Title: Method and apparatus for direct oxygen injection with a reactant stream into a fluidized bed reactor
Inventor: WAGNER MATTHEW LINCOLN
IPC: B01F23/10
Filed: 1996-08-23
Abstract: A system provides an oxygen-bearing gas and a gaseous reactant stream to a fluidized bed reactor. A sparger causes an entraining of the oxygen bearing gas into the reactant gas stream. A feed line couples the sparger to the reactor's fluidized bed and introduces the reactant gas stream and entrained oxygen-bearing gas directly into contact with the fluidized bed. A controller controls both the amount of oxygen-bearing gas and the gaseous reactant so that, at the point of feed injection, the fluidized bed catalyst does not experience an oxygen deficiency. To assure safety, the reactant content of the combined feed and oxygen stream is maintained above an upper flammability limit, preferably with a safety margin of at least 25%. In one embodiment, the system enables the production of acrylonitriles from a feed stream comprising ammonia, propylene and oxygen.

Abstract: A floating row crop cultivator rig is supported behind a rigid guide tire.  A guide wheel standard straddles a bracket which mounts the forward end of a rig parallel bar linkage to a toolbar.  A tool support depends from the aft end of the parallel bar linkage and carries a ground engaging element directly rearwardly of the guide tire.  Instead of a conventional rig tire to control rig depth, an adjustable length member with a lost motion connection controls the lowermost position of the linkage and thus of the tool support while permitting upward movement of the linkage when an obstacle is encountered.  A rod threaded through a trunnion on the tool support has a forward end supported in a slotted bracket on the lower bar of the parallel linkage to adjustably limit the lowermost position of the linkage while permitting the linkage to pivot upwardly against the bias of rig weight and an adjustable down pressure spring arrangement to clear obstacles.  A spring trip standard may supported by the tool support to additionally provide trip protection.

Title: Apparatus for scanning elevator call buttons
Inventor: MURPHY JAMES L
IPC: B66B1/46
Filed: 1997-02-04
Abstract: An apparatus for scanning and illuminating elevator car call button switches includes an individual switch and illumination circuit for each floor served by the car and a control circuit connected in a row/column matrix with the individual circuits for scanning for actuated switches and illuminating push buttons associated with registered calls. Each individual circuit has a switch module which responds to scanning signals from the control circuit by generating a switch actuated signal when the call button switch located therein is actuated. The control circuit generates illumination signals to each individual circuit for which a call has been registered to activate LED's and light the associated push button. The control circuit generates the scanning signal, reads the switch actuated signals and generates the illumination signals during separate timed cycles. A pulse stretcher module in the individual circuits responds to the illumination signals to maintain the LED's lighted for a significantly longer time than the duration of the timed cycles. The switch and illumination circuit and the control circuit cooperate to generate and respond to different magnitude switch actuated signals when an access control switch is utilized to lock out selected floors.

Title: Process based on the inhibition of phosphatases for detecting and quantifying diarrhoetic shellfish poison
Inventor: BOTANA LOPEZ LUIS MIGUEL
IPC: C12Q1/42
Filed: 1996-05-24
Abstract: Process for detecting and quantifying diarrhoetic shellfish poison (DSP) based on the inhibition of phosphatases. The presence of DSP-producing red waters contaminates the molluscs which have to be constantly controlled before they are commercialised. The present technique is the bioassay which comprises the administration of a mollusc extract to rats; the result is positive if the rat dies before twelve hours. Said method is slow, costly, erratic and lacks specificity. The process of the invention detects and quantifies the toxines by measuring the inhibition of phosphatases partially purified. The phosphate inhibition is quantified by using as support a microtitration plate, and eliciting the enzymatic activity with a phosphatase substrate which, according to its chemical characteristics, is converted into a fluorescent, luminescent or colour product. Said technique is fast, economical and reliable. The sector which can beneficiate from this invention is the mollusc canning and producing industry.

Patent CA-2210024-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WAHLER RICHARD E
IPC: H02J9/00
Filed: 1997-07-15
Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing power management functions in a computer or other electronic system which includes a primary power supply, a trickle power supply and a battery back-up power supply. A power management circuit includes a storage element which stores an indication of the current turn-on or turn-off condition of the primary power supply. The power management circuit also includes a group of logic gates which process signals which are supplied to the storage element under normal operating conditions to control the turn-on or turn-off condition of the primary power supply. The power management circuit senses when the trickle supply is deactivated due to a line power failure or the like, and subsequently switches the power supply inputs of the storage element and certain of the logic gates from the trickle supply to the battery back-up supply. A blocking signal is generated which prevents those signals which require the trickle supply for logic integrity from being applied to the storage element. In this manner, only signals which do not require the trickle supply for logic integrity are applied to the storage element while the trickle supply is deactivated.

Title: A transfer assembly for a medicament container having a splashless valve
Inventor: JANSEN HUBERT
IPC: A61J1/10
Filed: 1997-08-05
Abstract: A resealable transfer assembly for a container such as a bottle or vial featuring a membrane for selectively opening or sealing a fluid path between thebottle and a medical delivery device introduced into the assembly. The assembly includes a body disposed on the bottle, and a luer connector hub which may be separately provided with the body or formed integrally therewith. A free plug rests in a cavity defined within the luer connector hub. The free plug includes an orifice dimensioned to accept a luer tip associated with the medical delivery device. A membrane, preferably formed from an elastomeric material, is secured across both the opposed end of the luer connector hub and the open top of the bottle, and may be retained between the top surface of the bottle and the body The membrane preferably includes a central area sealing the opposed end of the luer connector hub from the open top of the bottle, with one or more fluid openings defined on a portion of the membrane outside of the central area. When the luer tip is inserted into the orifice of the free plug, aforce is exerted onto the central area to deflect the membrane towards the interior of the vial, urging the membrane from sealing contact with the body and, hence, opening the fluid path between the interior of the bottle and the medical delivery device. The membrane is resealed with the body prior to removal of the luer tip from the orifice to prevent fluid splashback from the container.
