Patent CA-2431601-A1 (CA)
Title: Tree processor
Inventor: DUVAL ALAIN
IPC: A01G23/097
Filed: 2003-05-29
Abstract: A log delimbing processor includes two pairs of grapples for holding workpieces for translation along their length so as to engage delimbing knives. The workpieces are urged by a pair of driven wheels on opposite sides of the workpieces, by a driven upper roller mounted to a backbone of the processor, and by a driven lower roller mounted on the end of an articulated arm which is actuated to tuck up under the workpieces held in the grapples so that the workpieces are engaged and driven from all sides. A swing out saw on one end of the processor provides for delimbing large forked branches.
Patent CA-2431604-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BURNS BRADLEY GERALD
IPC: E21B37/00
Filed: 2003-06-10
Abstract: A method of circulating through a reciprocating downhole tubing pump and a reciprocating downhole tubing pump. The reciprocating downhole tubing pump has a standing valve assembly and a travelling valve. The method involves displacing and disabling, without removing, the standing ball valve assembly and the travelling valve. This can be done with pins which knock the balls out of position or by enclosing the balls in cages which can be mechanically moved out of position with linkages. With the standing ball valve assembly and the travelling valve disabled, circulation can occur through the reciprocating downhole tubing pump. This has a number of advantages, such as removal of blockages due to sand accumulation.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for ellipsometric two-dimensional display of a sample placed in an incident medium, observed between an analyser and a polarizer intersected by convergent light reflection, wherein the ellipsometric parameters of the assembly formed by the sample and a substrat e whereon it is placed, are used. The substrate comprises a support and a stac k of base layers and its ellipsometric properties are known. The ellipsometric properties of the substrate are such that variations of the sample ellipsometric parameters are displayed with contrast higher that the contras t produced in the absence of said substrate. The invention also concerns a display method and an ellipsometric measurement method with spatial resoluti on.

Inventor: COBB JOSHUA M
IPC: G03B21/00
Filed: 2003-07-23
Abstract: A digital projection apparatus (10) for projection of a multicolor image uniformizes polychromatic light from a light source (12) and provides magnification to the uniformized illumination beam using a base condenser relay (80), providing a reduced numerical aperture for conditioning at a dichroic separator (27). For each monochromatic component color provided from the dichroic separator (27), a reducing relay (82) then demagnifies the illumination beam to provide source illumination to a spatial light modulator (30) at an increased numerical aperture. As a result, color shading across the field is minimized and brightness is optimized.

Patent CA-2439698-A1 (CA)
Title: Fiber reinforced cement composite materials using chemically treated fibers with improved dispersibility
Inventor: MERKLEY DONALD J
IPC: D21C9/00
Filed: 2002-02-22
Abstract: A fiber-reinforced building material in one embodiment incorporates cellulose fibers that are chemically treated with a dispersant to impart improved dispersibility to the fibers. The fibers are treated with a dispersant which deactivates the hydroxyl sites of the fiber surfaces and in some cases, making the fiber surface more hydrophobic. The dispersant inhibits the hydroxyl groups on the cellulose fiber surface from bonding with hydroxyl groups of other fibers and from bonding with hydroxyl groups of the same fiber, thereby significantly reducing inter-fiber and intra-fiber hydrogen bonding. The chemically treated fibers with improved dispersibility improve the fiber distribution and reinforcing efficiency, which in turn improves key physical and mechanical properties of the material such as the modulus of rupture, z-direction tensile strength, and toughness, and surface finishes.

Title: Panel, kit and method for forming a stone masonry wall
Inventor: BOUCHARD MICHEL
IPC: E04F13/08
Filed: 2002-05-22
Abstract: A panel for forming a masonry wall on a building surface, comprising a back face for covering the building surface, opposite edges and a front face with a predetermined pattern of first and second depressions. The first depressions are shaped and sized for receiving masonry pieces as a whole whereas the second depressions, which intersect the opposite edges, are shaped and sized for receiving parts of masonry pieces, so that, when the panel is mounted side by side with a complementary panel, some masonry pieces bridge both panels by means of the second depressions. The panel makes it possible for an unskilled worker to build relatively rapidly a masonry work having a complex predetermined pattern of masonry pieces. Thanks to the second depressions that make it possible for some pieces of masonry to bridge panels mounted side by side, the general arrangement of pieces, when completed does not look like a series of individual panels but rather look continuous.
