Patent CA-2311212-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WESTWINKEL FLORIAN G
IPC: E05B9/08
Filed: 2000-06-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a mounting clip used to secure a lock housing within an opening in a storage compartment. The mounting clip is provided with an arcuate clamp to secure the clip to the housing. The clip may be mounted on the housing at a point outside of the compartment, prior to installation of the housing into the opening in the compartment wall. The housing may include a channel or other elements to firmly secure the clip against accidental displacement from the housing during installation or subsequent operation. The clip includes a spring like arm that may be compressed to abut closely against the housing during insertion into the wall of the compartment. After installation is complete, the spring like arm extends away from the housing. When the arm is extended, it presses firmly against the wall of the compartment to prevent removal of the lock housing from the compartment wall.

Title: Molded plastic door skin
Inventor: GAGNE ROBERT J
IPC: E05D15/06
Filed: 2000-07-26
Abstract: A door comprising a laminated panel having a peripheral frame defining the peripheral edge thereof. The laminated panel comprises an outer skin of thermoplastic material impregnated with opaque pigmentation and an inner substrate intimately bonded with the outer skin. The inner substrate is formed of a relatively rigid thermoplastic material impregnated with a filler. The outer skin defines a three dimensional door surface which presents the texture and at least a part of the color of the exterior appearance of the door in use. A method of making the door includes the steps of coextruding the molten material of the outer skin and the molten material of the inner substrate to obtain an intimately bonded laminated continuous sheet, cutting the continuous sheet into blanks, heating a blank to cover the surface of a vacuum forming die having a die surface defining a three dimensional exterior configuration of one surface of the panel and vacuum forming the laminated sheet at a temperature rendering the substrate pliable and near liquid with the outer skin in engagement with the die surface to form a relatively rigid door panel when cooled. After trimming the vacuum formed panel, a door can be formed from the panel by applying the metal trim frame to the periphery of the panel. The laminated panel and peripheral frame can be used as a closet door or the like. A two sided door can be formed by mounting two spaced panels on a peripheral frame and injecting a foamed plastic material impregnated with a filler in the space defined by the panels and the peripheral frame.

Title: Electromagnetic logging tool with reflector for directional sensing
Inventor: SINCLAIR PAUL L
IPC: G01V3/28
Filed: 1999-01-08
Abstract: A directional induction logging tool is provided for measurement while drilling. This tool is preferably placed in a side pocket of a drill collar, and it comprises transmitter (16) and receiver (18, 20) coils and an electromagnetic reflector (38). The reflector (38), which may be a lyer of highly conductive material placed between the coils and the body of the drill collar (12), serves to focus the electromagnetic fields generated and sensed by the tool in the direction away from the reflector (38), thus providing a directional response to formation conductivity with a relatively high depth of investigation. In preferred embodiments of the invention, magnetically permeable cores are placed within the coils to concentrate the magnetic fields that pass through them. Circuitry is described for balancing the mutual inductive coupling of the coils by injecting a direct current signal through one or more of the coils, which alters the magnetic permeability of the core material. The magnitude of the direct current required to achieve a balanced condition may be derived from the quadrature phase component of the return signal. Circuitry is also provided for generating a transmitted signal and for processing the return signals, including digital-to-analog conversion circuitry for providing digital data for transmission to the surface. This tool may be employed to provide real-time directional conductivity information that may be used to detect and follow bed boundaries in geosteering operations.

Patent CA-2329903-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MONTEMURRO MICHAEL P
IPC: H04M3/523
Filed: 2000-12-28
Abstract: A method, apparatus, and customer contact or call server that provides a unified queuing mechanism for queuing multiple media requests. The queuing mechanism includes one or more skillsets each including an idle agent queue and a pending requests queue. Skillsets are assigned interrupt levels defining the importance of skillsets with respect to each other. Agents are assigned to and queued in the idle agent queue of one or more of the skillsets. As media requests are received in the pending requests queues of skillsets, agents are dispatched to attend to the requests. As an agent is dispatched from a skillset, it is removed from other skillsets that have an equal or lower interrupt level, and is maintained in skillsets that have a higher interrupt level. Consequently, an agent, tending to a media request, may be interrupted with other media requests only if the other media requests are queued in skillsets of higher inierruptibility level, and if the agent is assigned to those other skillsets. Media requests include, among other things, a voice/video call request, an e-mail request, a web form request, and an outbound voice call request.
