Patent CA-2240566-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HULTINE WILLIAM
IPC: A62C27/00
Filed: 1998-06-12
Abstract: A dump valve apparatus is disclosed for dumping water from a firetruck. The apparatus includes a flange sealingly secured to the firetruck, the flange defining an opening for the flow therethrough of the water. A faceplate has an inner and an outer face which define an aperture, the faceplate cooperating with the flange. A seal is disposed between the flange and the inner face of the faceplate such that when the faceplate is urged towards the flange, the flange and the inner face are sealed relative to each other. A dump valve chute is rigidly secured to the faceplate and extends through the aperture of the faceplate, the dump chute defining a valve seat. A hinge has a proximal and a distal end, the proximal end being pivotally connected to the inner face of the faceplate. The hinge freely pivots within the opening of the flange. A valve door has an inner and an outer surface, the valve door being pivotally secured to the hinge between the proximal and distal ends thereof. A seal is secured to the outer surface of the valve door, the seal being disposed between the outer surface of the valve door and the valve seat. The arrangement is such that when the hinge is disposed in a closed disposition thereof, the seal sealingly cooperates with the valve seat for inhibiting the flow of the water from the firetruck and when the hinge is pivoted to an open disposition thereof, the hinge pivots through the opening of the flange so that the valve door and the seal are urged away from the valve seat for permitting dumping of the water from the firetruck through the opening and the dump valve chute.

Title: Endolumenal prosthesis and method of use in bifurcation regions of body lumens
Inventor: COLOMBO ANTONIO
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1998-09-11
Abstract: An endolumenal medical device assembly is provided for use in a bifurcation region of a body lumen. An expandable prosthesis, preferably an endolumenal supp ort device such as a stent, is included in the assembly and is adjustable from a rad ially collapsed condition to a radially expanded condition. The expandable prosthesis further includes a prosthesis passageway and a side port through which the prosthesis pa ssageway communicates externally of the prosthesis. A dilator or an access device is enga ged within the prosthesis passageway and also through the side port while the expand able prosthesis is in the radially collapsed condition. By coupling a guidewire to an access device engaged within the side port and positioning the guidewire therein, the e xpandable prosthesis may be positioned in the bifurcation region such that its distal end portion is in a first branch lumen extending from the bifurcation, its proximal end portion is in a common proximal lumen of the bifurcation region, and the side port is aligned wi th an entrance zone to a second branch lumen extending from the bifurcation. When the expandable prosthesis is positioned at the bifurcation region in this orientatio n, the access device maintains percutaneous translumenal access to the second branch lumen thr ough the prosthesis passageway and the side port while the expandable prosthesis is a djusted from the radially collapsed condition to the radially expanded condition. In add ition, a dilator when engaged within the side port is adapted to expand the bore formed b y the side port from an initial inner diameter to a larger expanded inner diameter. A second, lateral expandable prosthesis can also be coupled to the first expandable prosth esis at a location adjacent to the side port such that the dilator or access device extend ing through the side port is engaged within a lateral prosthesis lumen extending through the lateral expandable prosthesis.

Filed: 1999-02-02
Abstract: A mower for harvesting crop includes windrow forming housing where crop is discharged after being cut. A windrow grouper attachment includes a crop conveyor attached to the main frame of the mower by a vertically swingable support which is selectively disposable in a lowered working position where it intercepts crop exiting the windrow forming housing and transfers it side ways and in a raised non-use position wherein it permits crop exiting from the mower to be deposited into a windrow directly behind the mower. The vertically swingable support for the crop conveyor is mounted to a slide that is in turn mounted for shifting laterally on a transverse beam of the mower main frame. By selectively manipulating the conveyor among its working, non-use and shifted positions, it is possible to deposit three windrows alongside each other for being subsequently picked up together for processing by another machine, such as an ensilage harvester, for example.

Title: Outboard hydraulic steering assembly with reduced support bracket rotation
Inventor: MCFADYEN ANDREW
IPC: F02B61/04
Filed: 1999-01-22
Abstract: A hydraulic steering assembly applies a force to a tiller arm of a marine, outboard propulsion unit and rotates the propulsion unit about a steering axis between a center position and hard over positions to each side of the center position. The propulsion unit is supported for arcuate movement about a tilt axis which is generally perpendicular to the steering axis. The steering assembly includes a hydraulic steering cylinder with an elongated piston rod reciprocatingly mounted within the cylinder for movement along a piston rod axis. A pair of support arms are pivotable about the tilt axis and are connected to the piston rod, allowing arcuate movement of the rod about the tilt axis, while maintaining the rod axis parallel to the tilt axis. A member is pivotally mounted on the tiller arm for pivoting about a first axis which is parallel to the steering axis. The cylinder arm is connected to the cylinder and extends radially outwards from the piston rod axis. The cylinder arm is pivotally connected to the member for pivoting about the second link axis which is parallel to the piston rod axis. The cylinder arm moves through a partially rotated position when the propulsion unit rotates from the center position to either hard over position. The second link axis and the rod axes are on a plane parallel to the steering axis at the partially rotated position.

Title: Method and system for feeding comminuted fibrous material
Inventor: STROMBERG C BERTIL
IPC: B60W40/076
Filed: 1997-10-07
Abstract: A system and method for feeding comminuted cellulosic fibrous material such as wood chips to the top of a treatment vessel such as a continuous digester (11) provide enhanced simplicity, operability, and maintainability by eliminating the high pressure transfer device conventionally used in the prior art. Instead of a high pressure transfer device the steamed and slurried chips are pressurized using one or more slurry pumps (251, 251I) located at least thirty feet below the top of the treatment vessel and for pressurizing the slurry to a pressure of at least about 10 bar gauge. A return line (235) from the top of the digester may, but need not necessarily, be operatively connected to one or more pumps and if connected to the pumps the pressure in the return line may be reduced utilizing a pressure reduction valve (58 and/or a flash tank (253). Steam from the flash tank may be used in steaming the chips. Pressure relief prevention may be provided by isolation valves (65-69) in the lines leading to and from the top of the treatment vessel controlled by a controller (69) which is responsive to the pressure sensed in the slurry line leading to the top of the treatment vessel.

The cap further includes a second flange extending outwardly from the half sleeve opposite the V-shaped groove, and the second flange is alignable with the first flange when the clamping member is in the closed configuration thereof. The cap has a first contoured surface formed thereon at the exterior of the half sleeve. A support member is also provided for aligned abutting placement against the clamping member, the support member having a second contoured surface which is alignable and nestable with the first contoured surface of the clamping member to restrict movement of the support member with respect to the clamping member. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a remotely adjustable mirror assembly includes the clamping and support apparatus as described, as well as an adjusting member mounted to the support member for adjusting spatial orientation of a mirror, the adjusting member being electrically connectable to a power source for adjustment thereof. A mirror is attached to the adjusting member and is adjustable thereby, and a cover is further provided for protecting the clamping member, the support member, and the adjusting member from inclement weather.
