Patent CA-2435356-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JONES THOMAS R
IPC: F16K31/06
Filed: 2000-07-04
Abstract: A self-latching solenoid valve assembly including a valve body having a pressurized air supply inlet port for communicating with a source of pressurized air and at least one cylinder port. A valve member is supported in the valve body so as to be movable between predetermined positions to selectively direct pressurized air from the inlet port to at least one cylinder port. A biasing member is employed to move the valve member in one direction and a solenoid assembly is used to move the valve member in an opposite direction. The solenoid assembly includes a housing with a solenoid coil supported therein and a fixed ferromagnetic pole piece having a passage extending therethrough with a pushpin movably supported in the passage. A ferromagnetic latch is also supported by the housing and spaced from the pole piece. A permanent magnet is disposed between the latch and the pole piece. The magnet is movable toward the pole piece under the influence of an electromagnetic flux generated by a pulse of current generated through the coil in one direction thereby driving the permanent magnet against the pushpin to move the valve member to one predetermined position. In addition, the permanent magnet is also movable away from the pole piece and toward the latch under the influence of an electromagnetic flux generated by a pulse of current flowing through the coil in an opposite direction. When this occurs, the biasing member moves the valve member to another predetermined position. A control circuit for changing the direction of the current through the coil is also disclosed.

Title: Universal setting tool for adhesively bonded rebar and threaded rod anchors
Inventor: ERNST RICHARD J
IPC: B25B31/00
Filed: 2003-09-03
Abstract: A universal setting tool comprises a collet housing for mounting within a chuck mechanism of a rotary drive tool. An axially oriented bore extends into the interior of the collet housing, and a radially expansible and contractible coil spring is disposed within the bore. After the free end portion of an anchor member has been inserted into the spring member, the rotary drive tool, and therefore the collet housing member, is rotated in the clockwise direction so as to effectively cause radial contraction of the spring member such that the spring member tightly engages the anchor member. Rotation of the rotary drive tool in the opposite direction releases the grip of the spring member upon the anchor member. The spring member can engage different anchors having different diametrical extents.

Abstract: A microprocessor architecture (30) for executing byte compiled Java programs directly in hardware. The microprocessor targets the lower end of the embedded systems domain and features two orthogonal programming models, a Java model and a RISC model. The entities share a common data path and operate independently, although not in parallel. The microprocessor includes a combined register file in which the Java module (31) sees the elements in the register file (35) as a circular operand stack and the RISC module (33) sees the elements as a conventional register file. The integrated microprocessor architecture facilitates access to hardware-near instructions and provides powerful interrupt and instruction trapping capabilities.

Inventor: JEFFERSON RICHARD
IPC: F04B7/00
Filed: 2001-10-15
Abstract: A continuous operation metering valve, based on true volumetric positive displacement technology, uses an innovative dual rack and drive pinion design that enables the valve (34) to dispense from one meter chamber (32) while the other meter chamber (32) is filling. This provides greater dispense cycle rates because it does not require a fill or reload period. With an optional encoder-controlled motor (42), the inventive metering valve is capable of almost unlimited precision dispensing with "on-the-fly" adjustment capability.  The metering valve is easily disassembled and cleaned, using stainless steel wetted path components and Teflon seals for the widest range of chemical compatibility. An integral electronic board, mounted to the side of the valve, may be utilized to control the 4-way directional valve and motor direction (when not using a rotary encoder control).

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à des formes posologiques à libération contrôlée destinées à une administration orale. Cette forme posologique comprend un agent thérapeutique qui est métabolisé dans le tractus gastro-intestinal supérieur en combinaison à un agent à libération contrôlée de manière à être hydrodynamiquement équilibrée afin que, lors du contact avec le fluide gastrique, ladite forme posologique possède une densité apparente inférieure à 1 g/ml et par conséquent s'avère susceptible de flotter dans le fluide gastrique. Cette forme posologique est retenue dans l'estomac pendant le laps de temps lui permettant de libérer sensiblement tous les médicaments qu'elle contient. En outre, cette forme posologique permet une libération du médicament pendant un laps de temps prolongé de sorte que l'administration de l'agent thérapeutique à l'intestin grêle se déroule de manière régulière plutôt que subite. Cette libération régulière dans le temps de l'agent thérapeutique au niveau du site de métabolisation et d'absorption permet d'empêcher une saturation enzymatique et favorise par conséquent une meilleure biodisponibilté de l'agent thérapeutique.
