Patent CA-2120685-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GRETZ THOMAS J
IPC: H02G3/22
Filed: 1994-04-06
Abstract: A self-backing cable bushing for offsetting an electrical conduit passing through a knock out or opening in a structural member.  The bushing has face and backing flanges connected by a living hinge.  An annular tubular projection with peripheral ramp lugs extends from the face flange.  The cable bushing may be installed by locating the face and backing flanges on opposite sides of the knock out and inserting the ramp lugs into the circular hole in the backing.  This face retains backing flange in parallel, closely-spaced relation with the surface of offset between them.  The bushing may thus be used to protect an electrical conduit from contacting the edges of a variety of knock out shapes.

Title: Facial tissue carton
Inventor: NORTH AMIE M
IPC: B65D5/72
Filed: 1994-05-13
Abstract: Tissue cartons containing a clip of interleaved tissues and featuring a plastic "pop-up" dispensing window having a slit through which the tissues are withdrawn can suffer from a tendency to dispense more than one tissue at a time.  Multiple dispensing can be reduced substantially by providing the dispensing slit with "hooked" ends which hook away from the dispensing slit in opposite directions. The hooked ends provide sufficient added resistance to removal of the tissues so that the next-in-line tissue(s) is (are) less likely to be removed with the previous tissue in the clip.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE          A latch arrangement for an access opening cover on a bulk material storage structure.  The access openign will include a frame defining an opening periphery,  with the covers hinged for movement between a closed position and an open position.  Each cover will include at least one slide bar extending between sides of the cover.  Each slide bar has a length such that the ends of the slide bar are in proximity to the frame.  Lock studs extend inwardly from the frame, with one stud associated with each end of each slide bar. Each slide bar is mounted for sliding movement perpendicular to its longitudinal axis in the plane of the cover between latched and unlatched positions, and includes a stud face and a lock face.  The stud face includes slits through which the studs may pass at the closed position of the cover, allowing the bar to drop down over the stud.  When dropped down over the stud into the latched position, the lock face abuts against the stud, arresting movement of the bar.

Patent CA-2136004-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GAGNON DAVID R
IPC: C12N11/08
Filed: 1993-05-13
Abstract: 2136004 9325594 PCTABS00028 Supports having azlactone-functional surfaces, adduct supports prepared from such azlactone-functional supports, and methods of preparing both are disclosed. Azlactone functionality is introduced to surfaces of a pre-existing support in a manner which retains useful physical and chemical characteristics of the pre-existing support. One method involves exposing surfaces with high energy radiation to generate free radical reaction sites on the surfaces and causing azlactone-functional moieties to react with the free radical reaction sites. Another method involves coating surfaces with azlactone monomers, cross-linking monomers, and optionally co-monomers and polymerizing the monomers to form a polymerized coating of azlactone-functionality on the surfaces. Another method involves dispersion polymerization of azlactone-functional moieties to produce azlactone-functional particles within pores and interstices of a pre-existing support. Adduct supports are formed by coupling nucleophilic reagents, such as biologically active materials, to azlactone-functional moieties of the support.

Title: Overheating protection device for rotational control apparatus
Inventor: CARLSON KENT
IPC: F16D25/063
Filed: 1994-06-01
Abstract: A device (110) for protecting a clutch (C) against over-heating from externally caused problems such as rapid cycling is disclosed including a heat conductive plug (120) sealed in an es-cape port (116) of a fitting (112) by fuse material (124) such as lead. The fitting (112) is threadably, sealably received in a bore (104) formed in the friction interface disc (12) of the clutch (C). The bore (104) is in fluid communication with the cylinder (30) of the clutch (10) which slideably mounts a piston (10) connected to the friction interface disc (12). Fluid pressure introduced into the cylinder (30) by conventional conduit means (42) moves the piston (10) therein against the bias of a spring (56) when fluid flow from the cylinder (30) through the bore (104) is blocked by the overheating protection device (110). When heat resulting from clutch temperatures exceeding normal operating temperatures and conducted to the fitting (112) and the device (110) is sufficient to melt the fuse material (124), the plug (120) is ejected from the escape port (116) by the fluid pressure communicated from the cylinder (30) to the bore (104). The fluid pressure of the cylinder (30) will be insufficient to move the piston (10) against the bias of the spring (56) when the escape port (116) is not sealed by the plug (120) and fuse material (124).

Title: Benzene reduction in gasoline by alkylation with higher olefins
Inventor: CHIN ARTHUR ACHHING
IPC: C10G29/20
Filed: 1994-02-14
Abstract: A benzene-rich gasoline stream is alkylated with higher olefins in contact with a fluid bed of shape selective zeolite catalyst to produce a gasoline product stream reduced in benzene content wherein the high octane value alkylaromatics formed by benzene alkylation are of low carbon number, essentially C10-. Concurrently, a portion of olefins in the gasoline stream are converted to gasoline boiling range hydrocarbons and the sulfur content of the gasoline feedstream is lowered. Besides enhancing the octane value of the feedstream, the process results in a lower Reid vapor pressure and lower sulfur content.

IPC: F21S8/10
Filed: 1995-09-11
Abstract: An incandescent lamp assembly, such as an automobile headlight, includes a reflector defining a cavity having a reflecting surface, and an incandescent lamp capsule mounted within the reflector.  The incandescent lamp capsule, typically a tungsten halogen incandescent lamp capsule, includes a light-transmissive envelope, a filament sealed in the envelope and a fill material including an inert gas and a halogen additive.  A specularly reflective coating is formed on a portion of the envelope for reflecting visible light and infrared radiation emitted by the filament and not directed to the reflecting surface of the reflector.  The envelope is ellipsoidally shaped, at least in the portion having the reflective coating, so that the reflective coating reflects visible light and infrared radiation emitted by the filament back to the filament.  The reflective coating limits glare and increases the operating efficiency of the headlight.
