Abstract: L'invention porte sur un ancrage à utiliser dans les structures de béton coulé. Il est composé d'une pièce creuse de forme allongée, d'une ouverture longitudinale avec deux bordures de côté et un fond, d'un écrou jumelé à une plaquette de verrouillage qui s'insèrent dans les bordures de côté, d'un boulon de fixation, ainsi que d'un moyen d'empêcher le béton de suinter dans l'ancrage. L'enrobage de l'ancrage dans une structure de béton permet d'obtenir une méthode de verrouillage positionnel antidérapant efficace pour fixer un élément structural ou secondaire. L'ancrage permet de verrouiller verticalement l'écrou jumelé à la plaquette de verrouillage de façon à assurer une liaison appropriée avec un élément structural ou secondaire à l'aide du boulon de fixation. L'ancrage équipé d'éléments qui dépassent vers l'arrière transfère et répartit le poids de l'élément structural ou secondaire vers l'intérieur de la structure de béton, ce qui crée un joint hautement résistant.

Abstract: A storage rack pivots outwardly from a corresponding longitudinal recess in the handle of the tool. The storage rack accommodates tool accessories or the like, such as sockets where the tool is a ratchet. The storage rack has an outer surface which defines part of the handle when the storage rack is closed. Alternatively, there could be several storage racks each with different pivot points, or two racks pivoting in opposite directions and sharing a common pivot point. Preferably, the handle is of plastic, and in the case of a ratchet, is overmolded onto a metal ratchet mechanism. The ratchet mechanism has an irregular external shape, or splines or the like, to accept torque without slipping or separating from the plastic handle portion.

Patent CA-2697456-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FOSSE ERIK
IPC: A61B8/08
Filed: 2008-08-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a post-operative care unit for analysing and quantifying an ultrasound tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) signal from a transducer fastened on the myocardium to obtain a parameter indicating regional cardiac ischaemia or correlates with global hypokinetic heart function. This has the advantage over manually operated probes that it can be automated and used continuously over long time. According to the method, a TDI  signal trace corresponding to at least one of tissue velocity, strain or strain rate is extracted and correlated with an electrocardiogram to define subsections within a cardiac cycle in the extracted trace corresponding to the early systolic phase and the post-systolic phase. Then, a velocity, strain or strain rate is read in at least the post-systolic phase of the extracted trace, and a parameter which is a function of one of these readings and which indicates ischaemia or global hypokinetic function is generated.

Title: System for the automatic detection of load cycles of a machine for the transferring of loads
Inventor: SCHNEIDER KLAUS
IPC: B66C13/16
Filed: 2010-08-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for the automatic detection of load cycles of a machine for the transferring of loads, wherein the machine includes a lifting apparatus for the raising of the load and a transport apparatus for the horizontal movement of the load, comprising: a load change detection for the automatic detection of a load change at least on the basis of the output signals of a lifting force measurement apparatus, a load position detection which detects the position of the load in at least a horizontal direction and a load cycle detection for the automatic detection of a load cycle, wherein the load cycle detection takes place at least on the basis of the output signals of the load change detection and of the load position detection. In accordance with the invention, the load cycle detection stores the position of the load as the load pick-up point when a positive load change was recognized and evaluates the positive load change as the start of a new load cycle on the basis of a query as to whether the load has been moved a predetermined distance from the load pick-up point in the horizontal.

Inventor: WILDE GLENN
IPC: F17D1/075
Filed: 2010-09-08
Abstract: In a system for optimizing natural gas production in response to real-time variations in wellbore parameters, a PLC or other wellsite intelligence technology is used to monitor liquid and gas production from the wellbore under friction-loaded conditions.  Using baseline production data obtained during production tests, the PLC  determines and initiates the appropriate operating mode for the wellbore to optimize a selected production criterion to suit measured wellbore parameters. The operating mode either a continuous clean-out mode, in which gas is continuously injected into the wellbore to control liquid loading, or an intermittent clean-out, in which liquid loading is regulated by intermittent gas injection. In preferred embodiments, the system uses bladder-type control valves having upstream and downstream solenoids, to control production tubing flow rate within a range between upper and lower set points.
