Inventor: LEWIS SUSAN K
IPC: G05D11/00
Filed: 2007-03-21
Abstract: A dilution control device and method of operating the same. The dilution control device can include a structure for dispensing concentrate and diluent fluid in a desired dilution ratio utilizing volumetric dosing. In some embodiments, diluent fluid drives a wheel or compresses a pliable concentrate bag in order to dispense concentrate in the desired ratio with the diluent fluid. In some embodiments, one or more floats can be used to drive a pump or actuate a valve to dispense concentrate at a particular rate proportional with the flow rate of the diluent fluid. In some embodiments, a rocker is responsive to the flow of diluent fluid to pump concentrate. In some embodiments, the dilution control device can be operable to automatically modulate the dispense rate of concentrate when the diluent fluid flow rate is varied in order to maintain a predetermined dilution ratio.

Title: Increased polysilicon deposition in a cvd reactor
Inventor: SERVINI ADRIAN
IPC: C23C16/46
Filed: 2007-04-19
Abstract: A method and process for the production of bulk polysilicon by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) where conventional silicon "slim rods" commonly used in Siemens-type reactors are replaced with shaped silicon filaments of similar electrical properties but larger surface areas, such as silicon tubes, ribbons, and other shaped cross sections. Silicon containing gases, such as chlorosilane or silane, are decomposed and form a silicon deposit on the hot surfaces of the filaments The larger starting surface areas of these filaments ensures a higher production rate without changing the reactor size, and without increasing the number and length of the filaments. Existing reactors need only the adaptation or replacement of filament supports to use the new filaments. The filaments are grown from silicon melt by Edge-defined, Film-fed Growth (EFG) method. This also enables the doping of the filaments and simplification of power supplies for new reactors.

Title: Variable stiffness stem for prosthetic implants
Inventor: WALTERSDORFF WILLIAM L
IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 2007-09-20
Abstract: A method for forming an implant for a bone comprises the step (20) of generating a first general shape for the implant having a length extending along a long axis of the bone. A step (40) determines an area moment of inertia of a cross section of the implant. Step (40) also determines an area moment of inertia for a cross section of bone coplanar to the cross section of the implant. A percent stress shielding is calculated (50) from the area moments of inertia of the implant and the bone. A step (60) compares the calculated percent stress shielding to a preset threshold. Iteratively, additional general shapes are generated (80) for the implant by locally adjusting the cross section of the implant until the calculated percent stress shielding meets the preset threshold.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for the uniform drying of boards, such as gypsum wallboards. The apparatus includes a dryer through which a series of boards are conveyed in a side-by-side relationship. While in the dryer, heated air is delivered over the boards via a series of separate air channels. A bypass duct delivers a portion of or a totality of unreheated air to the outermost channels where the cooler air displaces a volume of the warmer air. As a result, the air in the outermost channels is cooler than the air in the interior channels. Air from the outermost channels is then directed over the exposed longitudinal edges of the boards.

Patent CA-2672443-A1 (CA)
Title: Near-field vector signal enhancement
Inventor: TAENZER JON C
IPC: G06F3/16
Filed: 2007-12-19
Abstract: Near-field sensing of wave signals, for example for application in headsets and earsets, is accomplished by placing two or more spaced-apart microphones along a line generally between the headset and the user's mouth. The signals produced at the output of the microphones will disagree in amplitude and time delay for the desired signal - the wearer's voice - but will disagree in a different manner for the ambient noises. Utilization of this difference enables recognizing, and subsequently ignoring, the noise portion of the signals and passing a clean voice signal. A first approach involves a complex vector difference equation applied in the frequency domain that creates a noise-reduced result. A second approach creates an attenuation value that is proportional to the complex vector difference, and applies this attenuation value to the original signal in order to effect a reduction of the noise. The two approaches can be applied separately or combined.

Title: Dual flush toilet valve
Inventor: BAUER DAVID WILLIAM
IPC: E03D1/14
Filed: 2009-07-21
Abstract: A dual flush valve includes an outflow pipe, a lower seal, and an upwardly extending guide. A lower flush valve reciprocates on the guide between a lowered position sealing the lower seal and a full volume flush position unsealing the lower seal with respect to the outflow pipe. An upper flush valve reciprocates on the guide between a lower sealed position sealing the upper seal with respect to the lower flush valve, an intermediate partial volume flush position unsealing the upper seal, and a higher full volume flush position unsealing the lower seal. An interconnecting lost motion member allows movement of the upper valve between the lower sealed position and the partial volume flush position without disturbing the lower valve, while transmitting additional upward movement of the upper valve to the lower valve to move the lower valve between the lowered position and the full volume flush position.
