Title: Railway bogie bolster for an articulated wagon
Inventor: CUMMINGS DOUGLAS GORDON
IPC: B61F5/14
Filed: 2003-04-10
Abstract: A bolster 14 for a bogie of an articulated railway wagon is shown including supports for constant contact sidebearers in the form of two pairs of brackets such as 26A and 26B being integral with the bolster 14 at its opposing respective ends. The brackets such as 26A are each adapted for axing of the constant contact sidebearers which in turn are arranged to contact a corresponding wear plate mounted to an articulated connector 50. In a preferred example the corresponding wear plates are mounted to corresponding brackets 52A, 52B which are cast integral with respective male or female articulated connector components 54 or 56. Each bracket 26AB extends laterally from the bolster 14 and, when viewed in plan, each bracket 26A/B has a longitudinal axis of symmetry which is orthogonal to a radius from a central rotational point of the articulated connector 50 of the railway wagon.

Title: Material and method for treatment of timber
Inventor: COBHAM PETER RAYNOR SOUNDY
IPC: B27K3/48
Filed: 2001-12-17
Abstract: A material and method for treating timber. The material comprises a preservative and a carrier. The carrier is selected such that it remains mobile within the wood and provides for migration of the preservative within the treated wood. By providing a carrier which is mobile within the wood, the timber has a 'self healing' effect wherein the carrier/preservative migrates to any freshly cut or exposed surface of the wood to thereby redistribute and treat such a surface within the preservative and hence maintain integrity of a treatment envelope surrounding the wood.
Patent CA-2435969-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCCREA ALBERT R
IPC: B63H1/04
Filed: 2003-07-24
Abstract: A watercraft includes a body arranged to be floatably supported on pontoons and having an occupant seat formed integrally thereon. A pair of paddlewheels positioned rearwardly and on opposing sides of the seat are driven by pedalling action of the occupant. The paddlewheels float in water for partially supporting the body of the watercraft on the surface of a body of water. The wheels each include a continuous peripheral rim surface to protect the paddles which do not project radially beyond the rim surface in shallow water or on land. Locating the wheels rearwardly of the occupant seat can improve manoeuvrability by producing a pushing action on the body of the watercraft to lift the body and reduce drag as it is propelled through the water.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program for coding video frames in a video compression system. One aspect includes automatically scaling coding mode biases as a function of the number of bits of coding precision in the video compression system, or dynamic range and/or contrast range, or quantization parameter. Another aspect includes selecting coding mode biases as a function of the total number of bits required for macroblock coding, or setting all biases to zero. Another aspect includes selecting one of a plurality of coding modes (1) resulting in no more than a selected number of coded bits, or (2) having at least a selected image quality, or (3) having a combination of number of coded bits and image quality. Another aspect includes selecting, as a preferred coding mode, one of a plurality of coding modes having a selected combination of number of coded bits and image quality based on various AC and DC motion vectors. Another aspect includes selecting, as a preferred frame coding choice, one of a plurality of frame coding choices having a selected combination of number of coded bits and image quality. The number of coded bits can also be determined for a set of selected quantization parameter (QP) values or quantization frequency weighting matrices, for each frame coding choice. This approach may also be used to select a preferred QP value or quantization frequency weighting matrix.

Title: System and method for controlling an aircraft
Inventor: CLARK WALTER D
IPC: B64C1/00
Filed: 2002-08-13
Abstract: A system for controlling an aircraft includes an airframe, a first airfoil (40), and a second airfoil (50). At least a portion of the first airfoil (40 ) and the second airfoil (50) are controllably deflectable so that, during a roll maneuver, the first airfoil (40) generates increased lift and a consequent increased drag, and the second airfoil (50) generates negative li ft and a consequent increased drag, the increased lift and the decreased lift generating a roll moment, and the increased drag of the second airfoil producing a yaw moment that counteracts the yaw moment produced by the increased drag of the first airfoil (40) such that no substantial change in aircraft yaw moment occurs. The drag on the down-going wing may counteract t he drag on the up-going wing by having a reduced area providing the down-going force so that it has to deflect to the point that it is producing not only less, but actually negative lift.
