Title: Luminaire with rotating and removable door
Inventor: TU CHIN-WANG
IPC: F21Y101/00
Filed: 2011-02-02
Abstract: A luminaire including a housing with a service compartment that is accessible through an opening in the housing, a light source, electrical components disposed in the service compartment for powering and operating the light source, and a door rotatably connected to the housing for rotation between a closed position where the door covers the opening and an open position where the door does not cover the opening. The rotatable connection includes an asymmetric pin extending from the door and a cavity formed in the housing having a hinge opening of width W. The asymmetric pin has a cross sectional thickness t and a cross sectional height h. Width W is less than height h and greater than thickness t, such that the pin is removable through the hinge opening when the door is in a removal position where the pin thickness t is aligned to the hinge opening width W.

Abstract: A kind of anti-adhesion device for a relay. The device can include a control circuit and adhesion detecting circuit of first and second relays, which are used to respectively control power on and power off of the first and second electric heater. Closing a switch of the control circuit of the first and second relays is used to lead out the line and the output elements of the adhesion detecting circuit, to form a detecting loop. An interlocking circuit is bridged between the control circuit of the first and second relay. Therefore the first and second relay won't be closed at the same time, to avoid the fault caused by parallel connection of electric heaters. The adhesion detecting circuit can output a square wave when a relay has adhesion. The square wave avoids mixing with a low level output of the detecting circuit.

Title: Method and system for predicting the effect of microbes injected into an oil-bearing reservoir
Inventor: BEATTIE JAMES GARRY
IPC: E21B43/16
Filed: 2011-02-10
Abstract: A method for predicting the effect of microbes injected into an oil-bearing reservoir, the oil-bearing reservoir being capable of being represented by a first computer-generated grid comprising a first plurality of grid blocks, is provided. Measurement data representing the effect of injecting the microbes into a multiple coreflood apparatus is received. The multiple coreflood apparatus comprises at least first and second material samples indicative of a rock formation associated with said oil-bearing reservoir, the first and second samples being capable of being represented by a second computer-generated grid comprising a second plurality of grid blocks, the first and second samples being representative of different regions of the reservoir and being connected such that microbes injected into the first sample are able to flow to the second sample. Selected data of the received measurement data is input into a computer-implemented reservoir model configured to simulate said effect of microbe injection in relation to the second grid. The reservoir model is executed to generate reservoir model data indicative of the effect of injecting the microbes into the multiple coreflood apparatus. Parameters of the reservoir model are adjusted by matching the reservoir model data against the measurement data, in order to calibrate the reservoir model. The calibrated reservoir model is then executed for the first grid to predict the effect of injecting the microbes into the reservoir. A corresponding system, and a method and apparatus for generating data indicative of the effect of injecting microbes into an oil-bearing reservoir, are also provided.

Patent CA-2796653-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RUSSEL LARRY RAYNER
IPC: F16K15/18
Filed: 2011-04-27
Abstract: The present invention is a self piloted check valve which utilizes closure of a piloting flapper valve to permit development of closure forces for a ball valve. The normally open ball valve has a central flow passage and simultaneously rotates and translates as it traverses between its fully open and fully closed positions. An opening bias system utilizes a combination of a first strong, stiff spring and a second weaker, less stiff spring. Reversible decoupling means disconnects and reconnects the second spring at a short travel distance from the normally open position of the ball, while the first spring always provides opening bias forces to the ball. The pressure induced force required to fully close the ball valve following decoupling of the second spring is less than the force required to overcome the combination of the first and second springs.

Abstract: An airway clearance combines a force multiplying percussor and a self-applicator assembly. The percussor has an anvil, a hammer, a coil, and a pulse generator. The anvil has a force receiving surface and a force delivering surface. The hammer also has a force-receiving surface and a force-delivering surface, and is attached to the anvil such that the hammer's force delivering surface and the anvil's force receiving surface are mechanically free to come together or move apart.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing microsphere and microspheres produced by thereby. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for preparing a polymeric microsphere comprising the steps of: mixing a water-insoluble organic solvent with a dispersion solvent; mixing a polymer compound, a drug and a water-insoluble organic solvent so as to prepare a dispersed phase; mixing the dispersed phase with the dispersion solvent mixed with the water-insoluble organic solvent so as to prepare an emulsion; and adding a base or an acid to the prepared emulsion so as to remove the water-insoluble organic solvent from the emulsion and a polymeric microsphere thereby, and a composition for drug delivery comprising the microspheres. In the inventive preparation method, it is possible to conveniently prepare a drug-containing polymeric microsphere within a short time using a small amount of water, with the generation of a minimized amount of waste solution without a requirement of a conventional solvent-evaporation or solvent-extract ion process. Also, since a low concentration of remaining solvent within a prepared polymeric microsphere can be maintained, it is effective in preparation in sustained-release type medicines.
