-10-08
Abstract: Un article absorbant caractéristique comporte une partie centrale absorbante à couches absorbantes multiples, les couches absorbantes interagissant de manière à transférer de préférence le liquide absorbé dans une couche d'imbibition haute saturation désignée. Le fait que le liquide se trouve dans cette couche d'imbibition permet d'accroître le potentiel de cette couche à déplacer le liquide par capillarité en raison du taux de saturation élevé et d'une quantité croissante de liquide disponible. On maintient ou on améliore la capacité d'absorption du système absorbant par rapport à des systèmes actuels en maintenant des taux de saturation faibles dans une deuxième couche du système absorbant lors de salissures aussi fréquentes que possible, tout en assurant des performances d'absorption optimales par un ajustement approprié des propriétés du composite. Le faible taux de saturation de cette couche permet d'assurer un volume de vide pour les salissures entrantes ainsi qu'une grande perméabilité, ce qui permet d'accroître le taux d'absorption du système absorbant dans son ensemble; mais la structure de la couche à faible taux de saturation est aussi équilibrée en vue de conférer un taux suffisamment élevé de tension capillaire pour obtenir assez de rétention de liquide afin d'empêcher des fuites. Cette couche à faible taux de saturation est utilisée de façon complémentaire avec une matière de protection, et fournit une fonctionnalité d'absorption complémentaire à celle de la matière de protection. Dans des aspects particuliers de l'invention, la couche de la partie centrale absorbante qui est dirigée vers le corps ne s'étend pas sur toute la surface de l'ensemble de la partie centrale absorbante, et n'est par conséquent pas utilisée comme couche d'imbibition haute saturation, mais comme couche d'absorption. Cette disposition permet également à la couche d'absorption d'être en contact direct avec le liquide entrant, ce qui permet un accès plus immédiat et une fonction d'absorption accrue. Dans des aspects complémentaires, au moins une zone de couche primaire peut comporter une répartition non uniforme de masses surfaciques zonée de manière sélective. Des configurations particulières de la zone de couche primaire peuvent être formées, dans lesquelles une zone cible de cette zone de couche primaire comporte une masse surfacique inférieure à celle d'une autre partie non-cible de la zone de couche primaire. De plus, au moins une zone de la couche primaire peut présenter une structure hétérogène. Dans des formes particulières, la zone de couche primaire peut comporter deux ou davantage de sous-couches.
