Granted: 2008-04-22
Abstract: A compressor assembly having a housing with a first inlet. A compressor mechanism within the housing has a second inlet leading to a working space wherein gas is compressed. A baffle surface is extends from proximate the first inlet to proximate the second inlet and is impactable by gas entering the housing through the first inlet. The baffle surface directs gas in a flow path from the first inlet toward the second inlet and defines a baffle opening positioned between the first and second inlets. The length of the baffle opening extends substantially transverse to the flow path and is substantially greater than its width. The baffle opening diverts a portion of the gas directed along the flow path through the opening and intercepts fluid, such as lubricating oil, collected on the baffle surface whereby the fluid is separable by passage through the opening from gas entering the second inlet.

Abstract: A centrifuge concentrator bowl includes a plurality of fluidized recesses at axially spaced positions along the peripheral wall. Each recess is defined by two side walls converging toward a base which has water injection holes for fluidizing materials collecting in the recess. The volume within which collection occurs is defined by a replaceable plastic strip member across the recess spaced from the base so that a water channel is formed inside the bowl between the base of the recess and the strip. Water from the channel is injected through holes in the strip in a generally tangential direction around the recess. The use of the replaceable strip allows the injection openings of the bowl to be tailored to requirements and/or to be cleaned of scale by rapidly removing and replacing the strips in the bowl.
Patent CA-2445727-C (CA)

IPC: A61F2/18
Filed: 2002-06-19
Granted: 2011-05-10
Abstract: A hearing aid has a capacitor with a large capacitance coupled in parallel with the energy source for transient current supply. The operating period of the battery is prolonged compared to prior art digital hearing aids. Further, the smaller variations in supply voltage lead to less distortion of the output signal of the hearing aid signal processor. In a hearing aid with a telecoil, a well defined current path for the current transients generating the high magnetic fields picked up by the telecoil is established.  This facilitates the design of a compensating current path capable of offsetting magnetic interference of the telecoil by the power supply loop, that is substantially independent of battery type and position.
