Patent CA-2455845-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ARLING PAUL D
IPC: H04N21/47
Filed: 2002-03-26
Abstract: Methods for identifying control keys with particular devices are disclosed along with methods of assigning control keys to particular devices. In particular, a remote control (10) comprises a set of hard keys (12) comprising channel group keys (16) and volume group keys (14) and a set of soft keys (32) activated via a touch screen display. The display identifies the device the volume group keys are set to control and the device the channel group keys are set to control. Selecting the device currently controlled by the channel group keys by, for example, depressing the device indicator (20) on the display screen, initiates a set up mode that displays numerous devices that may be controlled by the channel group keys. Selecting one of the numerous devices assigns the channel group keys to that device.

IPC: C11D1/22
Filed: 2002-08-02
Abstract: Cette invention concerne de nouveaux procédés améliorés servant à la préparation d'acides arylalkylsulfoniques, dérivés de molécules aromatiques ou aromatiques substituées et d'acide AOS (généralement un mélange d'acide alcène sulfonique et de sultones, produit par sulfonation d'alpha oléfines), ainsi que des compositions détergentes contenant lesdits acides arylalkylsulfoniques. Cette invention consiste à utiliser un catalyseur superacide pour convertir l'acide AOS et des réactifs aromatiques en acide arylalkylsulfonique sous conditions sensiblement anhydres. Selon cette invention, une amélioration sensible du taux de conversion des réactifs en acide arylalkylsulfonique et/ou une sélectivité en monoalkylation améliorée sont obtenues par rapport aux procédés de préparation antérieurs. Le produit de réaction de l'acide arylalkylsulfonique lui-même, obtenu in situ ou à partir d'une réaction précédente (c.-à-d. un résidu autocatalyseur), peut également servir de promoteur d'alkylation. Par rapport aux procédés déjà connus, ces nouveaux procédés fournissent généralement des acides arylalkylsulfoniques présentant des rendements de conversion sensiblement améliorés, une couleur plus claire hautement désirable et une odeur réduite. Les acides produits selon le présent procédé peuvent être neutralisés de manière à former des arylalkylsulfonates (c.-à-d. une forme neutralisée de l'acide) convenant à une variété d'applications finales en tant que tensioactifs et/ou émulsifiants.

Title: Method of protecting a two phase refrigeration unit from temperature fluctuations
Inventor: JACOBS DANIEL A
IPC: F25B41/00
Filed: 2004-05-21
Abstract: A method of protecting a two phase refrigeration unit from temperature fluctuations. A single phase cooling unit is placed outside of the building being cooled by the two phase refrigeration unit. A heat exchanger is used as the condenser for the two phase refrigeration unit, with the two phase coolant circuit routed through the heat exchanger. A  single phase coolant circuit is extended from the single phase cooling unit outside of the building, into the building and through the heat exchanger. This provides a heat exchange between the single phase coolant circuit and the two phase coolant circuit. A temperature sensor or pressure senor is selectively positioned along the two phase coolant circuit. Controls are provided to activate a circulation pump for the single phase coolant circuit whenever the temperature or pressure of the two phase coolant circuit rises above a preset threshold and thereby maintain the two phase refrigeration unit operating with its two phase coolant within a desired operating temperature range.
