Patent CA-2308650-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CIBULSKIS PETER
Filed: 2000-05-17
Abstract: Predicted categories for the known products of a client and for products unknown to the clients are forecasted by reading first and second groups of data. The first group of data relates to product characteristics and provides a baseline. The second group of data relates products of a client to product categories of the client.      Intersection data are determined based upon a commonality between the first and second groups of data, and unknown data are determined based upon a lack of commonality between the first and second groups of data. The intersection data and the unknown data are data mined in order to produce a known data forecast and an unknown data forecast. The known forecast includes predicted product categories for the products of the client, and the unknown forecast includes predicted product categories for the products unknown to the client.

Title: Lockable pill container
Inventor: NOBLE TERRANCE O
IPC: A61J7/04
Filed: 1999-06-21
Abstract: A lockable pill container is disclosed including a main body with a pluralit y of individual compartments for receiving pills. Each compartment has a lid member connected to the main body by a hinge permitting it to be moved betwe en open and closed positions. Each lid member has a downwardly projecting hook member that projects through an opening in the main body when the lid is closed. An elongated locking member is laterally inserted into the main body  and transversely moveable relative to the hook members between first and second positions. In the first position, the elongated locking member engage s the hook members of those lid members that are closed to lock them in the closed position. In the second position, the elongated locking member does n ot engage the hook members which may be opened and closed without the locking function. The elongated locking member is normally biased into the locking position by a transverse member that includes a downwardly projecting, externally accessible transverse member. The transverse member is formed fro m resilient material, which normally biases the elongated locking member to it s first or locking position. The user may press the transverse member and thus  move the elongated locking member against the bias to the second or nonlocki ng position. The elongated locking member may be selectively removed from the pill container to render the locking feature inoperative if the pill contain er is used in an environment where locking is not necessary.

Title: Lubrication system for large diesel engines
Inventor: DRAGSTED JORN
IPC: F01M1/16
Filed: 1999-11-04
Abstract: For the lubrication of the cylinders in marine diesel engines, it is normal practice to supply doses of oil through non-return valves in a ring area of the cylinder in immediate connection with the passage of a piston ring. It i s aimed at providing a more-or-less uniform distribution of the oil along the circumference of the cylinder. However, a considerable variation is ascertained in the wear along this area. With the invention, use is made of a high-pressure injection through atomisation nozzles, so that an outspread oi l mist if formed opposite the individual nozzles, which upon being influenced by the rotating scavenging air in the cylinder is made to impinge against the wall by centrifugal force, and herewith to form a substantially continuous film of oil in a ring area immediately before the passage of the piston ring . There is hereby achieved a good utilisation of the lubricating oil, i.e. a saving in oil, an a reduced and more uniform wear on the cylinder surface, t o which can be added that the oil-dosing times become less critical than with conventional lubrication.
