Patent CA-2385075-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MANCHAK FRANK JR
IPC: B09B3/00
Filed: 2000-10-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé pour le traitement de matières, notamment pour le traitement de déchets (10). Le dispositif (1) selon l'invention comprend un réservoir (12) contenant la matière (10), une charge de milieux non agglomérée (38) à l'intérieur du réservoir (12), un réchauffeur (30) situé dans le réservoir (12) et chauffant la charge de milieux (38), ainsi qu'un appareil (31) agitant la charge de milieux (38). L'agitateur (31) peut agiter directement la charge de milieux (38) ou bien agiter le réservoir (12) qui agite à son tour la charge de milieux (38). En raison de cette agitation, la charge de milieux (38) entre de manière intermittente en contact avec le réchauffeur (30) et est ainsi chauffée. La charge de milieux chauffée heurte et pulvérise la matière (10), lui transmettant ainsi de la chaleur. L'impact et le chauffage modifient la matière (10) en un produit final plus souhaitable.

Title: Duct leakage control
Inventor: MCEWAN IAN KENNETH
IPC: F16L55/162
Filed: 2001-05-08
Abstract: The invention relates to the control of leakage from ducts, such as fluid-carrying pipework, without necessarily requiring direct access to the leakage site itself; since leakage sites are often difficult to locate with the necessary degree of precision to permit access to reliably be made thereto, and moreover, even if a site can be located, it is not always convenient or economically possible to secure access thereto. The invention provides an apparatus and methods for duct leakage control wherein a sealing element (1) is introduced into the duct and is automatically drawn or otherwise guided to the locality of a leak; the element being caused, by reason of a pressure differential attributable to the leak, to move into and stem or seal the leak.  The sealing element may comprise a plurality of individual members of differing buoyancy, each capable of being carried along at a predetermined level in the duct by the flow of fluid therein. The sealing element may carry a tagging device which can be used to assist in locating the leakage site.

Patent CA-2411731-A1 (CA)
Title: Lighting reflection apparatus
Inventor: MACHIDA HIDEAKI
IPC: F21V7/22
Filed: 2002-11-13
Abstract: A lighting reflection apparatus is provided, which improves controllability and sensitivity in changing or controlling an outgoing light characteristic. A reflector is composed of a substrate made of a film-like polyimide molded item shaped using only a difference between pressures applied from respective surfaces of a film-like item while subjecting the film-like item to plasticization with non-contact heating and having in itself a power of maintaining a three-dimensional shape independently or in the form of a single layer, and a reflection surface formed on an inner surface of the substrate. Then, outgoing light is changed or controlled by causing elastic deformation in the reflector by pressing the reflector with pressing means. Since the reflection surface of the reflector is formed by complete non-contact method, it is so smooth that sensitivity in controlling the outgoing light can be improved. Also, since the reflector made of an elastic film is deformed, satisfactory controllability can be attained.
