Inventor: MENSCH DONALD L
IPC: B66F9/18
Filed: 2003-01-07
Abstract: A material handling apparatus includes a frame attachable to a front-end loader vehicle. A tine is attached to the frame, and a top clamp arm is pivoted to the frame and extends over the tine. The clamp arm is movable between a closed position where teeth on a forward lower surface extend generally parallel the tine for holding objects on the front portion, and a partially closed position where teeth on the rearward lower surface are located to hold objects on the rear portion of the tine. The rearward lower surface is upwardly angled from the forward lower surface so that the rear teeth do not interfere with holding a primary object on the front teeth even with secondary objects under the rearward lower surface. The clamp arm has a width and defines a space for receiving the tine, thus providing improved clamping ability.

Patent CA-2419916-A1 (CA)
Title: Sealing assembly
Inventor: RYBA ERIC LEE
IPC: F16L39/02
Filed: 2001-07-31
Abstract: A sealing assembly (FIG. 2) for attaching pliable tubes (30) to rigid connecting members (12), for high pressure, low temperature service, which seals by compressing a sealing wafer (18) around the pliable tubes (30). The pliable tubes (30) pass through holes in the sealing wafer (18). As the wafer seal (18) is axially compressed, the wafer seal (18) is restrained against radial expansion, thereby exerting an inward radial pressure on the holes through the wafer seal (18) to cause an hermetic seal between the wafer seal (18) and the pliable tubes (30). A swage bushing (16) can be used, with swage tubes (16) that are swaged onto the pliable tubes (30) by a swage clamp (16), for the purpose of axially restraining the pliable tubes (30).

Abstract: A system and method for translating a written document into a computer readable document by recognizing the character written on the document aim at recognizing typed or printed, especially hand-printed or handwritten characters, in the various fields of a form. Providing a pixel representation of the written document, the method allows translating a written document into a computer readable document by i) identifying at least one field into the pixel representation of the document; ii) segmenting each field so as to yield at least one segmented symbol; iii) applying a character recognition method on each segmented symbol; and iii) assigning a computer-readable code to each recognized character resulting from the character recognition method. The character recognition method includes doing a vector quantization on each segmented symbol, and doing a vector classification using a vector base. A learning base is also created based on the optimal elliptic separation method. System and method according to the present invention allow to achieve a substitution rate of near zero.

Title: Two-stage plasma process for converting waste into fuel gas and apparatus therefor
Inventor: CARABIN PIERRE
IPC: C10J3/46
Filed: 2003-04-04
Abstract: A two-step gasification process and apparatus for the conversion of solid or liquid organic waste into clean fuel, suitable for use in a gas engine or a gas burner, is described. The waste is fed initially into a primary gasifier, which is a graphite arc furnace. Within the primary gasifier, the organic components of the waste are mixed with a predetermined amount of air, oxygen or steam, and converted into volatiles and soot. The volatiles consist mainly of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, and may include a variety of other hydrocarbons and some fly ash. The gas exiting the primary gasifier first passes through a hot cyclone, where some of the soot and most of the fly ash is collected and returned to the primary gasifier. The remaining soot along with the volatile organic compounds is further treated in a secondary gasifier where the soot and the volatile compounds mix with a high temperature plasma jet and a metered amount of air, oxygen or steam, and are converted into a synthesis gas consisting primarily of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The synthesis gas is then quenched and cleaned to form a clean fuel gas suitable for use in a gas engine or a gas burner. This offers higher thermal efficiency than conventional technology and produces a cleaner fuel than other known alternatives.

Abstract: A hydrophilized membrane which is obtained by easily hydrophilizing, e.g., a hydrophobic porous membrane and is greatly inhibited from suffering adhesion of blood cells such as erythrocytes, leukocytes, and blood platelets thereto.  The hydrophilized hydrophobic porous membrane is characterized by being obtained by immersing a medical supply having a hydrophobic part to be in contact with blood in a solution of a substance having surface activity and then rinsing the medical supply with a solvent in which the surfactant is soluble to thereby adsorb, in an extremely slight amount, the substance having surface activity onto the surface of the part to be in contact with blood. It is further characterized in that the adhesion of blood cells such as erythrocytes, leukocytes, and blood platelets to the membrane is greatly inhibited.
