Title: Thermal apparatus and process for removing contaminants from oil
Inventor: WHEELER CHARLIE
IPC: C10G9/18
Filed: 1996-09-27
Granted: 2006-11-14
Abstract: Used oil is treated in a thermal reactor to remove contaminants. The reactor comprises a rotating hollow vessel having side and end walls. The vessel is housed within a heating chamber. The inside chamber of the vessel is indirectly heated by conduction through the vessel walls. The vessel chamber is sealed and maintained at sub-atmospheric pressure. The chamber contains a permanently resident charge of non-ablating, coarse granular solids. Within the chamber, the oil is vaporized and pyrolysed, producing hydrocarbon vapour. Coke is formed as a byproduct. Contaminants, such as metals and halides, become associated with the coke. The coarse granular solids scour and comminute the coke to form fine solids. The fine solids are separated from the coarse solids and are removed from the vessel through an end wall. The hydrocarbon vapours are separated from any fine solids and are routed to a vapour condensation system for producing a substantially contaminant- free product oil. The contaminant-rich solids are collected for disposal.

Abstract: A program guide information data structure and processing system facilitates both decoding and selectable program guide generation by a decoder. A decoder acquires a directory of object files associated with program guide information items and a map for associating the object files (e.g. representing channel, program or control information or software) with the program guide information items. The decoder creates an image object from an object file and links the image object to a program guide information item. The decoder executes an application software object to form a special program guide for display and executes another application software object to command a device in processing a program listed in a program guide.

Abstract: Provided are an image display apparatus and method capable of visually improving a sense of contrast by adjusting contrast and a light source to have correlation.      A characteristics detection part 11 detects MAX, MIN, and APL of an input signal. A control data generation part 12 calculates Gain for amplifying a difference between MAX and MIN to a width of a dynamic range and Offset indicating the DC level to be shifted so that the input video signal amplified by Gain falls with in the output dynamic range of a DC level adjustment part 13B. A signal amplitude adjustment part 13A amplifies the input video signal with reference to APL and in accordance with Gain. The DC level adjustment part 13B shifts the DC level of the amplified input video signal in accordance with a value of Offset. A light source control part 16 controls a light source 18 so that a visual brightness level on a screen is equal to a brightness level of the input video signal.

Patent CA-2344830-C (CA)
Inventor: DUTTON ROBERT E
IPC: G01F1/74
Filed: 1999-09-09
Granted: 2003-12-02
Abstract: A Coriolis flowmeter (5) is operable as a vibrating tube densitometer where a flow tube (103A-103B) is driven to vibrate at a fundamental frequency from which density of the material flowing through the flow tube (103A-103B) may be calculated. The drive gain is monitored as an indicator of multiphase flow including gas and liquid components where a substantial increase in drive gain indicates gas damping of the flowtube vibrations due to a transient bubble entering the flowtube. The gas damping effects of the transient bubble and the correspondingly reduced density readings are remediated by the use of historical density measurements corresponding to periods of flow when no transient bubble has entered the flowtube.

Title: Anchor
Inventor: K MURA ADOLFO TSUYOSHI
IPC: B63B21/26
Filed: 1999-11-03
Granted: 2006-07-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to an anchor which may be buried in the seabed by means of the actual mooring line. One embodiment of such an anchor (25) comprises a fluke (1) which has rear eyes (3, 3A), front eyes (2A, 2B) and auxiliary eyes (4A, 4B). Rear mooring cables (9A, 9B) are connected to the rear eyes (3A, 3B) and front mooring cables (8A, 8B) are connected to rear connection points (17A, 17B) located on the front eyes (2A, 2B). Front installation cables (7A, 7B), which are shorter than the front mooring cables (8A, 8B), are connected to front connection points (16A, 16B) on the front eyes (2A, 2B). The remaining ends of these cables are connected to a connection plate (5), forming the anchor bobstay, and a mooring line is connected to the top of this connection plate (5). As the front installation cables (7A, 7B) are shorter than the rear mooring cables (9A, 9B), the bobstay is configured with the desired angle of attack for the burial of the anchor (25). In order that the front mooring cables (8A, 8 B) do not slacken, use is made of auxiliary cables (10A, 10B) to stretch them out. When the anchor has been buried, a movement of the mooring line (6) in the opposite direction from the burial direction will cause the ends of the front installation cables (7A, 7B) to break auxiliary clamps (11A, 11B) which exist at front connection points (16A, 16B), thereby releasing these ends and, consequently, making it possib le for the front mooring lines (8A, 8B) to be stretched out, so as to place the anchor in its operating position.

Abstract: A bumper system for an automotive vehicle includes several piston rods, which are connected to a bumper beam at several joints, from one side, and each is connected to a piston from the other side. Each piston is fitted in a cylindrical bore to retain a certain amount of compressed gas and is movable along a straight line from an extended to a reacted position. Pistons are provided with locking mechanisms that allow them to move in one direction only; from the extended to the retracted positions. A  temperature control system is provided to maintain the gas temperature within a curtain range. The vehicle travels while the pistons are in the extended position. An impact on the bumper beam causes the pistons to move inside the cylindrical bores, increasing the gas pressure up to the critical pressure value and changing the state of the gas to a liquid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for non-cutting production of a component, especially a component of a gearbox.  Said component comprises a hub (15). The hub (15) is provided with a stepped hole (15) and is produced by cold deformation in a pressing process. A hub (15) extending in a substantially radial manner with respect to the plane of a round metal blank is produced from a rotating round metal blank (1), using at least one rotating pressing cylinder (11). The invention is characterized in that the pressure cylinder (11) is advanced into the round metal blank (1) at least periodically and in sections, whereupon it is inserted therein in a radial manner from an outer position to an inner position. A material web (15) forming the stepped hole (17) and extending substantially inwards from the hub (15) is embodied on the inner periphery of the hub (15), characterized in that when the hub (15) is deformed, at least one section of an attachment (7) is arranged at a distance from the round metal blank (1). As the hub is formed (15), material from the round metal blank flows into the area between the round metal blank (1) and said section of the attachment (7).

Abstract: The invention relates to an automated speed-adaptive and patient-adaptive control scheme and system for a knee prosthesis (110). The control scheme and system utilizes sensory information measured local to the prosthesis (110) to automatically adjust stance and swing phase knee resistances to a particular wearer under a wide variety of locomotory activities. Advantageously, no patient-specific information needs to be pre-programmed into the prosthetic knee (110) by a prosthetist or the patient. The system (110) is able to adapt to various types of disturbances once the patient leaves the prosthetist's facility because it is patient-adaptive and speed-adaptive.
