Abstract: Cette invention concerne de multiples procédés d'alimentation en air climatisé et de composants s'y rapportant. Un système à double chambre de répartition comporte une chambre d'entrée assurant l'alimentation d'une pièce en air et une chambre de sortie assurant le rappel de l'air de la pièce dans une unité de traitement d'air. Des conduits font passer l'air de retour à travers la chambre d'alimentation sans compromettre l'intégrité de cette dernière. Des unités modulaires permettent à l'utilisateur de personnaliser les dispositifs d'amenée et de retour. Une unité terminale avec volet amortisseur réglable peut être appliquée à un diffuseur, ce qui a pour effet de transformer ladite unité soit en unité à volume constant, soit en une unité à volume variable. Un thermostat produit des signaux qui ouvrent et ferment le volet amortisseur à intervalles déterminés.
Patent CA-2530497-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHANG HONG
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2004-07-09
Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention relates to a mammalian cell-based high-throughput assay for the profiling and screening of human epithelial sodium channel (hENaC) cloned from a human kidney c-DNA library and is also expressed in other tissues including human taste tissue. The present invention further relates to amphibian oocyte-based medium-throughput electrophysiological assays for identifying human ENaC modulators, preferably ENaC enhancers.  Compounds that modulate ENaC function in a cell-based ENaC assay are expected to affect salty taste in humans. The assays described herein have advantages over existing cellular expression systems. In the case of mammalian cells, such assays can be run in standard 96 or 384 well culture plates in high-throughput mode with enhanced assay results being achieved by the use of a compound that inhibits ENaC function, preferably an amiloride derivative such as Phenamil. In the case of the inventive oocyte electrophysiological assays (two-electrode voltage-clamp technique), these assays facilitate the identification of compounds which specifically modulate human ENaC. The assays of the invention provide a robust screen useful to detect compounds that facilitate (enhance) or inhibit hENaC function. Compounds that enhance or block human ENaC channel activity should thereby modulate salty taste in humans.

Title: Apparatus for supporting an object at a controllable depth within a body of water
Inventor: FILIPS IAN
IPC: F16M13/00
Filed: 2005-12-09
Abstract: An apparatus for supporting an object at a controllable depth within a fluid features buoyant and ballast devices connected to a device for supporting the object. The opposing buoyant and gravitational forces acting on the support device cause it to maintain a generally constant orientation in the fluid and recover from deviations therefrom. The buoyant device has a variable buoyancy that can be controlled in order to control the depth at which the object is supported. A  control device allows the user to raise, lower or maintain the vertical position of the object within the fluid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a snow surface compactor 1 and a track holder 24 to be mounted thereto. The snow surface compactor 1 can be oscillated by an exciter device 2 and, thus, acts two-dimensionally upon the snow via its floor plate 3. It is provided with a suspension device 4 for being attached to a tractor. In the operational direction A of the snow surface compactor 1, the floor plate 3 is provided with a frontal area, positioned at the front and being bent upwards, and a reinforcement structure 5. The particular feature of the snow surface compactor 1 according to the invention is the fact that the exciter device 2 is arranged behind the center of gravity S. This way, it primarily affects with its rear floor plate 3 the snow located below the snow surface compactor 1 in a two-dimensional manner. Based on the floor plate being bent almost all the way through, it is possible in a particularly simple manner to change the surface structure created by rotating the snow surface compactor 1, without having to mount or dismount any track holders 24 and/or track body 23 for profiling.

Abstract: An anchor for embedment into a concrete component, has a head via which load is applied to the anchor in use and an anchoring formation provided by at least one leg extending from the head and profiled along an edge thereof so as to lock into the surrounding concrete. The profile is formed by a series of longitudinally spaced formations each of generally saw-toothed shape with a leading edge of each formation inclining towards the head such that on application of a pulling load to the head the leg will lock tighter into the concrete with increasing load. In one form the anchor is a lifting anchor and having a pair of such legs extending from the head which is adapted for releasable engagement with lifting equipment, and the profile is formed along an inner edge of each of the legs. In an alternative form the anchor is a plate anchor in which the head of the anchor is formed by a plate and a set of such legs extends from each of two opposite sides of the plate transversely to the plane of the plate. Each set of legs comprises at least two parallel legs and the profile is formed along an inner edge of each of said legs.

Abstract: Seeds are implanted in a regular pattern upon an undersubstrate. A GaN crystal is grown on the seed implanted undersubstrate by a facet growth method. The facet growth makes facet pits above the seeds. The facets assemble dislocations to the pit bottoms from neighboring regions and make closed defect accumulating regions (H) under the facet bottoms. The closed defect accumulating regions (H) arrest dislocations permanently.  Release of dislocations, radial planar defect assemblies and linear defect assemblies are forbidden. The surrounding accompanying low dislocation single crystal regions (Z) and extra low dislocation single crystal regions (Y) are low dislocation density single crystals.

Inventor: ROSE IAN DAVID
IPC: G01D5/14
Filed: 2005-01-26
Abstract: An improved linear motor which compensates for manufacturing or assembly errors in the positioning of the magnetic field detectors. The linear motor synthesises a correction signal which can be simply combined (for example added) to the output of one of the magnetic field detectors so as to ensure that the magnetic field detector outputs have the correct phase relationship.  This in turn ensures that accurate positioning of the rotor relative to the stator can be achieved. In a preferred embodiment, a deliberate error is introduced into the positioning of the magnetic field detectors and this error, plus any error due to manufacturing or assembly tolerances, is corrected using the correction signal. This allows a simplified correction circuit which only corrects for phase offset errors in one direction to be used.

Title: Advanced gravity-film & double-helix heat exchangers
Inventor: VASILE CARMINE F
IPC: F28F1/00
Filed: 2006-08-21
Abstract: This invention teaches how to reduce the copper content of a commercially available, all-copper, double--wall-vented, coil & tube Gravity Film Heat Exchangers ("GFX") developed for the GFX.TM. system of U.S. Patent No. 4,619,311. For example, a GFX+TM equivalent of a residential Model G3-60 GFX can be made using 71% less copper. Such significant copper-savings, with comparable heat transfer coefficient ("U"), effectiveness and coil pressure drop, is achieved by improvements in innovations disclosed in Provisional Patent Application 60/709,889 (Filing date: August 22, 2005).  Unlike conventional, single and multi-coil GFX's currently produced by several manufacturers, the present invention enables the use of a variety of metal and/or plastic components to achieve either single or vented-double-wall construction and lower manufacturing costs. In fact, higher U-values can be achieved by increasing the potable-water pressure drop of a GFX+ equivalent of any coil & tube GFX. The present invention also teaches how to simultaneously optimize U-values & pressure drop[s] and means of introducing controlled turbulence & mixing. Such trade-offs cannot be achieved in a conventional GFX  design having one or more coils wound singly or in parallel. It also teaches how to manufacture an improved version of the Double-Helix Heat Exchanger ("DHX"), which is also disclosed in said Provisional Patent Application 60/709,889. Unlike a GFX, which must be installed vertically for best effectiveness, a DHX can be operated in any orientation. For applications permitting higher pressure drop, a DHX can be designed with a much higher U-value than a comparable GFX or GFX+.
