Patent CA-2324841-A1 (CA)
Title: Horizontal axis washing machine incorporating flush tumble cycle
Inventor: VANDE HAAR EVAN R
IPC: D06F37/00
Filed: 2000-11-02
Abstract: An overall washing operation for a horizontal axis washing machine includes at least one washing cycle and numerous rinse and spin cycles, with at least a portion of one of the rinse cycles being performed at an increased rotational speed for the spinner while the rinse water level is relatively high in order to establish a flush tumble cycle portion. With this arrangement, rinse water will be caused to flow from an outer tub of the machine through a frontal gap defined between an inner tub or spinner and the outer tub, as well as throughout a sealing boot extending between the outer tub and a front cabinet panel of the machine. This water flow and tumbling pattern causes items which have become lodged in the gap and boot areas to be flushed back into the spinner. Preferably, this flush tumble cycle portion is followed by a drain operation and a final spin cycle.

IPC: C02F3/28
Filed: 2000-12-12
Abstract: The system for converting organic waste reservoirs into anaerobic digester comprises an inflatable roof structure adapted to be installed on a variety of reservoirs to seal it from the atmosphere. The roof structure includes an inner gas-impermeable membrane which is adapted to raise and lower with the level of organic waste contained in the reservoir. A peripheral fold is defined in the gas-impermeable membrane adjacent the inner surface of the surrounding wall of the reservoir to form a downwardly depending skirt which acts as a gas barrier to prevent gas leakage along the inner surface of the reservoir. A gas removal unit is also provided for removing biogas trapped beneath the gas-impermeable membrane from the reservoir.
Patent CA-2328718-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BASTECK ANDREAS
IPC: F01C21/02
Filed: 1999-04-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a positive displacement machine which is especially used as a pump and comprises a work chamber (2) formed in a housing (1). Said work chamber is delimited by two facing walls (3, 4) and by a casing (5), and can be accessed via an inlet (6) and an outlet (7) for a work medium. The invention comprises at least one rotor (8) which is arranged in the housing such that it can move and which subdivides the work chamber. A guiding transmission (10) for controlling the rotor is connected to a drive device (11) located outside of the work chamber. The aim of the invention is to provide a positive displacement machine which can be produced with fewer expenditures and with a lower weight compared to known positive displaced machines of this type. In addition, the aim of the invention is to provide a positive displacement machine which can be operated especially without special lubricants for the bearings. To this end, the rotor or rotors is/are at least partially mounted inside the work chamber, the bearing or bearings (16, 17) arranged inside the work chamber can be accessed by the work medium, and the bearing or bearings is/are produced as antifriction bearings, whereby a lubricant-free operation of the positive displacement machine is possible. As a result, the work medium is virtually prevented from being contaminated with lubricant.

Title: Newcastle disease virus infectious clones, vaccines and diagnostic assays
Inventor: KOCH GUUS
IPC: C07K14/125
Filed: 1999-06-17
Abstract: The invention relates to the process for generating infectious Newcastle disease virus (NDV) entirely from cloned full-length cDNA and to the use of vaccines and diagnostic assays generated with and derived from said process.  The process offers the possibility to modify the NDV genome by means of genetic modification and allows the introduction of mutations, deletions, and/or insertions. The process can be used to modify the virulence of NDV, thereby generating new attenuated live vaccines with enhanced properties. The process can be used to modify the antigenic make-up of NDV, thus allowing the generation of live NDV marker vaccines which can be serologically distinguished from NDV field strains.

Filed: 1999-09-30
Abstract: Capsules, for example for the delivery of pharmaceuticals, are produced from two films of a water-soluble polymeric material, by deforming the films to form a multiplicity of recesses, and filling the recesses with a flowable filling material. The films are then welded together by dielectric welding to form filled capsules, which are cut or punched out of the welded film. These steps may be performed at a single location so as to avoid any problems with registration of the recesses with the welding or cutting means. The polymeric material may be gelatin, or a water-soluble cellulose derivative such as hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, and may also contain a plasticiser.

Abstract: A frequency synthesized signal generator outputs a frequency synthesized signal having a frequency equal to a repetition frequency of a signal under test by employing a reference signal. A phase comparator detects a phase difference between a phase of the frequency synthesized signal and a phase of the signal under test, and outputs a phase difference signal. A voltage control oscillator generates a reference signal phase-synchronized with the signal under test based on the phase difference signal output from the phase comparator, and feeds the reference signal back to the frequency synthesized signal generator. A sampling signal generator circuit generates a sampling signal applied to a sampling section by employing the reference signal output from the voltage control oscillator.
