Patent CA-2530144-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PETTY JON A
IPC: B60T17/22
Filed: 2004-07-01
Abstract: A hydraulic system servicing apparatus (10) includes an old fluid holding vessel (114) and a new fluid supply vessel (100) with a selector valve (92) which draws fluid from the holding vessel during flushing operations and draws fluid from the supply vessel during fluid replacement and bleeding operations.  A pump (102) moves the fluid through the selector valve (92) and supplies it to a flow reversing valve (66) which has a master cylinder line (76) and a plurality of bleeder valve lines (40,42,44,46) for connection to the hydraulic system. A shutoff valve (48,50,52,54,56) is provided in each bleeder valve line for directing fluid through the different branches of the hydraulic system. To flush the system, the flow reversing valve (66) is cycled to circulate the fluid from the old fluid holding vessel (114) in opposite directions and return it to the old fluid holding vessel. To replace the fluid and bleed the system, the fluid selector valve directs new fluid through the flow reversing valve into the system.

Title: Electronic device display system and method
Inventor: PAIL OPHER
IPC: G08B13/14
Filed: 2004-07-02
Abstract: A system and method are provided for displaying electronic devices operable when electrical power is supplied to them at respective operating voltages through respective power connectors. The system has a power supply providing input electrical current at a first voltage and cable structures each connected with the power supply and having a respective power connector electrically connecting with the power receiving structure of one of the electronic devices. The cable structures each include a voltage regulator system that receives the input electrical current, converts it to an output electrical current at an output voltage, and transmits it to the power connector, so as to transmit an operating electrical current to the associated electronic device. The voltage regulator system sets the output voltage of the output electrical current such that the operating electrical current delivered to the associated electronic device has a voltage that corresponds to the operating voltage of that device. This is accomplished by connecting the voltage regulator to a calibrating component with a selected electrical characteristic that sets the output voltage. A security circuit creates an alarm when separation of the electrical device from the system occurs.

IPC: A61L24/02
Filed: 2004-03-08
Abstract: The hydraulic cement is based on calcium phosphate for surgical use comprising A) a first component comprising powder particles of calcium phosphate; and B) a second component comprising water. Said calcium phosphate comprises anhydrous, amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) and said ACP is obtained by milling a calcium phosphate synthesized above 500~C. The cement according to the invention has the advantage of being very fast setting compared to prior art calcium phosphate cements. The setting reaction is finished much faster although the initial part of the reaction proceeds at the same speed as with known cements.

Title: Hydroxide scrubbing with fugitive gas recovery and nitrous oxide acidification with electrolytic retrieval of nitrogen dioxide gas, with hydroxide recycling subsystem
Inventor: CUNDLIFFE VIVA M
IPC: F23J15/04
Filed: 2006-06-27
Abstract: In a two-phase system of particulate removal from flue gases, a polishing step embodies a hydroxide ion scrubbing tower with catchment systems for mercury oxides, sulphuric acid, nitric acid and carbonic acid in relatively small amounts.  Filtration and fractional distillation will separate these species and will be recycled, reused or inerted and safely land filled. The second phase follows with a full-scale oxidation of the nitrous oxide gas left with carbon dioxide; the target is to oxidize with hydroxide ions to capture all the nitrogen in nitric acid form. Once this is achieved, the nitric acid is placed in large tanks and subjected to electrolytic technique. Because the carbon dioxide gas can escape from this scrubbing, it is separated dried and compressed. The nitric acid tank comprises a sealed covering and as the electricity is applied, the anode will produce oxygen, the cathode will produce both hydrogen and nitrogen dioxide gas. Each electrode is managed so that permeable membranes for hydrogen and oxygen gases are used downstream from a fume distillation column. The fume distillation columns will ensure product gas purity, including carbon dioxide gas. The fumes of nitric acid are then retained back to the main tanks until the molecules are electrolytically treated and the oxygen and hydrogen are captured and reformed into hydroxide ions, using a gas torch blending system and an electronic charging technique.  Hydroxide production then becomes integral to this process. The carbon dioxide gas is thus made fully separate from all other compounds and made ready for dry thermal reforming in order to harvest and recycle carbon fuel.
