Patent CA-2347041-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PIEPER GERARD
IPC: B24C5/04
Filed: 1998-10-19
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for treating, especially cleaning, abrasive clearing or removing of coatings (1), graffiti or other superficial soiling on parts, work pieces or surfaces (3). A blasting means (2) is gravity fed from a holding container (11) to a carrying air stream (5) which is transported inside a hose guiding system constructed with outgoing and incoming lines. The blasting means are fed through said carrying air flow by low pressure, and, in a blasting chamber (25), are blasted against the surface (3) which is to be treated through a blasting lance (22). From the blasting chamber, said blasting means are transported back to the carrying air stream (5) in such a way that the blasting means (2) are circulated. The acceleration of the blasting means is essentially generated by the low pressure applied on the blasting chamber (25) and by increasing the blasting velocity in an acceleration section (L) by reducing the diameter of the outgoing line in the acceleration section (L). The low pressure outgoing line (20) is connected to a linear acceleration tube (21) which forms an acceleration section (L).  The acceleration tube which comprises a diameter reduction compared to that of the outgoing line is arranged before said blasting lance (22).

Inventor: PONTAOE JOHN S
IPC: A44B19/26
Filed: 2001-05-30
Abstract: The zipper cord attachment includes a male element and a female element. The male element includes cord channels for engaging and securing the ends of a zipper cord or similar cord.      The male element includes a guide ridge complementary to a guide slot within the female element. The female element includes ramped surfaces proximate to an end of the guide slot to detent engage a transverse wall of the male element.

Patent CA-2355392-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BILLMAN GREGORY M
IPC: F25C1/12
Filed: 2001-08-15
Abstract: The present invention comprises an ice harvest system for use in an ice maker.  The ice maker herein includes a refrigeration system for cooling of an evaporator. Ice is formed thereon as water is pumped by a re-circulating pump to flow from a water distribution tube over the evaporator surface. Water that is not immediately frozen thereon flows into a water pan positioned there below. A pressure fitting is positioned in the pan at the bottom thereof and connected to a pneumatic tube. The pneumatic tube is connected to a pressure sensor located on a control board at a position remote from the water pan. Pressure is communicated through the tube to the pressure sensor as a function of the depth of the water in the pan. This pressure is converted by a microprocessor of the control board for interpretation as a water level in the pan. As the water level in the tray lowers due to the formation of ice, the pressure transmitted to the pressure sensor reduces from a predetermined high or full water level. A harvest point occurs which corresponds to the sensing of a predetermined low water level/low pressure point indicating sufficient ice has formed on the evaporator.

Patent CA-2360866-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DAUTAIS JEAN-PIERRE
IPC: E02B13/02
Filed: 2001-11-01
Abstract: The apparatus for sequentially distributing liquid in more than one direction, comprises a support and a reservoir connected to the support. The reservoir is rotatable and tiltable with respect to the support between a rest position where the liquid received therein accumulates and a flush position where liquid stored therein is flushed out via the spout. The spout is oriented such that the liquid flushing out of the reservoir causes by reaction a rotational movement of the reservoir with respect to the support. A counterweight is provided for urging the reservoir towards its rest position, the effect of the counterweight being cancelled when the liquid accumulated in the reservoir reaches a given quantity causing the reservoir to move towards its flush position and to rotate. Releasable stopping means are preferably provided for stopping sequentially the rotational movement of the reservoir in a number of successive radial positions around the support, each time the reservoir is tilted from its rest position to its flush position and is caused to rotate.

Title: Sewer pipe coupling
Inventor: VIEVEEN PETER
IPC: F16L41/08
Filed: 2001-11-01
Abstract: A pipe coupling for transverse connection of a drainpipe to a concrete sewer pipe of larger relative diameter. The coupling has a hollow, longitudinally extending cylindrical body with first and second ends and interior and exterior surfaces. The body has an external locating shoulder, on the exterior surface, integral with the body and extending outwardly therefrom. The external locating shoulder limits penetration of the coupling in an opening in a sidewall of the concrete pipe. The body also has an internal groove on the interior surface, located at a same longitudinal spacing as the external locating shoulder. The internal groove receives an internal sealing ring for creating a seal between the drainpipe and the body when the drainpipe is inserted. The body further has an external recess on the exterior surface, longitudinally spaced from the external locating shoulder, the external recess receiving an external sealing ring for creating a seal between the body and the concrete pipe when the coupling is inserted into the opening.

Title: Curling rock and apparatus and method for detecting a hog line violation
Inventor: SALT J ERIC
IPC: A63B71/06
Filed: 2001-11-27
Abstract: A curling rock for use in the sport of curling where the rock is expected to be released from a curling player prior to the crossing of a hog line. A part of the rock is subject to be magnetically activated so that a magnetic field from an activated rock is sensed for detecting the rock's crossing of the hog line. The rock includes: a handle for being touched by a curling player; and an electric circuit for sensing the presence of a curling player, the electric circuit including (i) a capacitor coupled to the handle, the capacitance value of the capacitor being varied in response to the presence of the curling player at the handle;  and (ii) an activator for magnetically activating a part of the rock in response to the variation of the capacitance value of the capacitor. For example, the handle of the rock may includes a metallic portion. When a curling player touches the metallic handle, the capacitance value is varied and the oscillation frequency is accordingly varied. In response to the variation of the frequency, a magnetic field is generated by the activating means to activate the rock.

Title: Fast response intra-aortic balloon pump
Inventor: LESCHINSKY BORIS
IPC: A61M60/843
Filed: 2000-05-26
Abstract: An intra-aortic balloon pump (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600) includes a balloon (110), a catheter (112) having a relatively small diameter lumen and an extender (114) having a relatively large diameter lumen connected in series. A valve (125, 325, 442/446, 675) is positioned in the extender adjacent the end of the extender connected to the catheter. The valve enables the extender to be pressurized with a working gas prior to inflation of the balloon and to be evacuated prior to deflation of the balloon. A second valve (227, 327, 440/444) adjacent the opposite end of the extender permits the intra-aortic balloon pump to commence a pre-inflation step or a pre-deflation step without affecting the pressure in the extender. Separate positive pressure (314, 414) and negative pressure (315, 415) extenders may be provided to reduce the movement of the working gas during inflation and deflation cycles, thereby increasing pneumatic efficiency.
