Patent CA-2116277-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WAATTI KURT J
IPC: B01J49/00
Filed: 1994-02-23
Abstract: A water soluble dicarboxylic acid acts as a mold release agent for salt blocks when it is sprayed as a fine powder into the block press mold box just prior to a charge of salt.  The acid has from 6 to 10 carbon atoms; adipic acid is a preferred release agent. The salt block having a layer of the acid on it surface may be used in water softening systems wherein the block sits in a brine reservoir and supplies salt for the recharging of an ion exchange resin. There is no build up of an unsightly scum on the surface of the brine and on the sides of the reservoir as there has been with the use of calcium stearate as the release agent.

Title: Thermofluid conductor and its method of manufacture
Inventor: ORAM GUY
IPC: F24J2/44
Filed: 1994-12-05
Abstract: A  device  for  transferring  fluid  between  regions  of  different temperatures comprises, a tubular container having a top and a bottom, the fluid extending from the top to the bottom and sealed inside it, a liquid phase of the fluid, a vapour phase of the fluid, the pressure at the interface of the liquid and the vapour being the vapour saturation pressure of the fluid. A vessel near the bottom provides a means for trapping some of the vapour and trace amounts of non-condensing and non-dissolving gases below the interface of the liquid and the rest of the vapour, so that the liquid boils easily upon being warmed, without the need for nucleation. The container may be made of transparent material so that the liquid is visible. The liquid may be coloured and contain decorations.            A method for inserting the fluid into the tubular container comprises passing a vapour phase of the fluid through the container from the top to the bottom and into a cup of a liquid phase of the fluid. Sealing the top. Passing some of the liquid in the cup into the container through the bottom and sealing the bottom.            A conductor as described in the present invention will often transfer heat between two regions having a temperature difference lower than is necessary for the operation of thermosiphons and heat pipes used in solar energy and frost heave prevention systems.            A conductor may be used to stir warm drinks.  If the conductor  is transparent then the boiling action of the fluid inside the conductor can be watched.

Title: Method and apparatus for adaptive directed route randomization and distribution in a richly connected communication network
Inventor: RAHNEMA MOE
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1995-02-09
Abstract: In a global communication system comprising a constellation of satellite nodes that move with respect to each other, data packets are routed across communication links in a evenly distributed fashion. Uniform link usage is achieved within allowed routes determined by end to end transport delay criteria. The routing method computes routes in advance using an iterative process which selects routes for each source - destination pair from an allowed feasible set of alternative minimal hop routes by trying to equalize link usage probabilities for the links involved at each step of the route determination process. The routing method takes into account link failures and link and node shutdowns. Minimum hop routes are selected based on maximizing network routing entropy resulting in a uniform usage of the system's communication links. Directed randomization of routes between source - destination pairs of nodes is implemented to prevent link congestion while minimizing packet transport delay. Individual routing tables are generated and maintained in each satellite node.      The tables may be updated regularly to reflect changes in the traffic demand distribution and the physical node connectivity within the constellation which occur as a result of satellite motion and failures in the network.

Title: Digital simulcast transmission system
Inventor: WITSAMAN MARK L
IPC: H04H20/67
Filed: 1993-08-13
Abstract: 2142730 9405110 PCTABS00030 A simulcast system for broadcasting the same signal for a number of spaced-apart broadcast sites is disclosed. The system (20) of this invention includes a hub (28) adapted to receive the signal to be simulcast and a number of stations (30) that actually broadcast the signal. The hub places the digital signal packets referred to as PDBs (36). As part of the signal packetization process, the hub evaluates the rate at which the signals should be broadcast and assigns a start time at which the signals should be broadcast; this information is attached to the PDBs. After a PDB is created it is forwarded to the stations over a link channel. Each station includes a station controller (32) and a station transmitter (34). The station controller, upon receiving a PDB, forwards the signal therein to the transmitter at the start time indicated and at the appropriate broadcast rate. All of the stations transmitting the signals contained within a single PDB do so based on the start time and broadcast rate information contained in that PDB. Consequently, each station broadcasts the same signals at the same time and at the same rate so as to ensure their simultaneous transmission.
