Title: On premise water treatment system and method
Inventor: PLESTER GEORGE
IPC: C02F5/02
Filed: 2000-08-04
Abstract: A water treatment method uses a removable, disposable cartridge (2) having a n internal mesh structure. A disposable heater (6) heats water fed to the cartridge. Precipitated solids collect on the mesh surface provided temperature and residence time are appropriately maintained. The heat breaks  down the bicarbonate hardness of the water thereby depositing carbonates on the mesh surface and heavy metals will be codeposited due to the resultant change in pH. The cartridge has a head-space (11) for collecting entrained gases such as volatile organic compounds, chlorine and air. Water sterility is achieved by heating the water over an appropriate period of time. Turbidity is removed within the cartridge due to settling induced by the low fluid veloci ty controlled by a controller and by a filter provided at the outlet of the cartridge. The filter will become blocked when bicarbonate hardness is carri ed over forcing a user to replace a spent cartridge. Heat economy and a cool treated water outlet stream are secured by use of a heat exchanger (18). Wat er is fed from the cartridge, through an intercooler and the heat exchanger to a storage tank (26). Water in the storage tank is kept out of contact with air  by a movable barrier. Eventually, the water is fed from the storage tank to a dispenser (50)and can subsequently be used in a post-mix beverage dispenser.  A visual display indicates the status of the water treatment system.

Inventor: ATHANIKAR NARAYAN K
IPC: A23G4/04
Filed: 2000-06-02
Abstract: The present invention provides a process for preparing a chewing gum tablet, in which a chewing gum composition is cooled to a temperature at which the composition is brittle, and the composition is ground while brittle to form a fine powder. In a preferred process, the composition is cooled by mixing with a coolant, such as solid carbon dioxide, and the mixture is ground to a powder. The powder can be mixed with a pharmaceutical active ingredient capable of topical absorption in the buccal cavity or in the mucous layer of the upper or lower intestinal tract, and formed into a tablet.  Preferably, the mixture of the powder, pharmaceutical active ingredient, and other additives such as coating agents, binders, additional active ingredients, and sweeteners, are granulated in a fluidized bed granulator prior to forming the mixture into a tablet. The resulting tablet provides a dosage form of the pharmaceutical active ingredient having a more accurate and uniform dose of the active ingredient.

Title: Rotary cutter parking stand
Inventor: FRIESEN HENRY
IPC: A01D67/00
Filed: 2002-06-25
Abstract: A towed rotary cutter includes a self-leveling hitch equipped with a parking stand mounted in a centered position beneath the hitch. Through the operation of the leveling links, the hydraulic-lift cylinder that is used for raising and-lowering the ground wheels of the cutter relative to the cutter frame is also used to manipulate the hitch, once the parking stand is placed in its park position, so as to remove the weight of the hitch from the tractor drawbar when unhitching the tractor from the rotary cutter, or to place the hitch clevis at the correct height for connecting it to the tractor drawbar when hitching the cutter to the tractor. In a first embodiment, the parking stand is constructed for use with a hitch having a feature for automatically maintaining the clevis in a horizontal attitude. In a second embodiment, the parking stand includes a clevis support which is oriented for supporting the clevis in a horizontal attitude when the parking stand is in its park position, but is moved so as to permit free pivotal movement of the clevis when the parking stand is in its stored position.

Title: Immersible motor system
Inventor: RAY ROBERT B
IPC: H02K9/19
Filed: 2000-11-29
Abstract: A motor system using a totally enclosed fancooled (TEFC) electric motor (20) to provide power. The motor enclosure may be sealed with a variety of sealing devices (149) including a double mechanical seal, and/or a repeller positioned adjacent the motor enclosure. A release mechanism prevents the fan (108) from creating excessive drag when the system is immersed in water. The fan cools the motor when the water level is below the motor, and the surrounding water combines with the fan to cool the motor when the water level rises to at least partially surround the motor. The release mechanism can take the form of a shear key, a torque-release clutch or flexible fan blades.

Title: System and method of creating and maintaining a replicated naming service to support a telecommunications network
Inventor: CEREJA NEVTON
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2002-09-27
Abstract: A replicated naming service is created and maintained to provide configuration and topology information for a network, such as an undersea cable system, to a network management system (NMS). Designated hosts are chosen in each element management system (EMS) subnetwork (or cable station) to run a replicated naming server and a replication mechanism is set up in all of the hosts. The replicated naming servers are identified throughout the network and each host publishes configuration information to each of the replicated naming servers. Thus, each replicated naming server provides configuration and topology information for substantially an entire network. In one embodiment, the naming service is implemented using the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) and the configuration information is published periodically using a naming service builder application.

Abstract: Liquid spraying equipment, for example for paint, adhesives and chemicals, comprises a spray gun (30) having a luid outlet (53) to which liquid is pump ed from a container, the outlet being adjaceent a pressurised air or other flui d outlet (34) to entrain the liquid and thereby atomise it. The liquid pump is  housed in a separate unit ot which a removable liquid container can be sealingly coupled. The unit also contains a pump to deliver pressurised air to a chamber with a hose ocnnection to the spray gun and with a tapping to the liquid container so as to pressurise the liquid and assist the liquid pump t o deliver it to the spray gun through a pipe, possibly within the pressurised air hose. The flow of liquid through the outlet is regulated by a pin (38) o r the like slidably mounted in a bore (35). A trigger mechanism (36) retracts the pin from the outlet against the force of a restoring spring (40). An adjustable limit stop (49) determines the degree of opening of the liquid outlet. The system is particularly suitable for for viscous material, such a s emulsion paints, which cannot readily be drawn into a conventional spray gun .

Abstract: A means and method for rigidly elevating a structure includes a base member securable in the ground and which has a portion extending above the ground. A pole section, having a bore inside a lower end, and an upper end, can be stacked upon the base means upwardly by slip fitting the pole section onto the base end and securing it in place. A flexible, easily transportable and durable system is thereby created for elevating structures.        An integrated pole for elevating light fixtures and all other necessary components such as electrical components, can be predesigned, shipped, and easily installed at a desired location.      Pole top member, including rigidly secured cross arms, can be inserted on the top of a pole. All wiring for both the pole top cross arms, and the pole itself can be preconfigured and require simple connection of plugs between wiring segments. Additional features can include ballast boxes which quickly attach to the pole by easy mounting brackets, and which also allow communication with the interior of the pole to allow easy electrical connection of its components. Still further, the wiring can be protected and reliably secured in the pole by structure and methods which deter abrasion or slippage. The entire assembly can be shipped on sight and quickly and easily assembled without intensive labor, equipment, or cost.
