Patent CA-2143582-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCDONALD RITCHIE P
IPC: B27B31/00
Filed: 1995-02-28
Abstract: An apparatus and method for aligning objects, particularly logs, into a loading region are provided. The apparatus comprises a stationary first side wall and a second side wall having a section that is movable with respect to the first wall. A lower floor section is provided between the two side walls. The side walls and the lower floor co-operate to define a loading region having an inlet and an outlet. The loading region is expandable from an initial minimum width sufficiently narrow to prevent misalignment of logs introduced through the inlet to a maximum width. Movement of the second movable side wall expands the loading region to create a gap between one side wall and aligned logs arranged against the other side wall. The gap is sufficiently narrow to prevent misalignment of logs introduced into the gap to ensure an aligned and ordered stack of logs within the loading region.

Title: Quick-setting sandwich biscuit cream fillings
Inventor: YOST RUTH A
IPC: A23G3/34
Filed: 1993-10-21
Abstract: Quick-setting cream fillings especially suitable for sandwich biscuits contain fats bearing short C2 to C4 acid residues and llong, saturated C16 to C22 fatty acid residues. One preferred embodiment contains fats bearing butyric acid residues and residues of fatty acids derived from fully hydrogenated oils containing at least about 75 % stearic acid such as hydrogenated soybean oil or hydrogenated canola. Another preferred embodiment contains fats bearing the same complement of saturated long residues, but the short residues are derived from acetic, propionic and butyric acids. These fats are low in calories and low in lauric, myristic, and palmitic saturated and trans unsaturated acid residues. Biscuit sandwiches prepared with these fillings adhere well to the biscuits so that sandwich cookie and crackers containing the fillings are not as misaligned, smeared, or subject to splitting or decapping in production or after storage as conventional products.

Abstract: A method of installing a liner in a dry parent tube of a heat exchanger includes inserting a continuous tubular liner into the parent tube, sealing one end of the continuous tubular liner and sealingly attaching the other end to a source of pressurized fluid and injecting fluid under pressure into the continuous tubular liner to hydraulically expand the tubular liner substantially into contact with the parent tube. The interior of the parent tube may be cleaned beforehand, preferably to a white metal finish. Opposed ends of the continuous tubular liner are milled to conform to the opposed ends of the parent tube, and the opposed ends of the continuous tubular liner are roller expanded into a compression fit with the parent tube. The opposed ends of the continuous tubular liner may be flared into contact with flared ends of the parent tube. An apparatus for expanding a continuous tubular liner into a compression fit with a parent tube of a heat exchanger has a first tube sealing chuck attachable to one end of the continuous tubular liner; a second tube sealing chuck attachable to the other end of the continuous tubular liner; and a pump for supplying fluid to the interior of the continuous tubular liner through one of the tube sealing chucks.

Title: Valved prn adapter for medical access devices
Inventor: ORR DOUGLAS P
IPC: A61M39/00
Filed: 1995-08-02
Abstract: A valved adapter for a medical access device includes a body with a longitudinal axis. The body has a proximal first end, a distal second end and a passageway therethrough which has an inside surface. The passageway has a chamber defined by a proximal shoulder and a segmented distal shoulder both projecting inwardly from the surface of the passageway. The chamber is located intermediate the first end and second end of the body. The adapter includes a valve contained within the chamber for selectively obstructing and allowing fluid flow through the passageway. The valve includes an elongate resilient member with an axis substantially coaxial to the longitudinal axis of the body having a proximal end and a distal end. The elongate resilient member is axially compressed between the distal shoulder and the proximal shoulder, the compression biasing the valve to a normally closed position. The resilient member forms a substantially fluid tight seal with the proximal shoulder which obstructs fluid flow through the passageway. The adapter further includes a pusher for selectively further axially compressing the resilient member when a delivery device is mounted allowing fluid flow through the passageway. The adapter includes fittings for attaching the adapter to a medical access device and for attaching fluid delivery devices to the adapter. The pusher forms a continuous surface with the proximal surface of the adapter when the valve is in the closed position, automatically closing the proximal end of the adapter when no delivery device is mounted and allowing the surface to be wiped.
