Title: A method and a device for transfering load units between two carriers
Inventor: LOVGREN STEN
IPC: B65G67/02
Filed: 1995-07-18
Abstract: A method and a device for transferring a load unit (6) between two carriers (1, 2a) are based upon a first of the carriers comprising a transfer arrangement (3) comprising at least one arm (4), which is extensible and contractable respectively in a transverse direction of the first carrier (1) and which forms a path of movement for a carrying member (5) included in the transfer arrangement. The carrying member is guidedly movable along the arm and adapted to carry the load unit which is to be displaced. The second carrier (2a) comprises securing members (7) to secure the load unit (6) by engaging with corresponding securing means (8) thereon. The securing members (7) of the second carrier (2a) are arranged adjustably movable vertically in order to raise and lower respectively a load unit (6) resting on the securing members. The vertical adjustability is adapted to the transfer arrangement (3) such that a load unit resting on the securing members (7) may be lowered, from an elevated position, such that the load of the load unit is transferred from the securing member (7) to the carrying member (5) introduced under the load unit.

Patent CA-2211487-A1 (CA)
Title: Directory number portability in telephone networks
Inventor: MARTINEZ EDGAR
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 1997-07-25
Abstract: Portability of directory numbers in telephone networks, particularly so-called intelligent networks, may be provided without modification of the call processing software at originating network node switches, by associating each call to a ported number with an Initial Address Message comprising a Location Routing Number for the recipient switch as the Called Number and the ported directory number as the Original Called Number. At a boundary with a network which uses a Location Routing Number, a Generic Address Parameter and a Forward Call Indicator flag for identifying calls to ported numbers, a network element creates a modified routing message by converting the Original Called Number to a Generic Address Parameter and setting a Forwarded Call Indicator flag to indicate a translated originally-dialled called number. The network element then uses the converted Initial Address Message to route the call into the second network. Public Office Dialling Plan or Termination Attempt triggers may be used to interrupt processing of a call to the ported number and initiate a query to a Service Control Point database far the corresponding Location Routing Number for inclusion in the Initial Address Message. Alternatively, call forwarding at the donor switch may be used to provide the Location routing Number for the originating switch to include in the Initial Address Message.

Abstract: Nanocomposites are manufactured by combining an EVOH matrix polymer and exfoliated intercalates formed by contacting a phyllosilicate with a non-EVOH intercalant to adsorb or intercalate the intercalant between adjacent phyllosilicate platelets.  Sufficient intercalant is adsorbed between adjacent phyllosilicate platelets to expand the adjacent platelets to a spacing of at least about 5 .ANG., preferably at least about 10 .ANG. (as measured after water removal), up to about 100 .ANG. and preferably in the range of about 30-40 .ANG., so that the intercalate easily can be exfoliated, e.g., when mixed with the EVOH matrix polymer melt, to provide an EVOH matrix polymer/platelet composite (nanocomposite) material that does not degrade the EVOH matrix polymer.

Abstract: There are wheeled business cases specifically designed to fit a small, single purpose auxiliary case in which the user can store and transport the laptop computer and a few papers or the like. In this way, the user need not wheel the entire case into a business meeting. Unfortunately, this modular approach requires the user to leave most of the business papers and computer related equipment behind in the main wheeled case. Other cases tend to look and act like large luggage cases. and are not well organized for business away from the office. The disclosed business case simultaneously organizes and provides ready access to the contents such that the user can easily reach most of the needed materials contained in its compartments and thus not have to remove such from the case. This wheeled business case has a distinctive steering handle system that stores in a centrally located, padded wall. This arrangement presents compartments that can be accessed through both main walls of the case. There is also an access flap 52 which has support straps 49 sewn to opposite sides and releasably fastened to the adjacent inside surfaces of the side walls. These straps are the proper length to permit the shelf access flap 52 and its attached divider 46 to pivot out from its stored position (shown in dotted lines in Figure 5) to its deployed position shown.

Abstract: A remote vehicle disabling and distress indicator system for a motor vehicle that is activated by an external telephone call or internally by one of two switches.  The telephone call sends a signal received by a modular telephone stored in the vehicle that disables the vehicle by deactivating the ignition coil or substantially closing a fuel valve that controls fuel  flow between the vehicle  fuel  tank and the vehicle engine.   The signal also causes a distress sign at the top of the vehicle to be illuminated.  In addition,  the signal activates a tape machine that plays a prerecorded distress  tape message through speakers that send a loud audible reproduction of the taped message internally and externally to the motor vehicle  to  attract  the  attention  of  any  local population.  The taped message may be any of a variety of messages, such as "HELP!", "CALL THE POLICE!", etc.
