Title: Jauge pour mesurer la neige sur toiture
Inventor: BACON JEAN
IPC: G01W1/14
Filed: 2008-05-20
Abstract: La jauge à neige pour toiture sert à mesurer là profondeur de la neige sur u n toit plat ou en pente. La jauge est composée de trois (3) couleurs, principalement vert, jau ne et rouge. La partie du bas est verte. La partie du haut a une section jaune dans le bas e t une section rouge dans le haut. La jauge à neige pour toiture doit être fixée au toit perpendiculairement au niveau du sol et à l'horizon. La jauge permet de visualiser le niveau d'accumulation de la neige sur un toit donné. L'utilisateur peut visualiser le niveau de la neige à partir d'un point au sol ou d'un point à distance de la jauge. Le contraste de la neige blanch e sur les couleurs de la jauge permet facilement de constater le niveau de profondeur de la neige. Lorsque le niveau de la neige sur le toit ne dépasse pas la section verte, l'accumulati on est raisonnable et le déneigement n'est pas nécessaire. Lorsque le niveau de la neige sur le to it atteint la section jaune, le déneigement est nécessaire le plus tôt possible. Lorsque le niveau de la neige sur le toit atteint ou dépasse la section rouge, le déneigement immédiat est nécessaire.

Title: Black plant steam furnace injection
Inventor: MARYAMCHIK MIKHAIL
IPC: F23J15/02
Filed: 2008-07-25
Abstract: A system and method for quickly cooling and de-pressurizing a boiler arrangement in the event of a plant power loss, a.k.a. a black plant condition. A steam discharge system injects steam from the steam/water circuit into the furnace, thereby both cooling components of the boiler arrangement and reducing pressure in the steam/water circuit. This reduces or eliminates the additional cost associated with providing extra capacity in a steam drum and/or an independently powered boiler water pump. The system and method is particularly useful for quickly cooling the U-beams of a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler during a black plant condition. In application to boiler arrangements with a selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) system employing steam as a carrier for a NO x reducing agent, the steam discharge system advantageously uses the discharge nozzles of the SNCR system to inject the steam into the furnace.

Title: Bipolar stimulation/recording device with widely spaced electrodes
Inventor: CHU JENNIFER
IPC: A61B5/296
Filed: 2007-07-31
Abstract: A bipolar stimulator probe suitable for application of intramuscular stimulation provides an active stimulator electrode and a reference electrode as part of a single tool. The separation between the electrodes is significantly greater than the electrode separation of known bipolar stimulator probes and bipolar bar electrode configurations. The probe tool may be configured to permit adjustment of the fixed relative position of the electrodes within a given range. By providing a relatively wide spacing between the two electrodes, the tool can be used to approximate the effect of monopolar stimulation with a separate reference electrode, with the electrical stimulus producing less pain to the patient compared to bipolar stimulation where the two electrodes are spaced apart by only 2-4 cm or less.
