Patent CA-2117858-C (CA)
Inventor: LEE RON C
IPC: F25D3/10
Filed: 1994-10-11
Granted: 1997-12-09
Abstract: A cryogenic heat exchange system and freeze dryer incorporating the same. The cryogenic heat exchange system has a heat exchanger provided with at least one pass for receiving a cryogenic heat exchange fluid.  A reversing circuit is provided to reverse the flow direction of the cryogenic heat transfer fluid in the at least one pass to help prevent asymmetric ice buildup on the heat exchanger.  Additionally, a portion of the spent cryogenic heat transfer fluid after having passed through the at least one pass is recirculated. During the recirculation, the spent cryogenic heat transfer fluid is mixed with incoming cryogen to produce the cryogenic heat transfer fluid. Such cryogenic heat transfer fluid after creation is then introduced into the flow reversing circuit and the one or more passes of the heat exchanger. A remaining portion of the cryogenic heat transfer fluid is vented. The recirculation raises the temperature of the heat transfer in the heat exchanger to also promote uniform ice buildup. The heat exchanger can be a condenser used in a freeze drier for freezing water vapor sublimated during the freeze drying process. Additionally, in a proper application of the present invention, the reversal coupled with the recirculation and mixing can be used to provide the cryogenic heat exchange system with a self-defrost capability.

Abstract: A method of analysis comprises forming complexes between micro-particles (12) such as plastics beads, a linking moiety (14) such as an antibody attached to the micro-particle, and a target (16) such as a micro-organism and observing the electro-rota-tion properties of the complex (10). Electro-rotation is produced by applying a rotating electric field in a plane transverse to the direction of observation. The differing electro-rotation properties of the micro-particles (12) coated with antibody (14) alone and the complexes (10) are visually observable and in suitable cases discrimination is possible between complexes containing live tar-get micro-organisms and those containing dead micro-organisms. The target (16) may be bound to a labelling moiety (14) such as a gold or magnetic particle to enhance change in electro-rotation properties produced on complex formation. A wide range of tar-get species are detectable, including nucleic acids and proteins.

Title: Air bag system with zinc-base alloy components
Inventor: HANNA MICHAEL DAVID
IPC: B60R21/26
Filed: 1995-10-02
Granted: 1999-06-15
Abstract: The present invention includes high strength, high temperature and strain rate applications of a zinc-base alloy including about 83 to 94 weight percent zinc, about 4 to about 11 percent copper and about 2 to about 4 percent aluminum. The composition may also include minor components such as magnesium and impurities. The alloy is used to construct automotive components which are subject to an instantaneous load of between 40-500 MPa. The alloy is particularly suitable for constructing components which are subject to such loads under high temperatures. In fact, components constructed from the alloy become much stronger at higher temperatures under sudden stress.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une tige d'armature en composite stratifié non métallique pour béton armé ou béton précontraint. On fabrique cette tige en produisant une feuille en matériau pour noyau (1) comportant un certain nombre de couches de matériau "préimprégné". On forme des nervures (2) à la surface du noyau avec des couches supplémentaires de matériau préimprégné disposées de manière à ce que leurs fibres soient transversales à celles du noyau. On recouvre ensuite ces nervures (2) en ajoutant de nouvelles couches de matériau préimprégné (3) disposées de manière à ce que leurs fibres soient parallèles à celles du noyau. On chauffe ledit matériau de façon à fusionner les différentes couches. Enfin, on coupe, à la largeur souhaitée, les feuilles d'armature stratifiées parallèlement aux fibres du noyau. La tige d'armature (62) produite est supérieure à l'acier en résistance à la corrosion, en flexibilité, en durabilité et en solidité. Cette tige d'armature (62) peut servir de câble de précontrainte dans le béton précontraint après encastrement des extrémités de ladite tige dans un organe de fixation constitué d'un manchon (60) rempli d'un matériau pour injection (63) tel que le mortier ou le ciment de résine polyester. Le mode de réalisation à fibres de verre n'est pas conducteur. Si l'on utilise un préimprégné de carbone constitué de fibres à haut module, le module de Young des éléments d'armature en composite stratifié est approximativement égal à celui de l'acier.
