Patent CA-2268826-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAYASHI KAORU
IPC: A23G9/34
Filed: 1997-10-16
Abstract: The first invention relates to a sherbet which contains erythritol and has a soft texture; and a process for the production thereof. The second invention relates to an erythritol-containing alcoholic soft sherbet which can be utilized as a soft-ice-cream-like frozen alcoholic beverage; a process for the production thereof; and an aqueous solution to be used as the raw material for the production of the erythritol-containing sherbet. The first invention provides a low-calorie sherbet which exhibits a low hardness in a frozen state even though it contains erythritol, and therefore has a soft texture permitting easy penetration of a spoon even just after it has been taken out of a freezer. The second invention provides an erythritol-containing alcoholic soft sherbet which has a low calorific value, low sweetness and a low sugar content and which can be prepared even in the freezing compartment of a home refrigerator by freezing the above aqueous solution into a soft-ice-cream-like state and can be utilized as a soft-ice-cream-like frozen alcoholic beverage.

Title: De-tensioning and breakdown system for a compound bow
Inventor: BRESETTE DOUGLAS T
IPC: F41B5/10
Filed: 1999-06-02
Abstract: A foldable archery bow has a center section and two flexible arms extending in substantially opposite directions, describing a bow plane, and a separation interface disposed in the center section and positioned to allow the bow to be separated into to separate sections. At least one latching connector is attached to a first point on one of the flexible arms, and is adapted, when the flexible arm to which it is attached is substantially flexed, to latch at a second point on the same side of the separation interface as the first point. By drawing the bow, which flexes the flexible arms, and latching the latching connector, all tension is released from the bow string or strings, and all forces thereby removed from the separation interface.     The separation interface, normally fastened in a closed position, may then be unfastened and separated, allowing the bow to divide into the two separate sections forming a smaller package than in the assembled aspect.      The bow may be again set up by aligning and refastening the separation interface, drawing the bow, and unlatching the connector, restoring the same tension to the bow that it had before folding. In some embodiments a hinge is employed at the separation interface, allowing the bow to fold, and a variety of force removal mechanisms are taught.

Title: Cooling device in outboard engine system
Inventor: MIYAKE MAKOTO
IPC: F02B61/04
Filed: 1999-09-27
Abstract: In an outboard engine, a support member for supporting a drive shaft and an exhaust pipe within an extension case can be cooled by outside water pumped by utilizing the exhaust pressure from the engine. The inside of the extension case is divided, by the support member for supporting the drive shaft and the exhaust pipe, into an upper chamber communicating with the open air, and a lower chamber into which outside water is introduced, so that the exhaust gas from the exhaust pipe is discharged into the lower chamber. Both the upper and lower chambers are in communication with each other through a communication pipe. Thus, during operation of the engine, the support member and the depending members are cooled by the outside water forced up from the lower chamber through the communication pipe into the upper chamber.

Title: Conduit and cable bypass for downhole tools
Inventor: PATEL PRASHANT
IPC: E21B33/129
Filed: 2000-03-17
Abstract: A structure and technique is disclosed to allow passing control lines, conduits or cables of all sorts through a downhole tool. The assembly provides for passage of the conduit or cable through and into the bore of the downhole tool, protected by an internal carrier.
