Patent CA-2182015-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DODGE DAVID J
IPC: A63C10/24
Filed: 1995-01-25
Abstract: A snowboard ratchet-type buckling arrangement (12) includes a housing (18) and a strap (20) slidably received within the housing (18). The strap (20) has a tack of teeth (22) on its upper surface. A tab (32) is pivotally mounted to the housing (18) about a first axis (26) and is spring-biased (36) into engagement with the rack of teeth (22) on the strap (20). The tab (32) allows the strap (20) to move in a first direction and prevents movement of the strap (20) in a second direction. A lever arm (24) is pivotally mounted about the housing (18) about the first axis (26) and a second axis (30) which is spaced from the first axis (26). When the lever arm (24) is pivoted about the second axis (30), saw teeth (38) engage the rack of teeth (22) on the strap (20) to incrementally ratchet the strap (20) through the housing (8) in the first direction.

Title: Method for controlling the power to be transferred via a mains inverter
Inventor: HARMOINEN MARTTI
IPC: H02P21/22
Filed: 1995-05-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling the power to be transferred via a mains inverter, the mains inverter (VVS) being arranged to transfer electric power in both directions between the n-phase AC main system (U) and the DC intermediate circuit (1).  According to the method, the power desired to be transferred is controlled by defining reference values (Tref, Vvvs-ref) for the torque and flux of the mains inverter and comparing them with the actual values (T, Vvvs) of the corresponding variables in order to generate signals adjusting the switch positions of the mains inverter in the direction increasing or decreasing the flux and correspondingly in the direction increasing or decreasing the torque, said actual values being determined by determining the position and length of the current vector (I) of the mains inverter by measuring the current (Ia, Ic) of n-1 phases of the AC main system, determining the flux (Vvvs) generated by the mains inverter as an integral of the voltage vector defined on the basis of the voltage measurement (Uc) of the intermediate circuit and data on the switch positions of the mains inverter, and determining the torque (T) generated by the mains inverter as a cross product of said current vector (I) and said flux vector (Vvvs).

Title: Member and tube assembly and method
Inventor: RIDENOUR RALPH G
IPC: F23D14/64
Filed: 1996-04-17
Abstract: A tube and fitting assembly is made by the method of relatively moving a tube into an internal bore in a fitting with the internal bore extending end-to-end in the fitting, longitudinally compressing the tube to radially expand it into engagement with the wall of the internal bore, internally threading either the tube or the fitting and with the threads being adapted to receive a second member until it is sealed fluid-tight against the tube and there is therefore no need for a fluid-tight seal between the tube and the first fitting. The invention is also the tube and fitting as constructed by such method. The foregoing Abstract is merely a resume of general applications, it is not a complete discussion of all principles of operation or applications, and is not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claimed subject matter.

Title: Detection and protection circuit for fluorescent lamps operating at failure mode
Inventor: HUA JENKIN P
IPC: H05B41/285
Filed: 1997-03-05
Abstract: A circuit for protecting fluorescent lamps connected to a high frequency electronic ballast has a detecting bridge connected to the fluorescent lamps, an output of the detecting bridge varying linearly with a difference between a highest and a lowest voltage across the fluorescent lamps. A timer is connected to the detecting bridge output, and a trigger is connected to an output of the timer, the trigger being responsive to an over-voltage condition of a fluorescent lamp operating at failure mode. A controllable switch is connected across the fluorescent lamps, the controllable switch being controlled by an output of the trigger. The controllable switch, when closed, shorts the fluorescent lamps between their terminals, to protect the circuit when one or more fluorescent lamps are operating at failure mode or at the end of their operating life. A controller may be connected to a voltage-divided output of the detecting bridge, the output of the controller being fed back, and connected to, the high frequency electronic ballast. The ballast may then be shut down, or the output of the controller may be connected to a dimming circuit to dim the fluorescent lamps.

IPC: G21F9/30
Filed: 1997-06-11
Abstract: An improved process for the chemical decontamination of large  volume  (small  surface  to  volume  ratios)  components contaminated with uranium.   Chemical cleaning solvent made up from  a  unique  combination  of  a  chelating  agent,  ammonium carbonate, ammonium hydroxide, and hydrogen peroxide is applied in a foam state.  The application temperature ranges up to 150°F, but is particularly effective at room temperatures. A surfactant added to the solution acts as a foaming agent.   The prepared solution is foamed and transferred into the component so that foam fills all voids in the component.  As the foam condenses, the  solvent  wets  the  surfaces  and  dissolves  the  uranium.     Condensed foam is collected and returned to the foam generator for reuse.

Title: Distribution and controlled use of software products
Inventor: LAROSE GORDON EDWARD
IPC: G06F21/12
Filed: 1997-06-27
Abstract: A software product is modified so that it can be freely distributed while limiting its use to authorized subscribers. The modification includes replacing calls to relocatable subroutines in the software product by calls to redirection software, which is added to the software product together with authorizing software. A table of information on the replaced calls is supplied securely to an authorization agent, with which the authorizing software communicates on execution of the modified software product. An authorized subscriber supplies local data specific to its environment to the authorization agent, which encodes the table in dependence upon the local data and the authorizing software and supplies it to the authorized subscriber. Tampering with the authorizing software, or different local data of others, prevents use of the table. The redirection software decodes a target address for each replaced call during execution of the software, without decoding of the table or restoring the software to its original form. Alternatively, the redirection software can be supplied to the authorized subscriber by the authorization agent.

The cam bushing one side is axially biased toward the housing one side. A lock link is operatively connectable to a window lock for operating a lock in response to pivoting of the lock link, and is pivotally connected to thecam bushing.

Title: Dual thermal and ultraviolet curable powder coatings
Inventor: SHAH NAVIN B
IPC: C08F290/12
Filed: 1997-12-22
Abstract: Opaquely pigmented or thick filmed powder coatings for heat sensitive substrates, such as wood, wood composites, for example, medium density fiber board, and plastics, that can be fully cured, especially near the substrate, through the incorporation of a dual cure system in the powder comprising a thermal initiator, such as a peroxide, along with a UV initiator. The UV initiator cures the surface, while the thermal initiator cures at the substrate. Surprisingly, virtually no pregelation occurs during the heated melt and flow out step prior to UV curing. Consequently, the hardened film finish formed on the surface exhibits exceptional smoothness which is comparable to that of traditional UV curable powders. The hardened film finish is also fully cured throughout and exhibits exceptional adhesion to the substrate which cannot be achieved with traditional UV curable powders that have been pigmented. Although the dual cure system includes a thermal aspect, these powder coatings are especially suited for coating heat sensitive substrates. The dual thermal and UV curable powders still cure at significantly lower temperatures and significantly faster rates than traditional heat curable powders to make them safe for coating heat sensitive substrates.
