Title: Method and arrangement for severing and controlled cooling of individual rods from a rolled section
Inventor: STODT ROLF
IPC: B23D33/02
Filed: 1995-05-25
Abstract: A method and an arrangement for severing and controlled cooling of individual rods from a rolled section, particularly from a section of preferably high-grade steel which emerges hot from rolling at final speed from the rolling line of a finishing train, wherein the section is divided during its passage through parting shears into cut lengths and wherein a cut length each is conveyed after severing to an annealing strip or an annealing furnace.  The rolled section is supplied to parting shears whose knives rotate on both sides of the section in a horizontal plane and which, when severing the section, displace the resulting section ends in the horizontal plane laterally relative to each other by a certain distance.

Title: Method and apparatus for determination of chemical species in perspiration
Inventor: SCHOENDORFER DONALD W
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 1993-12-13
Abstract: A dermal patch (90) to be worn on the skin for increasing the concentration of an analyte expressed through the skin in perspiration to a conveniently measurable level. Included are patches and methods of using such patches to determine the quantity of an analyte in a given volume of perspiration, to determine a subject's sensitivity to an allergen, to allow an analyte to be detected with conventional detection systems, and to dissolve the structural components of a patch to facilitate analyte detection. In addition, by delivering electricity to the patch, adding a buffer to the concentration zone (14) of the patch, or otherwise controlling the pH of fluids entering the patch, analytes in perspiration can be concentrated on the patch without the occurrence of significant back-diffusion of the analytes. Also, by generating heat on the surface of the skin of a subject wearing the patch, perspiration can be collected over a much shorter period of time, preferably over the course of about an hour.
Patent CA-2153005-A1 (CA)
Title: Methods of inserting tubing into live wells
Inventor: FUNK KELLY
IPC: E21B23/00
Filed: 1995-06-29
Abstract: A method of inserting tubing into a live well bore, includes attaching a resilient piston to a lower end of the tubing, lowering the piston into a passage at a well head to locate the piston in a position above a closure which prevents the escape of fluid from the well bore through the passage, sealing the passage around the tubing above the piston and opening a path of communication between the well bore below the closure and a portion of the passage above the piston to equalize the hydraulic pressure above the piston with that below the closure. The closure is then opened and fluid is pumped from a fluid reservoir into the passage above the piston to force the piston and the tubing downwardly in the well bore. Subsequently, the piston and the tubing are allowed to descend under gravity while fluid flows upwardly in the well bore past the piston by deformation of the piston by the pressure of the fluid.

Patent CA-2153101-A1 (CA)
Title: Snowmobile transmission jackshaft
Inventor: RIOUX ROGER
IPC: B62M27/02
Filed: 1995-06-30
Abstract: In a snowmobile drive train the variable ratio belt drive is not directly coupled to the engine crankshaft as in the prior art, but rather the driving pulley of the variable ratio belt drive is carried on one end of a jackshaft and the engine power is applied to the opposite end of the jackshaft. The jackshaft is supported in a fixed bearing in the vehicle frame, this bearing being immediately adjacent to the driving pulley so that the influence on the belt drive of vibrations generated by the engine is vastly diminished. Therefore the engine mounts can be arranged to fully absorb vibrations of the engine.      Previously, when the driving pulley was directly coupled to the engine crankshaft it was necessary to include a tie restraint to limit movements of the engine housing in the direction of separation between the axes of the driving and driven pulleys.

Patent CA-2189244-A1 (CA)
Title: Harmonic phase modulation error reducer
Inventor: AUGUST RICHARD J
IPC: G02B6/00
Filed: 1995-05-31
Abstract: In a fiber optic rotation sensor, a portion of the coiled optical fiber is a part of and affected by a bias optical phase modulator which causes a varying phase relationship between the light waves at a fundamental frequency. However, the varying phase relationship has at least one harmonic which is due to mechanical vibration of the optical fiber that is a part of the modulator. This harmonic contributes to an erroneous indication of rotation. The amplitude of such harmonic is reduced by lowering the Q of the resonating fiber. This is effected by applying a damping material to the optical fiber and a portion of the modulator. A photodetector detects the counter-propagating waves and sends a corresponding electrical signal on to a signal component selection device that provides an indication of sensed rotation, including error due to the mechanically resonating optical fiber of the modulator.

Title: Process for monitoring electrical wear on high-voltage switchgear
Inventor: MARMONIER JEAN
IPC: H01H1/00
Filed: 1997-04-11
Abstract: The monitoring method is applied to the switching isolators (S11,S12) of one bay of a substation having a set of distribution busbars (B1,B2) connected to at least three circuits comprising input and output bays and a busbar coupling bay. When a bay is transferred under load and its computer (C1) detects closure of its isolators, a message is sent to other computers (C2-C4) which record the value and direction of current in their own bays. When opening is detected of the isolator (S11) of the line to the busbar (B1) whose distribution is transferred, the foregoing data are memorised and the square of the interrupted current is computed.
Patent CA-2202725-A1 (CA)
Title: Video storage
Inventor: BOPARDIKAR RAJU C
IPC: G11B27/034
Filed: 1997-04-15
Abstract: Video data in the form of a plurality of digitised frames, is stored on a plurality of magnetic disks. Each image frame is striped across a plurality of disks and redundant parity information, derived from the stripes, is written to an additional disk. Disk failure is detected and in response to this detection missing data is regenerated from the parity information. This allows the transfer of video data in real time to be maintained for output so that the system remains operational. While data is being read in real time, derived from regenerated data, the regenerated data is written to an operational disk, thereby reprotecting the data in the event of a subsequent failure. Frame supplied to output are labelled as being protected or unprotected and application programs may respond to this status information as considered appropriate.
