Abstract: A removable cleat for footwear. The cleat includes a disc (2A) with opposing faces. A shoe coupling element (22) is attached to one face of the disc. The other disc face supports a cushioning layer (30). Traction elements (40) are supported by the cushioning layer. When a user steps on a surface wearing a shoe outfitted with these cleats, the resilience of the cushioning layer at once both lessens the impact of the traction elements on the ground surface and lessens the reaction force on the user' s foot transmitted through the shoe's outsole. The user's comfort is thereby enhanced.

Inventor: FIORONE RAOUL
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2006-12-28
Abstract: This invention concerns a protection scheme for a metro optical network having a ring topology. The scheme involves programming ingress nodes (102A) and egress nodes (102B to 102F) with a primary LSP (107) and a back-up LSP (108) to provide one-to-one protection over the network. During normal use, multicast communications are sent on the primary LSP (107), however, on the occurrence of a fault, the nodes (102A to 102F) continue to send the multicast communication in the primary LSP (107) but also send a duplicate of the communication in the back-up LSP ( 108). In this way, the primary and back-up LSPs (107 and 108) can be configured in advance of the fault occurring, while at the same time avoiding failure of the network to transmit the multicast communication on occurrence of a fault. Configuring the primary and back-up LSPs (107 and 108) in advance of a fault occurring is advantageous as it avoids the need for signalling to establish a working LSP on occurrence of a fault (as is the case for protection schemes that determine a back-up LSP on demand).

Inventor: SAVIDGE RODNEY A
IPC: C08H8/00
Filed: 2009-08-10
Abstract: Solid Oligosaccharides and Polysaccharides (SOP) are obtained from tissues of plants through the basic SOP process. A batch consisting of small pieces of plant tissue is soaked in alkaline solution at ambient temperature and pressure in a pulp-mill batch digester or similar extraction vessel. The alkaline extract is separated from the insoluble residue in the extraction vessel and transferred as clear solution to a SOP-forming tank, and the insoluble residue of plant tissue remaining in the extraction vessel is soaked in a second volume of alkaline solution. That second volume of alkaline extract is also transferred to a SOP-forming tank, whereupon the insoluble residue remaining in the extraction vessel is processed into pulp and paper or other products using established methods. SOP is produced in the SOP-forming tank as a coagulated suspension by adding to a volume of alkaline extract an equal volume of an aliphatic alcohol and mixing the two. SOP is concentrated, bleached and/or washed then dehydrated in a SOP  separator. Alcohol used in the process is recovered by distillation, and the residual alkaline solution is adjusted to the desired concentration by addition of alkali then returned to the extraction vessel for treatment of another batch of plant tissue pieces.  Potential uses of SOP are multi-faceted, e.g., as digestive fibre, foodstuff (e.g., syrup, sweetener), gum, paper additive, bulking agent in pharmacy or well-drilling, and as soluble carbohydrate for production of alcohol through fermentation or for other purposes including energy production.

Abstract: La présente invention a pour objet une combinaison d'un dispersant et d'un agent moussant utile à la production de panneaux de placoplâtre et d'autres produits cimentaires aqueux, une méthode de fabrication d'un panneau de placoplâtre et un panneau de placoplâtre. Le dispersant employé dans la combinaison de la présente invention est un polymère de sel alcalin de condensat naphtalène-sulfonate/aldéhyde ayant une masse moléculaire moyenne pondérée d'environ 17 000 à environ 47 000. De préférence, l'alcali est un métal alcalin ou un métal alcalino-terreux. De préférence, l'aldéhyde est le formaldéhyde. L'agent moussant utilisé dans la combinaison de la présente invention est un savon, de préférence un sel alcalin d'un éthersulfate d'alkyle et/ou d'un sulfate d'alkyle. La combinaison d'un dispersant de masse moléculaire élevée et d'un agent moussant produit un effet sur l'âme du panneau se traduisant par un plus grand entraînement de l'air (c.-à-d. la création de vides) et abaissant de la sorte le poids total du panneau sans nuire à sa résistance. Un panneau de placoplâtre fabriqué avec la combinaison de dispersant et d'agent moussant de la présente invention offre une meilleure résistance à l'arrachement des clous que les panneaux de placoplâtre fabriqué à partir d'un dispersant et d'un agent moussant classiques avec le même rapport de charges de solides.
