Patent CA-2572687-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and system for dispensing a dry haze nasal treatment from a liquid
Inventor: CRAWFORD GARY L
IPC: A61L9/00
Filed: 2007-01-02
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for dispensing the chemical solutions, such as a low viscosity liquid chemical solution for inhaling size, are disclosed. A small particle haze, including a liquid chemical, such as low viscosity liquids that are inhaled when in haze form, is created in an enclosed container. The small particle haze is created by one or more venturi nozzles. The small particle haze is filtered to remove particles in excess of a predetermined size. The remaining particles are combined with a stream of air that separates the particles into a dry haze. The stream of air also directs the combination into a dispensing tube that includes a plurality of outlets for dispensing the dry haze.  Relatively small diameter sized dispensing tubes are formed of a relatively rigid material such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Larger sized dispensing tubes are inflatable. The air added to inflate inflatable tubes further separates the dry haze particles.  Filtering prevents dirt and debris from polluting the dry haze that is created through the mixture of clean dry air with the small particles.

Title: Rigid electrode ionization for packed bed scrubbers
Inventor: CHABEK WILLIAM
IPC: B03C3/16
Filed: 2006-04-11
Abstract: An ionizing particulate scrubber is provided for the removal of particulate from a gaseous exhaust stream, said scrubber comprising two sections: a charging section and a collection section. The charging or ionizing section comprises one or more cylindrical tubular ground chambers each with a rigid threaded rod electrode extending through the center thereof. A  transformer/rectifier (T/R) is provided to supply high voltage DC power to the electrode such that the cylindrical tubular ground chambers act as the ground to enable a corona to form on the threaded rod electrode. As the gas stream passes through the current flowing from the electrode to the cylindrical tubular ground chambers walls, the particulate contained within the stream is electrostatically charged. The collection system comprises either a fixed or fluid bed packed section which is constantly irrigated from above. Ground rods in the packing and liquid sump allow the entire section to act as a grounded collector for the charged particulate. The gas stream and charged particulate are immediately sent from the charge section to the collection section of the system, and clean gas is then passed through an entrainment separator section to remove liquid droplets.

Title: Method for controlling a polyphase converter with distributed energy stores
Inventor: HILLER MARC
IPC: H02M7/00
Filed: 2006-08-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a power converter comprising at least two phase modules, each of which is provided with an upper and a lower valve leg that is equipped with at least two serially connected bipolar subsystems, respectively. According to the invention, the switching actions in the two valve legs (T1, T2; T3, T4; T5, T6) of each phase module (100) of the multiphase power converter having distributed energy stores are performed at a freely selected interval (ΔTZ) rather than synchronously. The inventive control method for a multiphase power converter having distributed energy stores thus makes it possible to dynamically regulate valve leg currents (i11, i12, i21, i31, i32).
