Title: Improvements in and relating to valves
Inventor: WORRALL PETER WILLIAM
IPC: F16J15/20
Filed: 1993-09-14
Granted: 1996-02-22
Abstract: A valve comprises a valve seat member (15) and a movable valve member (preferably a disc (12) with at least one face coated with piezo electric material (19)) movable towards and away from the seat to close and open the valve and a sealing element made from a resilient material and attached to one of the members. The sealing element possesses an initial deformable characteristic so that initial closure of the valve causes the seating element to substantially conform to the shape of the other member and retain the so-conformed shape. The sealing element comprises first and second springs (14,15) of different resiliently formable characteristics, the second spring preferably being a ring of elastomeric material, and the first spring --after initial deformation of the sealing element -- being rigidly adhesively secured to the valve seat member. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1994-12-08
Abstract: Tri- and tetra-substituted guanidines which exhibit a high binding affinity to phencyclidine (PCP) receptors and, more preferably, low affinity to the brain sigma receptors. These guanidine derivatives act as non-competitive inhibitors of glutamate induced responses of the NMDA receptor by acting as blockers for the ion channel of the NMDA receptor-ion channel complex. These compounds thus exert neuroprotective activity and are useful in the therapeutic treatment of neuronal loss in hypoxia, hypoglycemia, brain or spinal cord ischemia, and brain or spinal chord trauma as well as being useful for the treatment of epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Down's Syndrome, Korsakoff's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.

Title: Method and apparatus for effecting gas-liquid contact
IPC: B01D53/78
Filed: 1990-12-04
Granted: 1993-04-29
Abstract: Components, usually but not exclusively gaseous components, are removed in a liquid medium from gas streams and chemically converted into an insoluble phase or physically removed. Specifically, hydrogen sulfide may be removed from gas streams by oxidation in aqueous chelated transition metal solution in a modified agitated flotation cell. A gas-liquid contact apparatus, generally a combined chemical reactor and solid product separation device, comprising such modified agitated flotation cell also is described. In order to effect efficient mass transfer and rapid reaction, gas bubbles containing hydrogen sulfide and oxygen are formed by rotating an impeller at a blade tip velocity of at least about 350 in/sec. to achieve the required shear. To assist in the reaction, a surrounding shroud has a plurality of openings, generally of aspect ratio of approximately 1, of equal diameter and arranged in uniform pattern, such as to provide a gas flow therethrough less than about 0.02 lb/min/opening in the shroud. In general, the gas velocity index is at least about 18 per second per opening, preferably at least about 24 per second per opening. Each of the openings has an area corresponding to an equivalent diameter less than about one inch.

Title: Composite gas filtering unit
IPC: B01D46/24
Filed: 1991-10-03
Granted: 1992-12-03
Abstract: A comprehensive gas filtering unit in which the preferred embodiment includes sheet(s) of flexible, coilable, permeable, carbon impregnated fabric that are spirally wound around a center structure is disclosed. Active gas filtering spacers are optionally employed between the adjacent layers of wound fabric to physically separate same, thus creating air flow channel(s). Further, the active filtering spacers promote pneumatic agitation and pressure differentials. The air path typically is shaped to varying patterns including an outward flow perpendicular to or traversing the layers of the filtering fabric; flow through the actively filtering spacers; and parallel flow along the surfaces of the filtering fabric and the actively filtering spacers, with varying combinations of these patterns repeatedly occurring throughout the gas filtering chamber. Each spacer contains one or more of a variety of types of filtering agents with spacers being employed in combination in the filtering unit, in order to effectively handle a diverse group of contaminant gases. In one embodiment a central manifold structure utilizes airflow infuser wings that facilitate attachment of the fabric. The airflow infuser wings form inlets to the filtering channels and provide structural support for the channels. The infuser wings are strategically positioned around a central air handling impeller wheel that forces air outward through the infuser wings and subsequently into the filtering channels. This direct entry of the air results in minimal resistance to the airflow.
