Title: Systeme de fermeture et anti-obstruction combine pour recipient vaporisateur
Inventor: LUND MARK THOMAS
IPC: B05B15/02
Filed: 1998-01-14
Abstract: L'invention concerne un récipient vaporisateur (10) comprenant un corps de récipient (12), un poussoir d'actionnement (16), et un dôme protecteur (14) placé entre le corps du récipient (10) et le poussoir (16). Le poussoir (16) présente un ajutage (22) et est réglable entre une position bloquée et une position débloquée par rotation de l'ajutage (22) autour de l'axe longitudinal du poussoir. La position débloquée permet un mouvement vertical du poussoir (16) pour distribuer le produit contenu dans le récipient (10), tandis que la position bloquée interdit ce mouvement vertical du poussoir (16) empêchant ainsi la distribution du produit hors du récipient (10). La position bloquée provoque en outre une coopération entre l'ajutage (22) et un élément anti-obstruction (18) relié au dôme protecteur et se prolongeant au dessus de ce dernier. L'élément anti-obstruction (18) présente sur sa face interne un obturateur (46) d'ajutage, empêchant le produit d'obstruer l'intérieur et le tour de l'ajutage (22) lorsque l'obturateur est en contact avec ledit ajutage (22).

Title: Signal d'horloge dynamique, non uniforme destine au reechantillonnage et au traitement de signaux issus de machines
Inventor: HERNANDEZ WALTER C
IPC: G01M13/02
Filed: 1996-12-05
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif (100) permettant de traiter des signaux quasi-périodiques issus de machines (200) et d'obtenir des résultats perfectionnés de diagnostic. Un signal dynamique, non uniforme appelé "signal d'horloge de vitesse" (36) gère le traitement des signaux. Ce traitement empêche les artefacts de fuite et une faible résolution en fréquence qui peuvent masquer des composantes des signaux et limitent la valeur diagnostique de la technologie existante. De précieuses informations de phase, qui sont détruites par les procédés d'échantillonnage existants gérés directement par des signaux de codeurs, peuvent être conservées. L'invention permet également de supprimer des composantes importantes des signaux de masquage sans pour autant modifier le signal. En évitant les artefacts, en conservant les informations de phase et en supprimant des composantes des signaux indésirables, la présente invention apporte un perfectionnement considérable par rapport à la technologie existante s'agissant du traitement de signaux en vue de diagnostiquer le bon état et l'efficacité de machines d'exploitation.

Title: Apparatus and method for independently controlling multiple material applicators
Inventor: BALTZ JAMES P
IPC: B05B5/10
Filed: 1999-11-08
Abstract: An apparatus for independent voltage, air pressure, and/or fluid pressure control of multiple material or coating applicators, such as paint spray guns, includes a multiple gun control board that allows a single power supply to provide voltage to a plurality of paint guns and an independent gun control board that can output a different voltage signal for each gun to generate different gun operating voltages, different air pressures, and/or different fluid pressures. The independent gun control board includes a separate relay and potentiometer for each gun to be controlled. The potentiometer is adjustable so that the output voltage of the independent gun control board can be varied. The output voltage can be used to control the paint spray gun operating voltage and/or be sent to a pressure transducer to adjust the air and/or fluid pressure at which the triggered gun operates. The present invention therefore allows independent voltage and/or pressure control of each gun without requiring each gun to have its own separate power supply and pressure regulator, greatly reducing space and the number of components needed to operate multiple guns.

Title: A method and apparatus for efficient bandwidth usage in a packet switching network
Inventor: TSENG YICHYUN
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1999-11-24
Abstract: A universal CODEC, in one implementation, comprised of multiple CODECs in a bank, each CODEC capable of encoding/decoding speech transmissions in a different format, replaces a customary installation of two CODECs in a BSC/MSC. Within the universal CODEC, a bypass feature is incorporated that is capable of automatically selecting the individual CODEC having a format that is appropriate to a received signal. A  BSC/MSC with a universal CODEC may receive any encoded voice signal and convert to the format appropriate to the receiving BSC/MSC. A second implementation of the universal CODEC utilizes multiple software applications and shares a common digital signal processor (DSP) core. Utilizing an automatic bypass feature and low frequency, in-band signals, the universal CODEC provides means to consume less bandwidth while transmitting speech signals only in compressed format through packet switching networks.

Inventor: HUSAIN HIDAYAT
IPC: B01D53/22
Filed: 2000-03-15
Abstract: A first reactor for treating wastewater has an anaerobic section, a plurality of gas transfer membrane modules, and an aerobic section. A biofilm is cultivated on the surface of the gas transfer membranes, the biofilm having aerobic and anoxic zones and being in fluid communication with the anaerobic section. The aerobic section is also in fluid communication with the anaerobic section. Wastewater flows through the reactor so as to be treated in the anaerobic section, the aerobic section and by contact with the biofilm. Treated wastewater leaves the reactor from the aerobic section flowing first through a liquid-solid separation device such as a clarifier. The supernatant from the clarifier is connected to the outlet and a portion of a settled sludge at the bottom of the clarifier is recycled to the reactor. Biological reduction of COD, BOD, nitrogen and phosphorous are achieved. In a second reactor, phosphorous is also removed chemically in a precipitation branch in fluid communication with the top of the anaerobic section which is at least periodically quiescent such that the mixed liquor may at least partially settle.
Patent CA-2301067-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAUGHARN JAMES A
IPC: A61L2/02
Filed: 1999-06-15
Abstract: The invention is based on the discovery that biological and non-biological materials can be sterilized, decontaminated, or disinfected by repeatedly cycling between relatively high and low pressures. Pressure cycling can be carried out at low, ambient, or elevated temperatures (e. g., from about -20.degree.C to about 95.degree.C). New methods based on this discovery can have applications in, for example, the preparation of vaccines, the sterilization of blood plasma.or serum, the decontamination of military devices, and the disinfection of medical equipment. The new methods can also be incorporated into production processes or research procedures.

Title: Polyolefin resin composition, their moldings and molding process
Inventor: UENO KOUHEI
IPC: B29C45/00
Filed: 2000-03-17
Abstract: A polyolefin resin composition which comprises a polyolefin resin, a light stabilizer having tertiary amino group, and a fatty acid metal salt. Even if this composition is injected repeatedly into a mold whose inside surface has a grain pattern, stable continuous production may be possible without any white powdery matter being deposited on the mold surface . Since injection-moldings having a surface grain pattern show excellent weather resistance and have a matted appearance having the gloss value (60°) of 1 to 3.5, they are suitable for use as automotive trim parts. As the light stabilizer, a hindered amine-based light stabilizer all the hydrogen atoms of the amino group of which have been substituted by the alkyl groups or acetyl groups is preferable, particularly bis(N-methyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl) sebacate is more preferable.
