Patent CA-2394463-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEE JAE HYUK
IPC: F25B21/04
Filed: 2002-07-22
Abstract: An air conditioner contains one or more vertically positioned manifolds. Each manifold defines a vapor space, a liquid space, and capillary tubes connecting the two spaces. The manifold is filled with a refrigerant or heating fluid.  The manifold is either cooled or heated by thermoelectric modules. The fluid cycles through evaporation and condensation within the manifold, without the aid of a condenser or pump. Alternating banks of heating and cooling manifolds may be combined so that thermoelectric modules positioned between the manifolds will heat the heating manifolds and cool the cooling manifolds. A combined air conditioner and heater may be used in automobiles and buildings. The heating manifolds my be used to heat air, water or other fluid streams.

Title: Ferrous chloride conversion
Inventor: TEMYANKO VALERY L
IPC: C01B7/07
Filed: 2001-01-18
Abstract: To produce ferric chloride, pickle liquor containing ferrous chloride and fortified with sufficient HC1 is converted to ferric chloride in the presence of oxygen in a tower at a temperature above 132 ~F. The ferric chloride solution from the tower is subjected to evaporation so as to increase the concentration of the ferric chloride. The resultant concentrate is recycled into the tower until a concentration of about 40 % by weight ferric chloride is obtained. A gas phase from either or both of the tower and the evaporator is scrubbed in order to remove HC1 which can be used to fortify the pickle liquor.

Title: Foamed rubber structure and method of making the same
Inventor: BRYANT RICHARD
IPC: C08J9/32
Filed: 2001-02-15
Abstract: A foamed rubber having a plurality of microvoids comprising microspheres incorporated therein characterised in that the microspheres are expanded during heating and vulcanisation of the rubber and the volume fraction of the expanded microspheres is 35-80% in the foamed rubber. The microspheres may be thermoplastic microspheres filled with a volatile liquid. The microspheres may have an unexpanded diameter of 5 to 10 µm and an expanded diameter of between 300 µm and 1000 µm. Also disclosed is a method of manufacture of a rubber comprising the steps of: providing a rubber; incorporating additives; adding and mixing microspheres into the rubber composition; and heating the rubber to effect vulcanisation. The vulcanisation of the rubber may be delayed to allow for expansion of expandable microspheres during heating, such a delay may be achieved by adding a delayed action accelerator or a retarder to the rubber.

Title: Method and apparatus for polarization multiplexing and demultiplexing optical tributary signals
Inventor: SAUNDERS ROSS ALEXANDER
IPC: H04B10/29
Filed: 2001-03-02
Abstract: An embodiment includes a polarization beam splitter and a feedback unit, preferably having an autocorrelator, a processing unit and a polarization controller. Polarized splitter separates the lower-speed tributary signals out of the higher-speed optical signal based upon a polarization relationship (e.g., orthogonal) between the tributary signals. The feedback unit, typically an autocorrelator and a polarization adjustment device, adjusts the higher-speed signal's state of polarization based upon an autocorrelation value of one of the lower-speed tributary signals. The autocorrelation value of one of the lower-speed tributary signals is provided to the polarization adjustment device, which typically includes a processing unit and a polarization controller. The polarization adjustment device adjusts the higher-speed signal's polarization state based upon the autocorrelation extinction ratio value. Ideally, this type of adjustment feedback is performed until the autocorrelation value is maximized for optimal demultiplexing. This type of adjustment is normally performed as part of a feedback loop to track changes in the higher-speed signal's state of polarization.

Abstract: A method and system for a lead mobile asset (18) to verify that a remote mobile asset (22, 26) under the control of the lead mobile asset is following a set of command functions broadcast by the lead mobile asset in a command message. The lead (18) and remote mobile assets (22, 26) may be part of a train consist (10) equipped with a distributed power communication system. The method includes determining whether the lead mobile asset (18) has received a status reply message from the remote mobile asset (22, 26), the reply message transmitted in response to the remote mobile asset's receipt of the command message and including data indicative of at least one operational state of the remote mobile asset. A help command message may be broadcast (52) from the lead mobile asset (18) if the lead mobile asset has not received the status reply message from the remote mobile asset (22, 26). The help command message may be repeated (54) by a remote mobile asset and a help reply message may be transmitted (58) in response to the help command message from the remote mobile asset (22, 26) in communication loss. The help reply message may include data indicative of at least one operational state of the remote mobile asset (22, 26) and be repeated by another remote mobile asset (22, 26) to the lead mobile asset (18). The help reply message may be received (64) at the lead mobile asset thereby verifying that the remote mobile asset (22, 26) is following the set of command functions. A system may include control modules (35) configured to allow a distributed power communication function to be performed by one remote mobile asset (22, 24) and a help message repeater function to be performed by another remote mobile asset (22, 24). These functions may be configured as modular units so that remote mobile assets may execute the functions on a selective basis.

Title: Needle for intradermal delivery of substances having penetration limiting means
Inventor: DOWN JAMES A
IPC: A61K38/28
Filed: 2001-06-29
Abstract: The present invention provides improved methods for ID delivery of drugs and other substances to humans or animals. The methods employ small gauge needles, especially microneedles, placed in the intradermal space to deliver the substance to the intradermal space as a bolus or by infusion. It has been discovered that the placement of the needle outlet within the skin and the exposed height of the needle outlet are critical for efficacious delivery of active substances via small gauge needles to prevent leakage of the substance out of the skin and to improve absorption within the intradermal space. The pharmacokinetics of hormone drugs delivered according to the methods of the invention have been found to be very similar to the pharmacokinetics of conventional SC delivery, indicating that ID administration according to the methods of the invention is likely to produce a similar clinical result (i.e., similar efficacy) with the advantage of reduction or elimination of pain for the patient. Delivery devices which place the needle outlet at an appropriate depth in the intradermal space and control the volume and rate of fluid delivery provide accurate delivery of the substance to the desired location without leakage.
