Patent CA-2355003-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KALTANI TED
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2001-08-10
Abstract: An analog video network system for producing a recorded output of a video image comprises a video camera for producing an analog video signal corresponding to a video image; a video monitor for receiving the analog video signal and displaying a video image according to the analog video signal; and an analog video output device for receiving the analog video signal and producing an output according to the analog video signal, which output is a functional replica of the video image. A relay, in an inactive state, connects the video camera to the video monitor so as to cause the video monitor to display the video image, and, in an active state, connects the video camera to the video monitor through the analog video output device so as to cause the analog video output device to produce the output and the video monitor to display the video image. A controller is used for activating and deactivating the relay.

Inventor: GIBSON JAY F
IPC: G01N1/31
Filed: 2000-04-07
Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing tissue slides is disclosed. The apparatus includes a holding assembly for manipulating the sample block, a blade assembly for preparing a thin section from the sample block, and a transfer roller mechanism for transferring the thin section to a receiving medium. The apparatus further includes a controller that may track the sample block and thin section. The method includes the steps of first locating a sample embedded within a support medium, which may be paraffin or a similar medium. Next, the embedded sample is oriented in such a way that its working surface is presented. This orientation may entail determining the orientation of the embedded sample with respect to the blade that will produce the largest cross-sectional area. Next, a slice of the sample from said embedded sample is removed and subsequently transferred to a suitable receiving medium, which may include a microscope slide. The slices may be stained, and a representation of the slice may be captured by an image capture device. The sample blocks may be transferred to a holding device, where they may be indexed and stored.

Patent CA-2384872-A1 (CA)
Title: Flue gas scrubbing method and gas-liquid contactor therefor
Inventor: MENGEL MICHAEL L
IPC: B01D53/40
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: An apparatus and process for removing acidic gases from flue gases produced by processing operations of the type carried out in utility and industrial plants. The apparatus is generally a gas-liquid contactor (110, 210) whose operation uses an ammonium sulfate-containing scrubbing solution to absorb acidic gases from flue gases, and into which oxygen and ammonia are then injected to react with the absorbed sulfur dioxide to produce ammonium sulfate as a valuable byproduct. The oxygen and ammonia are not introduced together into the scrubbing solution, but instead are introduced sequentially and in a manner so that the oxidation first occurs in a relatively low pH solution as a result of the absorbed acidic gases. The ammonia is then added to the solution in a manner that inhibits or prevents intermixing of the ammonia with the majority of the solution, but is present in the solution when recycled for further absorption of acidic gases.
