Title: Apparatus for generating sequences of elements
Inventor: TSUI KWOK CHING
IPC: G06N3/04
Filed: 2001-06-28
Abstract: Apparatus for generating a second one or more sequences of elements after receiving a first one or more sequence of elements. The apparatus comprises identifying means for receiving a first one or more sequence of elements, accessing stored sequences, and identifying which of the stored sequences each of the first one or more received sequences of elements most closely resembles, where the identifying means is operable to output, for each received sequence of elements, an identifying signal indicative of the correspondingly so identified stored sequence. The apparatus further comprises a sequence generator for generating sequences of elements, operable to receive as input a said identifying signal and to generate a sequence of elements in response thereto. The apparatus is adapted to operate such that when a first sequence of elements is input to the identifying means (i), the identifying means identifies a stored sequence that the first sequence of elements most closely represents and outputs to the sequence generator an identifying signal indicative of the same, and the sequence generator (ii) generates a second one or more sequences in response thereto.

Title: Composition aqueuse pour reduire ou eliminer les mauvaises odeurs
Inventor: BABINSKI LINDA J
IPC: A61L9/14
Filed: 2001-07-31
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une composition aqueuse destinée à la réduction ou l'élimination des odeurs désagréables des surfaces contenant de telles odeurs. Cette composition comprend un parfum, un tensioactif/solubilisant, un solvant/agent de séchage, un absorbeur d'odeurs, et de préférence un tampon permettant de conserver un pH souhaité. La solution contient un minimum, voire aucun composé organique volatil.

Title: Apparatus for a paper-making installation having at least one wire
Inventor: BARTELMUSS HEINZ
IPC: D21F1/52
Filed: 2003-04-02
Abstract: A device for a paper-making installation has at least one wire belt, which installation has supporting or scraping elements of ceramic material spaced from one another in the direction of movement of the wire belt for supporting the wire belt or scraping off the water emerging from the paper pulp or paper strip located on the wire belt and passing through it. The wire belt comes to rest on the upper sides of these elements. In the invention, there is a load-bearing frame which corresponds in width to the width of the wire belt. The frame has load-bearing strips, on which supporting or scraping elements are fixed. These elements are located spacedly next to one another. The spaces between the supporting or scraping elements form passage channels for the water emerging from the paper pulp or paper strip or for the air sucked through the wire belt. This arrangement provides adequate support for the wire belt while allowing very effective application of vacuum to the wire belt.

Inventor: LEWIS THOMAS A
IPC: A47B13/02
Filed: 2003-08-20
Abstract: The present invention is a metal worktable comprising a tabletop and a plurality of table legs. The worktable has leg-supporting gussets to secure each of the table legs. Each gusset has a socket for receiving one of the table legs. Inside the socket of the gusset, there are stop protrusions that prevent the top surface of the table leg from directly contacting the underside of the tabletop. The worktable also has a inverted hat-shaped channel frame having a pair of side flanges that form the "brim" of the inverted hat shape. There are openings in the channel frame corresponding to the location of the table legs. At each opening in the channel frame, the corresponding leg-supporting gusset is recessed in the channel frame. The gusset contacts the side flanges of the channel frame rather than the underside of the tabletop.  The channel frame is attached to the underside of the tabletop. Additionally, the corners of the tabletop are mitered to form a continuous lip.

Patent CA-2448662-A1 (CA)
Title: Joint-cycle high-efficiency fuel cell system with power generating turbine
Inventor: HAGAN MARK R
IPC: H01M8/12
Filed: 2001-05-31
Abstract: The efficiency of a combination reformer/fuel cell system is significantly improved by recapturing the energy value of heat generated in the fuel cell and producing additional power. The cooling water (40) from the fuel (44) ce ll is mixed, entirely or in part, with sufficient or excess compressed air, and at least partially evaporates in the compressed air. The air is at least sufficient to support the oxidative reactions in the fuel cell and also to serve as oxidant in a burner (10) that provides heat to reform fuel/steam mixtures into hydrogen-containing reformate. This air/steam mixture, after leaving the fuel cell (70), is further heated by heat exchange with the reformate stream and reformate-producing modules, and with the exhaust strea m (50) of the burner (10). The steam/air mixture (12) is injected into the burner optionally after superheating in the burner exhaust, and is reacted with fuel (14) in the burner. The burner exhaust may be used to provide heat to a fuel reforming reaction. The high-temperature burner exhaust may also b e used to drive an expander, preferably a turbine, at a location in the system which is downstream of the burner, but in which the exhaust is at a high temperature so as to run the turbine efficiently. The turbine recovers heat energy from the fuel cell as mechanical energy, typically in excess of the energy required to run a compressor, because of the addition of steam to the compressed air. Moreover, system heat removal elements, such as radiators, a s well as overall system size and cost, can be markedly reduced for a given level of output.
