Title: Method of making shoulder/nozzles with film barrier liners
Inventor: HERNANDEZ DAVID C
IPC: F16L11/04
Filed: 2008-06-26
Abstract: The method comprises an automated technique for making and inserting flexible laminate film barrier liners into the shoulder/nozzles of product tube packaging. The shoulder/nozzles are made and oriented with the shoulder opening to be facing the laminate film. The film is fed to a station that forms the nozzle aperture, die cuts the laminate film to fit into the shoulder of the shoulder/nozzle, and inserts this laminate film into the shoulder/nozzle. The laminate film can be heat bonded to the shoulder nozzle at this station or in a subsequent sealing station. After the shoulder/nozzle leaves the station that forms and inserts the laminate film into the shoulder/nozzle there can be a detection station to determine if the laminate film is properly aligned in the shoulder/nozzle. There also can be a detection station after a subsequent sealing station. Shoulder/nozzles with sealed laminate film liner are then sent to tube making. The laminate film will have a polymer layer and a barrier layer comprising ethylene vinyl alcohol coploymers, polyethylene terephthalate polymers, polyethylene naphthalate polymers and acrylonitrile methyl-acrylate copolymers The tube packages produced using these shoulder/nozzles are very useful for products which contain flavorants, such as dentifrices.

Abstract: A multi-directional imaging assembly includes a multi-directional imaging bundle having at least two rigid image-conducting branch elements.  Each branch element has opposed image-input and image-output faces and at least one bend between the faces. The branch elements are mutually bound such that the image-input faces are disparately directed and the image-output faces coincide to define a common image-output face. Optically aligned with each image-input face is a focusing element that defines a field of view correlating to a spatial region. An image of the spatial region correlating to the field of view defined by a focusing element is acquired and projected onto the image-input face with which that focusing element is optically aligned. Images conducted through the branch elements, and outputted through the common image-output face, are optically communicated to an image detector array. The image detector array is communicatively linked to a data processing system including image-enhancing algorithms that eliminate redundant content among plural images in order to create a composite image that simulates a single, large-field-of-view image.

Abstract: In the mechanized peeling of shrimp, first (211) and second (212) contacting means are brought in contact with the underside and topside of the shrimp (2), respectively. Squeezing means (214) exert, via said contacting means, a pressing force onto the shrimp. The pressing force moves in a squeezing direction extending from the head and the tail towards the back of the shrimp, so that the armature of the shrimp opens on the backside and the meat of the shrimp is squeezed out of the armature.  During exertion of said pressing force, one or each of said contacting means, when seen in cross-section transverse to said squeezing direction, has a recessed shape (215) on its side facing towards the shrimp.  At least a part of that recessed shape embeds the shrimp during the exertion of said pressing force.

Abstract: A needle tip shielding mechanism is described herein. The shielding mechanism comprises an outer housing, an in-ner housing, and a needle having a needle feature. Generally, the outer housing comprises at least one adapter-interlock feature.  Moreover, the inner housing comprises a needle-feature capture mechanism, such as a washer feature, and a needle-tip capture mechanism, such as duckbilled tip barrier. In some cases, the inner housing is slidably moveable within the outer housing. In such cases, the inner housing is movable between a first position that biases the adapter-interlock feature into an engaged position and a second position that allows the adapter-interlock feature to move to an unengaged position. This ability to bias the interlock fea-ture in the engaged position and to allow the interlock feature to move to the unengaged position allows the shielding mechanism to be selectively coupled to and released from an interlock-feature mating component within a catheter adapter.

Abstract: The importance of reliable estimate of annual average daily traffic (AADT) for effective planning, design, and management of roads and facilities is well known by transportation engineers. A review of literature shows that most of transportation agencies use Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) functional class approach to assign short-tem traffic counts (STTCs) to permanent traffic counter (PTC) factor groups. This approach assumes roads within a same functional class have similar traffic variations and thus factors derived from the class can be applied to STTCs to account for seasonal variations, which may sometimes produce large AADT  estimation errors. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, all historical counts collected to date from a given road segment are used to create a seasonal traffic pattern. A  Minimum Squared Error (MSE) method is used to calculate the probability of assigning the road segment under investigation to different PTC groups. After a new count is available, the seasonal pattern developed is extended and the probabilities of assigning that road segment to different factor groups is updated using a Bayesian approach. Then factors from the PTC  group with the highest probability is applied to most recent STTC to estimate AADT. The results based on PTC  data from province of Alberta show AADT estimations with the 95th percentile errors around 10%. Embodiments of the present invention contribute to improving the AADT  estimation by constructing seasonal traffic variation profiles using all historical counts available without imposing any additional monitoring cost, or making any change to existing traffic monitoring programs.

Title: Frozen backfill mix formulations and process for use thereof in underground mining applications
Inventor: CLUFF DANIEL LEONARDO
IPC: E21D1/12
Filed: 2010-05-04
Abstract: Formulations are provided for producing structural members or back fill for mine stopes in environments having sub zero temperatures such as permafrost. The formulations having constituents including crushed rock (rockfill) powdered tail-ings, ice and water in specific ratios with attention to the prescribed gradations of the rockfill and tailings. The tailings, a readily available and very finely divided material, fill the naturally existing voids in the rockfill. The gradation of the rockfill and the bulk density of the rockfill establish the rockfill/tailings ratio, which has been determined to lie between 1 and 3 or from 50/50 to about 75/25 for optimum strength. The ice in the mix design arises from the pre-existing moisture content in the rock and tailings, typi-cally 2% to 5% of the rockfill and 8% to 25% for the tailings. The change of state of liquid after to ice on the particle surfaces is the binding mechanism of the system and is enhanced by vigorous mixing.
