Patent CA-2783089-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TAHERI FARID
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 2012-07-11
Abstract: The present invention describes an improved process of damage detection in pipes and joint systems whereby an electric hammer is used to improve the accuracy and efficiency of data collection. A Laser Doppler Vibrometer is employed to collect signal data remotely, thus negating the need to attach a sensor. A wireless carrier set-up with sensors wired to the carrier through an analog to digital converter module (ADC) is employed to enable high sampling rates that improve data collection speed and accuracy at a base computer station. The wireless carrier is easily mounted on remote locations of test sites. A special purpose signal conditioner with an embedded analog amplifier assists in obtaining the maximum resolution of vibration data obtained through any sensor (especially in the case when piezoelectric sensors are used), from various site locations. This approach provides a process of improving acquisition of a signal within its bandwidth range, as well as a noise filtering system that can collectively facilitate detection of damage in structural joints.  Incorporation of a second IMF in the joint damage detection system has proven to yield greater signal resolution and hence greater reliability by combining t first and second IMF, which will enhance the predictive accuracy of the system. Damage detection is achieved by processing of the captured vibration signals and processing the signal via a special process to evaluate the damage indices, specifically by using software that is either hosted on a remote computer or by directly installing the code into a remote processor.

Title: Hand sanitizer compliance detection system
Inventor: POKRAJAC DALIBOR
IPC: A61G12/00
Filed: 2012-07-19
Abstract: A hand sanitizer compliance detection system for RFID-tagged employees, comprising a hand sanitizer station with a detector enclosure having a sensor and an aperture that narrows a field of view by the sensor to define a hand detection zone. The sensor detects use of the hand sanitizer dispenser by the user. An enclosure for the sensor houses a dry contact which sends output of the sensor to a signal generator input by a wired connection, which activates a signal generator which transmits a detector signal by an antenna to a user's RFID tag. The RFID  tag transmits an RFID signal to an RFID network tag reader which relays user compliance data to a monitoring server. The system logs the use by the RFID-tagged employee.

Title: Rock drilling in great depths by thermal fragmentation using highly exothermic reactions evolving in the environment of a water-based drilling fluid
Inventor: RUDOLF VON ROHR PHILIPP
IPC: E21B7/14
Filed: 2009-12-22
Abstract: A method and a device to thermally fragment rock for excavation of vertical and directional boreholes in rock formations, preferentially hard rock, using highly exothermic reactions are suggested. Exothermic reactions are initiated directly in the pressurized, aqueous environment of a water-based drilling fluid preferably above the critical pressure of water (221 bar). After reaction onset temperatures within the reaction zone exceed the critical temperature for water (374°C) providing supercritical conditions, which favor the stabilization of the reaction, e.g. a supercritical hydrothermal flame. Since reactions can be run directly in a water- based drilling fluid, the method proposed here allows high density drilling action as in conventional rotary drilling. Apart from that the hot reaction zone of the proposed reaction can be brought directly to the rock surface in case of hard polycrystalline rock, where high temperatures are required. Additionally, alternating cooling (drilling fluid) and heating (reaction) is suggested to further increase drilling performance by enhancing thermal gradients within the rock surface layer. The method and device proposed here aim at uniting advantages of rotary and thermal spallation drilling techniques and allow for combinations thereof.

Title: Machine-actuated and removable safety closure with anti-rotation and machine-released holder
Inventor: GRESH BRIAN M
IPC: F16L55/07
Filed: 2012-04-11
Abstract: An improved machine-actuated removable safety closure made according to this invention includes a latch and central hub combination which permits a plug holder to self-align with the drive holes of the closure's cam plate so that an operator can retrieve the closure without having to lean directly over it. A bypass valve interferes with the cam plate when the bypass is in its closed position. This interference prevents the cam plate from actuating the locking leaves. Anti-rotation slots located on the plug body and the flange of the tubular member interlock and prevent rotation of the plug body beyond a certain rotational window during the setting process and when the plug body is in its final sealing position.  The latch, along with means to secure the plug holder to the boring bar, allows the holder to be retrieved from the set plug.
