Patent CA-2238797-A1 (CA)
Title: Wet-on-wet primer with low film build u.v. light protection
Inventor: SMITH DEAN T
IPC: C08J7/046
Filed: 1998-05-27
Abstract: A sprayable, solvent-borne, primer composition for use as a first coat on light-sensitive, automotive plastic parts. The primer serves as a barrier to block ultraviolet light penetration to the underlying substrate and to prevent migration of substrate degradation and by-products up into the topcoat finishes. The primer is a solvent blend of a film-forming crosslinkable polymer resin, a crosslinker for the resin, a catalyst, carbon black pigments surface modified with a polymer dispersant and an organic pigment derivative co-dispersant, crosslinked polymer microgel particles, and U.V. absorbers and optional antioxidants. The surface modification on the carbon black pigments results in higher pigment loadings, which, in turn, imparts U.V. light protection at exceptionally low dry film builds. Furthermore, the microgel particles cause the primer to build in viscosity and set up a gel structure in its uncured state, which allows the primer to be overcoated wet-on-wet with automotive topcoat finishes and cured simultaneously in a single bake without diminishing the topcoat appearance and physical properties. The need for a separate primer bake prior to topcoat application is, therefore, eliminated.
Patent CA-2239273-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HULICK TIMOTHY P
IPC: B66B9/187
Filed: 1998-06-15
Abstract: Use of a single high-power amplifier, for common amplification of adjacentband television signals, is not only possible, but practical and economical. Such adjacent-band signals can include analog-format signals such NTSC signals, and digitalformat signals such as DTV signals, in all combinations (NTSC/DTV, DTV/NTSC, NTSC/NTSC and DTV/DTV). The amplifier preferably includes a tetrode-class tube (such as a diacrode) and a properly-chosen cavity resonator. Circuits provide analog-format (e.g., NTSC) and digital-format (e.g., DTV) signals under control of a common frequency reference. The amplifier input receives a signal from a device that cleanly and linearly combines the NTSC and DTV signals at broadcast frequency, and amplifies the combined signal for transmission through a single, common antenna. Thus, not only may a single antenna be used for transmission of adjacent-band analog-format and digital-format signals, but interference between the transmitted analog-format and digital-format signal components is avoided by virtue of the substantial linearity of the combiner and amplifier components.

Patent CA-2262253-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RENDALL JOHN S
IPC: C10C3/00
Filed: 1999-02-18
Abstract: A bitumen filtration system includes bringing in a hot pressurized bitumen from either a feed tank followed by a heater or a HTHP unit. The raw bitumen is pumped at around 400° F and 250 psig through a system of tubular filter cartridges disposed within a chamber. As such bitumen is introduced into the filter, the pressure downstream of the filter is controlled above the initial vaporization point, pressure bubble point, with a back pressure regulator. Such maintenance of the minimum downstream pressure prevents the uncontrolled vaporization of the lighter hydrocarbons, and promotes a uniform deposition of solids over the entire filtering surface. As a filter cake on the filter screens builds up, the upstream pressure increases to maintain a constant flow rate. Downstream of the back pressure regulator the filtered bitumen enters a flash separator at lower pressure where the lightest hydrocarbon and water vapor are separated from heavier components. These lightest materials are passed out of the top of the flash separator to a cooling condenser and an overhead accumulator that collects the light ends. Any condensed water is removed as a separate phase. The cooled and accumulated light ends are both returned to the flash separator in a recycle flow and mixed in with the cooled heavy material liquid product. The result is a final filtered product, with a designed flash point, that can be sent to storage. The light, condensed and cooled overhead that is recycled to the flash separation vessel provides a way to both control the overall operation of the system and a way to control the downstream equipment pressure.
