Patent CA-2197967-A1 (CA)
Title: Tiltable sled
Inventor: BERGERON GAETAN GEDEON
IPC: B62B13/08
Filed: 1997-02-19
Abstract: A sled having a frame with a seat portion, the frame being supported by two runners each located under one side of the frame, wherein each of the runners is movably connected to the frame by several levers. Each lever is mounted on the frame by a transverse pivot and each has a lower end connected to the runner, the levers allowing the runner connected thereto to move downwardly  from a  retracted position to  an extended position at which latter position the side of the sled above that runner is lifted relative to a snow surface under the runner. A foot pedal may be provided on each side of the frame positioned for use by an occupant of the seat portion and connected to the levers so that pressure on a pedal on one side of the frame causes the levers on that side to extend the runner connected thereto, thus tilting the sled relative to the snow surface.

Title: Automated lane definition for machine vision traffic detector
Inventor: BRADY MARK J
IPC: G08G1/04
Filed: 1996-01-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus defines boundaries of the roadway and the lanes therein from images provided by real-time video. The images of the roadway are analyzed by measuring motion between images and detecting edges within motion images to locate edges moving parallel to the motion of the objects, such as vehicles, thereby defining the approximate boundaries of a lane or roadway. A  curve is then generated based on the approximate boundaries to define the boundaries of the lane or roadway.
Patent CA-2209448-A1 (CA)
Title: Means and method for deterring lint and debris accumulation on the knitting instruments of a knitting machine
Inventor: GUTSCHMIT ALAN
IPC: D04B35/32
Filed: 1997-07-02
Abstract: The accumulation of lint, debris and other contaminants in the needle and dial slots of a circular knitting machine can be significantly reduced by enclosing an annular air chamber spanning between the cylinder and dial and delivering a pressurized airstream into the chamber. The airstream can necessarily escape from the chamber only upwardly through the spacing between the cylinder and dial where the airstream serves to blow lint, debris and contaminants away from the critical knitting elements (e.g., needles and sinkers) and prevent the accumulation of such materials within the cylinder and dial slots. The conventional need for flushing the cylinder slots can be reduced or eliminated.
Patent CA-2209876-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GREEN ALAN E
IPC: B66F9/12
Filed: 1997-07-04
Abstract: This invention relates to a hanger to be used on the fork of a material handling vehicle, particularly a lift truck. Hangers welded onto the shank of lift truck forks engage on carriage bars mounted on the carriage of the material handling vehicle. In order to facilitate lateral sliding of the fork and hanger along the carriage bar to adjust the location of the fork on the lift truck vehicle, the hanger has special configuration. The surfaces of the hanger which engage a support surface of the carriage bar have lateral edges. The lateral edges are relieved. The relieved portion eliminates a sharp corner which might otherwise dig into the carrige bar during lateral movement and also assists in directing any lubricant on the carriage bar under the engaging surface rather than scrapping the lubricant off.

Title: Yeast leavened baked goods and fruit based shelf life extender composition therefor
Inventor: MILLER VAN
IPC: A21D2/00
Filed: 1997-08-27
Abstract: A shelf life extender composition will decrease the staling rate of yeast leavened baked goods by at least 10%, and generally up to 40%, when the baked goods are shelf stored at temperatures ranging from about 4°C up to 22°C. The shelf life extender composition comprises a mixture of fruit pectin and fruit fibre, in the range of 20% up to 60% by weight of fruit pectin, with the balance of the mixture being fruit fibre. The shelf life extender is incorporated into the dough formulations for yeast leavened baked goods as an initial constituent, in an amount of 1% up to 5% by weight of the flour constituent of the dough formulation. After baking and cooling, considerably improved softness of the baked goods can be noted for periods of up to 12 to 14 days. By reducing the rate of staling, which is determined by measuring the softness of the stored baked goods over time, and noting that baked goods incorporating the shelf life extender composition are softer than those which do not, over time, the shelf life of those baked goods has therefore been increased. Since the shelf life extender composition is derived from fruits, particularly citrus fruits but also apples, the shelf life of the baked goods incorporating the shelf life extender is improved without the use of chemical or non-naturally occurring additives.

Title: Use of a high purity imidazoline based amphoacetate surfactant as foaming agent in oil wells
Inventor: DINO DAVID JOSEPH
IPC: C09K8/38
Filed: 1996-05-20
Abstract: Increased foam quality and resistance to hydrocarbon defoaming for foams used in well boring and stimulation processes as well as secondary and tertiary oil recovery is obtained using imidazoline-based amphoacetates of higher purity, containing essentially negligible amounts of unalkylated amido amines, lower amounts of glycolic acid salts and monochloroacetate salts. The higher purity amphoacetates can be obtained via processes utilizing precise pH control during the reaction of imidazoline, or its open-chain derivatives, with alkylating agents, e.g. sodium monochloroacetate. Thse higher-purity amphoacetates contain essentially fully alkylated products and lower amounts of glycolic acid derivatives, even though a ratio of monohaloalkylate to substituted imidazoline, or its open-ring derivative, of less than 1.5:1.0 and close to 1.0:1.0 is used.

Patent CA-2224392-A1 (CA)
Title: Multi-channel encoder/decoder
Inventor: CARR LARRIE SIMON
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1997-12-09
Abstract: A multi-channel network device, for interfacing between a plurality of physical data links and a control processor, with each physical data link characterized by a data stream of data packets communicated according to a data link control protocol.  The device includes a receive section where incoming data packets are each received in at least one data segment on one of a plurality of receive-side line interfaces.  A receive-side priority encoder circuit services incoming data segments arriving on the receive-side line interfaces and pipelines the incoming data segments to a receive-side channel assigner circuit for channel assignment.          A receive-side data processor coupled to the receive-side channel assigner circuit decodes ones of the incoming data segments.  A receive-side packet buffer processor coupled to the receive-side data processor stores incoming data segments in receive-side channel FIFO buffers.  A receive-side packet management circuit coupled to the receive-side packet buffer processor transfers incoming data segments from the receive-side channel FIFO buffers to an external control processor via a control processor interface.  In a transmit section of the device, a transmit-side packet management circuit sorts blocks of outgoing data, each having at least one outgoing data segment and awaiting transmission from the control processor to ones of the physical data links, into linked lists.  Each linked list is associated with one of a plurality of outgoing data channels in the transmit section.          The transmit-side packet management circuit is operative to communicate each block of outgoing data from the control processor to a transmit-side packet buffer processor based on requests for outgoing data transmitted by transmit-side line interfaces.  The transmit-side packet buffer processor is operative to store outgoing data segments of each block of outgoing data received from the transmit-side packet management circuit in transmit-side channel FIFO buffers.          The transmit-side line interfaces are operative to communicate with the physical data links and are monitored for requests for outgoing data by a transmit-side priority encoder circuit. The transmit-side packet buffer processor retrieves outgoing data segments stored in the transmit-side channel FIFO buffers according to the order of the requests for outgoing data, for subsequent transmission by the associated transmit-side line interfaces to ones of the physical data links.  A transmit-side data processor encodes ones of the outgoing data segments retrieved from the transmit-side channel FIFO buffers.  Retrieved outgoing data segments are pipelined to a transmit-side channel assigner for channel assignment prior to transmission on the appropriate transmit-side line interfaces.
