Patent CA-2133196-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CAPODIECI ROBERTO A
IPC: A23G1/00
Filed: 1993-04-02
Abstract: A process and a system for combining and physically working chocolate-making ingredients are provided. A variable fre-quency drive (35) controls the motor (34) of a conching device (29) to increase the efficiency by which energy is imparted to choc-olate ingredients during conching. This automatic variable speed approach permits the power to be maintained at a relatively con-stant and maximum rate, with the speed being determined by the consistency of the ingredients themselves. Feedback associated with the automatic speed variation can be used in order to reduce conching times and vary the quantity of certain ingredients and the timing of and location of their introduction. By the invention, it is possible to standardize the chocolate product during the conching operation and thereby avoid a post-conching standardization procedure with respect to characteristics such as viscosity and fat content.

Patent CA-2152445-A1 (CA)
Title: Temperature and pressure resistant shutoff valve
Inventor: BORST RONALD WM
IPC: F16K5/04
Filed: 1995-06-22
Abstract: The float-controlled shutoff valve has an upright flow passage controlled by a transverse valve spool rotated between open and closed positions by the float in response to changing levels of liquid within the holding tank. The spool has a deep, generally U-shaped, diametrically extending cavity on one side and a single, solid sidewall on the opposite side, the cavity being so formed that it presents a cross-flow inlet approximately one quarter turn away from the passage blocking surface of the sidewall. Hence, when the spool is in its open position during filling, the cavity is vertically flow-aligned with the passage while the blocking sidewall is disposed alongside the passage, and when the spool is in its closed position the blocking sidewall spans the passage above the horizontally disposed cavity to prevent fluid movement past the spool. As the spool leaves its open position and commences progressive rotation toward its closed position, the large void area of the cavity and its lack of sidewall structure in opposition to the blocking sidewall avoids the presentation of a deflecting or impinging surface against which the flow can bear as it moves through the spool, thus avoiding the creation of a countervailing force tending to reopen the valve. Special geometric relationships between the valve body and the spool, as well as a special manner of journaling the spool for rotation relative to the body, minimize leakage past the spool itself and at the journal points, while also promoting rapid filling.

Patent CA-2155252-A1 (CA)
Title: Remote control system and method for an autonomus vehicle
Inventor: KEMNER CARL A
IPC: G05D1/00
Filed: 1995-08-03
Abstract: A system and method for remotely controlling an autonomous vehicle uses a tele-panel to interrupt autonomous operation. Radio communications established between the tele-panel and the vehicle ceases autonomous operation of the vehicle and places the vehicle in a tele-ready mode in which the vehicle will not respond to commands from other tele-panels. Upon communication of a tele-operation request signal to the vehicle, the vehicle enters tele-operation mode. In this mode, the vehicle is responsive only to speed and steering angle requests from the transmitting tele-panel. A unique tele-panel identifier transmitted to the vehicle prevents other tele-panels from gaining control of the vehicle. If communications between the vehicle and the tele-panel identified by the tele-panel identifier are interrupted while the vehicle is in tele-operation mode, the vehicle is locked and will not respond to commands from other tele-panels and will not enter autonomous operation If communications between the vehicle and the tele-panel identified by the tele-panel identifier are interrupted while the vehicle is in the tele-ready mode, autonomous operation or control by other tele-panels is not prevented.

Title: Use of isovaleramide as a mild anxiolytic and mild sedative agent
Inventor: BALANDRIN MANUEL F
IPC: A61K31/16
Filed: 1994-06-10
Abstract: Isovaleramide has been found to exhibit mild anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) activity at low to moderate dosage levels and mild sedative activity at somewhat higher dosage levels. In contrast to certain other materials thought to be anxiolytic or mildly sedative, isovaleramide is non-cytotoxic and does not paradoxically stimulate the central nervous system. Isovaleramide is therefore useful as a mild anxiolytic and mild sedative agent which can be made available to the general public.

Title: Method and apparatus for estimating radar signal polarisation
Inventor: GRAHAM STEPHEN PAUL MARTIN
IPC: G01S3/04
Filed: 1996-01-26
Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus by means of which a coarse estimate of radar signal polarisation can be obtained. An array comprises at least three differently directed detectors. The polarisation is estimated by measuring an amplitude relationship, such as a ratio of amplitudes, for two adjacent detectors and for two non-adjacent detectors. This provides sufficient information to obtain a coarse estimate of the polarisation state, obtainable by using the value of the amplitude relationship for the two adjacent detectors together with a look-up table to estimate values of the amplitude relationship for the two non-adjacent detectors for different polarisation states, and then comparing the measured and estimated values for this amplitude relationship.

Title: Head for a floor-cleaning mop
Inventor: KRESSE FRANK
IPC: A47L13/20
Filed: 1994-09-01
Abstract: The invention concerns a floor-cleaning mop head having an oblong textile base fabric with, attached to the top at both ends, slide-in pockets for the head-holder and, attached underneath, material designed to collect moisture and dirt in the form of hair tufts, fringes, loops, foam-rubber strips, etc.  The aim of the invention is to provide a design which ensures that the pockets on top of the mop head remain open even after the mop head has been washed several times, without the other useful characteristics of the mop being affected.  This is achieved by virtue of the fact that the oblong base fabric (2) consists, at least in the zone of the slide-in pockets (3), of a material which is more highly heat-shrinking than the textile material of which the pockets (3) are made.

Once the excess air is extracted, a cap is placed over the valve to ensure a permanent seal. Removal of excess air and moisture from the bag protects the stored article against insects, bacteria, mildew, corrosion. etc. A variety of seals for closing the bag are described.
Patent CA-2180491-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PICKERING ALAN HUGH
IPC: H01J23/54
Filed: 1996-07-04
Abstract: An inductive output tube, such as an IOT has a generally cylindrical input cavity within which an annular channel 32 is defined by part of the cavity wall 30 and other walls 33 and 34 to give a U-shaped cross-section. The channel 32 is substantially wholly filled with high frequency energy absorbing material such as ferrite loaded silicone rubber 35. This prevents unwanted oscillations and because of the large surface area of the channel in contact with the material 35 it is particularly efficient. Other configurations and locations of the channel are also possible and the absorbing material may occupy only part of the channel providing that it is in contact with the surfaces of the channel walls.
