Abstract: On prévoit une méthode et un dispositif pour enlever une lame d'un bâton de hockey. La courroie comprend une première boucle et une deuxième ayant chacune une extrémité' ancrée et reliée à une ouverture respective et une extrémité de resserrement passant, de façon coulissante, à travers l'ouverture respective pour le resserrement de la boucle lorsqu'elle est tirée. L'extrémité de resserrement de la première boucle est ancrée à la deuxième boucle et les ouvertures sont fixées l'une par rapport à l'autre de sorte que lorsque l'extrémité de resserrement de la deuxième boucle est tirée, la deuxième boucle est resserrée et ainsi l'extrémité de resserrement de la première boucle est tirée pour simultanément resserrer la première boucle. La méthode comprend l'insertion de la lame à travers la première boucle et la deuxième respectivement, ce qui chauffe la colle entre la lame et le manche et tire l'extrémité de resserrement de la deuxième boucle hors de portée du manche de manière à resserrer les boucles sur la lame et tirer la lame du manche.

Abstract: A process for making a pants-type diaper without generation of waste material. The pants-type diaper is composed of a body fluid absorbent pad member curved in a U-shape, a front waist member and a rear waist member extending around front and rear waist-halves, respectively.      The front and rear waist members are obtained by feeding first and second elastic members in parallel to each other in a machine direction so as to describe substantially sinusoidal curves, respectively, securing these elastic members to one surface of a web fed in the machine direction and then transversely bisecting the web between the first and second elastic members. The first and second elastic members are symmetric to each other about a center line bisecting the web but phase-shifted with respect to each other in the machine direction by half a cycle of the substantially sinusoidal curve.

Granted: 2010-02-16
Abstract: An automated planer machine for planing a piece of lumber. The planer machine has a feed table for slidably receiving the bottom surface of the piece of lumber along a traveling course. One or more planing heads extend on sides of the traveling course to plane the surfaces of the piece of lumber. A linebar laterally guides the piece of lumber. Feed rolls along the traveling course move the piece of lumber. Positioning devices responsive to respective control signals are provided for adjusting a height of the feed table and planing levels of the planing heads as much when the planer machine is idle as during operation. Position encoders coupled to the feed table and the planing heads produce positional signals usable to accurately position them using the positioning devices.

Abstract: A wood sheathing panel, suitable for use in building construction, includes reinforcement strips of fiber reinforced polymer material incorporated into the panel. The reinforcement strips cover an area that is within the range of from about 5 to about 50 percent of the surface area of the panel. The reinforcement strips of fiber reinforced plastic material can be incorporated in the perimeter of the panel, or can be incorporated into the corners of the panel. The spacing of the intermittently incorporated reinforcement strips can generally coincide with a standard spacing of framing members so that when the wood sheathing panel is applied to a building frame, the reinforcement strips are generally aligned with framing members of the building. Preferably, the reinforcement strips are sufficient to provide an increased ductility over an equivalent unreinforced wood sheathing panel in an amount within the range of from about 75 percent to about 500 percent. A  plurality of the wood sheathing panels of the invention can be assembled together in building construction (10) as one element of a group consisting essentially of shear walls (12, 14, 24, 26), horizontal diaphragms (20, 22) and roof diaphragms (28).

Abstract: A fluid control valve for controlling the delivery of water includes a control lever that is movable in two directions by rotation of the lever about two independent axes. The fluid control valve includes a valve body assembly with flow passageways and a housing assembly attached to the valve body assembly to define an interior space. A flow control mechanism positioned in the interior space is constructed to enable movement of the lever about a first axis for translating rotational movement into sliding motion of an upper disk against a lower dish to adjust the water temperature. Rotation of the lever in a second direction translates rotational movement into sliding motion of the upper disk in a second direction to control the water flow rate. A drag spring positioned as part of the control mechanism changes the frictional force or feel between the two directions of lever movement.

Title: Method of recovering sulfurous components in a sulfur-recovery process
Inventor: LYNN SCOTT
IPC: C01B17/04
Filed: 2002-10-25
Granted: 2010-05-11
Abstract: H2S is removed from an H2s-rich gas (1) and sulfur (60) is produced, by a process in which the H2S-rich gas is reacted with SO2 (24) in a reactor (101) in the presence of an organic solvent and a catalyst. An H2S-containing off-gas (5) is removed from the reactor (101) and is combusted (104) to produce an SO2-rich combustion gas (10). Preferably, the reactor off-gas is combusted with a substoichiometric amount of oxygen so that the combustion gas also contains water vapor and sulfur vapor. The combustion gas is cooled by direct quench (234) or indirect heat exchange to produce an aqueous stream (31) containing primarily water, suspended solid sulfur and polythionic acids (e.g. Wackenroder's liquid), and the aqueous stream is used to provide cooling for the H2S-SO2 reaction. Problems associated with production and handling of Wackenroder's liquids are overcome and sulfur values in these materials are recovered.
