Patent CA-2341843-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VAUGHN BENNIE JOE
IPC: B60R21/13
Filed: 2001-03-23
Abstract: An operator enclosure for an agricultural tractor has a rollover protective structure (ROPS) in which the front side of the ROPS extends upward above the left, right and rear sides of the ROPS and terminates at a front upper cross member extending laterally between left and right front upright corner members. A  roof pan is placed at the top of the ROPS that has a generally horizontal top panel at about the same height as the front upper cross member. The top panel of the roof curves downward to form left, right and rear side panels extending downward from the top panel to the height of the upper members of the ROPS along the left, right and rear sides. There is no front panel on the roof extending downward from the top panel. The windshield is extended upward into what had previously been the front panel of the roof. This improves the front upward visibility, an feature particularly useful in operating a front end loader on the tractor.

Title: Torsional responsive ski
Inventor: HEUVEL JOHAN G F
IPC: A63C9/08
Filed: 2001-04-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a ski wherein a binding portion transfers torsional and vertical forces from a binding via a torsional responsive element to forward and rearward ski portions and vice versa, urging a controlled twist onto a ski. In a prior art ski, a torsional response of the forward ski portion, relative to the binding is substantially independent of the torsional response of a rearward ski portion, relative to the binding and vice versa. In the ski according to this invention, a torsional responsive element coordinates and transmits vertical and torsional forces from the binding to the forward and rearward ski portions. The torsional response to edging related longitudinal weight shift facilitates the execution of low speed turns (1), provides foot swivel torsional control,(2), and provides ski flexing related advantages associated with longitudinal load distributing structures.(3)

Abstract: An endless belt for use with a heavy duty track vehicle comprises a body made of polymeric material wherein a series of longitudinally spaced guide members are integrally formed to the inner surface thereof while two rows of longitudinally spaced tread members are integrally formed to the outer surface thereof. Each tread member in each row has an outer edge area adjacent the outer edge of the body and an inner edge area terminating substantially at mid-section of the body. Each tread member of the first row is longitudinally offset relative to an adjacent tread member of the second row. Each inner edge area of the tread members is in vertical alignment with a corresponding one of the guide members of the inner surface of the body. Also, the pitch defined by two successive guide members differs in value from other pitches along the outer surfaces of the belt. This particular geometry of tread members and drive members is such as to reduce slitting damages to the track when driven as well as vibration.

Patent CA-2366583-A1 (CA)
Title: Encapsulated optoelectronic devices with controlled properties
Inventor: SCOTT JEFFREY W
IPC: H01L21/64
Filed: 2000-03-24
Abstract: An optoelectronic device, such as a VCSEL, is disclosed whose transmission does not change upon encapsulation by a material such as plastic, epoxy or other suitable encapsulant with a known index of refraction. The surface reflection of the VCSEL surface is very different depending on whether it is terminated in air or the encapsulant, with a much larger reflection in the case of air. It is known that the surface reflection can be made out of phase with the rest of the mirror, effectively increasing the transmission.  The amount of the transmission increase can be adjusted by controlling the thickness of the surface layer. Once the VCSEL is encapsulated, the surface reflection is reduced, and the transmission at the facet is increased but the dephased reflection is also reduced. Depositing a surface layer whose index of refraction is similar to the encapsulant, and adjusting the surface layer thickness correctly, the overall transmission from the laser into the terminating material is unchanged, be it air or encapsulation. As a result, the laser properties such as slope efficiency and threshold current are unchanged upon encapsulation. The same procedure may be applied to devices other than VCSELs such as other types of lasers, LEDs, and resonant cavity photodetectors to achieve encapsulated optoelectronic components with controlled properties that remain unchanged upon encapsulation.

Title: A method of managing a well file record at a well site
Inventor: NEWMAN FREDERIC M
IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 2002-04-19
Abstract: A method of managing well file records includes storing a well file on a first computer at a home base location and communicating the well file to a second computer at a remote well site.

Title: Method of optimizing parameter values in a process of producing a product
Inventor: MOUNTASSIR M HAMMED
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2000-08-28
Abstract: A method of optimizing parameter values in a process for producing a product, which process is essentially controlled by a set of parameters affecting a set of properties characterizing the product. The method uses an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to associate a weight with each property according to its relative importance to obtain desired product characteristics. The method also uses parameter data and measured property data from a required number of experimental runs of the process, from which data property behavior relations between each property and the parameters are statistically established, which relations give estimated property values. Using the property weights, a process goal function is established, which is expressed in terms of weighted deviations between the estimated property values and the corresponding goal values for the properties. Finally, the process goal function is minimized in order to generate a set of optimal parameter values for the process. The AHP process may be further used to evaluate the optimal solution compared to a set of other alternative solutions. The method allows the use of input data obtained from a minimum number of experimental runs, to generate a reliable set of parameter values. An example illustrating an application of the method for the design of a pharmaceutical formulation is described.
