Filed: 2006-04-11
Abstract: A check valve (10) comprises, a flexible tube (11) having first and second end portions defining an inlet (13) and an outlet (14), respectively, and a rigid valve body (12) surrounding the flexible tube (11). The end portions of the flexible tube are sealingly fixed to the valve body (12) to define an enclosed space (17) between the exterior of the flexible tube and the interior of the valve body. A fixed volume of a substantially incompressible fluid is located in the enclosed space (17). When the pressure at the outlet (14) is greater than the pressure at the inlet (13), the flexible tube is substantially collapsed so as to close the valve or allow severely restricted flow. However when the pressure at the inlet is greater than that at the outlet, some of the fluid is displaced from the inlet area towards the outlet area so that the flexible tube (11) is expanded in the area adjacent the inlet and the tube is substantially open. A pump based on a series of valves having some of the attributes of the check valve is also disclosed, as is a vacuum driven sewer system that incorporates a pinch valve.

Patent CA-2613214-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HALLSTROM JARI
IPC: H01T15/00
Filed: 2006-06-29
Abstract: A series spark gap is triggered such that in parallel with partial spark gaps (1 , 2) of the series spark gap there are coupled first voltage distribution means. Further, at least in one partial spark gap (1 , 2) there is arranged an additional electrode (10) whose voltage is set to a given level by means of second voltage distribution means. The voltage level of the additional electrode (10) is changed by disturbing the voltage distribution of the second voltage distribution means. Thus the spark gap between the main electrode (6a, 6b) of the partial spark gap (1) and the additional electrode (10) will be ignited. Capacity of the second voltage distribution means is lower than that of the first voltage distribution means and consequently the voltage acting over the first voltage distribution means does not change significantly. Thus the voltage determined by the first voltage distribution means acts over the spark gap that is between the additional electrode (10) and the second main electrode (6a, 6b) of the partial spark gap (1) and that will also ignite, which further results in the supply voltage (U) acting only over the second partial spark gap (2), whereby a spark-over will also occur therein.

Title: Radio frequency electronic whiteboard using pcb as detecting surface
Inventor: LAU CHUN-TO
IPC: G06K11/06
Filed: 2008-08-18
Abstract: [Para 1] An electronic whiteboard uses parallel copper traces of a printed circuit board as the detecting surface. Each copper trace is terminated with a capacitor and resistor. The combination enables the picking up of radio frequency from the transmitter pen. With proper gain stage, the detected signal can identify the proximity of the writing pen. Since the detecting surface is made only of a printed circuit board, all the interfacing components can also be stuffed onto the same PCB. It dramatically simplifies the production of the electronic whiteboard without the intervention of human alignments, and the material cost will be reduced significantly. The idea was filed under the same name of the inventor, Lau Chun To, in China on 25th September 2007 and the China patent no. ZL 2007 2 0172112.0 was granted on 9th July 2008.
