Title: Apparatus and method for monitoring a hydraulic pump on a material handling vehicle
Inventor: KIRK JOHN BRYANT
IPC: F15B20/00
Filed: 2011-01-05
Abstract: Wear of a pump is estimated using a process that involves operating the pump to drive a hydraulic actuator that moves a member. The actual speed of the member is determined and the speed of the pump is sensed. Pressure of fluid conveyed from the pump to the hydraulic actuator also is sensed. A predicted speed of the member is calculated based on the speed of the pump and the pressure of the fluid. The predicted speed is compared to the actual speed and the result is employed to provide an indication of a degree of wear of the pump. The difference between the predicted speed and the actual speed increases as the pump wear increases.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining the water cut value of a multiphase fluid flowing within a pipe is provided.  The device includes a sequestering structure disposed within the pipe, a transmitting device, a receiving device, and a processing device. The sequestering structure at least partially defines a sensing passage within the pipe, which passage has a gap extending substantially normal to a direction of fluid flow within the pipe. The sensing passage is oriented to sequester an amount of a liquid component of the multi-phase fluid sufficient to form a continuous liquid body extending across the gap of the sensing passage.  The transmitting device is operable to transmit a signal through the liquid across the gap of the sensing passage. The receiving device is operable to receive the signal after it has traversed the liquid within the sensing passage, and create sensor data. The processing device is in communication with at least the receiving device to receive and process the sensor data to determine the water cut value of the liquid.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un couvercle de boîte à boisson qui présente deux parties embouties dont la rupture forme les orifices permettant respectivement la sortie du liquide et l'entrée de l'air. La rupture de ces parties embouties est réalisée par le basculement vers le haut d'un anneau principal monté sur un rivet de la boîte et l'enfoncement vers le bas, après la rupture des parties embouties, d'un levier secondaire comportant des percuteurs coupants qui agissent sur les parties embouties pour provoquer leur rupture. Ledit levier secondaire est monté sur le même rivet et présente une partie terminale d'appui sur une butée de l'anneau pour empêcher les percuteurs se trouvant en position de repos, de pénétrer dans les parties embouties. Dans un autre mode de réalisation plus simple, il n'existe pas de levier secondaire, et le percuteur est intégré sur la périphérie de l'anneau principal lui-même.

Abstract: Méthode pour générer un maillage d'un milieu souterrain comprenant au moins une couche sédimentaire traversée par au moins une faille. La couche étant délimitée verticalement par deux horizons géologiques discrétisés par deux surfaces tridimensionnelles triangulées, on construit, pour chaque horizon, une surface quadrillée tridimensionnelle au moyen d'une technique de dépliage isométrique tenant compte de la présence de faille. Puis, on génère le maillage du milieu souterrain en générant des cellules par création de liaisons entre les surfaces quadrillées tridimensionnelles. Pour ce faire, on détecte des noeuds de la première surface quadrillée situés d'un côté de la faille différent de celui d'un noeud de la seconde surface quadrillée ayant les mêmes coordonnées i, j. On relie chaque noeud non détecté avec un noeud de la seconde surface quadrillée ayant les mêmes coordonnées i, j, et on relie chaque noeud détecté avec la faille en considérant une direction d'un noeud voisin. Enfin, on régularise les cellules ayant au moins deux sommets confondus.

Patent CA-2763028-A1 (CA)
Title: Binary foaming cleaner and disinfectant solution
Inventor: KRAMER SHIRA
IPC: C11D3/26
Filed: 2010-05-27
Abstract: A binary composition is provided comprising two liquids, which are separately maintained prior to forming an admixture during delivery to a hard surface, vessel, or drain. The admixture generates foam of sufficient stability and quantity to effect disinfection and biofilm removal. A first liquid preferably includes a quaternary ammonium compound, a peroxygen agent and, optionally, surfactants, thickening and chelating agents (colorants, corrosion inhibitors, stabilizers, perfume, etc). The second liquid preferably includes a hypohalite generating agent, a source of alkalinity, and optionally, a surfactant and thickening and chelating agents (colorants, corrosion inhibitors, stabilizers, perfume, etc.). Because the two liquids are initially separated, the hypohalite and peroxygen agent can be maintained in an environment that is favorable to their stability until the time of use. When the two liquids are mixed, the hypohalite and peroxygen react to liberate oxygen gas. Foam generation occurs as the escaping gas contacts the quaternary ammonium compound and surfactants and creates foam, which expands to completely fill or cover the drain pipe, or other vessel or a hard surface being treated. The expanded foam contains quaternary ammonium compound and hydrogen peroxide not reacted with the hypohalite generating agent, which act to disinfect, clean and remove biofilm.
