Abstract: L'invention concerne un contenant sous pression destin~ ~ recevoir des substances visqueuses et poss~dant une valve de sortie (14) qui peut Útre d~plac~e entre une position ferm~e et une position ouverte. Pour lib~rer une section d'ouverture, un ~l~ment de valve mobile (18) peut Útre d~plac~ en direction de l'int~rieur du contenant. Etant donn~ que, d'une part, une grande section d'ouverture est souhait~e et que, d'autre part, il est n~cessaire de surmonter une r~sistance initiale tr­s ~lev~e en raison de la taille importante des pi­ces p~n~trant dans le contenant, le contenant selon l'invention pr~sente au moins deux sections d'ouverture qui peuvent Útre lib~r~es successivement par actionnement de la valve. On obtient ainsi une force d'actionnement faible dans un premier temps, la section d'ouverture restant cependant encore importante, lorsque la valve (14) est enti­rement ouverte.

Patent CA-2478158-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WIKLUND DAVID K
IPC: A01M29/30
Filed: 2004-08-20
Abstract: A rodent guard is provided for preventing access by rodents to a vehicle which would otherwise occur by the rodents crawling up the wheels in to the vehicle. A bottom wall of the guard spans beneath the wheel and is continuou s with side walls extending upwardly to a peripheral top edge surrounding an open t op end of the guard receiving a lower portion of the wheel therein. The walls are formed of smooth material having a low coefficient of friction so that the rodents are incapable of crawling up the guard onto the wheels. The bottom wall being continuous with the side walls ensures that burrowing rodents cannot penetrate the guard simply by crawling or burrowing beneath the side walls.

Patent CA-2480292-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FRIEDRICH JURGEN
IPC: B22D11/124
Filed: 2003-03-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for collecting and evacuating run-off water from the inner arc of the strand guide (8) of a beam blank casting machine, according to which the cast strand (2) is solidified and the required dissipation of heat is achieved, among other things, by sprayed water, whereby run-off water can also collect on the inner arc of the strand (2). The run-off water is collected using a suction head (1). The run-off water that is collected in the suction head is fluidised using fluidisers or momentum inhibitors. The fluidised water is sucked off and the water-air mixture is split into water and air in a separation device. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out said method, comprising at least one suction device that is arranged or can be driven along the strand guide (8), said suction device having an attachable suction head (1) and being equipped with fluidisers. The suction device (4) is driven along the beam blank preliminary section (9) by means of manipulators (7).

Title: Surgical stapling instrument having multistroke firing incorporating a traction-biased ratcheting mechanism
Inventor: SWAYZE JEFFREY S
IPC: A61B17/072
Filed: 2004-09-28
Abstract: A surgical stapling and severing instrument particularly suited to endoscopi c procedures incorporates a handle that produces separate closing and firing motions to actuate an end effector. In particular, the handle produces multiple firing strokes in orde r to reduce the required amount of force required to fire (i.e., staple and sever) the end effector. A linked transmission reduces the required handle longitudinal length, yet achieves a rigid, strong configuration when straightened for firing. A traction biased firing mechani sm avoids binding in driving this straightened linked rack in cooperation with an anti - backup mechanism, with a lockout mechanism that prevents releasing the closure trigger during firing. Furthermore, an external indicator gives feedback to the surgeon as to how far firing has progressed, as well as providing a manual retraction capability.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for multi-rate lattice vector quantization of a source vector x representing a frame from a source signal to be used, for example, in digital transmission and storage systems. The multi-rate lattice quantization encoding method comprises the steps of associating to x a lattice point y in a unbounded lattice .LAMBDA.; verifyin g if y is included in a base codebook C derived from the lattice .LAMBDA.; if it is the case then indexing y in C so as to yield quantization indices. if not then extending the base codebook using, for example a Voronoi based extensio n method, yielding an extended codebook; associating to y a codevector c from the extended codebook, and indexing y in the extended codebook C. The extension technique allows to obtain higher bit rate codebooks from the base codebooks compared to quantization method and system from the prior art.</SD OAB>
