Inventor: OTTEN MICHAEL JOHANNES
IPC: C02F3/28
Filed: 2007-01-05
Abstract: The invention is directed to a process for the anaerobic purification of waste water using a sludge bed system, which process comprises feeding waste water, and optionally recycle water, to the lower part of an upflow reactor, containing mainly granular biomass thus producing biogas in the treatment passing the resulting gas/liquid/solid mixture upward and separating the gas and solid from the liquid in a three phase separator and thereby generating an anaerobic effluent that is withdrawn from the top of the separator, the improvement comprising separating the solids from the liquid in a separator, wherein, above the separation of the gas from the liquid phase, tilted plates, tubes or other tilted internals are installed in the three phase separator body to increase the effective settling surface, to an upflow reactor suitable for this process as well as to a three phase separator.
Patent CA-2640331-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HARADA TSUTOMU
IPC: A61K31/4439
Filed: 2007-02-22
Abstract: It is intended to provide a pharmaceutical composition containing an azole compound which is stable and useful as an antifungal drug. According to the invention, the object could be achieved by adding a basic compound such as magnesium carbonate hydroxide, triethylamine or arginine to the azole compound which is unstable to acid. The pharmaceutical composition is stable without causing degradation of the compound even if a condition such as temperature or humidity is changed during production or storage. Further, it is useful as a therapeutic agent for deep mycosis because systemic administration thereof can be achieved by applying it to an oral agent or an injectable agent.

Title: Method and apparatus for adaptively controlling signals
Inventor: MCCALLISTER RONALD D
IPC: H04B17/40
Filed: 2007-04-25
Abstract: A signal processing system according to various aspects of the present invention includes an excursion signal generator, a scaling system and a filter system. The excursion signal generator identifies a peak portion of a signal that exceeds a threshold and generates a corresponding excursion signal. The scaling system applies a real scale factor to contiguous sets of excursion samples in order to optimize peak-reduction performance. The filter system filters the excursion signal to remove unwanted frequency components from the excursion signal. The filtered excursion signal may then be subtracted from a delayed version of the original signal to reduce the peak. The signal processing system may also control power consumption by adjusting the threshold. The signal processing system may additionally adjust the scale of the excursion signal and/or individual channel signals, such as to meet constraints on channel noise and output spectrum, or to optimize peak reduction. The magnitude threshold, excursion signal and/or individual channel signals may also be adaptively adjusted based on, for example, a channel signal quality such as a noise level specification.

Inventor: GILES STUART
IPC: F24J3/08
Filed: 2007-08-03
Abstract: Water, air, other fluid flows downwardly through a vertical conduit which extends from the surface of an underground mine to a container located in an opening at or near the bottom of the shaft.  The fluid in the container remains isolated from the walls of the opening to prevent contamination by minerals in the walls.  The fluid remains in the container while its temperature rises by geothermal action. The heated fluid is then pumped through a conduit to a station at which the ambient temperature is lower than that of the fluid. Thermal energy is extracted from the heated fluid at the station.

Title: Fins and kerfs in extruded aluminum door frames and frame elements
Inventor: KERSCHER LAWRENCE FRANK
IPC: E06B1/34
Filed: 2009-02-12
Abstract: A door frame employs extruded aluminum jamb moldings, including extruded jambs, or jamb cover moldings in combination with jamb substrates. The extruded aluminum molding includes a mounting fin kerf. The kerf is generally boot-shaped, having an inwardly-disposed foot portion and an opening having an ankle-shaped cross-section. The mounting fin can be generally rigid, such as an extruded aluminum fin or a generally rigid polymeric fin. The kerf, in combination with the mounting fin, which has a bulbous rigid base, facilitates locking the fin in an erect orientation at about 75 degrees to about 90 degrees relative to the jamb body or the jamb substrate. The kerf/fin combination further provides improved ease of release of the fin from the erect orientation and facilitates rotating/retracting the fin into contact with the jamb body or jamb substrate.

Abstract: This invention is directed to guide pads that can be adjusted to a desired distance from the guide arm while mounted on the guide arm. The pad is machined so that the surface is level. The pad is then mounted on the guide arm and leveled using an adjustable level means to achieve the desired distance of the pad from the guide arm. By having the adjustable leveling means to adjust the guide pad, the desired distance of the pad from the guide arm can be can be maintained without shimming and machining the pad after the pad is mounted on the guide arm. With the use of an adjustable leveling means, materials harder than Babbitt can be used and readjusted to the desired distance without machining the pad. If the pad becomes so worn that the leveling means cannot adjust the pad to the desired distance from the guide arm, the pad can be removed and machined. Afterwards the machined pad can be mounted on the guide arm and leveled to the proper distance.
