Patent CA-2349122-C (CA)
Inventor: SCHMIDT HANS-JUERGEN
IPC: B64F5/10
Filed: 2001-05-30
Granted: 2008-04-15
Abstract: When stiffening members, such as stringers and frame members, are welded onto a skin sheet to form an aircraft fuselage shell, a crack originating in the skin sheet tends to propagate through the weld joints into the stiffening members. In order to prevent crack propagation into a stiffening member, the stiffening member is reinforced with a web doubler plate or a tension band made of high strength steel or titanium alloys or fiber-reinforced composites. The doubler plate is riveted or adhesively bonded onto a stiffening member web, or the tension band is crimped into the stiffening member web. The resulting fuselage shell struc-ture has crack stopping properties and thus an increased residual strength, so it can be used with welded joints at all areas of the fuselage shell, including the top and sides as well as the bottom of the fuselage.

Granted: 2006-05-30
Abstract: A proton exchange membrane fuel cell including a membrane electrode assembly comprising a proton transmissive membrane, a catalytic anode layer on one face of the membrane, and a catalytic cathode layer on the other face of the membrane. The fuel cell further includes a gas distribution layer on each of the cathode and anode layers defining a gas flow field extending over each of the catalytic layers. The membrane electrode assembly has a convoluted configuration whereby to increase the ratio of membrane area to planar fuel cell area and thereby increase the electrical output of the fuel cell for a given planar area size fuel cell. The convoluted configuration of the membrane electrode assembly also facilitates the division of the gas distribution layers into separate parallel channels thereby allowing the use of an inexpensive foam material for the gas distribution layers irrespective of the inherent variations in porosity of foam materials.

Abstract: The current invention provides a system and method for queuing and distributing requests to one or more query servers. The system contains a first tier queue associated with a server based mechanism for directing service requests to a second tier queue associated with each of the one or more query servers. The current invention provides a "pull" model for the distribution of an initial service request of a query containing two or more service requests. Subsequent service requests from this query are assigned to a query server without being placed in a first tier queue. These subsequent service requests are placed directly in the queue of the query server that handled the previous service request from the same query.

Title: Air filtration system with recessed filter and edge banding
Inventor: RIVERA SAMUEL
IPC: B01D46/00
Filed: 2001-06-14
Granted: 2011-03-22
Abstract: A filtration system comprising a main filter assembly having a frame (18, 20) and filter media (12) comprising pleated sections arranged in a row of V  shapes within the frame (18, 20). The filter media (12) is spaced from an upstream face of the frame a distance sufficient to prevent blinding of the filter media (12) by an upstream filter media (33), thereby eliminating a filtration stage and reducing the volume of the filtration system. Filter media alignment members disposed within the frame (18, 20) assist in holding the filter media sections in alignment within the frame (18, 20). In another embodiment, flexible strips of edge banding, preferably of a filter material, are affixed to adjacent upper and lower longitudinal edges of the sections of the filter media (12). The edge banding minimizes pressure drop across the filter and is simpler and less costly to manufacture.

Title: Ipsec through l2tp
Inventor: HEBRAIS PHILIPPE
IPC: H04L9/00

Granted: 2007-05-22
Abstract: Transmission of IPsec packets from a first IPsec client (12, 120) to a second IPsec client (14, 140) can occur without adverse results due to traversal of a Network Address Translation (NAT) (22, 250 1, 250 2) device, by wrapping the packet in a non-proprietary tunneling protocol format for transmission to a non-proprietary tunneling protocol format server (16, 160). The server creates a non-proprietary tunneling protocol format tunnel (21, 280 1, 280 2) to the destination IPsec client to allow transmission of the packet through the tunnel so as to avoid any deleterious affects associated by traversal of one or more the NAT devices.

Granted: 2010-12-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes that may be used in a number of commercial applications in which a contaminant, such as salt, must be separated from a feed fluid, such as brackish water, to yield a purified product fluid, as well as a method for manufacturing such membranes. According to embodiments of the invention, an aqueous amine solution including an amine, an organic acid (e.g., propionic acid) and a non~amine base is applied to the surface of a porous substrate. A  second solution containing an acyl halide and an organic solvent immiscible in water is then applied to the aqueous amine solution to cause interfacial polymerization to occur. The resulting membranes exhibit superior salt rejection and flux properties.
