Patent CA-2604416-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ITSKOV BORIS
IPC: A63F13/46
Filed: 2007-09-26
Abstract: A video game system includes a game that requires the multiple input of a single input device to provide a series of timed input signals relative to a start signal.  The relative time of the input signal determines the result of a heat and the combined results of a series of heats provide game score. The game has a fast learning curve in combination with a player skill level that is not necessarily controlling. The game is based on timed player input that are sensitive about the optimal values to include a random or luck factor about the optimal values. In a preferred embodiment the game is a race theme game and requires the player to input shift signals.

Abstract: A sealing system (10) for sealing a tubular conduit is described. The sealing system includes a housing (16), with at least one annular seal (22, 24) surrounding the outer surface of the housing. The sealing system further includes at least one seal back-up (26, 25) mounted on the housing outer surface, adjacent the at least one annular seal. The at least one seal back-up has an anchor surface for engaging with the tubular conduit. Seal and anchor energising means are also provided for urging the annular seal and the anchor surface into contact with the tubular conduit in response to an actuation force.

IPC: C10J3/72
Filed: 2008-03-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing carbon dioxide from a synthesis gas stream containing hydrogen is disclosed. The method includes absorbing the carbon dioxide using a physical solvent under high pressure and then liberating the carbon dioxide in a series of expansion stages where the pressure on the solvent is reduced. The expansion ratio increases with each expansion stage. The apparatus includes expansion stages having throttling devices and expansion tanks operated at increasing expansion ratios. Carbon dioxide is liberated in this manner so as to minimize the energy required compress for transport via a pipe line for sequestration of the gas. Sequestration of the carbon dioxide is preferred to atmospheric venting to curb the release of greenhouse gases.

Abstract: Two supply streams (1.1 and 1.2) of printed products are combined to form a combined printed-product stream. For this purpose, the supply streams are conveyed into a combining region (V) in a main conveying direction (F) in a state in which they, for example, rest loosely on conveying surfaces (3.1 and 3.2), are parallel to one another, adjacent to one another and on the same level, inner and outer edges of the printed products (P) of the two supply streams (1.1 and 1.2) being oriented parallel to the main conveying direction (F). At the entrance to the combining region (V), the inner edge region of each printed product of the first supply stream (1.1) is raised and, as they are conveyed through the combining region (V), the printed products of the two supply streams (1.1 and 1.2) are pushed transversely to the main conveying direction (F) and towards one another. An inner edge region of a printed product of the second supply stream (1.2) is thus respectively pushed beneath the raised inner edge region of the printed product of the first supply stream (1.1), in which case these supply streams end up located one upon the other and are conveyed away in this state.
