Patent CA-2116595-C (CA)
Title: Compact lime slaker and method of slaking lime
Inventor: MUZIK CHARLES J
IPC: C04B2/08
Filed: 1994-02-28
Granted: 1997-09-23
Abstract: A compact lime slaker has an inner vessel forming an initial slaking chamber disposed in an outer vessel forming a final slaking chamber, with agitators provided in both chambers.  Slaked lime from the final slaking chamber is pumped to a collection trough where slaked lime and grit are removed therefrom, while a major portion of slaked lime, with grit removed is returned to the final slaking chamber.   The slaked lime in the final slaking chamber, at an elevated temperature due to the slaking exotherm, insulates the lime being slaked in the initial slaking chamber and provides heat thereto to aid in the initial slaking.  Removal of grit from the portion of slaked lime recycled to the final slaking chamber prevents clogging or attrition of components of the slaker.

Title: Optical imaging system including generally conical, transparent protective dome and optically refractive fixed corrector for reversing conical deformation created by viewing through the dome
Inventor: WICKHOLM DAVID R
IPC: F42B15/01
Filed: 1994-03-09
Granted: 2001-05-15
Abstract: A camera (40) is mounted on a gimbal (44) inside a missile (30) and views forwardly through a transparent, generally conical front dome or ogive (70). An optically refractive corrector (72) is mounted in front of the camera lens (42) for integral movement therewith. The corrector (72) has a least one conical surface segment (74a,74b) which is dimensioned to reverse optical conical deformation created by the dome (70). The conical deformation includes little or no refractive power in a plane defined by the axis (38) of the dome (70) and the look axis (46) of the camera (40) and gimbal (44), and progressively varying one-dimensional refraction perpendicular to this plane.      Variables including the apex angles (.alpha.1, .alpha.2) of cones (76,78) which define the surfaces (74a,74b), the angle (.alpha.3) between the axes (76b,78b) of the cones (76,78), the distances (D1,D2) between the apices (76a,78a) of the cones (76,78) and the center (74c) of the corrector (72), the tilt angle (.alpha.5) and the index of refraction of the corrector (72) provide sufficient degrees of freedom to enable a best fit solution which substantially reverses the conical deformation created by the dome (70).

Abstract: A code division multiple access (CDMA) communicating system reduces interference by reducing the encoding rate for selected mobiles. The system (400) primarily uses link related characteristics such as, inter alia, distance measurements, physical resource power, and mobile determined noise, to determine which mobiles require an encoding rate reduction. Once determined, the encoding rate of the determined mobiles is reduced, which in turn reduces self-interference and enhances system capacity.

Abstract: A lighting track for use in public transportation vehicles comprises an outer track having upstanding walls connected together by a base portion, together defining a first retention channel. The upstanding walls have a downwardly facing first barrier portion. A receptacle has first and second side walls connected together by a spanning portion, together defining an second retention channel. The side walls have an upwardly facing second barrier portion, and a downwardly facing third barrier portion. When the receptacle is in place in the first retention channel, the first and second sidewalls are each selectively movable between a respective locking position where the second barrier portion is in intimate engagement with the first barrier portion and a respective unlocking position where the second barrier portion is removed from intimate engagement with the first barrier portion. A top cover has first and second side walls connected together by a lens. The side walls have an upwardly facing fourth barrier portion. A lighting element is disposed between the receptacle and the top cover. When the protective top cover is in place in the second retention channel of the receptacle and the receptacle is in place in the first retention channel of the outer track, the first and second barrier portions intimately engage each other in interfering relation, and the third and fourth barrier portions intimately engage each other in interfering relation, so as to lock the receptacle within the outer track and to lock the protective top cover within the receptacle.

Abstract: Un procédé et une installation permettent de brûler des boues ou des gâteaux de filtres pendant la fabrication de clinker de ciment. On fabrique le ciment de façon classique en préchauffant, calcinant et brûlant la farine crue de ciment pour la transformer en clinker, lequel est alors refroidi, la boue étant séchée et divisée en particules fixes avant combustion. En liaison avec ce procédé, on en décrit un autre, pour le séchage qui permet de réduire nettement le volume de gaz de séchage passant par le secteur. Il consiste à envoyer la farine crue chaude depuis le préchauffeur, ou un cyclone séparateur qui accompagne le four à calciner, vers le sécheur, qui peut être un sécheur-broyeur. Il n'existe en principe pas de limite supérieure à la teneur en eau des boues utilisables avec ce procédé, lesquelles incluent de boues de curage, terres décolorantes, boues de papier, déchets de fibres, résidus chimiques combustibles, par exemple des déchets provenant de la fabrication de nylons et de pesticides ou des boues de forage résultant de la recherche de pétrole, etc.

Title: Ion beam process for deposition of highly abrasion-resistant coatings
Inventor: KNAPP BRADLEY J
IPC: C23C14/46
Filed: 1995-03-01
Granted: 2005-11-22
Abstract: An ion beam deposition method is provided for manufacturing a coated sub-strate with improved abrasion resistance, and improved lifetime. The substrate is first chemically cleaned to remove con-taminants. Secondly, the substrate is in-serted into a vacuum chamber (1) on holder (3), and the air therein is evacuated via pump (2).  Then the substrate surface is bombarded with energetic ions from ion beam source (4) supplied from inert (5) or reactive (6) gas inlets to assist in re-moving residual hydrocarbons and surface oxides, and activating the surface.  After sputter-etching the surface, a protective, abrasion-resistant coating is deposited by ion beam deposition where reactive gas in-lets (7, 8 and 9) may be employed.  The ion beam-deposited coating may contain one or more layers.  Once the chosen coat-ing thickness is achieved, deposition is ter-minated, vacuum chamber pressure is in-creased to atmospheric pressure and the coated substrate products having improved abrasion-resistance are removed from the chamber. These coated products may be plastic sunglass lenses, ophthalmic lenses, bar codes scanner windows, and indus-trial wear parts needing protection from scratches and abrasion.

Abstract: A compact rack construction is provided for mounting a pack of thermoplastic grocery or retail product bags of the T-shirt type and which includes a frame and a pair of generally horizontally and outwardly extending laterally-spaced support arms for receiving the apertures in the handles of the bags in the pack at an outer end portion and for mounting the bag pack on a horizontal portion for consecutive opening and removal of the bags from the bag pack and from the rack.  Each of the support arms include an upper surface and a lower surface extending horizontally from the frame to define the horizontal portion of the support arms therebetween and then extending upwardly from horizontal at predetermined different angles and being joined at outer ends to each other by a loop surface formed with a smooth radius to define the support arm outer end portion therebetween. The upward extension of said lower surface is offset forward with respect to the upward extension of said upper surface.  This construction allows mounting of the bag pack on the support arms over the outer end portion, while providing a resistance to free movement of the handles of the bags off the outer end portion of the support arms.
