Title: Chemical reactor with pressure swing adsorption
Inventor: KEEFER BOWIE G
IPC: B01D53/04
Filed: 2000-06-09
Abstract: A chemical reaction is performed with separation of the product(s) and reactant(s) by pressure swing adsorption (PSA), using an apparatus having a plurality of adsorbers cooperating with first and second valve assemblies in a PSA module. The PSA cycle is characterized by multiple intermediate pressure levels between higher and lower presures of the PSA cycle. Gas flows enter or exit the PSA module at the intermediate pressure levels as well as the higher and lower pressure levels, entering from compressor stage(s) or exiting into exhauster or expander stages, under substantially steady conditions of flow and pressure. The PSA module comprises a rotor containing the adsorbers and rotating within a stator, with ported valve faces between the rotor and stator to control the timing of the flows entering or exiting the adsorbers in the rotor.

Title: Adapter mandrel used in conjunction with premolded high voltage connectors and connector components
Inventor: LUZZI GLENN J
IPC: H02G15/105
Filed: 2002-04-15
Abstract: A mandrel, useful in high voltage cable splicing and termination operations, having a tapered surface and longitudinal ribs for assembly onto a high-voltage cable to be connected to a premolded or extruded high-voltage component. As the premolded high-voltage component is passed over the mandrel, the mandrel expands the internal cavity of the high-voltage component and may further reduce the loss of lubrication within the internal cavity of the high-voltage component thereby allowing for the high voltage component to be easily installed onto the high--voltage cable. After the high voltage component passes over the apparatus, the high-voltage component may return to a lesser-expanded shape providing a snug fit around the cable member. The high-voltage component may then compress around the cable, with a uniform layer of lubricant remaining in between interior cavity of the high-voltage component and the outer layer of the cable.

Title: Sealed gas burner assembly
Inventor: STEVENS WILLIAM E T
IPC: F23Q3/00
Filed: 1991-12-24
Abstract: A sealed gas burner assembly (1) provides fast spark ignition of the primary air/gas mixture by supporting the electrode (47, 101) in an electrically insulative member (51, 103) that is disposed in a fluid-tight sealing engagement through the electrode aperture (31) of a burner head, whereby ignition is facilitated by providing an ignition port (32) directly adjacent an exterior terminal end portion (59, 111) of the electrode. The burner head (5) has a low profile defined partly by a circumferential curved side-wall (31) which eliminates turbulence in secondary airflow to the burner ports during high burner rates. A venturi tube (35) providing the primary air/gas mixture to the burner and ignition is fully contained within an internal chamber (5, 7) of the burner head. The assembly is detachably secured to the burner opening (71) of a range top through a twist lock engagement (75, 81) therewith, and is also provided with a seal (93) to prevent spillovers from leaking between the assembly and the range top into the burner box.

Title: Control of gaseous sterilization
Inventor: WATLING DAVID
IPC: A61L2/20
Filed: 2001-03-21
Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of sterilising a sealable enclosure comprising the steps of initially adjusting the relative humidity in the enclosure to a level substantially below ambient, circulating a carrier gas to the enclosure at a temperature raised above ambient and supplying a sterilant vapour or vapours to the circulating carrier gas sufficient to saturate substantially the gas. On cooling in the enclosure, a condensate of the sterilant vapour is formed on surfaces in the enclosure, which is measured whilst continuing to circulate the gas/vapour until a required amount of condensate has been formed on said surface. Supply of sterilant vapour to the gas is terminated whilst circulating the saturated gas/vapour continues to maintain the condensate on the enclosure surfaces for a predetermined period of time. Finally the sterilant vapour is extracted from the chamber.

Title: Clear package
Inventor: MENCELES ANDREW Z
IPC: B65D79/00
Filed: 2002-11-06
Abstract: A clear package for enabling a packaged product to appear to be floating therein in an appealing and highly visible form. The package of the present invention comprises a sleeve having two pairs of opposing flat walls extending from a base, one pair being relatively thin and the other being relatively wide. At each end of each pair of relatively thin walls is an orifice. The package also comprises a pair of caps, one being placed on each end of the sleeve and comprising a pair of flat sides and a pair of convex, curved sides. On each flat side lies a protrusion having a triangular cross-section, corresponding to the orifice on each end of the sleeve. The package additionally comprises a support therein having an intermediate portion, which in turn has an indented envelope for holding the product. The placement of the caps on each end of sleeve enables the protrusions to engage with the corresponding orifices, thereby securing the support and the product therein, and causing the opposing wide walls to bow outwards. The manual pressing of the bowed walls causes the caps to disengage from the sleeve.

Title: Track model constraint for gps position
Inventor: MCGUFFIN JAMES O
IPC: G01S19/49
Filed: 2001-06-22
Abstract: A track model is created for use with a GPS receiver. In one embodiment, the track model is a set of planar surfaces [Fig. 1, item 170] which approximate the contiguous surface on which navigation takes place [item 160]. The GPS  receiver searches for an appropriate planar surface associated with its approximate position [item 166]. Having found the appropriate planar surface, the GPS receiver constrains its position using the planar surface associated with its approximate position. Using the track model improves the accuracy of the computed position at the time and improves the ambiguity estimation process so that positions with greatly improved accuracy are available sooner.
