Patent CA-2617502-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHMID CHRISTIAN
IPC: C25D17/08
Filed: 2006-08-09
Abstract: In order to treat solar cells (26) in an electroplating device (30), they can be inserted into a grid-like or tray-like picking-up device (11). They are thus mechanically held and electrical contact is made with them via contacts (24). Instead of individual solar cells (26), the picking-up devices (11) are moved with a large number of inserted solar cells through the electroplating device (30) for treatment. Electrical contact is in this case made with the solar cells (26) by means of the contacts (24) and the frame limbs (12, 14) on a projecting angle section (16) together with edge strips (17) of the pick-up.  Contact rollers (42) rest on the edge strips and are connected to an electrical power source (44).
Patent CA-2618059-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHUNG STANLEY
IPC: E05C1/10
Filed: 2008-01-14
Abstract: Un verrou pour un châssis de fenêtre comprend une plaque fixe et une tête de verrou couplée par glissement à la plaque fixe. La tête de verrou est actionnée par un ressort de manière symétrique pour minimiser la rotation lorsque la tête de verrou se déplace. Lorsque la tête de verrou se rétracte vers les plaques fixes, les crochets de la tête de verrou engagent les coches sur la plaque fixe afin de bloquer la tête de verrou en position rétractée. La tête de verrou est alors libérée de sorte que le châssis de fenêtre peut être ouvert. Le verrou comprend également un plongeur reçu de manière centrale dans la plaque fixe et la tête de verrou. Lorsque le plongeur se rétracte vers la plaque fixe, les épaulements biaisés du plongeur dégagent les crochets de la tête de verrou sur la plaque fixe. La tête de verrou est alors engagée de sorte que le châssis de fenêtre est verrouillé.

Title: Method and apparatus for feeding a tunnel roof support system from the roof shield of a tbm
Inventor: MCNALLY MICHAEL P
IPC: E21D9/06
Filed: 2000-01-28
Abstract: A primary support for a tunnel roof comprising elongated lagging members which are "extruded" from tubes forming a shield for a tunnel boring machine.     The lagging is inserted into the tubes at different times so as to avoid having the ends of adjacent lagging members coincide. As the tunneling machine progresses in the direction of boring, the lagging members emerge from the shield tubes to form a primary tunnel roof lining. Ring beams or arc beams may be installed as required by means of rock bolts or other fastening means.

Ces structures de données peuvent être fixes ou variables. Un indicateur de type de structure de données peut être introduit dans le flux de bits de façon à permettre à un décodeur de déterminer le type de la structure de données et à appeler un processus de décodage approprié. La structure de données peut comprendre des informations de position qui peuvent être utilisées par un décodeur pour identifier la fenêtre correcte pour laquelle un ensemble de paramètres donné est appliqué. Des informations de position de fenêtre peuvent être codées soit avec un nombre de bits fixe soit avec un nombre de bits variable à partir du type de structures de données indiqué par l'indicateur de type de structure de données. Pour des types de structures de données variables, des informations de position de fenêtre peuvent être codées avec un nombre de bits variables à partir de la position de cette fenêtre dans l'ensemble ordonné de fenêtres.

Title: Narrow slot roller and guide system for high density mobile storage systems
Inventor: TOURDOT MATTHEW A
IPC: B61B13/00
Filed: 2008-05-29
Abstract: A narrow slot roller and guide system for high density mobile storage systems having a plurality of storage units. The roller and guide system includes a longitudinally extending axial guide defining a first slot in a floor and a drive rail parallel thereto defining a second slot in the floor. The axial guide includes a roller arrangement adapted to engage a downwardly extending guide member coupled to the carriage of the storage units. The engagement of the roller arrangement and guide member serves as a guide for the storage units as the storage units are moved axially along the axial guide and drive rail.  Further, the present invention limits the width of the first and second slots to a very narrow width, e.g. less than one half inch, thereby easily permitting disabled individuals to freely travel across a floor in which the roller and guide system is mounted. The roller and guide system may include an anti-tip assembly to prevent the tipping of the storage units as the storage units are moved along the axial guide and drive rail.

Title: Crosslinked, degradable polymers and uses thereof
Inventor: BURDICK JASON ALAN
IPC: C07C327/00
Filed: 2007-06-05
Abstract: Acrylate-terminated poly(beta-amino esters) are cross-linked to form materials useful in the medical as well as non-medical field. The polymeric starting material is combined with a free radical initiator, either a thermal initiator or a photoinitiator, and the mixture for cross-linking is heated or exposed to light depending on the initiator used. The resulting materials due to the hydrolysable ester bond in the polymer backbone are biodegradable under physiological conditions. These cross-linked materials are particular useful as drug delivery vehicles, tissue engineering scaffolds, and in fabricating microdevices. The materials may also be used as plastics, coating, adhesives, inks, etc. The cross-linked materials prepared exhibit a wide range of degradation times, mass loss profiles, and mechanical properties. Therefore, the properties of the material may be tuned for the desired use. The high-throughput approach to preparing a library of cross-linked poly(beta-amino esters) allows for the rapid screening and design of degradable polymers for a variety of applications.
