Inventor: INSLEY THOMAS I
IPC: D04H1/42
Filed: 1994-05-10
Abstract: A method and article for protecting a container that contains a fluid. The method includes the steps of: (a) providing a container (12) that holds a fluid and that has first and second ends, a side, and a length; (b) providing a conformable nonwoven web (13, 13') that contains at least 5 weight percent microfibers based on the weight of fibrous material in the nonwoven web, the conformable nonwoven web having a length in at least one dimension that is substantially greater than the length of the container; and (c) wrapping the conformable nonwoven web at leat one full turn about the container such that (i) the container forms an axis about the web is wrapped and (ii) first and second portions of the nonwoven web project axially from the first and second ends of the container. The article includes a conformable sleeve (10) having a tubular body (11) that has an opening (16) sized to permit a container (12) to enter the interior of the conformable sleeve. A nonwoven web (13, 13') containing microfibers is employed in the tubular body of the sleeve to protect the container and sorb fluid which would leak from the container in the event of a failure.

IPC: C02F1/52
Filed: 1996-02-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to a property determining apparatus for automatically determining in real time, properties of a slurry material such as of a sludge under treatment.  The apparatus, being provided with a sampling cylinder 2, a quantitative sampling piston pair comprised of a rear piston 3 and a front piston 4, an air cylinder 5, a measurement tank 8, and a measuring means 10, is connected to a transfer pipe P and the like for a slurry material via a connecting opening 2w of the sampling cylinder 2.  As a measuring operation, slurry material is first collected into the sampling cylinder 2 by a volume corresponding to the space S of the pistons 3,4 when the quantitative sampling piston pair is retracted from an initial position shown with a two-dot chain line, supplied to the measurement tank 8 when the space between the pistons are narrowed, then the properties of a slurry material is measured with the measuring means 10, and after that, the space of the pistons are returned to an original position so as to return the slurry material from the measurement tank into the sampling cylinder, and finally the quantitative sampling piston pair is returned to the original position to allow slurry material to be returned to the transfer pipe.

Abstract: A flame support 20 has a plurality of discrete regions 22 through which a fuel/air mixture can pass by means of burner ports 13 which extend through the support to a multiplicity of openings 25 at the flame supporting side 24. The support 20 comprises barriers 21/26 which extend between and separate the discrete regions 22. The barriers serve to prevent the passage of the fuel/air mixture from upstream of the support to the downstream side 24 of the support in a region between the discrete regions. In burners provided with such a flame support, the likelihood of resonant combustion noise occurring has been found to be reduced.

Patent CA-2185303-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FANKHAUSER ERIC
IPC: H04Q3/52
Filed: 1996-09-11
Abstract: A crosspoint device has a first side containing data input pins, and a second opposed side at which each pin opposite a data input pin is a "no connect" pin which is not connected to any circuit in the device. This allows the devices to be arranged in a matrix with data input traces bussed across the circuit board beneath each device to the next device without the need for vias, simplifying circuit board construction, reducing signal degradation due to signal reflections on high speed interconnect traces, and reducing crosstalk. Each device also has self terminated expansion data inputs on one side, with an on-board 2 x 1 multiplexer to connect either the crosspoint matrix or the expansion data inputs to the data outputs, further facilitating assembly of the devices into a compact array with reduced circuit board complexity, signal degradation, and crosstalk.

Patent CA-2203746-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LACROIX MONIQUE
IPC: C08J5/18
Filed: 1997-04-25
Abstract: L'emballage et même le suremballage des produits de consommation est une pratique courante dans les pays industrialisés. Comme ces emballages sont formés essentiellement de polymères non-biodégradables, ils causent actuellement des problèmes environnementaux. Ces problèmes environnementaux sont retrouvés non seulement dans les pays industrialisés mais aussi dans les pays en voie de développement. Cette situation a favorisé le développement de différents films, plus écologiques, à partir d'éléments biodégradables à base de polysaccharides, de protéines et/ou de lipides. Nous avons mis au point un film protéique biodégrada ble formé à partir d'un sel de la caséine. D'origine laitière, la caséine est abonda nte et pourrait même être récupérée des laits invendus. Le processus de polymérisation est induit par irradiation gamma. En effet, l'interaction de radicaux hydroxyl avec les tyrosines présentes dans la protéine crée une liaison covalente (bityrosine). L' ajout d'agent plastifiant est indispensable afin de produire un film plus souple et mo ins friable. La présence de glycérol n'inhibe pas la formation de bityrosine. Elle p rotège la protéine de la dénaturation causée par l'irradiation, augmente le pouvoir déform ant et diminue la résistance à la rupture du film. Les essais de biodégradabilité, cond uits dans nos laboratoires, ont démontré que le film produit par irradiation gamma es t accessible aux attaques enzymatiques de Pseudomonas fragi.

Title: Heating apparatus for vehicle
Inventor: KATO YASUSHI
IPC: F24J3/00
Filed: 1997-07-21
Abstract: A viscous heater for heating cooling water for cooling a water cooled engine is disposed in a cooling water circuit, and a front heater core is disposed in the cooling water circuit at a downstream side of the viscous heater with reference to a flow direction of the cooling water.  Only when a heating operation is the maximum heating operation or the maximum heating operation is desired, a viscous clutch is turned on to transmit a driving force of the engine to the viscous heater.  When the maximum heating operation is not desired, the viscous clutch is turned off so that the driving force of the engine is not transmitted to the viscous heater.          Therefore, a load of the engine is reduced, and the cost for running the vehicle can be lowered.

Title: Method for assignment of wavelength channels in an optical bus network
Inventor: BERG MAGNUS
IPC: H04B10/213
Filed: 1996-02-02
Abstract: The method according to the invention relates to channel assignment in an optical bus network, comprising N nodes connected in series to one another by way of a pair of optical fibres, which facilitate simultaneous, two-way communication between all nodes of the bus network. A second pair of optical fibres, which directly connect the first and second nodes of the bus network, is adapted, after protective switching, to maintain the said communication in the event of an interruption in the first pair of fibres. Each transmitter on the bus network transmits a certain network channel. Each receiver on the bus network receives a certain wavelength channel and allows other wavelength channels to pass to the next node. The channel which is received by a receiver in a node is entirely removed from the network, whereafter the channel can be re-used for transmission of information between two other nodes. In this way a minimum number of channels can be used for the said communication between the nodes. By means of the channel assignment method according to the invention a minimum number of channels can be assigned to a node in an optical bus network in such a way that the channel assignment can be maintained in the event of an interruption at any point on the bus network.
