Title: Beverage package and a method of packaging a beverage
Inventor: LYNCH FRANCIS J
IPC: B65D85/73
Filed: 1993-06-29
Abstract: ABSTRACT A  beverage  package  and  a  method  of  packaging  a beverage such as beer containing gas in solution has a container can 1 having a primary chamber 1A charged with beer 14 to form a small headspace 15.   The can 1 is sealed and includes a submerged insert 8 forming a relief chamber 6 which is sealed by a closure 11.    The insert 8 is responsive to heat applied during pasteurisation which causes the closure 11 to open the relief chamber so that the latter can accommodate beer derived from the primary chamber 1A to provide an enlarged headspace 15A.    The small headspace 15 initially provided facilitates removal of air therefrom prior to sealing of the container while the enlarged headspace 15A is adequate to accommodate froth or foam developed by the intentional liberation of gas from solution  in the beer.     An  insert part  7  forming a secondary chamber 5 may be provided for injecting gas or liquid into the beer to liberate gas therefrom for froth or foam development in the enlarged headspace.    The relief chamber 6 may contain gas under pressure so that when opened to the primary chamber the release of such gas pressurises the enlarged headspace 15A.   The insert part 7 may be located within the relief chamber 6.

Filed: 1993-12-13
Abstract: TITLE OF THE INVENTION          "PROCESS FOR PREPARING NOVEL HIGH SOLIDS NON-AQUEOUS POLYMER COMPOSITIONS"          ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE    The use of falling-film evaporation and a concentration means such as centrifugal separation to dehydrate and concentrate a water-in-oil polymer emulsion or suspension is disclosed.  In a preferred embodiment, a water-in-oil polymer composition containing less than about 25% active polymer solids is dehydrated in falling-film evaporator to produce an evaporator concentrate containing less than about 5.0% water.  The evaporator concentrate then flows to a separation device such as a centrifuge, wherein oil is removed to produce a composition that is substantially a polymer and emulsifying surfactant-in-oil composition containing in excess of about 60 weight % polymer solids.  The centrifuge raffinate may optionally be treated in a second separation means to capture additional polymer solids, with optional recycle of the oil-rich raffinate.  The concentrated polymer composition is preferably stabilized with a steric stabilizer to produce a free flowing liquid product.

Title: A method of removing nitrogen from hot flue gases
Inventor: LIPPMANN ALFRED
IPC: B01D53/34
Filed: 1994-05-06
Abstract: In the device for selective non-catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides, a liquid nitrogen-containing reducing agent is sprayed through two-component lances into a stream of hot flue gases. Spraying occurs in pulsatory operation at a frequency of 5 to 70 per second, preferably 10 to 20 per second. As a result of this mode of operation, a spray cone of relatively coarse long-range drops and a spray cone of relatively fine short-range drops are produced alternately at each two-component nozzle. The reducing agent is ammonia dissolved in water (ammonia solution) at flue-gas temperatures of 1060°C to 1170°C. The device for working the method comprises a flue-gas duct 3 incorporating a number of two-component lances 4 operated by a pressure medium. The liquid and gas feed pipes for each two-component nozzle lance 4 are connected to a first resonance chamber 15 disposed in the two-component nozzle and upstream of at least one additional resonance chamber 18 separated from the first resonance chamber 15 by a restrictor 17. The last resonance chamber 18, considered in the direction of flow, is then directly connected to the outlet opening 19 of the two-component nozzle.

Patent CA-2133474-A1 (CA)
Title: Axial locking device
Inventor: BARNES AUSTEN BERNARD
IPC: F16B21/00
Filed: 1993-04-02
Abstract: An axial locking device has locking balls (5) which engage in a groove (4) in a male member (2) to lock the male member (2) to a female member (1). To effect locking, a first axial movement of the male member (2) causes it to abut an end surface on a slider (8) and pushes slider teeth (9) against rotor teeth (11), and a return movement of the male member (2) allows the slider (8) and rotor (12) to return, pushed by a spring (13). In this way, the rotor (12) is caused to rotate and its internal cam surface moves the locking balls (5).     To reduce the number of pans and simplify manufacture, retaining teeth (10) are formed by U-shaped clips on the housing (6) of the female member (1), and act to prevent rotation of the slider (8) during its axial movement, and to prevent rotation of the rotor (12) until the rotor teeth (11) have cleared the retaining teeth (10), causing a click or snap action. During the return movement of the slider (8) and rotor (i2), the rotor teeth (11) cam over the ends of the retaining teeth (10) and continue to rotate the rotor (12) in the same direction.

Filed: 1994-02-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for encoding and decoding to facilitate coherent communication. In encoding, reference symbols are inserted into a stream of input data symbols (110) to form a reference coded stream of input data symbols (114). Subsequently, the reference coded stream of input data symbols are prepared for transmission over a communication channel by spreading the reference coded stream of input data symbols with a spreading code prior to transmission over the communication channel. In decoding, a received communication signal (120) is despread with a spreading cede to derive a stream of reference samples (132) and a stream of data samples (138). The channel response is estimated by utilizing the stream of reference samples (132). Finally, an estimated data symbol is detected from the stream of data samples (138) by utilizing the estimated channel response.
