Title: Method for testing for the presence of a leak hole in a fluid container
Inventor: YOSHIDA KENGO
IPC: G01M3/04
Filed: 2009-01-27
Abstract: The present invention provides an excellent method for detecting a leak hole, the method being advantageous in: that a leak hole can be surely detected when any fluid present in the outside of a tank is caused, by in-ternal decompression of the tank, to infiltrate into any fluid in the inside of the tank through the leak hole;  that any leak hole present at any portion of the entire structure of a tank can be detected; and that the required testing time can be greatly shortened.     The method comprises: (1) closing a mouth of a container containing a fluid, (2) adjusting at least one of the internal pressure and external pressure of the container so that the internal pressure of the container is lower than the external pressure of the container, and applying a reference ultrasonic signal having a predetermined phase to the fluid contained in the container, to thereby obtain a contained fluid ultrasonic signal, and (3) comparing the reference ultrasonic signal and the contained fluid ultrasonic signal with each other, wherein, when the contained fluid ultrasonic signal has a phase difference from the reference ultrasonic signal, and the phase difference continues to increase with the lapse of time, the container is judged to have a leak hole.
Patent CA-2709195-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BAYER ERWIN
IPC: C25D1/02
Filed: 2008-12-05
Abstract: In a method for removing material from a component (10, 10') that is connected as an anode, and wherein an electrode (12) that is connected as a cathode is guided to the component such that a gap (16) is formed, and wherein an electrolyte is introduced into the gap, a closed system is formed for the electrolyte by the formation of a duct. Said electrolyte is continuously guided from an inlet opening to an outlet opening of the duct. Forming the duct, e.g.  by means of guide elements (18) that are mounted on the electrode (12), ensures that only those surface parts of the component (10) to be machined from which material is to be removed enter in contact with the electrode while the other surface parts do not enter in contact with the electrolyte. Since the electrolyte is continuously guided across said surface, used electrolyte is continuously discharged along with residual matter while fresh electrolyte is delivered such that the method can be carried out in a particularly trouble-free and expedient manner.

Abstract: A rack of the type for circulating air interiorly for drying multiple pairs of boots and/or gloves, where the articles to be dried are sprayed with a liquid sterilizing agent while on the rack. The blower housing, manifold and hollow members of the rack have no exterior horizontal surfaces to prevent pooling of the sterilizing agent. In addition, drain holes are provided in the blower housing, rack tubes and manifold to prevent interior trapping of sterilizing agent or moisture from condensation. In one version intended for sterilizing with power connected, a conduit in the manifold drains any liquid in the blower housing directly into the rack tubes. Another lower cost version is intended for sterilizing after electrical power has been externally disconnected and has liquid/moisture drain holes in the blower housing. Either version may be wall mounted or arranged as portable free standing single or double sided rack drying systems.

Title: Resource allocation randomization
Inventor: GAAL PETER
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2009-01-14
Abstract: Different sequence resources can be allocated to a mobile device where the mobile device can exclusively uses the sequence resource with regard to a base station during a communication session. However, if another mobile device using another base station is assigned a matching sequence resource, then there can be interference if the mobile devices are relatively close enough together. Therefore, randomization of the sequence resources can take place -moreover, a cyclic shift result can be employed in sequence resource allocation to attempt to minimize interference.

Title: Wire twisting apparatus
Inventor: CHOUINARD GUY
IPC: B21F7/00
Filed: 2010-10-04
Abstract: A rotating arbor has a hollow interior and a forward end provided with a number of fingers which are spaced apart from adjacent fingers by longitudinally extending slits. The hollow interior and the slits are dimensioned such that a conventional concrete pin may be inserted into the arbor in such a way that the shaft of the pin is within the hollow interior and portions of the head are confined within diametrically opposed slits in the arbor. The arbor and the concrete pin thus rotate together as a unit. Three rollers are situated side by side and a space separates each roller from an adjacent roller. A piece of wire is positioned such that one of its segments extends through one space and extends to and through the aperture in the head of the concrete pin. A  second segment of the wire doubles back from the concrete pin to and through the second space.  As the arbor rotates, the segments of the wire twist around each other to attach them to the pin.  The two segments of wire are used to fasten a concrete ceiling to the framework of the drop ceiling to hold it in place

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour produire une surface (fig. 10), par exemple cylindrique, présentant une structure superficielle à géométrie prédéfinie adaptée à l'application d'une matière par thermo-injection. Selon ce procédé, une structure rainurée géométriquement définie (fig. 10) présentant une profondeur et une largeur réduites est formée au moyen d'un outil, de préférence un outil à suivre (12; fig. 1), dans une surface par exemple cylindrique d'un substrat à revêtir, cette surface étant de préférence préusinée aux dimensions exactes, de telle sorte que la section transversale des rainures est amenée progressivement à une cote finale.
