Patent CA-2184219-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEE RON C
IPC: F17C13/00
Filed: 1996-08-27
Abstract: An apparatus for storing a multi-component cryogenic liquid in which headspace vapor in a storage tank is condensed in an external condensation tank through indirect heat exchange with liquid being vented from the storage tank. The resulting condensate can then be re-introduced into the storage tank through a pressure building circuit applied to the external condensation tank. In such manner, the pressure within the storage tank is regulated and the composition of the liquid stored within the storage tank is held with some degree of consistency. The use of an external condensation tank allows prior art cryogenic storage tanks and dewars to be retrofitted to store a multi-component cryogenic liquids.

Title: Dual chamber pacing with atrial and ventricular independence
Inventor: WEINER HENRY L
IPC: A61N1/368
Filed: 1995-04-19
Abstract: A rate-responsive cardiac pacemaker implements a novel pacing mode, identified as ADIR/VVIR, which is especially effective for patients with Sick Sinus Syndrome and only intermittent atrioventricular block. Within the same pacemaker circuitry, an AAIR pacemaker and a VVI pacemaker (with an escape rate below that of the AAIR pacemaker) are provided with atrial blanking following both atrial and ventricular events. Ventricular blanking after atrial pacing is minimized for better detection of R-waves following an atrial paced event.

Inventor: RINGGENBERG PAUL D
IPC: E21B27/02
Filed: 1996-12-18
Abstract: An early evaluation system with pump for servicing a well and taking fluid samples and measurements. In each of the embodiments, a formation pump is actuated to flow fluid from the well formation below a packer element engaged with the borehole into a sampling tube.      Fluid samplers and recording instruments may be in communication with the sampling tube. In one embodiment, the pump is mechanically actuated by rotation of the tool string. In another embodiment, the pump is hydraulically actuated and has a hydraulic motor connected thereto. In this hydraulically acutated embodiment, fluid pumped down the tool string actuates the hydraulic motor and thereby further actuates the pump. Other pump embodiments are also disclosed. In still another embodiment, the apparatus may be incorporated into a drill string so that a drilling operation may be carried out and immediately followed by a fluid evaluation operation. In this latter embodiment, circulating valves disposed in the apparatus allow fluid to be pumped downwardly through the drill bit when in a first position and then allow fluid samples to be taken by actuation of the pump when in a second position after the packer elements are engaged. Methods of drilling and servicing a well and conducting a bubble point determination utilizing the apparatus are also disclosed.

Patent CA-2199584-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BENNETT PAUL F
IPC: B60P3/20
Filed: 1997-03-10
Abstract: An insulated and logistics track construction for the side and end walls of a refrigerated vehicle includes an exterior metal sheet  attached  to  a  plurality  of  vertical  posts  that  are horizontally spaced.  An interior sheet of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP)  is  spaced from the exterior sheet and attached to  the vertical posts by a logistics track attached to each post with the FRP interior sheet captured between the logistics track and post.          The logistics track is shorter than the posts,  thereby leaving portions of the FRP interior sheet above and below the logistics tracks unattached and unrestrained by the posts.  A mandrel with vertical tubes is positioned adjacent the FRP interior sheet while foam is introduced between the exterior sheet and interior sheet and the pressure of the foam forces the FRP interior sheet to create  a  flat  inner surface between the vertically extending logistics tracks with the logistics tracks recessed below the flat inner surface and to create a corrugated shape in the surface of the FRP interior sheet above and below the logistics tracks.
Patent CA-2200705-A1 (CA)
Title: Electronic Safe/Arm Device
Inventor: BOUCHER CRAIG J
IPC: F42C11/00
Filed: 1995-10-12
Abstract: An electronic safe/arm device is powered internally by a low-voltage, periodic power source (12) that has insufficient voltage by itself to fire the detonator (18). The circuit therefore includes a step-up transformer (14) from which sufficient voltage to fire the detonator (18) is obtained. The step-up transformer (14) charges an arming circuit (16) which stores high-voltage power to fire the detonator (18) and also powers the firing circuit (20) which discharges the stored high-voltage energy through the detonator (18) at the appropriate time, to fire the device. The low-voltage, periodic power source (12) may include a low-voltage battery (120) and a dynamic switch (126) for providing periodic pulses of low-voltage energy to the primary winding (140) of the transformer (14), and the dynamic switch (126) may be powered from the output of the transformer (14), so that the low-voltage battery (120) has insufficient voltage to power the dynamic switch (126). Accordingly, high-voltage energy derived from the output of the transformer (14) is required to operate the circuit, providing assurance that the device will not fire if the circuit is damaged.

Abstract: The essential role of the Vpr protein of HIV in the progression of HIV infection is disclosed. Recognition of this role permits assay for potential drug candidates by virtue of their ability to interfere with the interaction of Vpr with its intracellular targets. Thus, cells that are modified to contain an expression system for the production of Vpr are cultured in the presence and absence of the drug candidate and the growth rates compared. The ability of a candidate to enhance the growth of a culture producing Vpr indicates its potential as an anti-AIDS therapeutic.

Title: In situ getter pump system and method
Inventor: LORIMER D ARCY H
IPC: F04B37/02
Filed: 1995-10-30
Abstract: A wafer processing system including a processing chamber, a low pressure pump coupled to the processing chamber for pumping noble and non-noble gases, a valve mechanism coupling a source of noble gas to the processing chamber, an in situ getter pump disposed within the processing chamber which pumps certain non-noble gases during the flow of the noble gas into the chamber, and a processing mechanism for processing a wafer disposed within the processing chamber. Preferably, the in situ getter pump can be operated at a number of different temperatures to preferentially pump different species of gas at those temperatures. A gas analyzer is used to automatically control the temperature of the getter pump to control the species of gases that are pumped from the chamber. A method for processing a wafer of the present invention includes the steps of placing a wafer within a processing chamber and sealing the chamber, flowing a noble gas into the chamber while simultaneously pumping the chamber with an external low pressure pump and with an in situ getter pump disposed within the chamber which pumps non-noble gases, and processing the wafer within the chamber while the noble gas continues to flow. The method also preferably includes the steps of monitoring the composition of the gas within the chamber and controlling the temperature of the getter material based upon the analysis of the composition.

Title: Cam-operated timer blade switches
Inventor: BURGIN HENRY EARL
IPC: H01H43/02
Filed: 1997-05-28
Abstract: An appliance timer has features to facilitate automated assembly or manual assembly. A timer housing base accepts timer components from two directions, and installation of components in either direction is along a straight axis. A motor in the tinner engages a gear train which runs a drive cam. The drive cam impartsmotion to a camstrack which then engages timer blade switches, and the blade switches operate the appliance. A subinterval is also supplied on the timer to allow periodic operation of a switch without the use of the camstack The timer also features a quiet manual advance which removes the blade switches from communication with the camstack to allow an operator to select various timer programs without any of the clicking noises that are usually associated with timer programs selection. Furthermore, a detent slider is positioned in communication with the camstack to provide a tactile feel for the operator of the timer when selecting between various timer programs.
