Title: Double locking flooring system for a construction site
Inventor: PENLAND JOE E SR
IPC: E01C9/08
Filed: 1997-08-29
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the construction of a two-layer flooring system for use at a construction site such as an oil well drilling site. The flooring system is particularly well suited for use in areas with dry, sandy soil. The flooring system is formed by interlocking both the ends and sides of a plurality of mat units (10). Each of the mat units (10) includes two layers of boards (12, 14). The first layer (12) has end locking tabs (22) extending beyond the edge (18) of the first layer and corresponding end locking slots (24), formed by offsetting selected boards (16). The second layer (14) similarly includes side locking tabs (32) and corresponding side locking slots (34), also formed by offsetting selected boards (39, 38). The arrangements of these tabs and slots is such that half-size units (58) and inverted units (60) may be utilized, allowing a wide variety of patterns of interlocking units to be utilized for the flooring system. The method of constructing a flooring system utilizing such units includes positioning one mat unit (10) adjacent to other mat units and inserting the tabs (22) into the corresponding slots (24) to interlock the units. By interlocking a plurality of such units, a two-layer flooring system is fabricated at a construction site which is strong and sturdy enough to support heavy equipment, yet easily installed and removed.

Title: Method of producing pressurized gas-entrapping candy and pressurized gas-entrapping apparatus for carrying out the method
Inventor: MOCHIZUKI KEIZO
IPC: A23G3/02
Filed: 1997-07-18
Abstract: There are provided a method of producing a pressurized gas-entrapping candy and a pressurized gas-entrapping apparatus to be used for the method. According to the method, the pressurized gas-entrapping candy is produced by preparing a hard candy with a conventional method, crushing the hard candy and sieving to obtain candy particles, attaching a pipe with fine holes in its peripheral wall to a cylindrical vessel through an opening formed in a lid of the cylindrical vessel, filling the candy particles in a space between the cylindrical vessel and the pipe, loading the cylindrical vessel in a long and cylindrical pressure-resistant vessel, feeding heating steam and then cooling water to a jacket portion of the pressure-resistant vessel, while maintaining pressurized state in the pressure-resistant vessel, to carry out heating and cooling treatments of the candy particles in the cylindrical vessel, and then releasing the pressurized state of the pressure-resistant vessel. Since the candy particles do not directly contact with jacket portion of the pressure-resistant vessel, therefore, thermal change in quality does not occur and since the cylindrical vessel fills a function as a cartridge, the pressurized gas-entrapping candy can be produced in substantially continuous manner and in large amount to decrease production cost thereof.

Patent CA-2266997-A1 (CA)
Title: Sorting system
Inventor: JONES KEITH MALCOLM
IPC: B07C5/36
Filed: 1999-03-26
Abstract: A sorting system is disclosed, for example for mail items. In the disclosed system, a circulating storage system can receive items from an inlet, and deposit them in an appropriate output receptacle which has been allocated to items in a particular group. For example, the items can be sorted by destination, and each output receptacle can be allocated to a particular destination. In the event that the destination of an item has no output receptacle allocated thereto, the system controller can determine whether to allocate a receptacle, or whether to recirculate the item within the circulating storage system. This possibility allows items to be grouped together within the system, until there are sufficient items for a particular destination to allow them to be handled efficiently, and in particular allows the allocation of output receptacles to destinations to be controlled efficiently.

Abstract: A water heater is provided with a specially designed molded bottom pad/foam dam member which is placed in its bottom pan prior to placing bottom annular portions of the water heater tank and its outwardly spaced jacket structure into the bottom pan. The pad/dam member functions to automatically center the tank relative to its jacket structure, and to prevent leakage past the bottom pan of liquid foam insulation injected into the tank/jacket annulus after bottom end portions of the tank and jacket are secured within the bottom pan. The top side of the pad/dam member has three concentric annular grooves formed therein. The outermost first groove receives an annular bottom end portion of the jacket, while a second groove receives an annular bottom end portion of the tank. The provision of the third groove permits the same pad/dam member to be alternatively used with a water heater having a different tank diameter to thereby improve the manufacturing efficiency of a line of differently sized water heaters. When a second water heater having a different tank diameter is used with the bottom pad/foam dam member, annular bottom edge portions of the second water heater's jacket and tank portions are respectively received in the first and third top side grooves in the pad/dam member.
