Patent CA-2369246-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BECK THEODORE R
IPC: C25C3/08
Filed: 2002-01-24
Abstract: A method of producing aluminum in an electrolytic cell (2) containing alumina dissolved in an electrolyte. The method comprises the steps of providing a molten salt electrolyte in an electrolytic cell having an anodic liner (4) for containing the electrolyte, the liner having an anodic bottom (36) and walls (32) including at least one end wall extending upwardly from the anodic bottom, the anodic liner being substantially inert with respect to the molten electrolyte.  A plurality of non-consumable anodes (6) is provided and disposed vertically in the electrolyte. A plurality of cathodes (10) is disposed vertically in the electrolyte in alternating relationship with the anodes. The anodes (6) are electrically connected to the anodic liner (4). An electric current is passed through the anodic liner to the anodes, through the electrolyte to the cathodes, and aluminum is deposited on said cathodes. Oxygen bubbles are generated at the anodes and the anodic liner, the bubbles stirring the electrolyte. Molten aluminum is collected from the cathodes into a tubular member (44) positioned underneath the cathodes. The tubular member is in liquid communication with each cathode to collect the molten aluminum therefrom while excluding electrolyte. Molten aluminum is delivered through the tubular member to a molten aluminum reservoir (34) located substantially opposite the anodes and cathodes. The molten aluminum is collected from the cathodes and delivered to the reservoir while avoiding contact of the molten aluminum with the anodic bottom.

Title: Method for estimating signal-to-noise ratio of digital carriers in an am compatible digital audio broadcasting system
Inventor: GOLDSTON DON ROY
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 2000-06-22
Abstract: A method of estimating SNR for a plurality of carriers modulated with digital information, wherein the digital information includes data baud and training baud, comprising the steps of: receiving the plurality of carriers;  determining a first SNR for the data baud; determining a second SNR for the training baud; comparing at least one of the first and second SNRs to predetermined selection criteria; and selecting one of the first and said second SNRs based on the comparison step. In the preferred embodiment, the carriers are processed to produce an equalizer output for each of the carriers, and the equalizer output is processed to produce a symbol decision for each of the carriers. The equalizer output is subtracted from the symbol decision when a data baud is received to produce a first difference value, and the first difference value is squared to produce a first signal to noise estimate. The equalizer output is also subtracted from predetermined training data when a training baud is received to produce a second difference value, and the second difference value is squared to produce a second signal to noise estimate. Apparatus that performs the above method is also included.

Patent CA-2381671-A1 (CA)
Title: Steam-cooling-type turbine
Inventor: TANIOKA TADATERU
IPC: F01D25/24
Filed: 2002-04-10
Abstract: The steam-cooling-type gas turbine is provided with communication passages in number equal to that of the front-stage stator blades and the rear-stage stator blades.      Many communication passages are placed in the blade ring densely. As a result, in the blade ring, the temperature difference between the portion having the communication passages and the portion without the communication passages becomes smaller. This makes it possible to minimize the thermal deformation of the blade ring, thereby making it possible to provide uniform clearance between the fixed side such as the blade ring and the rotary side members.

Title: Riveting apparatus
Inventor: KING RICHARD PAUL
IPC: B21J15/16
Filed: 2000-09-27
Abstract: A hand-held riveting tool is driven by a battery-powered electric motor (26), and comprises a hydraulically-actuated riveting head (11), and a re-ciprocating hydraulic pump (22) driven by the elec-tric motor. The tool includes a reservoir (23) for hy-draulic fluid, the hydraulic supply line from the pump to the riveting head (11) being connected to the reser-voir (23) by a reservoir inlet valve (29) which is nor-mally open to allow hydraulic fluid to flow from the supply line into the reservoir (23). Operation of the tool-actuating trigger (31) firstly closes the reservoir inlet valve (29), and then switches on the electric mo-tor (26) to operate the pump (22). Release of the tool-actuating trigger (31) firstly switches off the electric motor (26) to stop operation of the pump (22), and then opens the reservoir inlet valve (29). When the reservoir inlet valve (29) is closed by operation of the trigger (31), it acts as a pressure-relief valve to relieve over-pressure of hydraulic fluid.

The nominal pressure of old pipes can be substantially increased by the cleaning procedure.
Patent CA-2388871-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BURGENER ROBIN A
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 1994-10-14
Abstract: The most commonly available operating systems over the last two decades have had a monolithic kernel architecture. These operating systems often employ windowing systems or graphical user interfaces (GUI's) by adding complex functionality to the monolithic kernel itself. Microkernel operating systems offer a superior architecture, but heretofore, where not available with an effective GUI. While monolithic operating systems support complex instructions such as "drawing"or managing an input device, microkernel architectures seek to operate with a minimal set of primitives, delegating the more complex tasks to external processes. The invention provides an effective GUI for managing the interaction of multiple displays, by defining a multi-dimensional "event space" in which the displays. Each software program operating on the system has a set of characteristics, which define its location in the event space. This paradigm allows a microkernel operating system to manage the software programs by managing this small set of characteristics.

Title: A combination of a solid solvent and a melt-processible block copolymer
Inventor: BLAKE HOLLY
IPC: B29C65/48
Filed: 2000-10-31
Abstract: A new class of solid solvents selected from adipamides, bisacetamides, biscarbamates, and dibenzamides has been found effective to reduce the melt viscosity of certain block copolymers while not substantially adversely affecting the mechanical properties of the block copolymer when both block copolymer and solid solvent are below their melt temperature. The block copolymers can be polyether-polyurethane block copolymers, polyester-polyurethane block copolymers, polyester-polyether block copolymers, polyamide polyether, or polyamide polyester. The combination is especially useful as an adhesive, as the adhesive component for fabric laminates or as the adhesive for seam sealing tapes.
