Abstract: Of a pair of electrode members (1, 2) for butt welding two plates (31, 32), at least one electrode member (1) has an outer surface formed as a retracted shape section (1A) which gradually retracts from one plate (31) as it extends from the thickness-wise intermediate portion of the one electrode member (1) toward one plate (31) of the two plates (31, 32). The butt welding of the two plates (31, 32) is effected by offsetting the position of the butt portion (71) of these plates (31, 32) from the thickness-wise intermediate portion of the electrode members (1, 2) toward the retracted shape section (1A) by an amount (L1) corresponding to the difference in thickness between these plates (31, 32), while the butt welding of other two plates different in thickness is effected by changing the offset.

Title: In-ear system and method for testing hearing protection
Inventor: JONASSON OLIVER JOSEPH
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 2005-02-18
Abstract: A method and system of performing a MIRE test to determine the efficacy of an in-ear hearing protector utilizes both a novel microphone assembly designed to run a microphone through a vent in the hearing protector and an optional insertion tool that expands the vent temporarily to allow for insertion of the microphone assembly. The method obtains a true MIRE test result by performing a spectral scan of a known and intense broadband sound field in a chamber formed between the ear canal end of a hearing protector and an ear drum and comparing the results to simultaneous samples of the same signal taken by a similarly designed microphone outside of the hearing protector. A comparison of the differences in the two samples at nine discrete midpoint frequencies provides a reliable basis for measuring the efficacy of an in-ear hearing protection device in the field.
Patent CA-2501521-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VOELLM ANTHONY F
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2004-07-26
Abstract: A method and system for offloading I/O processing from a first computer to a second computer, using RDMA-capable network interconnects, are disclosed. Th e method and system include a client on the first computer communicating over an RDMA connection to a server on the second computer by way of a lightweight input/output (LWI O) protocol. The protocol generally comprises a network discovery phase followed by an UO processing phase. During the discovery phase, the client and server determine a minimal list of shared RDMA-capable providers. During the I/O processing phase, the client posts I/ O requests for offloading to the second machine over a mutually-authenticated RDMA channel. The I/O model is asymmetric, with read operations being implemented using RDMA a nd write operations being implemented using normal sends. Read and write requests may be completed in polling mode and in interrupt mode. Buffers are managed by way of a credit mechanism.

Title: Apparatus and method for reducing gas lock in downhole pumps
Inventor: BROWN THADDEUS LEON
IPC: F04B47/02
Filed: 2005-04-01
Abstract: The pump has a barrel with vent ports located therein and a plunger that reciprocates inside the barrel. The barrel has a standing valve and the plunger has a traveling valve. The plunger has a first portion with a seal between the plunger and the barrel and a second portion with a clearance between the plunger and the barrel. On the downstroke, gas contained in the compression chamber between the two valves vents through the clearance and out of the barrel through the vent port into the well bore. When the plunger contacts liquid in the compression chamber, the liquid enters the clearance and forms a seal, wherein the plunger traveling valve opens. The plunger can also be equipped with a second traveling valve and a vent in the plunger between the two traveling valves in order to equalize pressure across the first traveling valve at the bottom of the downstroke. This enables the standing valve to open much faster on the upstroke.

Title: Surgical instrument incorporating an electrically actuated articulation locking mechanism
Inventor: SHELTON FREDERICK E IV
IPC: A61B17/068
Filed: 2005-07-28
Abstract: A surgical instrument particularly suited to endoscopic use articulates an end effector by including an articulation mechanism in an elongate shaft that incorporates an electrically actuated polymer (EAP) articulation locking mechanism actuator. Thereby, additional options for articulation become feasible, especially those that are actively powered and would otherwise dissipate heat and power if required to maintain position.  Alternatively, a mechanically actuated articulation mechanism may be designed with reduced strength, and thus size, since the EAP articulation lock mechanism assists in preventing back driving after articulation. Versions of a. EAP articulation locking mechanism lock a pivoting articulation joint and others lock a flexible neck articulation joint.
