Inventor: KENT FRASER CHARLES
IPC: B01D65/02
Filed: 2004-09-24
Abstract: Immersed hollow-fiber membrane filtration systems sometimes encounter process problems as a result of solids accumulation in and around the hollow-fibers. The solids can accumulate to the point where they begin to dewater and form a mud like substance known as sludge. In some embodiments of the invention there is provided a process for substantially preventing the accumulation of sludge build-up on membrane fibers and/or cleansing membrane fibers that have been fouled by a substantial sludge build-up. Many of these embodiments involve aerating a membrane tank in which the membrane fibers are immersed after the water level has been reduced to near the level of solids accumulation. In some embodiments of the invention, the energy released by bursting bubbles at the liquid-air interface is employed to prevent fouling of membrane fibers and/or cleanse fouled membrane fibers.

Title: Synthesis and applications of polymaleimide
Inventor: HARANT ADAM
IPC: C08G73/10
Filed: 2003-04-18
Abstract: A process for producing alkali metal polymaleimide salts by alkaline hydrolysis of maleimide polymers prepared by polymerization of maleimide monomers in the presence of a metal oxide and alcohol initiator or base. In particular, the process produces alkali metal polymaleimide salts with particular ratios of C-N and C-C connected maleimide-derived monomer units which are dependent on the particular initiator used to synthesize the maleimide polymer. The alkali metal polymaleimide salts, which have chelating and anti-scaling properties, are useful as chelating agents and detergent builders and as such are suitable biodegradable replacements for synthetic polymers and sodium polyaspartate.

Title: Dispenser device
Inventor: MEHAN TERRENCE JOHN
IPC: B65B39/00
Filed: 2003-06-20
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to materials handling and in particular to apparatus for dispensing materials in fine powder form, such as for example toner. According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a dispenser device including: a dispenser device body (10) having an inlet end (14) and an outlet end (16); a transport passage (12) arranged therebetween, wherein the cross-sectional internal dimension at the inlet end (22) of the transport passage (12) are equal to or smaller than the cross-sectional internal dimension at the outlet end (16) of the transport passage (12); at least two sealable connector sections (18, 20), located at or near the inlet (14) and outlet ends (16), the device when in use being sealingly connectable with filler vessels and unfilled vessels respectively. The arrangement is such that the sealable connection between said dispenser device and said unfilled vessel provides a substantially air tight seal so that air within the unfilled vessel is displaced by powder from the filler vessel and passes through the transport passage during the filling operation. This provides for a significant advantage in that the air causes agitation of the material within the passage, reducing the chances of clogging and blockage.

Abstract: Embodiments of an exemplary MEMS interferometric modulator comprise a movable layer and a fixed layer separated by an air gap. A driving scheme employs row/column actuation protocols which maintain voltages to the MEMS interferometric modulator that are above or below the voltage range necessary to place the MEMS interferometric modulator within a "hysteresis window" or "stability window." Stable operation of the MEMS  interferometric modulator is achieved by selecting mechanical design features that optimize the actuation and release times of the interferometric modulator. Some of the features affecting the release and actuation times include altering post spacing, altering internal stress or tension of the movable layer, altering the thickness or composition of the movable layer, altering the bulkiness of the tethers, perforating the movable layer and providing vial in the fixed layer.

IPC: C08K3/00
Filed: 2004-05-14
Abstract: A solid state process utilizes gas impregnation to enhance thermoforming of thermoplastic material. If the gas is plasticizing, the article is thereby platicized for thermoforming. In some embodiments, the invention provides foaming the polymer prior to or during thermoforming by creating high levels of dissolved gas during gas exposure. Foaming may proceed spontaneously upon decompression from gas pressure, or foaming may be enhanced by heating the polymer sheet (112) near to or above the polymer~s glass transition temperature, thereby producing plasticized foamed polymer for thermoforming.  When objects of unfoamed polymer are desired, foaming may be suppressed by thermoforming gas saturated articles under gas pressure. This process may be used to enhance the thermoforming performance of articles that have been previously foamed, including articles foamed by prior processes. In some embodiments, polymer is sufficiently platicized so that it may be foamed without heating. Platicization of the polymer is reversible.
