Patent CA-2487884-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CARTER STEPHEN A
IPC: F16K31/40
Filed: 2004-11-18
Abstract: A fluid-flow control system for a valve comprises a valve body and a bi directional main flow passage between a first and second fluid areas. The shuttle piston having a first face in direct communication with the second area and a second face in communication therewith through a bleed orifice. The second face is alternately exposed to the first fluid area through a backpressure passage and second orifice which alters the pressure differential across the shuttle piston. A second valve such as a solenoid operates to either close the second orifice wherein the shuttle piston is operable under differential pressure between the first and second pressure areas, or to close the second orifice wherein the shuttle piston is operable under differential pressure between the second pressure area and the backpressure passage. Filters at the fluid inlet and outlets protect the sealing components therein.

Abstract: A manually-operated device for removing a stack of paper from a larger pile has a vertically-slidable frame mounted on a vertical column. The frame has a stack selector bar and a pile control bar which are mounted for a displacement across the pile. The selector bar has a blade, or prong, for inserting into the pile to define a selected stack. The pile control bar is mounted for engaging the pile at the same spot as the selector bar. Separating means are provided for pushing the control bar downwards to the pile when both the bars penetrate the stack. The selector bar is displaced to a point of destination of the stack while the displacement of the pile control bar across the pile, in a lateral direction, is arrested.    This arrangement enables removal of the stack from the pile while holding a remainder of the pile in place to prevent streaming of sheets. Means are provided for a rapid action of the separating means to reduce the possibility of streaming of the sheets.

Title: Method for passivating stainless steel product and method for producing stainless steel separator for fuel cell
Inventor: OGAWA YOSHIMITSU
IPC: H01M8/02
Filed: 2003-12-25
Abstract: A method for passivating stainless steel product, which comprises immersing a press-formed material in a treating solution having a temperature of 40 to 60°C and a pH of 9 to 12, to form a passivated coating film on the surface of the material, or alternatively which comprises carrying out degreasing, washing and the passivation treatment using the above treating solution by means of a spraying method. The passivation treatment by the method is free from the elution of a metal ion from the material and allows the achievement of passivation by the use of a single treating solution, resulting in the reduction of a passivation cost including a waste treatment cost, and the latter method allows degreasing, washing and a passivation treatment to be speeded and to be practiced with a reduced amount of treating solutions, due to the employment of a splaying process.

Filed: 1996-10-23
Abstract: Freshly printed sheets are transferred from one printing unit to another by transfer cylinders each having an ink repellent, electrically conductive, striped flexible jacket covering that is movable relative to the sheet support surface of the transfer cylinder. The jacket covering is made of a flexible fabric material that is pre-stretched, pressed flat, cut to size and treated with an ink repellent compound and is also treated with an anti-static ionic compound or is otherwise rendered electrically conductive by one or more conductive strands. Electrostatic charges carried by the freshly printed sheets are discharged through the ink repellent, electrically conductive, flexible jacket covering into the grounded transfer cylinder. A low friction, electrically conductive cylinder base covering that includes center alignment marks is secured to the transfer cylinder for engaging the flexible jacket covering. The ink repellent, electrically conductive flexible jacket covering is provided with alignment center marks and alignment stripes so that the flexible jacket covering can be precisely aligned with ease and secured over the gripper edge, tail edge and side edges of the transfer cylinder.
