Title: Method and tool for aligning piping components
Inventor: BAHRY JOSEPH M
IPC: B23K37/00
Filed: 2003-07-21
Abstract: A pipe aligning tool is provided for providing proper alignment and spacing between two piping components to be welded together in an end to end abutted relationship. The tool includes a spacer lying in a single plane for positioning between the ends of the piping components to provide the proper spacing. A pipe locator in the form of two projections, projects perpendicularly outwardly from each side of the spacer for concentric alignment of piping components on opposing sides of the spacer when abutted with the respective pipe locators. The simple construction of the tool permits two piping components to be both concentrically aligned and properly spaced for welding in a simple task which can be manually performed without depending upon visual alignment by the user.

Title: Restaurant table management system
Inventor: JOHNS NICHOLAS P
IPC: G06Q10/02
Filed: 2003-11-21
Abstract: Each table in a restaurant has a switch coupled to a wireless transmitter.  When the switch is activated, the transmitter broadcasts a vacant table signal. The vacant table signal is received by a receiver that is coupled to a computer system. The computer responds to a vacant table signal by identifying a particular table as being vacant, and therefore ready for seating of a party. The computer is programmed to represent each table in the restaurant with an icon. The computer may be programmed to present a table as being in one of three states: (1) vacant; (2) occupied; and (3) anticipated to be vacant soon. When a party is seated at a particular table, this fact is entered into the computer, and the computer presents the table as occupied.  The table is regarded as occupied until one of two events occurs. If the party leaves, the table will be bussed, and thereafter, the switch/transmitter circuit at the table will be activated. In response, the transmitter will transmit a vacant table signal, and the computer will present the table as vacant. Further, a table may be returned to a vacant state by manual command executed at the computer. Alternatively, if the occupancy duration of the table exceeds a threshold, the computer will draw the inference that it is likely that the party will soon leave. Accordingly, the computer will present the table as anticipated to be vacant soon.

Title: Quick-set, full-moment-lock, column and beam building frame system and method
Inventor: SIMMONS ROBERT J
IPC: E04B1/24
Filed: 2001-08-30
Abstract: Column-beam building frame structure (20), wherein columns (24, 26), and beams (36, 38), are interconnected to distribute and share all lateral loads through collars (30, 32, 34) that encircle columns at the nodal points (66) of attachments between columns (24, 26) and beams (36, 38). Each collar includes inner (106) and outer (108) components which seat, and gravity-lock together, during frame construction, and which also to offer a certain amount of immediate moment resistance to lateral loads. Tension bolt (74) and nut assemblies lock the inner and outer collar components together, and with these assemblies in place, the collars (which circumsurround the beams) function to deliver beam moment loads as plural-position, angularly distributed compression loads to different side regions of columns.
Patent CA-2514652-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GILMORE JAMES RANDALL
IPC: B24B1/00
Filed: 1999-08-25
Abstract: The present invention is based on the practice of abrasive machining with no sealed working chamber by the employment of a visco-elastic abrasive medium, behaving predominantly as an elastic solid at the applied.strain of the orbital working motion, and applying orbital or other relative working motion to produce strain rates which bring the medium into a predominantly elastic deformation and often near, but not to exceed, the compressive stress limit at the strain rate employed. The preferred visco-elastic abrasive medium is a rheopectic poly(boro-siloxane) filled with viscosity increasing stiffening agents and high loadings of the abrasive of choice and relatively minor amounts of plasticizers. The system is operated in an open chamber under applied strain rates such that at least about 50 %, particularly about 50 to 99 %, and preferably about 80 to 95 %, of the deflection of the medium under the conditions of operation occurs by elastic deformation and is elastically recovered, and less than 50 %, particularly about 1 to 50 %, preferably about 5 to 20 %, of the deflection of the medium occurs by fluid or plastic flow.

IPC: A01K/
Filed: 2004-02-16
Abstract: The invention is referred to the field of apiculture and especially to the lower part of the beehive, which is the place of residence of the bees. The movable, metal bottom board (1) with the special leg and connectors position solves the problems of the wooden floor and more specifically the problems of wear and tear (rot), mechanical stability and facility of fitting. More specifically, the movable, metal bottom board has a big life span, it offers mechanical stability (3,4), maintains its mechanical properties (it doesn't warp because of humidity while the way of its construction gives it mechanical stability). The replacement of the floor is easy. On the one hand this is due to the metal, which does not develop friction forces with the upper wooden part of the beehive. On the other hand the special leg position and the connector configuration, maintains its compatibility with the existing technology for the construction of the brood chambers and generally the supporting of the upper wooden part of the beehive. The metal legs maintain the distance of the floor from the ground and they deter the penetration of the humidity in the beehive. The metal ventilation port (6) secures the beehive during its transportation. The system of the brood chamber - honey chamber as well as the system of the cover which are made totally of metal and they have the suitable insulation, secure big life span, resistance, fire safety, hygiene and facility of management. The invention is useful, during the apiarian period, either for the whole replacement of the existing beehives or as an alternative solution for the replacement of the wooden bottom boards and covers which are the more sensitive parts of the beehive and exceed their life span.

Abstract: A jewelry lamp is provided, wherein when white light illuminants and chromatic light illuminants emit light at the same time, light emitted from the white light illuminants is a white light with a constant range of spectrum, which turns into a full spectrum white light after mixing with chromatic light with specific spectra emitted from the chromatic light illuminants. When the full spectrum white light is shining on an object, it has a superior chromogenesis and color rendering, so as to enable the object viewed by a human eye or a camera to manifest a vivid color.      On the other hand, when the full spectrum white light is shining an an object such as a diamond, a reflection effect with a chromatic color can be generated due to a variation of angles of incidence of each chromatic light.
