Abstract: A hydraulic governor device for use with a rotational shaft of a door assembly for controlling a rotation of said rotational shaft. The device includes a sleeve; first and second end coverings mounted respectively onto first and second ends of the sleeve so as to define an hydraulic flow path; a fluid substantially filling the hydraulic flow path; an input shaft extending through the ends coverings and the chamber, and being operatively connected to the rotational shaft of the door assembly; first and second pistons disks positioned inside the chamber and mounted about the input shaft, the pistons disks being connected to each other and being slidably movable along the input shaft; and a reciprocating assembly operatively connected between the input shaft and the piston disks and cooperating with the same for converting a rotation of the input shaft into a reciprocating movement of the pistons disks within a chamber, so that said reciprocating movement of the pistons disks inside the chamber causes in turn the fluid to travel along a reciprocating movement along the hydraulic flow path, said reciprocating movement of the fluid along the hydraulic flow path causing a damping effect of the rotation of the input shaft and thus controlling the rotation of the rotational shaft of the door assembly via a damping effect.

Patent CA-2445088-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KUHN TORSTEN
IPC: G01M3/26
Filed: 2002-04-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a system for monitoring systems, which in turn monitor the impermeability of a hollow body. A test body (2), which generates a defined increase in pressure in a measuring chamber (4) over a predetermined time period, is used in the system in place of the hollow body. Said defined increase in pressure corresponds exactly to the pressure increase generated by a hollow body with negligible leakage, the hollow body being thus recognised as leakproof. The test body can be configured as a glass capillary, which runs in a sealed manner between two chambers at different air pressures.  Alternatively, the test body can consist of a substance, which during storage absorbs moisture from the ambient atmosphere in a defined manner. A vacuum created around the body removes moisture from the test body and said moisture evaporates at least partially in the vacuum, causing in turn an increase in pressure in the chamber. This pressure increase corresponds to the increase in pressure that is still acceptable for a hollow body to be tested.

Patent CA-2451388-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAY ERNEST B
IPC: F16K15/03
Filed: 2002-06-14
Abstract: A check valve (10) is provided to maintain fluid flow in a single desired direction through a conduit. The check valve (10) requires a greater fluid pressure to open the check valve to allow fluid to pass in a desired direction than an amount of pressure required to keep the check valve in its open position. This variable opening force performance is provided by providing a closure arm (340) exerting a closure force on a flapper (120) urging the flapper toward its closed position. Contact between the closure arm (340) and the flapper (120) occurs between a follower (360) on the closure arm (340) and a cam surface (126) on the flapper (120). A contour of the cam surface on the flapper, and especially a hump (124) on the cam surface causes the closure arm (340) to exert a variable amount of force on the flapper (120) depending on the position of the flapper. When the flapper (120) is closed a relatively large amount of force is exerted on teh flapper. When the flapper (120) is open a relatively smaller amount of force is exerted on the flapper by the closure arm (340). The dimensions and contours of the follower (360) and the cam surface (126) can be customized to provide desired closure arm force exerting characteristics for the check valve (10) of this invention.

Title: Cathodic protection
Inventor: WHITMORE DAVID
IPC: C23F13/00
Filed: 2002-07-24
Abstract: Cathodic protection of a structure including a steel member at least partly buried in a covering layer, such as steel rebar in a concrete structure, is provided by embedding sacrificial anodes into the concrete layer at spaced positions over the layer and connecting the anodes to the rebar. The anode body is formed, by pressing together finely divided powder, flakes or fibers of a sacrificial anode material such as zinc to define a porous body having pores therein. The sacrificial anode material of the anode member is directly in contact with the covering material by being buried or inserted as a tight fit into a drilled hole so that any expansion forces therefrom would be applied to the concrete with the potential of causing cracking. The pores are arranged however such that corrosion products from corrosion of the anode body are received into the pores sufficiently to prevent expansion of the anode body to an extent which would cause cracking of the covering material.

Title: Preservation of produce
Inventor: STANLEY ROGER ANTHONY
IPC: A23L19/00
Filed: 2002-08-29
Abstract: Food safety and longevity of still respiring fruit or vegetable pieces are enhanced reliant on a treatment process where the cut surfaces (preferably cleaned of cell debrit) are subjected to both UV light irradiation and heating so as, in concert, render the surfaces more sterile. The heating also has the effect of reducing ethylene production and at least depressing respiration.  Such a process is preferably in addition to an anti-oxidant impregnation. The overall process in its preferred forms significantly extends the life and apparent freshness of, for example, apple slices when kept post treatment (eg;  25 days) over the temperature range of from 0 ~C to 8 ~C.
