Patent CA-2320340-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GARCIA LOPEZ DE LACALLE FELIPE
IPC: E04B1/10
Filed: 1999-12-10
Abstract: The system is based on the utilization of modules which are repeated in slabs of floors (2), walls (1) and roof; said modules are comprised of vertical groups of boards (4) which are connected at their transverse edges by means of horizontal metal sections (11) and by means of tensioning bars which are housed into orifices facing the boards (4), the bars having threaded ends for tightening purposes by means of corresponding nuts. The boards (4) are provided with grooving-tongueing means (5) in order to obtain modules of which the height equals the existing height between floor and ceiling. The horizontal fixing to the floor slabs (2) is obtained by welding of the horizontal sections (11) or by other means, while the vertical unions between concurrent modules are realized by screwing the extremity of the tensioning bars (7) to the concurrent module or to L-shaped auxiliary sections (19). The modules of partitions, slabs and covers or roof may have different thickness in order to adapt them to the criteria of the execution project.

With this arrangement of the intake and exhaust ports, intake pipes can be arranged with a high degree of freedom.
Patent CA-2324536-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FUKANO KAZUKO
IPC: B41J29/38
Filed: 2000-10-27
Abstract: An output device (103) can be quickly and easily set to the operating parameters required for a particular output process. The output device has RAM (204) that temporarily stores the control parameters, and flash ROM (206) that stores the same parameter values in a nonvolatile manner. Specific parameter values are stored in RAM (204) in response to a specific command from the host (102). A customization command causes the output device (103) to save the operating parameters from RAM (204) into the flash ROM (206). Another customization command causes the output device (103) to restore the parameters from flash ROM (206) to RAM (204). A particular operating environment defined by the parameters stored in nonvolatile memory can therefore be quickly reset en masse.

Title: Airbag tear seam
Inventor: LEVINE AARON B
IPC: B60R21/2165
Filed: 1999-02-02
Abstract: A steering wheel assembly (20) has a unique tear seam (26) design. The tear seam is incorporated in an airbag scrim (24) that covers an airbag when the airbag is mounted in the steering wheel assembly. In the most preferred embodiment the tear seam is a straight line that bisects the airbag scrim. The tear seam is formed from three walls (80, 82, 84) joined by a first joint (86) and a second joint (88). The first joint is substantially a right angle joint and the second joint is a radiused joint. Because of its shape, the first joint is less fracture resistant than the second joint. The tear seam design permits a more efficient deployment of the airbag.

Patent CA-2336503-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DICKERSON JACK LAVERNE
IPC: B21D43/04
Filed: 2001-02-14
Abstract: A device for positioning stock within a metal forming machine has a body containing a pusher arm. The device may use interchangeable standard and reverse pusher arms. The pusher arms mount on pivot pins and have position restoring springs. The springs exert force on the pusher arms at a distance from the pivot pins, thereby inducing a moment in the pusher arm. The pusher arm translates this moment into a lateral force exerted by the pusher arm on a piece of stock metal. The body may be mounted in either a reverse or standard configuration resulting, in combination with the use of either the standard or reverse pusher arm, in the ability to exert a lateral force in different directions depending on the configuration used. The device may also have a single pusher arm which may be used in either configuration.

Inventor: PICMAN TIMOTHY T
IPC: C10C3/04
Filed: 1999-12-27
Abstract: In a method for reducing hydrogen chloride emissions from an asphalt blowing  process, ferric chloride and/or ferrous chloride are added to the asphalt. A  chemical modifier is also added to the asphalt. The asphalt is subjected to a blowing process which produces hydrogen chloride emissions. The addition of the chemical modifier reduces the hydrogen chloride emissions by at least 25  % compared to the same process without the addition of the chemical modifier. The addition of the ferric chloride and/or ferrous chloride provides beneficial effects such as increased blowing rate and increased final penetration of the asphalt. Preferably, the addition of the chemical modifie r does not significantly reduce these beneficial effects.
