Patent CA-2335286-C (CA)
Inventor: PRESCOTT RUSSELL E
IPC: B01D19/00
Filed: 2001-02-09
Granted: 2009-01-06
Abstract: The system removes contaminating gases, such as radon, from water using a bubbling action. Contaminated water is sprayed together with air through a duct to a bottom region of a bubbling container. The water and air move generally in the same direction through the system, allowing the flow rate to be varied while maintaining forced air/water contact. The aerated contaminated water bubbles upwardly through the bubbling container and passes through one or more diffusing or mixing plates causing the aerated contaminated water to further break out contaminating gases into the air. At the top region of the bubbling container, the contaminating gases are vented while the decontaminated water flows into a tank. The decontaminated water can then be pumped to a desired location, for example, to a house water system. A control system controls the operation of the system based upon water needs by stopping the introduction of air and water into the system when the decontaminated water in the tank has reached a predetermined level.

Abstract: A hemming machine is disclosed having a base, a nest adapted to support a part to be hemmed, a nest carrier which supports the nest and in which both the nest and nest carrier are vertically movably mounted to the base. At least one hemming die is laterally slidably mounted to the base and movable between an extended position in which the die overlies a portion of the nest, and a retracted position in which the die is spaced laterally outwardly from the nest. A lock unit selectively locks the nest carrier against vertical movement relative to the base in at least one, and preferably two positions, so that, with the nest carrier locked against movement relative to the base, inflation of a hydraulic bladder sandwiched between the nest and nest carrier displaces the nest vertically upwardly from the carrier so that the part carried by the nest is compressed against the hemming dies and performs the hemming operation. Preferably, a single drive shaft not only displaces the nest and nest carrier, but also powers the hydraulic circuit to inflate the bladder and thus upwardly displace the nest relative to the nest carrier with an amplified force required to achieve the final flattening of the hem.

Title: Command processing method and radio communication apparatus
Inventor: NIRE KATSUO
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2001-09-18
Granted: 2009-11-24
Abstract: A command processing method for a radio LAN system composed of a plurality of terminals and at least one base apparatus is disclosed which prevents users of the terminals from suffering from confusion or conflict between them with regard to handling of a command issued from any of the terminals and from misunderstanding that the system has failed. When a channel changing command or a like command is issued from a terminal, the base apparatus determines whether or not the received command is a competitive command whose acceptance may result in the disturbance of reception of data of any other terminal. If the received command is a competitive command, then the base apparatus rejects the command and issues a notification of the rejection to the terminal which has issued the command. When a particular condition is satisfied such as when the priority of the terminal which has issued the command is higher than that of any other terminal receiving data, then the base apparatus may accept the command.

Title: Electric vacuum cleaner
Inventor: TAKANOSE TSUYOSHI
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 2002-03-20
Granted: 2005-03-29
Abstract: An electric vacuum cleaner according to the present invention boosts a voltage supplied to a motor-driven blower through the use of a boost converter circuit with a DC power supply as a drive source to thereby increase the output of the motor-driven blower so as to enhance dust suction power. The present invention provides, as operation modes of such an electric vacuum cleaner, an operation mode for boosting power inputted to the motor-driven blower with the boost converter circuit to thereby increase dust suction power, and an operation mode for deactivating the boost converter circuit. Consequently, the boost converter circuit is used to enable the boosting of the power inputted to the motor-driven blower only when really required, and a loss in power produced due to the mounting of the boost converter circuit can be reduced. Thus, the service hour per charge for a battery can be set to a level equivalent to an electric vacuum cleaner equipped with no boost converter circuit.
