Patent CA-2410669-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for making a thixotropic metal slurry
Inventor: LOMBARD PATRICK J
IPC: B22D17/00
Filed: 2001-05-21
Abstract: An apparatus (10, 10A, 10B) for producing a thixotropic metallic melt by simultaneously controlledly cooling and stirring the melt to form solid particles of a first phase suspended in a residual liquid second phase. Vigorous stirring of the metallic melt results in the formation of degenerat e dendritic particles having substantially spheroidal shapes. The metallic mel t is stirred to rapidly and efficiently circulate the formation of semi-solid slurry. Circulation of the forming semi-solid slurry results in a substantially uniform temperature throughout. Through precision stirring and  cooling, a semi-solid slurry is formed having a first solid phase of about 7 0- 80 wt.% suspended in a second liquid phase.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un accès contrôlé à des travaux numériques mettant en oeuvre un réseau, qui fait appel à un code d'identification client mis à jour de manière dynamique afin d'identifier un client unique à un serveur, un code d'identification de contenu permettant d'identifier un travail numérique, et un module logiciel client utilisé en tant qu'agent du serveur. Un secret crypté ou un code d'autorisation non crypté, permettant l'accès au contenu de données, est transmis au client. La transmission d'un secret crypté au client dans un réseau de communication non sécurisé prend en charge le cryptage du travail numérique. Une association de bases de données fournit un environnement licence d'utilisation logicielle pour des copies de différents travaux numériques et au moins une machine. La distribution de contenu de données additionnel (par ex. de la publicité) à partir d'un ou de plusieurs serveurs à un client implique de contacter un serveur d'authentification afin de déterminer si l'accès au travail numérique primaire doit être fourni au client, d'extraire d'un serveur de contenu de données le contenu de données additionnel et de transmettre ce contenu de données additionnel au client pour affichage.

IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 2003-06-13
Abstract: Polarity independent jumper cables are provided for connecting vehicle batteries in parallel, for example when trying to start a vehicle that has a flat battery. The apparatus disclosed has terminal connectors to connect to the terminal posts of each battery. The terminal connectors lead to a switching and control circuit that automatically determines the batteries polarities and makes connections to connect the batteries in parallel, so that users do not need to have any knowledge of the battery polarities. In particular, an indication of the relative state of charge of the batteries is provided prior to the circuit establishing the connections so that when the connection is made, it is made for a predetermined period of time in order to control the current flow through the apparatus. Furthermore, the connection between the batteries is made only when the change in load is sensed on one of the batteries, for example when a vehicle starter motor is connected to one of the batteries.
