Patent CA-2426293-A1 (CA)
Title: Coin discrimination apparatus and method
Inventor: GERRITY DAN
IPC: G07D5/00
Filed: 1997-06-27
Abstract: A coin discrimination apparatus and method is provided. Coins, preferably after cleaning, e.g. using a trommel, are singulated by a coin pickup assembly configured to reduce jamming. A coin rail assists in providing separation between coins as they travel past a sensor. The sensor provides an oscillating electromagnetic field generated on a single sensing core. The oscillating electromagnetic field is composed of one or more frequency components. The electromagnetic field interacts with a coin, and these interactions are monitored and used to classify the coin according to its physical properties. All frequency components of the magnetic field are phase-locked to a common reference frequency. The phase relationships between the various frequencies are fixed, and the interaction of each frequency component with the coin can be accurately determined without the need for complicated electrical filters. In one embodiment, a sensor having a core, preferably ferrite, which is curved, such as in a U-shape or in the shape of a section of a torus, and defining a gap, is provided with a wire winding for excitation and/or detection. The sensor can be used for simultaneously obtaining data relating to two or more parameters of a coin or other object, such as size and conductivity of the object. Two or more frequencies can be used to sense core and/or cladding properties. Objects recognized as acceptable coins, using the sensor data, are diverted by a controllable deflecting door, to tubes for delivery to acceptable coin bins.

Inventor: DANDEKAR HEMANT W
IPC: C01B3/02
Filed: 2000-10-27
Abstract: A process and apparatus for producing reaction products by indirectly preheating and heating reactants by indirect heat exchange. The use of the preheating step simplifies the reaction zone design by eliminating the need of external exchangers and is particularly suited for an arrangement of plates that defines narrow channels for indirect heat exchange. The narrow channels are preferably defined by corrugated plates. The primary reaction channels (in section 42) will contain a catalyst for the promotion of the desired reaction product from the principal reactants. The heating fluid (30) passes through adjacent heating channels (in section 28) to provide indirect heating. At least a portion of the heating channels exchange heat with a non-catalytic portion of the reaction channels (in section 40) to preheat the reactants ahead of a catalytic section (in section 42) of the reaction channels.  Catalytic combustion within the heating channels (in section 28) may provide in-situ heat input for the heating medium (30). Suitable catalysts for the heating channels may comprise oxidation promoting catalysts.

Abstract: Ce détecteur de gaz combustible comporte un élément actif en connexion électrique avec un circuit de mesure. Ce dernier est pourvu d'un réseau de thermistances destiné à compenser les effets d'un changement de température ambiante de la résistance de l'élément actif. Un autre détecteur de gaz combustible comporte un élément actif ayant une surface géométrique active, ne dépassant pas environ 0,5 mm?2¿, en connexion électrique avec un circuit de mesure. Ce dernier comporte un compensateur corrigeant les effets susmentionnés et ce, sans modifier la perte thermique due à la conduction thermique provenant de l'élément actif. Le procédé de détection de gaz selon cette invention consiste, (i), à utiliser un élément catalytique actif dont la surface géométrique active est suffisamment réduite pour que l'effet de la déperdition de chaleur provenant de l'élément actif sur sa sortie soit relativement réduit et, (ii), à ne compenser que les effets des changements de la température ambiante sur la sortie de l'élément actif.

Abstract: Treated rubber is made from ground rubber and a polyurethane resin. Products made by mixing treated rubber with additional polyurethane resin, molding and curing the polyurethane have higher tensile strengths and/or elongations than similar products made from untreated rubber. The method using treated rubber uses less polyurethane binder to produce products of equivalent strengths. The molding time is also reduced because of the reduced amount of polyurethane binder used.

Abstract: A floorboard and an openable locking system therefor comprise an undercut groove on one long side of the floorboard and a projecting tongue on the opposite long side of the floorboard. The undercut groove has a corresponding upwardly directed inner locking surface at a distance from its tip. The tongue and the undercut groove are formed to be brought together and pulled apart by a pivoting motion which has its centre (C) close to the intersection between the surface planes (HP) and the common joint plane (VP) of two adjoining floorboards. The undercut in the groove of such a locking system is produced by means of at least two disk-shaped cutting tools whose rotary shafts are inclined relative to each other to form first an inner part of the undercut portion of the groove and then a locking surface positioned closer to the opening of the groove. An installation method for a floor of such boards comprises the steps of laying a new board adjacent to a previously laid board, moving the tongue of the new board into the mouth of the undercut groove of the laid board, angling the new board upward during continued insertion of the tongue into the undercut groove and simultaneously angling down the new board to the final position. A manufacturing method for manufacturing the undercut groove uses machining by means of at least gwo different rotary cutting tools whose rotary shaft is set at different angles. A wedge-shaped tool for laying of the floorboards is wedge-shaped with an upwardly directed engaging surface at its thicker end.
