Inventor: GOUPIL RAYNALD
IPC: E04G23/00
Filed: 2006-03-31
Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for removing a flexible floor covering from a floor.  The apparatus has a frame supported on a plurality of castors to allow rolling motion of the frame along the floor. A roller is supported on the frame for rotational motion relative thereto.  The roller has an axis of rotation disposed substantially parallel to the floor when the apparatus is in use. A drive assembly is operatively connected to the roller for rotatively driving same.  Gripping means in the nature of a plurality of gripping members, are carried on the roller for grippingly engaging a portion of the flexible floor covering. The apparatus further includes a grip releasing means for urging the gripping means to disengage from the portion of the flexible floor covering after the flexible floor covering has been detached from the floor.  The grip releasing means is mounted to the frame and disposed adjacent the roller. The grip releasing means is operable to discourage the portion of the flexible floor covering from being wound about the roller. In operation, the gripping members grippingly engage the portion of flexible floor covering and cause it to detach from the floor as the roller rotates about its rotational axis. The grip release means meets the gripping members and functions as a wedge placed between the portion of flexible floor covering and the gripping members thereby causing the portion of flexible floor covering to physically separate from the gripping members.

Title: Torque speed control authority for an engine having an all-speed governor
Inventor: RODGERS DAVID V
IPC: F02D41/02
Filed: 2004-11-15
Abstract: A motor vehicle (20) has a diesel engine (22) and one or more sources (30, 3 6) providing data (CAN_TSC_OCM, CAN_TSC_OCM_SA11) relevant to operations of the vehicle that are external to the engine (22) but potentially influential on fueling of the engine (22). An engine control system (24) processes data according to an all-speed governing strategy (52) for controlling engine fueling (66) to develop all-speed governed fueling data (MFGOV) that sets engine fueling (66) when a data input to the engine control system (24) from the one or more sources discloses no need to influence engine fueling (66). When the data input from such one or more sources discloses a need to influence engine fueling (66), that data input causes engine fueling (66) to be set by a strategy (54) other than the all-speed governing strategy (52), a torque speed control strategy (54) in particular.

Patent CA-2549963-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HERKENHOFF E FREDERIC
IPC: G01V1/02
Filed: 2004-12-06
Abstract: A method for obtaining seismic data is disclosed. A constellation of seismic energy sources is translated along a survey path. The seismic energy sources include a reference energy source and a satellite energy source. The reference energy source is activated and the satellite energy source is activated at a time delay relative to the activation of the reference energy source. This is repeated at each of the spaced apart activation locations along the survey path to generate a series of superposed wavefields. The time delay is varied between each of the spaced apart activation locations. Seismic data processing comprises sorting the traces into a common~ geometry domain and replicating the traces into multiple datasets associated with each particular energy source. Each trace is time adjusted in each replicated dataset in the common-geometry domain using the time delays associated with each particular source.  This result in signals generated from that particular energy source being generally coherent while rendering signals from the other energy source is generally incoherent. The coherent and incoherent signals are then filtered to attenuate incoherent signals.

Title: Kitchen dish rack design improvement
Inventor: NATALI RYKOV
IPC: F26B9/00
Filed: 2006-07-07
Abstract: Commonly found rigs for drying dishes usually resemble rods, which are bent upwards or downwards to support upright placement of flat dishes. Such design requires additional flat space to allow other kinds of kitchenware, such as cups, or bowls. Contrary, a flat surface created by running straight parallel rods would allow cups and non-standard format kitchenware, but would not support flat dishes and small dishes - they would slip through the rods if placed vertically. The proposed improvement extends use of space, compared to that of rigs commonly found on the market. It is a two-layer rig. The top layer is a flat surface created by parallel straight rods with a couple of rods running perpendicular to the general direction; the bottom layer is a similar flat surface with the perpendicular rods running much closer to each other. This scheme will allow cups, glasses, and non-standard kitchenware be placed on the flat surface. It will also allow vertical placement of flat dishes, as the bottom layer would support them. In addition, such design can easily be fixed in different areas of the kitchen, like walls or below flat horizontal surfaces.
