Title: Control method for heat pumps
Inventor: HWANG IL NAHM
IPC: F25B13/00
Filed: 2005-02-22
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a control method for a multiple heat
pump. In the control method, when one of multiple indoor units
(4) operates in the heating mode and the other indoor units (1,
2 and 3) shut down, electronic expansion valves (15, 16 and 17)
of the shutdown indoor units (1, 2 and 3) are controlled to
have an opening degree (X 1 ) higher than a standard opening
degree (X 0 ) if an outlet temperature of compressors (22) is
higher than a preset temperature, so as to permit a liquid
refrigerant, remaining in the shutdown indoor units (1, 2 and
3), to be more readily recovered to the compressors. This
eliminates a refrigerant shortage phenomenon of the compressors
(22) and prevents deterioration of heating performance as well
as reduction of life-span of the compressors (22).

The first computer further includes a data transmitting means
for sending the calculated value and the pre-stored reference
value used for the diagnosis performed by the first diagnostic
means. The second computer (6) includes a receiving means for
receiving the calculated value and the pre-stored reference
value, and further includes a second diagnostic means for
determining whether the first diagnostic means normally
operates based on a comparison between the calculated value
and the pre-stored reference value received by the receiving
means.

Abstract: Various optical apparatus provide a source of parallel light (7, 75). The parallel
light (7, 75) is generally achieved by directing an incident beam at the apex of a
prism (1, 22, 24, 26, 28). The prism may have varying configurations. One
configuration has a forward conical face (24). Another configuration has a
pyramidal forward end (22). Other configurations are also disclosed. The
application also discloses the use of reflectors (20, 78, 216, 316, 400) having
internal reflective surfaces shaped as three-dimensional figures of revolution, for
example paraboloid or ellipsoid. The reflectors (20, 78, 216, 316) focus light
incident onto the reflectors at one or more foci (F, 220, 320, 420). The reflectors
may be used in combination with the optical apparatus including the prisms (1,
22, 24, 26, 28). The reflectors (20, 78, 216, 316) may be used in flow cytometers
for focusing light at a sample stream (237, 337) passing through the focus (F,
220, 320, 420) of the reflector (20, 78, 216, 316). The collection of scattered
and/or fluorescent light from an illuminated sample stream (237, 337) in a flow
cytometer may be achieved with the use of a collector shaped as a figure of
revolution, e.g. paraboloid or ellipsoid. Various optical methods and methods for
flow cytometry are also disclosed.

Title: Vanne empechant un fonctionnement inverse de compresseur non alimente a l'arret
Inventor: TARAS MICHAEL F
IPC: F04C28/28
Filed: 2005-08-31
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à empêcher une rotation inverse non alimentée dans un compresseur. Ce procédé consiste à placer une vanne électromagnétique à un emplacement situé à proximité de l'évacuation du compresseur. Cette vanne est de préférence actionnée juste après que l'alimentation du moteur est arrêtée, ce qui bloque le flux de frigorigène et l'empêche de s'expanser en arrière vers les chambres de compression du compresseur. Le compresseur selon l'invention est un compresseur à spirale, mais peut également être un compresseur à vis. Ces deux types de compresseurs sont susceptibles de subir une rotation inverse non alimentée indésirable lorsque le frigorigène comprimé se réexpanse à travers les éléments de compression, de l'évacuation vers l'aspiration du compresseur. Le blocage du flux de frigorigène permet d'empêcher cette rotation inverse non alimentée. Un commutateur haute pression peut être disposé directement en amont de la vanne électromagnétique afin d'arrêter immédiatement le compresseur en cas de défaillance de la vanne, et de bloquer le flux de frigorigène pendant un fonctionnement normal du compresseur. Ce commutateur haute pression empêche le fonctionnement continu du compresseur avec une ligne d'évacuation bloquée, par l'envoi d'un signal à un dispositif de commande afin d'arrêter l'alimentation du moteur du compresseur. Un commutateur à différentiel de pression peut être utilisé de la même manière pour éviter des différentiels de pression élevés indésirables à travers la vanne. La vanne peut également être dotée d'une dérivation de flux qui s'ouvre lorsque le différentiel de pression à travers la vanne dépasse une limite de sécurité.

Abstract: A system and a method for to use multiple power sources for supplying power to a load. The system and method use a triggering system to automatically and substantially cancel a ripple component of the input current drawn by the system. A master power source and a slave power source supply power to the load. The triggering system results in the two power sources having switching frequencies that are substantially equal and switching cycles that are substantially 180° out of phase. Further, the method and the device contemplate the use of a local oscillator in the triggering system to ensure that the slave power source is triggered to the on position at a point in the switching cycle of the master power source that is approximately 180° out of phase with a leading edge of the master switching drive signal. The system and method are advantageously used to provide a power factor correction front-end for a switch-mode power supply. Power supplies with a diverse array of relationships between power supplied and switching frequency can be used.

Inventor: NIKOLAY NIFANTIEV
IPC: A61K41/00
Filed: 2005-07-22
Abstract: A low concentration formulation for hydrophobic photosensitizers (PS) and improved method for photodynamic therapy ('PDT'). It was found that PDT treatments using the disclosed low concentration formulations provide for more accurate, more efficient and more convenient dosing. It was found that the inventive formulation (1) reduces the time for a therapeutically effective level of photosensitizer to accumulate in diseased tissue and (2) reduces the time for achieving a sufficient ratio of photosensitizer in diseased tissue vs. healthy tissue. As a result, the formulation of the invention reduces the time interval between PS application/administration and irradiation (the drug-light interval or 'DLI') and can provide for a 'same day' PDT treatment option. The inventive formulation can be used for PDT treatment regimes where photosensitizers are administered in at least one preselected dose, including a low concentration therapy for PDT. In particular, when meta Tetra-Hydroxy-Phenyl Chlorin (m-THPC) is the photosensitizer then a concentration of 0.8 mg/ml to 0.04 mg/ml in a mixture of pure propylene glycol and ethanol in a 3:2 volume ratio accumulates in diseased tissue and differentiates between diseased tissue and normal tissue sufficiently quickly for `one day' or overnight administration and activation treatment procedures to be possible.
