Patent CA-2356977-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MALMBERG JONNY
IPC: A23L3/40
Filed: 2000-01-20
Abstract: An apparatus for gas treatment of products comprises a housing having top, bottom and side walls; a conveyor belt for transporting the products along a first path in the housing; a tunnel having perforated walls and enclosing the conveyor belt along the first path; gas circulation means communicating with the tunnel via the perforated walls for circulating gas into the tunnel in the form of gas jets impinging upon the products carried by the conveyor belt, and out of the tunnel in a return channel back to the gas circulation means; and gas conditioning means positioned in the return channel for conditioning the gas circulated by the gas circulation means. Walls connecting with the perforated walls of the tunnel and having an opening towards the gas circulation means form a high-pressure chamber substantially above the tunnel and spaced from the walls of the housing. At least one substantially vertical part of the connecting walls of the high-pressure chamber is removable so as to provide access to the inside of the pressure chamber.  Further, at least one of the side walls of the housing along the high-pressure chamber may be movable so as to widen the space between said at least one wall and the high-pressure chamber.

Title: Synchronisation d'etats entre systemes redondants
Inventor: KARLSSON MARCUS
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 2000-02-18
Abstract: Selon la présente invention, un système redondant (20) comprend une première unité (21), une seconde unité (20) et un serveur de synchronisation (24). La première et la seconde unité (21, 22) comprennent chacune plusieurs automates finis (SM) chargé de tâches. Certains au moins des automates finis de la première unité exécutent simultanément les mêmes tâches ainsi qu'au moins certains des automates finis correspondant de la seconde unité. Lorsqu'un automate fini de la seconde unité à besoin de resynchronisation, le serveur de synchronisation (24) reçoit une demande de resynchronisation de l'automate fini demande la resynchronisation puis réagit en fournissant à un automate fini correspondant de la première unité une indication de perte de synchronisation (2-2). En réaction à l'indication de perte de synchronisation (2-2) provenant du serveur de synchronisation, l'automate fini correspondant de la première unité produit une demande de resynchronisation (2-3) en un instant estimé comme approprié par l'automate fini correspondant. En réaction à la demande de resynchronisation (2-3) de l'automate fini correspondant, le serveur de synchronisation produit une commande de resynchronisation (2-4) adressée non seulement à l'automate fini demandant la resynchronisation, mais également à l'automate fini correspondant de la première unité, ce qui déclenche simultanément une resynchronisation. L'une au moins de la première et de la seconde unité comporte une logique de relance qui définit un ordre de relance du groupe d'automates fini, ce qui permet la réalisation d'une relance graduelle des automates finis des unités redondantes. Ceci étant terminé, chacun des automates finis commande sa propre resynchronisation.

Patent CA-2379344-A1 (CA)
Title: Improved conductivity fuel cell collector plate and method of fabrication
Inventor: BRAUN JAMES C
IPC: H01M8/02
Filed: 2000-07-10
Abstract: An improved method of manufacturing a PEM fuel cell collector plate is disclosed. During molding, a highly con-ductive polymer composite is formed having a relatively high polymer concentration along its external surfaces. After molding, the polymer rich layer (5) is removed from the land areas by machining, grinding or similar process. This layer removal leaves the land areas at a reduced height (6), and results in increased overall conductivity of the molded collector plate. The polymer rich surface remains in the collector plate channels (7), providing increased mechanical strength and other benefits to the channels (7), while the land areas have a concentration similar to the bulk (8) of the collector plate. The improved method also permits greater mold cavity thickness providing a number of advantages during the molding process.

Abstract: A composite structure (10) generally includes a) a polyolefin foam sheet (12);  and b) a film (14) in adherence with the foam sheet (12). The film includes a blend of polyethylene and a thermoplastic elastomer. The elastomer includes a copolymer or terpolymer having a styrenic component and a rubbery component, the rubbery component having at least one carbon-carbon double bond. The rubbery component makes up at least about 70 wt.% of the thermoplastic elastomer. The resultant composite structure has a coefficient of friction ranging from about 0.5 to about 2.0, as measured at the upper surface (16) of the film (14), and therefore is advantageously used as a tool box liner, a non-skid foam to permit people to walk on the foam with a minimized risk of slipping and falling, or a packaging foam that clings well to a packaged article.

Patent CA-2404204-A1 (CA)
Inventor: XIA TIEJUN
IPC: H04B10/18
Filed: 2001-02-28
Abstract: Dans une liaison optique de communication de données, un signal optique modulé est émis d'un émetteur optique, couplé dans une extrémité d'une fibre optique et reçu par un récepteur optique à l'extrémité opposée de la fibre (référence numéro 1000). La présente invention concerne la diminution de la dispersion du mode de polarisation du signal optique modulé engendré par la biréfringence de la fibre, qui tend à limiter la largeur de bande utilisable de la fibre. Un dispositif de commande de polarisation (référence numéro 1010) est utilisé avec un signal optique modulé situé à proximité de l'émetteur. Le récepteur mesure la qualité du signal reçu et émet des commandes audit dispositif de commande de polarisation pour améliorer la qualité du signal reçu (référence numéro 1090). Dans divers modes de réalisation, la mesure de la qualité du signal peut être fondée sur un taux d'erreurs binaire, le meilleur taux d'erreurs binaire accessible estimé, ou des estimations de la dispersion du mode de polarisation affectant le signal reçu. De telles mesures peuvent être réalisées dans le récepteur par altération du niveau seuil, par échantillonnage de synchronisation d'un détecteur de bits dans le récepteur et par contrôle des modifications résultantes dans le taux d'erreurs binaire. La commande de polarisation du récepteur est couplée, de préférence, par la même fibre optique portant le signal optique modulé.
