Patent CA-2424051-A1 (CA)
Title: Induction furnace with improved efficiency coil system
Inventor: FISHMAN OLEG S
IPC: F27D99/00
Filed: 2002-01-07
Abstract: An induction furnace system has an active induction coil surrounding a crucible. A passive induction coil also surrounds the crucible. The passive induction coil is connected in parallel with a capacitor to form an L-C tank circuit. A source of ac current is provided to the active induction coil to produce a magnetic field that inductively heats and melts an electrically conductive material in the crucible. The magnetic field also magnetically couples with the passive induction coil to induce a current in the passive induction coil. This induced current generates a magnetic field that inductively heats and melts the material. The resistance of the L-C tank circuit is reflected back into the circuit of the active induction coil to improve the overall efficiency of the induction furnace system. The crucible may be open-ended to allow the passage of the electrically conductive material through the crucible during the heating process.

IPC: G02C7/14
Filed: 2003-06-23
Abstract: A vision training device includes a fixed frame positionable in front of a wearer's face. The fixed frame defines two windows corresponding in position to the eyes of the wearer, through which light passes. An optic system includes a prism lens, which may have fixed power or variable power by changing shapes thereof. The prism lens is mounted to the fixed frame and is movable between first and second positions, wherein in the first position, light is allowed to pass in a first state with which the eyes are adducted, and in the second position, light is allowed to pass in a second state with which the eyes are abducted. A transmission system is coupled to and selectively drives the prism lens between the first and second positions.  Thus, by repeatedly and cyclically moving the prism lens between the first and second positions, the eyes are forced to change between adduction and abduction thereby realizing training of vision.

Patent CA-2435960-A1 (CA)
Title: Hydrogen enrichment scheme for autothermal reforming
Inventor: MALHOTRA AVINASH
IPC: B01J8/06
Filed: 2003-07-25
Abstract: Recycling a portion of autothermal reformer effluent into the steam-hydrocarbon feed stream with a thermo-compressor ejector is disclosed, using the preheated feed mixture as motive fluid. Syngas recycle-motive fluid molar ratios are 0.2-1.0, selected to optimize the overall configuration. The recycle introduces hydrogen and steam into the feed, and elevates the feed temperature, for operating the reformer in a soot-free regime. There is some pressure drop between the raw feed steam-natural gas mixture and the reformer feed, which requires the raw feed mixture to be supplied at a higher pressure, but this is offset by the lower pressure drop in the process heater and other upstream and downstream equipment due to lower quantities of steam. The feed pre-heater can have a lower duty, and the upstream and downstream equipment can be reduced in size, while the size of the autothermal reformer is about the same compared to the size needed for operation without effluent recycle.
