Patent CA-2041512-A1 (CA)
Title: Rotary atomizer cup
Inventor: DAVIS DENNIS
IPC: B05D1/04
Filed: 1991-04-30
Abstract: An atomizing bell or cup for use in a rotary atomizing apparatus includes a generally frusto-conical-shaped wall having an outer surface and an inner flow surface which terminates at an annular atomizing lip. A plurality of radially outwardly extending fins or ribs are formed on the inner flow surface of the cup upstream from the atomizing lip which are circumferentially spaced from one another to provide flow paths therebetween for coating material flowing along the interior surface of the cup such that the coating material is divided into a number of individual streams before reaching the atomizing lip.      These streams are emitted from between adjacent ribs a short distance upstream from the atomizing lip which allows centrifugal force to at least partially flatten the streams forming ribbon-shaped streams, which, when flung outwardly from the atomizing lip, form completely atomized coating particles which are substantially free of air bubbles.

Title: Automated, interactive vending system for products which must be processed
Inventor: BOSTIC STEVE
IPC: G03B27/46
Filed: 1990-03-28
Abstract: An automated, interactive system for receiving, storing, processing, retrieving and dispensing film, still video camera diskettes, or other products which must be processed. The system includes an unmanned, automated and computerized apparatus analogous to an automatic teller machine (ATM). Instructions presented on an interactive video display prompt a patron to enter identification information and data concerning the type of photoprocessing desired.  The information entered is stored on a floppy computer disc or transmitted electronically to a remote processing facility via a telephone link and used to track the order as it is processed at a remote location. The telephone link also allows the patron to speak directly with a customer service representative at the processing facility and the representative to operate the apparatus remotely if necessary. The finished prints are returned to the apparatus and stored in a compartmentalized storage unit while awaiting pick-up by the customer. A random access retrieval mechanism included in the apparatus allows packages of processed prints to be stored in any empty compartments of the storage unit. An alternative embodiment of the present invention integrates an unmanned, automated film processing system with the apparatus described above, eliminating all human handling of the film once it is deposited by the patron. The self-contained, automated system of this embodiment accepts the film products and information concerning the customer and the order, opens the film cartridge, processes the negatives (or transmits information concerning a still video camera diskette to appropriate optics) and prints, cuts and packages the processed products, determines the fee for the processing and returns the package to the storage unit.

Title: Vacuum generation in the pocket of a single wire dryer group
Inventor: HEINZMANN HELMUT
IPC: F26B13/08
Filed: 1991-10-18
Abstract: F-9167 (14-226) VACUUM GENERATION IN THE POCKETS OF A SINGLE-WIRE DRYER GROUP            ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE          In a single wire dryer group, a paper web travels on one side of a support belt over a first dryer cylinder, then over a guide roll, then over a second dryer cylinder moving through the dryer group.  A pocket is defined between the two adjacent dryer cylinders and the guide roll between them.  To develop a vacuum within the pocket in the vicinity of the outer surface of the first dryer cylinder, there is a sealing ledge at the support belt at the first dryer cylinder.  The sealing ledge is fastened to a sealing ledge support.  An air guide surface on the side of the sealing ledge support away from the pocket is curved first in a direction toward the bottom of the pocket and then away from the pocket around axes above the air guide surface.  Toward the second cylinder, the sealing ledge support defines an air ejector nozzle.  A first air flow induced on the first dryer cylinder is deflected upward around and past the ejector nozzle by the curvature of the air guide surface.  A second air flow traveling along the support belt past the second dryer cylinder is induced to pass through and exits through the nozzle.  The first and second air flows are then combined at the outlet from the ejector nozzle.

Patent CA-2057411-A1 (CA)
Title: High temperature ceramic composites
Inventor: MORGAN PETER E D
IPC: C04B35/443
Filed: 1991-12-11
Abstract: Thermodynamically stable ceramic composites are provided for use in high temperature oxidizing environments. The composites comprise high strength alumina fibers (Al2O3) in a ceramic matrix. The ceramic matrix comprises material similar to the fibers to improve compatibility of the composite materials. A material selected from the .beta.-alumina and magnetoplumbite family of materials is used to provide a weakly bonded interface between the fibers and the ceramic matrix. .beta.-aluminas and magnetoplumbites have weak layers as an intrinsic characteristic of their crystal structure, which comprises spinet layers (basically Al2O3) separated by very weakly bonded planes containing the .beta.-forming ions. The weak planes of these materials allow preferential debonding and sliding, and thus inhibit crack growth across the interface between the fibers and the ceramic matrix. The alumina fibers can be coated with .beta.-alumina by any of several methods such as heat treating the fibers in an atmosphere containing the desired .beta.-forming ions. Composite structures can be fabricated by placing the coated fibers in powdered matrix material and hot pressing. .beta.-alumina can also be formed in situ within a preformed composite by providing the .beta.-forming ions in a compound that is phase compatible with the ceramic matrix material and then heat treating the composite to form .beta.-alumina at the fiber-matrix interface.

Title: Variable displacement and variable compression ratio engine
Inventor: SCHECHTER MICHAEL M
IPC: F02B75/04
Filed: 1992-05-13
Abstract: Abstract The present invention contemplates a mechan-ically simply constructed mechanism located internally of a piston engine for adjustably changing the stroke of a piston over a predetermined range in response to a variety of operating control parameters.  The ad-justable stroke changing mechanism provides an optimum compression ratio at each change in piston stroke and over the entire range of piston stroke provided which may be varied from one piston engine to another of different performance characteristics without requir-ing a major change in design of the stroke changing mechanism.  The stroke changing mechanism includes a swing plate pivotally fixed to the engine block at one end and placed intermediate the piston connection rod and respective crankshaft pin at its other end, each of which are affixed to and translate within the swing plate as the piston is driven to reciprocate within a piston cylinder.  An adjustment link is pivotally connected to the engine block at one end and to the connecting rod at its other end and at the swing plate.  The adjustment link is hydraulically con-trolled and actuable to vary in length and thereby change the stroke, and concurrently the compression ratio of the piston.

Title: Optical coupler/splitter with a filter
Inventor: YANAGAWA HISAHARU
IPC: G02B6/122
Filed: 1992-06-02
Abstract: An optical coupler/splitter having an optical waveguide on the side of light incidence, two optical waveguides on the branched side, branched from the former optical waveguide and each having straight and curved sections, and a dielectric multi-layer film filter provided in a manner crossing the latter waveguides and common to them. The filter is so formed as to intersect with a straight section of one waveguide and with a curved section of the other, so that respective crossing angles between the filter and the branched optical waveguides differ from each other, thereby providing different reflection or transmission characteristics with respect to the branched optical waveguides. An optical signal having a variable wavelength and issued from a measuring apparatus based on the backscattering method is distinguished by the common filter of the coupler/splitter, making it possible to perform measurement of the losses of the branched optical waveguides independently without being affected by interference light. There is no need to provide a plurality of filters having different characteristics, and thus the coupler/splitter has a simplified structure and excellent productivity.

Title: Flume distribution system with removable block
Inventor: BROWN MARVIN A
IPC: B01D29/62
Filed: 1992-07-13
Abstract: FLUME DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM WITH REMOVABLE BLOCK                 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE         A   flume   distribution   system   includes distributor  having  a  stationary  lower  portion  and  a removable upper portion. The lower portion defines a duct which is in fluid communication with a flume and at least one underdrain lateral.   The lower portion also includes an apertured end wall which abuts one of the underdrain laterals at a lateral inlet,  and a stop is disposed within the duct and spaced from the end wall. The duct receives a removable  orifice plate which is adapted  to  pivot  between  a  slant  inactive  position abutting  the  stop  and  an  upright  active  position restricting  the  aperture  in  the  end  wall.    During backwash operations, water is introduced to the flume and enters each duct in the lower portion of the distributor, and the pressure of the incoming water causes the orifice plate to pivot from the slant position to the upright position,  reducing  the  cross-sectional  area  of  the aperture  in the  end wall  and  thereby  regulating  the velocity of backwash flow from the flume into the lateral inlet.  The orifice plate is held in place by a pressure differential  across the plate,  but  it returns  to the slant  inactive  position  during  filtration  when  flow through the system is reversed.  The upper portion of the distributor may be removed as needed to place different sized  orifice  plates  within  the  ducts  for  obtaining uniform backwash distribution.

Title: Lipopolysaccharide binding opsonin and methods of use thereof
Inventor: WRIGHT SAMUEL D
IPC: A61P31/04
Filed: 1991-02-01
Abstract: An opsonin is disclosed which has been isolated from human serum and which is present at high levels in normal serum in distinction to the acute phase protein LBP. The opsonin comprises a protein in purified form that is capable of binding to lipopolysaccharide to form a complex that is recognized by a receptor on monocytes, macrophage cells and polymorphonuclear cells, and that possesses an apparent molecular weight of about 90 kD as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis. The opsonin has been further characterized and appears to be a complex of a protease and a substrate for such protease. The substrate appears to possess some structural similarity to protein C inhibitor, and the opsonin is believed to be derived from a protease cascade leading to its availability for interaction with LPS. Diagnostic and therapeutic utilities are proposed, and testing procedures, materials in kit form, recombinant materials and procedures, and pharmaceutical compositions are likewise set forth.

Title: Fastener applicator
Inventor: BURLINGTON GEOFFREY M
IPC: B25D11/06
Filed: 1992-12-10
Abstract: ABSTRACT                      FASTENER APPLICATOR        A fastener applicator, for example for cable clips, uses the kinetic energy of a flywheel rotated by a prime mover, preferably a battery driven electric motor, to drive a striker for firing a fastener into a support.  An actuator which strikes the striker may be a fixed projection on the flywheel or be an element on the flywheel movable relative to the flywheel by centrifugal force to project the actuator from an inoperative position to an operative position for striking the striker.  The drive from the prime mover to the flywheel is through a clutch or releasable drive coupling which temporarily disconnects the drive when the actuator strikes the striker so that the kinetic energy at the flywheel alone drives the striker and the prime mover is protected from the impact.  A micro-processor measures the rotational speed of the flywheel and stops the prime mover when a pre-determined speed for the necessary kinetic energy is achieved.
