Patent CA-2587374-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and device for fluid sampling
Inventor: SREBRO DAVID EDWARD
IPC: G01N1/24
Filed: 2004-04-01
Abstract: A fluid stream sampler enables variable flow rate controlled air sampling, as an attachment to a vacuum source, typically a conventional household vacuum cleaner. The fluid stream sampler includes a housing body having a vacuum outlet opening and a sampling port inlet. A volumetric flow rate indicator is disposed in the flowpath between the vacuum outlet opening and the sampling port inlet. An adjustable damper panel interposed in the flowpath regulates the vacuum pressure within the housing body. In operation, a vacuum imparted by the vacuum source directs a fluid stream along the flowpath between the vacuum outlet opening and the sampling port inlet such that, upon moving the damper panel to a desired position within the flowpath, a desired volumetric flow rate is achieved as measured by the indicator. The desired volumetric flow rate corresponds to a preferred flow rate specified for a fluid constituent sampling medium interposed in the flowpath at the sampling port inlet. A fluid stream sampler enables gas bag sampling, as an attachment to a vacuum chamber, typically a conventional paper shipping tube. The vacuum chamber includes a vacuum outlet opening and a inlet. A gas bag is disposed in the chamber. A self-sealing valve is disposed in the bag and a straw is disposed in the valve. The straw having a inlet exterior to the vacuum chamber and a outlet interior to the gas bag. Whereby a vacuum imparted by the fluid stream sampler at the outlet port directs a pressure drop interior to the vacuum chamber and a pressure differential effect on the atmosphere interior to the gas bag, such that, a fluid stream is developed at the straw inlet through the valve and into the interior of the gas bag.

Abstract: A method of controlling an air conditioner includes a step of controlling an opening degree of the expansion valve and/or the number of rotations of an outdoor fan of the outdoor heat exchanger such that the difference Tx (= Te - Ti) between the temperature Te of the outdoor heat exchanger and the temperature Ti of the indoor heat exchanger is within a predetermined range, in a cooling mode in a low outside air temperature environment. Specifically, the opening degree of the expansion valve is adjusted, with the number of rotations of the outdoor fan being reduced to be smaller than that in a normal cooling mode, and then, the number of rotations of the outdoor fan is adjusted with the opening degree of the expansion valve being fixed, thereby controlling the difference Tx to be substantially constant.

Title: Light-reflecting board game
Inventor: HOOPER LUKE JACKSON
IPC: A63F3/00
Filed: 2006-02-14
Abstract: A board-type game to be played by two or more players. The game includes lasers where players selectively divert the path of the laser beams. The board apparatus comprises a surface, bounded by a frame, over which laser beams are directed down symbolic rows and columns which constitute a matrix of squares.  Each square is a subregion of the surface piece, and is bounded along its four sides by raised edges which are parallel and perpendicular rows and columns of the board. The raised edges, creating recessed squares, assist in orienting the playing pieces. Playing pieces may contain no mirror, one mirror, or two mirrors (oriented back-to-back to produce separate surfaces reflecting in opposite directions). Playing pieces are placed in a predetermined "starting"  configuration on the squares of the gridded surface piece. Depending on whether a playing piece contains a mirror or not, said piece may reflect an incident laser beam from a row to a column or from a column to a row. A laser is placed in a predetermined position, in front of each player. The players alternate in moving pieces from square to square or rotating pieces in place, on the gridded surface, with the object of either directing their laser beam toward the opponent's "key" piece or preventing their opponent's laser beam from reaching their own "key" piece.

Abstract: The invention concerns the field of electromagnetic detecting systems operating in bistatic mode, in particular bistatic UHF/VHF radars. The inventive method consists in simultaneously exploiting several sources transmitting on separate frequency channels. The method consists in particular in: multichannel reception and separating the channels; analyzing the signals received channel by channel, said analyses being performed by correlating the received signals with copies of time- and frequency-shifted reference signals, the reference signals consisting of received signals received from the transmitting sources by direct transmission; channel-to-channel integration of the analyzed signals; a step of detection. The inventive method enables a signal whereof the bandwidth is equal to the band covered by the set of exploited channels to be used, thereby enhancing the contrast and the distance resolution of the system using said method compared to systems known in prior art.

Title: Formulation for hydrogen sulphide scavenging from hydrocarbon streams and use thereof
Inventor: OWENS THOMAS ROBERT
IPC: B01D53/14
Filed: 2006-10-26
Abstract: A method has been developed for reducing the content of hydrogen sulphide in hydrocarbon streams. The method involves contacting a "sour" gas or fluid with a chemical formulation consisting of triethylene glycol and the reaction products of an amine and an aldehyde. The use of this method and chemical formulations produce spent products consisting of a single phase; thus alleviating problems associated with the deposition of dithiazine solids normally associated with triazine based scavengers. The method is especially useful for alleviating high temperature-induced dithiazine solids.
