Title: Laser ultrasonic flaw detection apparatus
Inventor: NARUO KAZUTERU
IPC: G01N29/04
Filed: 1991-11-22
Abstract: A reflector/vibrator plate is irradiated with an ultrasonic-generation pulsed laser beam to generate an ultrasonic wave therein, and the thus-generated ultrasonic wave is transmitted into an object to be inspected. The ultrasonic wave transmitted into the inspection object returns to the reflector/vibrator plate by being reflected by a defect such as a flaw present inside the inspection object, if any, thereby causing a vibration in the reflector/vibrator plate. By detecting this vibration with an ultrasonic-detection continuous laser beam, the presence of the defect is detected and located in the inspection object. The ultrasonic flaw-detection apparatus can be applied to a variety of inspection objects, including reflectors having irregularities on the surface or a poor reflectivity, inspection objects having on the surface thereof an opaque liquid which will not allow transmission of the laser beam therethrough, and inspection objects which do not permit generation of ultrasonic waves with a laser beam.

Inventor: MISHELEVICH DAVID J
IPC: A61B8/00
Filed: 1992-12-18
Abstract: An inhaler device ( 100) for aerosol delivery of medication employs a microprocessor (220) and electronic sensors (230) for measuring parameters indicative of a patient's  inhalation of airborne medication. The sensors produce output signals representative of parameters which determine the proper delivery of medication to receptor sites in the patient's lungs, such as,the rate of flow of air through the inhaler device to the patient's lungs, the duration of inspiration of the medication, and the volume of medication inhaled. The microprocessor is responsive to the output signals of the sensors and stores a record of inhalation events which can be retrieved remotely or by connecting the microprocessor to a display terminal (108). The microprocessor  makes possible a display of data indicative of the delivery of medication for each inhalation event over a course of treatment, thus providing compliance feedback to both the patient and the medical professional.
Patent CA-2127887-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COUCH RICHARD W JR
IPC: H05H1/34
Filed: 1992-05-08
Abstract: In a plasma arc cutting torch (10), a flow of plasma gas is bypassed out of a plasma chamber (14) preferably at an annular gap between a pre-orifice in an inner nozzle piece (36) and an exit nozzle orifice in an outer nozzle piece (38). A bypass channel (20) formed between the inner and outer nozzle pieces directs the bypass flow to atmosphere. A metering valve (22) or restricting orifice remote from the gap controls the amount of the bypass flow and delays the response of changes in the flow parameters in the plasma chamber (14) to changes in the bypass flow. The pre-orifice and nozzle orifice are positioned and dimensioned to optimize the mass flow velocity and the strength of a vortex-type flow at the pre-orifice, thereby creating a virtual nozzle immediately below the electrode (30). The gas flow in the plasma chamber (14) is highly uniform and very steady.

Title: Cleaning Method and Apparatus Utilizing Sodium Bicarbonate Particles
Inventor: RUBEY ARTHUR C
IPC: B24C1/00
Filed: 1994-08-31
Abstract: A method and apparatus for effecting the continuous reliable supply of sodium bicarbonate particles to a blasting nozzle employing pressured air or water for conveying such particles into contact with a surface to be cleaned.  A hopper having an inclined bottom surface terminating in a central aperture is provided for containing a mass of sodium bicarbonate particles. One of a plurality of different sized orifices are mounted in a central aperture in the bottom of the hopper and the discharge passage through such orifice is in transverse communication with a pair of pipes. One pipe is exposed to the atmosphere through an adjustable flow valve. The other pipe is connected by a hose to a venturi passage provided in the blast nozzle, thus creating a suction flow of air through the pipe to convey particles passing downwardly through the selected orifice to be injected into the pressured fluid passing through the applicating nozzle. The amount of air flow permitted through the pipe by the adjustable flow valve is coordinated with the aperture size of the particle feeding orifice, which in turn is a function of the size of the particles of sodium bicarbonate being utilized, to produce a volume flow of sodium bicarbonate particles which at no time occupies more than 25 percent of the cross-sectional area of the pipe and the hose connected to the applicating nozzle.
