Abstract: A twin layer packaging machine is disclosed for packing cartons with articles such as beverage cans in two layers, a top layer overlying a bottom layer. The packaging machine has a selector flight defining selector bays, a can flight defining can bays, and a carton flight transporting cartons to be packed, all synchronously movable with each other. A single infeed assembly at the upstream end of the machine directs first groups of cans into selector bays on the selector flight, sweeps them into adjacent can bays, and directs second groups of cans into the same selector bays, all on the same level. The selector flight and the second groups of cans in its selector bays then ramps up to an elevated level, from where the second groups of cans are swept from the selector bays into the adjacent can bays atop the already loaded first groups of cans. The thus staged twin layer cans are then pushed into open cartons on the carton flight, whereupon the cartons are closed and sealed.

Title: System and method for completing a transaction with a payment terminal
Inventor: HAYHOW ROBERT
IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 2013-03-25
Abstract: A method of completing a transaction with a payment terminal involves the payment terminal transmitting to a network gateway via a first communications network a transaction proposal identifying a proposed transaction with a network device, and receiving from the network gateway a transaction proposal response in response to the transaction proposal. The transaction proposal response specifies a pointer to the proposed transaction. The network gateway is configured to authenticate to the network device via a second communications network that comprises the network device. The payment terminal transmits over a payment network, distinct from the communications networks, payment particulars for the proposed transaction, and receives from the payment network a payment confirmation in response to the payment particulars. In accordance with the payment confirmation, the payment terminal initiates completion of the proposed transaction by generating a transaction completion request and transmitting the transaction completion request to the network device via the network gateway.  The transaction completion request is generated from the transaction pointer, and requests completion of the proposed transaction with the network device.

Title: Bloc-poutre isolant a deux parois de beton
Inventor: INCONNUE
IPC: E04C1/41
Filed: 2013-06-03
Abstract: Il s'agit de blocs de béton de grandes dimensions destinées à la construction des murs extérieurs de bâtiments. Les blocs assemblés forment la face extérieure et intérieure des murs et comprennent l'isolant. Ces faces peuvent avoir l'aspects de différents matériaux de finition, pierre, brique, bois, etc. Le concept permet le montage progressif de murs porteurs en plaçant les blocs les uns sur les autres. Depuis les années 70, les normes d'économie d'énergie imposent des caractéristiques d'isolation thermique et d'étanchéité de plus en plus sévères. Les méthodes de construction traditionnelles sont devenues plus complexes pour satisfaire ces critères de performance. Ce nouveau concept permet de construire rapidement des bâtiments d'aspect moderne répondant adéquatement aux exigences de performance moderne. Un premier bloc est posé sur la fondation et fixé en place. Puis un deuxième est installé à coté et ainsi de suite. D'autres blocs sont posés sur ceux du premier rang et ancrés à ceux-ci. Le processus se poursuit jusqu'à la hauteur désirée du mur. On doit réaliser des joints étanches et performants entre l'isolant des blocs. Selon les différentes applications, le détail de réalisation de ces joints est primordial pour l'intégrité et l'étanchéité de l'ensemble du mur. On peut alors obtenir un mur à cavités verticales respectant tous les principes de l'écran pare-pluie, d'étanchéité à l'air et d'isolation au froid, en plus d'une bonne isolation acoustique et d'une masse thermique appréciable.
