Patent CA-2520070-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OKUYAMA NORIYUKI
IPC: C10B57/04
Filed: 2004-03-05
Abstract: A first method for producing an improved coal which comprises heating and aging a low quality coal in an organic solvent to produce an improved coal for use in metallurgy having enhanced softness and fluidity as compared to the low quality coal; and a second method for producing a reduced metal and a slag containing an oxidized nonferrous metal, which comprises preparing granules from a mixture of the improved coal and a raw material containing the oxidized nonferrous metal, heating and reducing the granules in a moving hearth furnace, followed by successive heating and melting, to form a reduced molten product, cooling and solidifying the reduced molten product in the moving hearth furnace to form a reduced solidified product, withdrawing the reduced solidified product out of the furnace, separating and removing a slag with a screen, and recovering a metal component as a reduced metal. The first method allows the reforming of a low quality coal, which can not be used in the production of a reduced metal through a conventional carbon composite method, into an improved coal for metallurgy suitable for use in the carbon composite method, and the second method can be used for producing a high quality reduced metal by the use of the above improved coal as a coal to be incorporated inside.

Title: Apparatus for reducing the effects of general anesthetics
Inventor: WESTENSKOW DWAYNE R
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 2004-04-20
Abstract: An apparatus for reversing inhaled anesthesia, which is configured to be positioned along a breathing circuit or anesthesia delivery circuit, includes a filter for removing one or more anesthetic agents from gases passing therethrough, as well as a component for elevating CO2 levels in gases that are to be inhaled by an individual. The apparatus is configured to be positioned between a Y connector of the breathing circuit and the portion of the breathing circuit that interfaces with the individual. The CO2 level-elevating component facilitates an increase in the ventilation of the individual without resulting in a significant decrease in the individual's PaCO2 level and, thus, a decrease in the rate at which blood flows through the individual's brain. The apparatus may cause an increase in a rate of the anesthetized individual's ventilation while causing the individual to inhale gases with elevated amounts of CO2 and while filtering anesthetic agents from such gases.

Patent CA-2538535-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRITZ DAVID M
IPC: H04B7/00
Filed: 2006-03-06
Abstract: A secure, open-air communication system utilizes a plurality of "decoy" data signals to hide one or more true data signals. The true data signal(s) are channel hopped with the plurality of decoy data signals to form a multi-channel "scrambled" output signal that is thereafter transmitted in an open-air communication system. The greater the number of decoy signals, the greater the security provided to the open-air system. Further security may be provided by encrypting both the true and decoy signals prior to scrambling and/or by utilizing a spatially diverse set of transmitters and receivers.  Without the knowledge of the channel assignment(s) for the true signal(s), an eavesdropper may be able to intercept (and, with time, perhaps descramble) the open-air transmitted signals, will not be able to distinguish the true data from the decoys without also knowing the channel assignment(s).

Title: Differential anti-pinch capacitive sensor
Inventor: PRIBISIC MIRKO
IPC: E05F15/00
Filed: 2004-12-17
Abstract: A proximity sensor for sensing an object in the path of or proximate to a closure panel such as a vehicle window. First and second electrodes encased in a non-conductive casing are mounted on the metallic structure near the closing edge of the aperture. The two electrodes define a capacitance CE1/2 therebetween, and parasitic capacitances CE1 & CE2 between the first electrode and chassis ground and the second electrode and chassis ground, respectively.  A controller cyclically connects (1) the second electrode to a voltage reference source (Vref,) and the first electrode to chassis ground and (2) the second electrode to chassis ground and the first electrode to the reference capacitor, thereby periodically charging the capacitance CE1/2 and transferring the charge stored thereon to the reference capacitor whilst short-circuiting the parasitic capacitances. The charge on the reference capacitor, the time period required to charge the reference capacitor to a specified voltage, or a calculated value for CE1/2 are then compared against a reference value in order to derive an obstruction signal.

Title: Flapper opening mechanism
Inventor: FARQUHAR GRAHAM
IPC: G09F23/00
Filed: 2005-04-07
Abstract: A valve assembly comprises a flapper element and a valve opening assembly that will mechanically open the flapper element. The valve opening assembly is particularly valuable where the flapper element fails to open in response to normal hydraulic opening techniques. The valve opening assembly includes a valve opening sleeve having a generally hemispherical cross-section and an opening portion that presents a pair of opening shoulders. The opening shoulders engage lugs on the flapper element so that movement of the opening sleeve will urge the flapper element to an open position. The valve assembly may be run into the wellbore with the flapper element in the open position, rather than having to be closed, as with a number of conventional valve assemblies.
