Patent CA-2222242-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for detecting and measuring conditions affecting color
Inventor: MACFARLANE DARBY S
IPC: G01J3/46
Filed: 1996-06-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the condition of a test subject based on color uses a color measuring instrument to detect change in a color factor indicative of a condition such as a disease, spoilage, ageing, etc. A medical condition such as hyperbilirubinemia that affects skin color can be detected. One measures color factors such as Hunter b and L in the subjects' skin color. For predetermined ranges of one color factor, in particular L, changes in the other color factor, e.g. Hunter b, above predetermined levels are indicative of the medical condition. In many cases, a single measurement of the color factors can be utilized as a warning of the likelyhood of the medical or contaminated condition, if the ordinary range of the color factor is known for healthy individuals with skin coloration like that of the test subject. Even if there has been no baseline measurement and the test subject's color is such that a single reading of one or two color factors will not warn of the possible presence of the medical condition or contamination, sequential readings can indicate the presence or absence of the condition based upon changes in the measured color factor, or lack of changes. The color measuring techniques apply to a wide range of biological test subjects (e.g. hair, teeth, tissue, excretions, foods, soil, animals, plants).

Title: Bottom-blown gas blowing apparatus for a molten metal ladle
Inventor: ARAMAKI KEIZO
IPC: B22D41/00
Filed: 1998-02-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for supplying bottom-blown gas through a porous plug in ladle for molten metal refining. A gas supply pipe 3 is connected to a bottom-blowing porous plug 2 attached at the bottom of a ladle 1. An accumulator tank 11a, which is provided in parallel with the gas supply pipe 3. The bottom-blown gas is accumulated into the accumulator tank 11a, and blown into the ladle 1 to agitate the molten metal through the gas supply pipe 3 during refining. After the refining is finished, the switching valve 4 of the gas supply pipe 3 is closed, the switching valve 4a of the accumulator tank 11a is opened and the bottom blowing of a small amount of gas is supplied, and the blowing apparatus 10 is separated from the gas supply source 6 by removing the joint 5. The bottom blowing of a small amount of gas for a long period of time prevents the molten metal from permeating into the ventilating pores of the bottom blowing porous plug after the refining, so that the solidification of molten metal in the ventilating pores of porous plug and the clogging of the pores can be avoided. Thereby, the repeated use of porous plug is made possible without the replacement of the porous plug.

Title: A catalyzed process for producing metal carboxylates for use as animal feed supplements
Inventor: CATRON DOUGLAS HOWARD
IPC: C07C51/41
Filed: 1996-09-10
Abstract: A catalyzed process is disclosed for producing a polyvalent metal C2-C3 carboxylate having the formula M(CH3(CH2)xCOO-)y, wherein M is the polyvalent metal cation that is manganese (Mn+2), cobalt (Co+2), or chromium (Cr+3), x is zero or 1 and y is an integer equal to the cationic charge of M. The polyvalent metal C2-C3 carboxylate is prepared by admixing (i) a dry polyvalent metal compound that is an oxide, hydroxide or carbonate of Mn+2, Co+2 or Cr+3, (ii) an anhydrous C2-C3 carboxylic acid, and (iii) a catalytic agent at a relative molar ratio of about 1:2-10:0.01-3 in the absence of an added solvent or other diluent to form a reaction mixture. The reaction mixture is heated to complete the reaction, remove the produced water and about 80 percent of the unreacted carboxylic acid. The product in residual carboxylic acid is solidified, ground and the product is recovered. The metal carboxylates can be used as biologically available and economical sources of trace metal ions for supplementation in animal diets.
Patent CA-2236407-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for performing automatic synchronization failure detection in an atm network
Inventor: JAYAWARDENA THUSITHA
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-04-30
Abstract: By recognizing that it is not necessary to identify a synchronization failure immediately when the failure occurs, but rather not until the failure results in a detectable difference, the method and system described herein can distinguish between Cell Delay Variation (CDV) and loss of synchronization. Because CDV will have a larger effect on the stability than a failure of the frequency recovery system at the precise moment of the failure, a synchronization failure cannot usually be distinguished from CDV for several minutes or hours, depending upon the stability of the reference clock. The present invention monitors a fill level of a play-out buffer in the ATM network, and attempts to determine if a variation in the fill level is linear with time, which is indicative of a synchronization failure. Upon detecting such a failure, the method of the present invention switches to an adaptive method for frequency recovery. If the variation in the fill level of the play-out buffer is not linear, but an underflow/overflow (or slip) has occurred, then the method of the present invention can inform an intelligent buffer control that the underflow/overflow is not due to the presence of a synchronization failure, which enables the intelligent buffer controller to take appropriate action.
