Patent CA-2602880-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VARANASI PADMA PRABODH
IPC: B65D83/72
Filed: 2007-09-14
Abstract: An aerosol dispenser assembly is provided that enables a compressed gas propellant to be used to deliver liquid product in a fine mist, whereby the droplets of the mist have mean Sauter diameters of less than 35 µn. The dispensing system includes the use of a compressed gas propellant that is soluble in the liquid product at room temperature but that has a reduced solubility in the liquid product at temperatures exceeding room temperature.  The system also includes a valve attached to a pressurized container containing the liquid product and gas propellant. The valve includes an actuator cap that has a swirl chamber and an exit orifice and a built-in heater that at least partially surrounds the swirl chamber. As the propellant and liquid product stream exits the actuator cap, the heater heats the exit stream thereby decreasing the solubility of the compressed gas propellant in the liquid product, resulting in cavitation or the formation of compressed gas bubbles in the exit stream which produces unstable small ligaments of liquid product in the exit stream. The small ligaments are naturally converted to small droplets having small diameters. The droplets may then undergo secondary atomization to further reduce their size.

Title: Mooring cleat
Inventor: STRONG PAUL NATHAN
IPC: B63B21/06
Filed: 2006-05-09
Abstract: An automatically and remotely operable retractable mooring cleat. The retractable cleat is mountable in a surface, such as the deck (80), of a marine vessel. A source of motive energy forms part of an actuation mechanism energisable by a user to extend or retract cleat members (1,2) from the surface. The cleat members (1,2) each travel along diverging paths as they extend and travel along the same respective paths as they are retracted. The cleat is thereby able to extricate itself from an attached mooring line as it retracts. Multiple retractable cleats may be positioned about a marine vessel, each of which is operable remotely to extend or retract. Single-handed launching of a moored vessel is therefore possible.
