Patent CA-2222846-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FINNEMORE HARLAN E
IPC: F27B9/38
Filed: 1997-11-28
Abstract: A system for removing and replacing heat exchange baskets for radially loaded air preheaters. The system includes a platform having a horizontal upper surface for supporting the heat exchange baskets. The upper surface is substantially alignable with each basket support level such that a single platform may be used to remove or replace all of the heat exchange baskets. A tugger and tugger line are provided for providing the motive force required to move the heat exchange baskets. An engagement apparatus engages and applies the motive force to the heat exchange basket. At least one pulley is used to control the direction of movement of the tugger line and thereby direct the motive force to either push or pull the heat exchange basket.

Title: Hydraulic valve to maintain control in fluid-loss condition
Inventor: WILKE RAUD A
IPC: F16K3/26
Filed: 1996-05-29
Abstract: A hydraulic fluid-loss control valve for preventing uncontrolled load movement in the event of a fluid loss such as from the bursting of a hose and further for allowing an operator to move the looad in a controlled way despite the fluid loss. The control valve is situated between a conventional main spool valve and a piston/cylinder hydraulic actuator which powers the load. The control valve has a spool sliding reciprocally in a bore. Grooves and lands on the spool combine with passages in the control valve body to provide alternate fluid paths between a pump and the actuator and between the actuator and a reservoir. Fluid can flow from a controlled chamber of the actuator only when the spool is in a position which provides a fluid path. A passage within the spool provides fluid communication between an input fluid flow and a chamber at one end of the spool. A second passage within the spool provides fluid communication between an actuator chamber and a chamber at the other end of the spool. The position of the spool is determined by the balancing of the opposing end-chamber pressures, which is under the control of the operator.

Title: Power transmission system
Inventor: YOKOTANI HITOSHI
IPC: F16H57/021
Filed: 1998-01-29
Abstract: An arrangement for removably attaching a drive shaft of a track belt to an output shaft of a transmission allows the drive shaft to be mounted and removed easily and rapidly with respect to the output shaft. A driving pulley of a V-belt transmission is mounted on the right end of a crankshaft of an engine. A gear box is disposed proximately on the right side of a driven pulley of the transmission.      An input shaft of the gear box supports the driven pulley.      An input shaft, an idle shaft, and a final shaft are disposed in the gear box. The outer periphery of the output shaft is sealed with a seal. The output shaft is formed as a hollow shaft projecting and opening to one side of the gear box. The inner surface of the hollow output shaft is splined, and one end of the drive shaft is inserted into the hollow portion of the output shaft. Further, splines formed on the outer periphery of the one end of the drive shaft are brought into engagement with the splines formed on the inner surface of the output shaft. Thus, the splined connection permits rotation of the output shaft to be transmitted to the drive shaft, while allowing the drive shaft to be easily mounted to or removed from the output shaft.

Patent CA-2229198-A1 (CA)
Title: Tubing hanger to permit axial tubing displacement in a well bore and method of using same
Inventor: HAYNES MICHAEL JONATHON
IPC: E21B33/04
Filed: 1998-02-10
Abstract: A tubing hanger and a method for axially displacing tubing string in a cased well bore without removing the wellhead from the well are described. The tubing hanger consists of a primary tubing hanger component engageable with the wellhead and a secondary tubing hanger component removably received in the cavity of the primary tubing hanger component. When downhole operations require axial displacement of the tubing string, the secondary tubing hanger component is disengaged from the primary tubing hanger component and stroked up through the wellhead to permit tubing joints to be added or removed. Such axial displacement of the tubing string facilitates downhole operations such as the repositioning of a zone isolating tool, the logging of a production zone, the removal of debris such as sand from a sand trap, selective stimulation of a production zone, and other localized downhole operations which require or are facilitated by tubing string manipulation. The advantage is the ability of axially displace the tubing string without removing the wellhead which saves time and significantly reduces costs.

Patent CA-2239067-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DUBBELDAM GERRIT CORNELIS
IPC: G11B7/26
Filed: 1996-11-28
Abstract: The optical recording medium has a grooved transparent substrate superposed by a recording layer comprising a partial mirror, a buffer layer, a thick reflective layer, and optionally a protective coating. By virtue of the partial mirror, the buffer layer, and the thick reflective layer, a FabryPerot etalon is created. Information can be written by deformation of one or more of the partial mirror, the buffer layer, the thick reflective layer, or the substrate. The deformation effects change or destroy the Fabry-Perot, and a decrease in reflection is created. As deformation effects are used for writing, a non-liquid crystalline high-molecular weight material can be used in the buffer layer. The tracking (keeping the writing laser within the grooves) can take place by employing the difference in reflected amplitude or phase of the partial mirror/substrate interface within and outside the groove.

Title: An apparatus and system for creating ventilation in building structures
Inventor: HUFF ROYAL C
IPC: F24F7/00
Filed: 1998-07-24
Abstract: A ventilation and moisture control system is disclosed.          The ventilation system of the present invention uses natural conduction and convection methods,  induced by temperature gradients, outside air, the sun and the wind, to increase the ventilation in a structure and to help prevent moisture and gases from accumulating in the structure.  In one embodiment, the ventilation system creates an air flow passageway from the base of the perimeter side walls of the structure vertically through the side walls to a roof soffit and into an attic where  the  moisture-laden  air  is  ultimately exhausted  to outside the structure.  Elevated temperatures in the attic and the soffit create a temperature gradient compared to the temperature inside the perimeter side walls which draws the moist air that accumulates in crawl spaces and/or that enters the side walls into the attic where it can be exhausted outside the structure.

Title: Computer-based method of structuring product configuration information and configuring a product
Inventor: STREVEY THOMAS SCOTT
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 1998-07-27
Abstract: A computer based method of collecting, structuring, and displaying product configuration information, and using the product configuration information to produce a computer program that validates product option selections and configures a product, is disclosed. The computer based method is used to create a Knowledge Map that contains product information objects. A product information object can be one of: a product option object, representing a customer option; a product module object, representing a collection of product parts, plans, tools, functional tests, inspections, or software; a grouping object, grouping product options or modules; or a relational object representing a relation between product objects. An input device is used to select a plurality of product information objects and position the objects in a display area. Upon selection of the objects, an operator is prompted to input specific information pertaining to the selected object. Constraints limit the selections that an operator can make, the appearance of the objects, and the configurations that can be produced from selected objects. Information pertaining to selected objects and their configuration is stored in a database. Changes can be made directly to the information stored in the database, and these changes are reflected in a corresponding display of the product information. After producing a Knowledge Map, the information is retrieved from a database to produce a set of rules that is input to a rule-based program for validating a set of product option selections and configuring a final product defined by resulting modules. The information can also be retrieved to produce object-based information to be used in the creation of an object-based program for validating a set of product options and configuring a product.
