Abstract: A method and a positioning door jig for selecting a suitable coating door jig is disclosed. A coating door jig is temporarily connected between a door opening at a side of a vehicle body to be coated and a slide door so as to enable forward and rearward movement of the slide door. The coating door jig forms a constrained linkage for guiding the slide door along a predetermined locus. The coating door jig is selected depending on a kind of automobile to be coated by the use of a positioning door jig. The positioning door jig forms a non-constrained linkage comprising mechanismic elements same as those of the constrained linkage and another additional mechanismic element. After temporarily connecting the positioning door jig between the slide door and the door opening, the kinematic pair position connecting the additional mechanismic element and one of the said mechanismic elements is adjusted so as to specify relative positions of the respective mechanismic elements. The suitable coating door jig is selected based on the specified relative positions of the mechanismic elements.

Granted: 2004-05-18
Abstract: An infant care apparatus such as an incubator or infant warmer having a mattress for supporting the infant on an infant platform that can, at times, by fully rotated 360 degrees to obtain full access to the infant. In the incubator, a translation platform can be slid into and out of the infant compartment and the mattress tray is pivoted to that translation platform so as to rotate at a pivot point that connects the mattress tray to the translation platform. Accordingly, when all of the doors of the infant incubator are in the closed position, the mattress tray is constrained from rotational movement but that mattress tray can be rotated a full 360 degrees whenever both doors are open or when the translation platform has been moved to a position at least partially exterior of the infant compartment. In all, the apparatus provides easy and convenient access to the infant for carrying out procedures on the infant while it is still supported by the infant care apparatus.

Granted: 2004-09-07
Abstract: In the biological treatment of organic matter for the purpose of producing compost, soil amendments or bio-fuel it is known that in order to ensure aerobic conditions during the entire treatment process air has to be channeled through the organics to provide for a sufficient oxygen level and to remove excess heat. It is also known that during the bio-chemical breakdown of the cell-structure of the organics moisture is released, which has to be removed to prevent parts of the organics turning into an un-aerobic process stage. The present invention provides a means to aerate organic matter and to collect and remove liquid from organic matter via a specifically designed channel. The channel contains a pipe comprising multiple orifices for air distribution or removal. The top of the channel is closed with a removable perforated cover. One or more than one channel combined to a series form an aeration system. The channels of an aeration system are integrated into the floor of a bin-type reactor and connected via pipes to a manifold outside the reactor for air distribution or removal. These pipes are also connected to the liquid collection and removal system comprised of a pipe outside the reactor, which directs collected liquid to storage or treatment tanks. Airflow in the channels, pipes and manifold is maintained by an air distribution system comprised of an exhauster/blower and regulated by means of dampers or valves. All process air is exhausted via a biologically active filter material in a bio-filter bed for odor control purposes. All liquid is collected and processed.
Patent CA-2316901-C (CA)
Inventor: JACKSON JOHN R
IPC: C25B1/16
Filed: 1998-12-17
Granted: 2004-07-13
Abstract: An electrochemical process for the production of a hydroxide solution and a sulfate by the electrolysis of a waste aqueous mixture of oxidizable sulfur impurities in the anode compartment of at least one electrolytic cell while producing a hydroxide solution in the cathode compartment of the cell. The process is particularly applicable to the treatment of spent caustic solutions obtained by scrubbing a hydrocarbon process stream contaminated with oxidizable sulfur impurities.  The electrolytic cell used in the electrolysis process of the invention can use either a porous membrane or a cationic permselective membrane to separate the anode and cathode compartments of the electrolysis cell. The electrolysis cell can be monopolar or bipolar and when bipolar, the bipolar electrodes if dissimilar, or the respective anode and cathode current collectors if dissimilar, which are attached thereto, are electrically connected by bonding with a conductive polymer or are joined by welding with or without an intermediate metal layer therebetween. Control of pH in the anolyte compartment of the electrolytic cell can be achieved by passing a selected amount of catholyte to the anolyte compartment. Pre-treatment with oxygen produced in the anolyte compartment of the cell avoids release of gaseous products from the anolyte compartment and increases process efficiency. Where the process is conducted in multiple electrolytic cells, such cells are hydraulically connected in series in a cascading series.
