Patent CA-2103608-A1 (CA)
Title: Optically switched sensor array
Inventor: SHAW H JOHN
IPC: H04R23/00
Filed: 1993-08-09
Abstract: ABSTRACT      A fiber optic array having a plurality of subarrays of optical sensors, the subarrays being spaced apart along and optically connected to input and output buses through associated input and output optically actuated optical switches in series in the input and output buses. First and second light signal pulse trains are applied to one and other ends of the input bus and a third light signal pulse train is applied to one end of the output bus.  The input switches are sequentially responsive to each first light signal pulse on the input bus for passing to an associated subarray a pulse of second light signal that is simultaneously present at that input switch such that second light signal pulses of the same magnitude are applied to each subarray.  Associated output switches are sequentially responsive to third light signal pulses for passing trains of second light signal pulses from the arrays onto the output bus and to processing equipment.
Patent CA-2104523-A1 (CA)
Title: Gas turbine fuel nozzle assembly
Inventor: DONLAN JOHN P
IPC: F23R3/28
Filed: 1993-08-20
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A fuel  nozzle assembly is provided having the capability of burning either gaseous or liquid fuel, or both simultaneously, along with steam injection.  The nozzle has a nozzle body that is attached to a nozzle cap by inner, outer and middle  sleeves.    The  sleeves  form  inner and outer concentric annular conduits between themselves for directing the flow of gaseous fuel and steam from the fuel and steam inlet ports to the outlet ports.   In addition, the inner sleeve forms a central chamber in which an oil fuel nozzle is disposed.  Radial passages in the nozzle body allow cooling air to flow over the oil nozzle and through the oil outlet port, thereby preventing coking at the nozzle tip.  The fuel nozzle assembly is originally built, and the nozzle cap is replaced,  by sliding the sleeves forward and aft on the assembly so as to gain access to the next innermost sleeve.

Title: Method for increasing the internal bulk of wet-pressed tissue
Inventor: HERMANS MICHAEL A
IPC: D21F11/00
Filed: 1993-08-27
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure The internal bulk of a tissue web can be improved during manufacturing of the basesheet by subjecting the tissue web to differential pressure while supported on a coarse fabric at a consistency of about 30 percent or greater.  The differential pressure, such as by applying vacuum suction to the underside of the coarse fabric, causes the wet web to deflect into the openings or depressions in the fabric and "pop" back, resulting in a substantial gain in thickness or internal bulk.  The method is especially adapted to improve the internal bulk of wet-pressed tissue webs.
Patent CA-2106136-A1 (CA)
Title: Oilfield valve
Inventor: MCKNIGHT DEVEREUX J
IPC: E21B/
Filed: 1993-09-14
Abstract: A valve comprises a valve body having threaded connections on each end. A unit handled valve mechanism includes a cage carrying a spring loaded floating valve ball. The valve mechanism is placed in and removed from the valve body without the use of special tools. The valve mechanism includes lip type polyseals allowing pressure from below to leak past a lower valve seat so pressure from below causes the valve ball to seal only against an upper seat assembly. The only segment of the valve ball in substantial compression is immediately adjacent the upper seat assembly. An actuator for the valve fits onto a connector between the actuator and ball in only one manner, so the indicator on the actuator correctly points at the correct indicia on the valve body describ-ing the valve condition, i.e. open or closed. An improved connector between the actuator and the valve ball minimizes the potential of deformation due to abuse.

Title: Polymer composition
Inventor: HOOD KATHLEEN
IPC: C08L71/02
Filed: 1992-05-21
Abstract: A polymer composition, for example for a wire insulation or a heat-shrinkable article, comprises a polymer containing polyether units and a flame retardant package comprising red phosphorus and an ammonium phosphate e.g. ammonium polyphosphate or melamine phosphate. Preferably the polymer is a polyether ester and especially a segmented polyether ester block copolymer derived from terephthalic acid, polytetramethylene ether glycol and 1,4-butanediol.  The combination of red phosphorus and the ammonium phosphate exhits a synergistic improvement in flame retardancy in the polyether ester copolymers but no such improvement in similar polymers such as polyester ester copolymers that do not contain polyether units.
