Patent CA-2450117-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHELTON JAMES J
IPC: B67D7/76
Filed: 2002-06-17
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de désinfection d'eau d'un distributeur d'eau en bonbonne (10) du type meuble (11) et à robinets (26,27) comprenant un système générateur d'ozone (50) permettant de produire de l'ozone pour désinfecter l'eau. L'ozone est produit et collecté à l'intérieur d'un logement de générateur d'ozone (57). Un ventilateur (54) envoie de l'air au logement du générateur d'ozone (57). L'air transporte l'ozone produit à travers un conduit (38) jusqu'à un diffuseur d'air (37) positionné en amont du ou des robinets (26, 27) utilisés pour distribuer l'eau. Dans une réalisation, une vanne (101) activée sur le robinet (26, 27) afin de distribuer de l'eau, active aussi le ventilateur (54) et le générateur d'ozone (50). Dans d'autres réalisations, un capteur de débit (145) active le générateur d'ozone (50) et le ventilateur (54). L'invention concerne aussi différents arrangements de robinets (26, 27) et de capteur de débit (145) en tant que parties de l'appareil et du procédé dans leur globalité.
Patent CA-2451460-A1 (CA)
Title: Smart air cleaning system and method thereof
Inventor: MICHALAKOS PETER
IPC: F24F3/16
Filed: 2002-06-19
Abstract: An air cleaning system and method employs both particulate and gaseous contaminant removal from a flowing air stream to improve air quality in a selected environmental space. Particulate contaminants are removed by an appropriate filter (20). Gaseous contaminants such as VOCs, CO, and O3 are removed using a catalyst to oxidize such contaminants. The air stream is selectively heated to provide an adequate catalyst reaction temperature and the heat energy is then recovered by a heat exchanger (30). Various sensors (11, 21, 22, 23, 24, 31, 32) are employed to monitor flow rate, air composition, temperature and pressure. A controller (91) is programmable to control air quality for either minimizing contaminants or minimizing energy usage required to achieve a selected minimum air quality over a period of time.

Title: Systems and methods using a solvent for the removal of lipids from fluids
Inventor: HEGWER ERIC
IPC: A61M1/34
Filed: 2002-06-21
Abstract: Systems and methods for removing lipids from a fluid, such as plasma, or fro m lipid-containing organisms. A fluid is combined with at least one extraction solvent, which causes the lipids to separate from the fluid or from lipid- containing organisms. The separated lipids are removed from the fluid. The extraction solvent is removed from the fluid or at least reduced to an acceptable concentration enabling the delipidated fluid to be administered t o a patient without the patient experiencing undesirable consequences. Once th e fluid has been processed, the fluid may be administered to a patient who donated the fluid, to a different patient, or stored for later use.

Title: Fabrication d'une fibre a micro-lentilles utilisant le dioxyde de silicium dope
Inventor: UKRAINCZYK LJERKA
IPC: G02B6/32
Filed: 2002-05-31
Abstract: Procédé de fabrication d'une fibre à micro-lentilles (1) par l'épissage d'une tige en silicium dopé visant à obtenir une fibre optique (3) puis à former l'extrémité de la tige en silicium dopé de manière à obtenir une lentille de réfraction plan-convexe (2). La tige en silicium dopé a un point de recuit et un point de fusion plus bas que le silicium non dopé; de ce fait, on a besoin de moins d'énergie pour fabriquer la fibre à micro-lentilles (1). Cela diminue l'usure des éléments chauffants de l'équipement de fabrication et augmente par conséquent le nombre de fibres à micro-lentilles qui peuvent être fabriqués entre les cycles. Un autre aspect de la présente invention est une fibre à micro-lentilles (1) fabriquée par le procédé ci-décrit.

Title: Improved polyolefin-based synthetic fibers and method therefor
Inventor: BERTAMINI LUCA
IPC: D01D5/253
Filed: 2001-09-28
Abstract: The invention provides a method for making fibers and yarns having improved dyeability with reactive and disperse dyes, resistance to staining and improved mechanical properties and charecteristics. The method includes blending a polyolefin polymer and a fibril forming polymer to provide a mixture of polyolefin and fibril forming polymers. The mixture is conducted to a hot melt extruder to provide a substantially homogenous molten mixture of polyolefin and fibril forming polymers. The molten mixture is forced through a spinneret having a length to diameter (L/D) ratio ranging from about 3 to about 30 to provide a fiber having a polyolefin matrix and elongate, substantially discontinuous fibrils of the fibril forming polymer dispersed into the polyolefin matrix, whereby the exterior surface of the fibers is substantially devoid of fibrils. Fibers made by the process of the invention are useful as carpet face yarn, in textiles, upholstery and other industrial applications, like chemical industry and others.
