Patent CA-2312278-A1 (CA)
Title: Engine controller
Inventor: NISHIMORI JUN
IPC: F02D41/04
Filed: 2000-06-23
Abstract: There is provided an engine controller that prevents the engine operation from being continued due to a throttle valve recovery failure. When a throttle lever is in the unoperated state and the engine revolution higher than a set revolution has remained for a set duration, the engine controller decides that the recovery failure of a throttle valve has occurred and performs a control to stop the operation of the engine. This prevents the engine operation from being continued against the will of the operator in the event that the throttle valve fails to recover. When the engine is used as a motor of a vehicle, for example, the running of the vehicle can be stopped, thus assuring a higher safety.

Title: Staged settling process for removing water and solids from oil sand extraction froth
Inventor: LORENTZ JAMES
IPC: B03B13/00
Filed: 2001-06-11
Abstract: Diluent-diluted bitumen froth containing bitumen and naphtha diluent hydrocarbons, water, sand and fines, (collectively "dilfroth"), is fed into a vapor-tight gravity settler ('splitter') and temporarily retained to therein produce a bottom layer of tails comprising sand and middlings, a rag layer of discrete three-dimensional structures, each comprising hydrocarbons contained in a skin of fines, and a top layer of hydrocarbons containing small droplets of water and fines ('raw dilbit'). The flux in the splitter is less than 6 m3/h of dilfroth fed per m2 of horizontal cross-sectional rag area. The in-coming dilfroth is fed directly into the splitter middlings. Demulsifier is added to the overflow stream of raw dilbit and the mixture is subjected to prolonged settling in a vapor-tight polisher tank, to produce polished dilbit containing less than 1.0 wt. % water and 0.3 wt. % solids. The splitter underflow tails, containing less than 15 wt. % bitumen, is mixed with additional diluent to raise the diluent/bitumen ratio to 4:1 to 10:1 and is gravity settled in a vapor-tight scrubber. Scrubber overflow, mostly diluent containing residual bitumen stripped from the tails, is recycled to the splitter. In concept, the sand is first separated from the bitumen in the stripper. The substantially sand-free bitumen can then feasibly be treated with chemical demulsifier and subjected to prolonged settling in the polisher to reduce water and fines contents to low levels. Bitumen lost with the splitter tails is recovered in the scrubber using a high concentration of diluent. The scrubber overflow of bitumen and diluent is recycled to the stripper to conserve diluent.

Filed: 2001-07-30
Abstract: A touch roller 20 (a driven roller) is mounted on the free end 22a of a support arm 22 that can rotate. A changeover mechanism 26 rotates the support arm 22, thus changing the inclination of the support arm 22. The touch roller 20 is thereby moved between two positions. In the first position, the touch roller 20 is pressed onto a forward driving roller 12. In the second position, the touch roller 20 is pressed onto a reverse driving roller 14. The rollers 12 and 14 are spaced apart from each other. The touch roller 20 may be moved to the third position, where it remains spaced from both the forward driving roller 12 and the reverse driving roller 14. In the second position, the touch roller 20 can be pushed onto the reverse driving roller with a small force or a large force. When the touch roller 20 is pushed onto the reverse driving roller 14 with the small force, the reverse driving roller 14 pulls back a band 15.  When the touch roller 20 is pushed onto the reverse driving roller 14 with the large force, the reverse driving roller 14 tightens the band 15.

Title: Software update method, apparatus and system
Inventor: FRAZER MARK
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2001-09-17
Abstract: A system for remotely updating software on at least one electronic device connected to a network. The electronic devices have a non-volatile re-writable storage unit divided into at least two partitions, one of which will contain core firmware and the other of which will contain auxiliary software. When an update is received at the device, the updated core firmware is written to overwrite the partition in the re-writable storage unit which contained the auxiliary software. When this is completed and verified, the previous version of the core firmware stored in the storage unit is disabled from execution by the device. Next, the updated auxiliary software is written to overwrite the old version of the core firmware. When this write is complete, the device determines a suitable time for it to be rebooted to execute the updated software. In another embodiment, the present core firmware in the device is copied from the partition it is in to the other partition, overwriting the auxiliary software stored there. The new core firmware received to update the device is overwritten into the first partition, the old copied core firmware being present in case of an upgrade failure, and upon a successful update of the first partition, the auxiliary software is written to the second partition, overwriting the copied old core firmware. In this manner, the position of the core firmware and auxiliary software within the partitions is preserved during normal operation of the device.

Patent CA-2362316-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COHEE DONALD R
IPC: B65B1/28
Filed: 2000-02-09
Abstract: An economical and reliable system for the contained transfer of particulates by means of a series of transfer containers (140) facilitates the particulate transfer without either exposure of the operating personnel and the environment to the particulate, or environmental contamination of the particulate itself.  The system employs a multiple o-ring canister assembly (110) which can be attached to either the discharging port (120) or charging port (135) of a piece of processing equipment.  The canister has a series of circumferential o-ring grooves (115) which allows the attachment of a series of individual containers. In a charging mode, once the particulate is charged to the processing equipment, a first transfer container is collapsed and a second transfer container is placed in the next o-ring groove, thereby containing the remaining contaminated section (149) of the first transfer container. The first transfer container is removed through a bag-out sleeve (143) which is an integral part of the second transfer container. The process is repeated in a stepwise fashion by moving to the next groove in the canister until the process equipment is completely charged in a particulate contained manner.
