Patent CA-2424704-C (CA)
Inventor: MANWAY TERRY A
IPC: E02F3/815
Filed: 2003-04-07
Granted: 2007-01-02
Abstract: The present invention provides for carbide edge snowplow and grader blades that are durable and fracture resistant. The carbide along the blade edge and blade bottom which contacts the surface being treated is designed to limit the degree of fracture of the carbide. Carbide inserts along the edge and/or bottom are separated from each other by a steel alloy spacer/shim along the width of the blade. The spacer/shim reduces the potential for impact damage cracks that form in a carbide insert from propagating into adjacent inserts along the width of the blade. In one embodiment, the improved blade edge comprises an edge body having a lower edge with a recess and separate slot in the bottom surface of the edge. Within the blade recess and blade slot are positioned carbide block/bar inserts separated by spacer means made from a ductile material.

Abstract: A method for producing ham is described with reference to a comparative example. Three hams were selected for manufacture, comprising one for processing in accordance with the present invention and two controls. Two were boned out and one was left on the bone. The three hams and the excised bones were pickled in brine and saltpetre in the conventional manner. The brining solution was supplemented with sugar and pineapple juice. The cured bones were laid adjacent the excision slit in the cut in intimate contact with the flesh of one of the hams, and the whole cut was secured by cook-in elastic netting. The second boned out ham and the bone-in ham were similarly bound in netting to eliminate any variation in cooking occasioned by the netting. The respective cuts were then identically smoked to a cooked state in the conventional manner. On a blind tasting, the control boneless product was picked as such by a statistically significant proportion of tasters, whereas the bone-in ham and ham in accordance with the present invention were adjudged to be ham on the bone by a majority of tasters, with no statistically significant variation of opinion between the two products.

Title: Air cleaner device for vehicle
Inventor: TSURUTA YUUICHIROU
IPC: F02M35/02
Filed: 2003-09-24
Granted: 2007-01-09
Abstract: An air cleaner device 41 is constituted of a main air cleaner 56 and a sub air cleaner 67 which is connected to the main air cleaner 56, and the sub air cleaner 67 is arranged parallel to the main air cleaner 56 in the longitudinal direction of main frames 55. Compared to a conventional case in which a main air cleaner and a sub air cleaner are arranged in parallel in the vehicle width direction, in the present invention, the air cleaner device is not projected sideward from a vehicle body and hence, the interference of the air cleaner device with an occupant and lowering of aesthetic appearance of a vehicle can be prevented. Further, since there is no restriction imposed by the interference of the air cleaner device with an occupant and lowering of aesthetic appearance of the vehicle, a capacity of the air cleaner device can be easily ensured.

Title: Validation and verification apparatus and method
Inventor: MONK BRUCE C
IPC: G06V30/40
Filed: 2002-11-25
Granted: 2013-02-12
Abstract: Apparatus and a method are disclosed for automatically identifying and validating a document, for validating the identity of a bearer of a document, for verifying that the bearer has authorization to participate in an activity represented by the document, and for comparing information on the document against information databases to determine if there are known concerns about the document or its bearer. A document type is narrowed by initially determining the size of the document, and is then identified from amongst a group of documents by looking for colors or other characteristics at specific locations on the document only until the document is identified. The order in which document locations are looked at is dependent upon a history of the types of documents that have been identified. An identified document is verified by first looking up reference information about the document type and using that information to read specific contents and check only specific security and other features utilized on the document. The contents of a document are checked against a database to verify its contents, and other databases are checked for stolen documents, known valid documents, and prohibited travel or entry. Biometrics in databases, on documents and directly from the document bearer are compared to verify the bearer.

Granted: 2007-12-04
Abstract: A plasma-enhanced vacuum drying method is disclosed. It is advantageously applied in plasma sterilization processes in particular, and represents a significant improvement for general evacuation drying methods. Articles to be sterilized are placed in a sealed chamber and the chamber is evacuated. A plasma of residual gas species is generated in the chamber during an initial evacuation step. This promotes drying of the articles and advantageously allows a desized pressure to be attained more quickly than without the plasma. Sterilizing gas is injected into the chamber, and a second plasma is generated to activate the sterilizing gas plasma, thereby sterilizing the articles in the chamber.
