Patent CA-2616475-A1 (CA)
Title: Method of forming cmc component
Inventor: MORRISON JAY A
IPC: C04B35/80
Filed: 2005-07-25
Abstract: A method of forming a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) article (30) or a composite article (60) that minimizes the risk of delaminations while simultaneously maintaining a desired degree of porosity in the material. A  pressure P applied against a surface of the article during a sintering process is controlled to be high enough to resist a separation force between the plies (66) of the CMC material (62) caused by anisotropic shrinkage of the material and/or to resist a separation force caused by differential shrinkage between the CIVIC material and an adjoined monolithic ceramic material (64). The pressure is also controlled to be low enough to avoid undue consolidation of the materials and to provide a desired degree of porosity in the sintered article. The pressure may be applied by delta-alpha tooling, and it may be varied verses the time of the sintering heating and/or across the article surface.

Patent CA-2621130-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KNIGHT KENNETH G
IPC: E02B8/08
Filed: 2008-02-05
Abstract: This invention provides a method and apparatus for enabling fish to pass around or through natural or man-made obstructions by providing a controlled velocity opening through which fish can swim freely. Water velocity through this opening is maintained at a level which fish can navigate by directing a flow of water in the reverse direction to the downstream flow at a point upstream of the control opening such that the kinetic energy and turbulence imparted by the reverse flow counteracts the hydraulic head of the upstream water body, resulting in a controlled flow opening.  By passing this opening, fish move from the downstream water body to the upstream water body in one step.

Protected heat storage is provided by thermosiphoning with a raised reservoir. A horizontal embodiment discloses a two-piece plastic-copper design. Pre-heated cold water from the exchanger is plumbed to a faucet or water heater so as to reduce energy use and related greenhouse gas emissions. Double-wall construction and venting for visible leak detection satisfies plumbing code requirements. Use on vehicular or other combustion engine exhaust pipes is also contemplated for providing instant interior heat and/ or motor warm-up and/or for other heating requirements.
