Patent CA-2110929-A1 (CA)
Title: Elastomeric seismic seal system
Inventor: NICHOLAS JOHN D
IPC: E04B1/68
Filed: 1993-12-08
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE        An   elastomeric   joint   seal   for   architectural structures is provided with a multi-part cover and employs special  anchoring  hardware  at  least  partially,  and preferably entirely, mounted outside of the joint.   The preferred  mounting  hardware  comprises  channels  for receiving anchoring ribs of the multi-part cover.  The main portion of the cover spans and seals the architectural joint, and is secured in the mounting hardware by anchoring ribs at each side.  Cover strips are also anchored in the mounting hardware, and cover any exposed portions of the mounting hardware.   The effective width of the joint is increased, by locating the mounting hardware outside of the joint space, which enables the joint to be designed to a narrower width dimension.   The cover strips may be of a different color than the main seal to minimize the sight line.     Significant  economies  are  realized  in  the manufacture and installation, in part because the multi-part cover construction enables smaller and therefore less expensive extrusion equipment to be employed, and in part because the traditional difficulties involved in preparing the joint faces and in installing the mounting hardware within the joint space are avoided.

IPC: B29C33/52
Filed: 1994-05-20
Abstract: A meltable core made of a metal alloy having a low melting temperature is used for the production of a cavity in an injection molded part and includes a hollow body having a core opening and a separately manufactured cover for the sealing of the core opening.

Title: Streamlab hydraulic demonstration flume
Inventor: NEWBURY ROBERT
IPC: G09B23/12
Filed: 1994-08-12
Abstract: In illustrating and teaching the phenomena of flowing water in open channels, a large glass-walled flume in a hydraulics laboratory is commonly used. In this invention, the same open channel flow phenomena are reproduced in miniature in a portable re-circulating flume that is adapted to fit overhead projectors and that uses light to magnify the phenomena to the scale normally used in a hydraulic laboratory. The live projected images of flowing water phenomena may be manipulated and demonstrated to a large number of viewers without access to a hydraulics laboratory. Particular experiments and illustrations have been developed as elements inserted into the flume that are adapted to illustrate the projected images of the flowing water. These images give new insights into the phenomena and cannot be produced by photographic or other means using full-scale hydraulic laboratory flumes.

Patent CA-2134247-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MAGDE JOHN M JR
IPC: G03G15/043
Filed: 1994-10-25
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the presence of image information in the lead edge of an input document by comparing the average difference between a plurality of instantaneous optical density measurements of a reference strip and the average optical density for the reference strip to the average difference between a plurality of instantaneous optical density measurements of a lead edge of an original input document and the average optical density for the lead edge of the original input document. Analysis of optical density measurements during scanning of the lead edge of an original input document is accomplished so that image information on the lead edge of an original input document is not misinterpreted as indicative of a dark background original input document. The method and apparatus provides novel control of bias voltages applied to subsystems in an electrostatographic printing apparatus in response to the presence or absence of image information in the lead edge of an input document so that both background development and the loss of image density for images on the lead edge of a document is minimized by setting the exposure lamp voltage, and/or the developer bias, charging potential, as well as other variable parameters to predetermined settings in response to the detection of image information in the original input document.

Title: Color panel display device
Inventor: MIYAZAWA KUNIAKI
IPC: G02F1/133
Filed: 1995-02-15
Abstract: A three-color backlight type display according to the present invention is provided for reproducing a full image with no use of color filters. In action, acomposite signal is separately by a RGB decoder into R, G, and B color components which are sampled on a frame-by-frame basis and stored as a serial RGB data into a RAM. The color components of the serial data are read from the RAM with a delay of one frame after the write time and within a shorter duration for data compression. The color components of compressed form are transmitted to an LCD where each of them is allocated to form a dot pattern during a blanking period. In synchronization with the allocation of the color component, a corresponding one of the three backlights is irradiated. This action is repeated for all the R, G, and B components in a succession. Accordingly, a clear color image can be reproduced having less unwanted artifacts, c.g. color blur and persistence, which are attributed to anyconventional three-color backlight type display.
Patent CA-2146834-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GRISLEY KENNETH M
IPC: B27F1/00
Filed: 1995-04-11
Abstract: A template for use with a jig having a workpiece positioning member. The template supports and guides a cutting tool used to cut joint members in two workpieces and comprises a support surface and at least one set of guides formed on the support surface for guiding the cutting tool. The support surface is movable with respect to the workpiece positioning member a pre-determined distance between a first position to cut joint members in one workpiece and a second position to cut complementary joint members in another workpiece. This arrangement permits accurate routing of rounded or square finger joints or other types of uniform, spaced joints as determined by the template being used. Moving the template with respect to fixed workpiece positioning members means that no adjustment of the positioning members or workpieces is necessary between cutting of complementary joint members on separate workpieces which tends to result in more accurate cutting of the joints.

Title: Agents for absorption machines
Inventor: KELLER JURGEN
IPC: C09K5/04
Filed: 1993-12-17
Abstract: The present invention proposes adding an alkaline solution or a mixture of two or more alkaline solutions to the agent system of absorption machines operating with ammonia or methylamine as the agent and water as the solvent. This addition of an alkaline solution or an alkaline solution mixture has a number of advantageous effects. These are, i.a.   1. The dissolving respectively expelling heat of the agent is reduced, raising the output figure.   2. The agent vapor generated is very pure. A dephlegmator is obviated.   3. The alkaline solution makes steel surfaces inert when sealed from air and in a high vacuum, thereby obviating corrosion inhibitors.   4. The viscosity of the solvent is reduced, decreasing pump operation.
