Patent CA-2506682-A1 (CA)
Title: Hot tub overflow control system
Inventor: GAGNE DANIEL
IPC: A61H33/00
Filed: 2005-05-11
Abstract: A method for controlling water overflow in a hot tub via a ballast tank and small eductor.

Title: Pressure actuator diaphragm casing with air passages
Inventor: MAHNCKE LYNN DEAN
IPC: F15B15/10
Filed: 2004-01-21
Abstract: A control valve pressure actuator (10) of the pressure-to-close type is provided with a housing in which an upper diaphragm casing (14) thereof includes one or more air passage channels (34, 36). Each of the air passage channels facilitates circulation of air above a diaphragm (20) within the pressure actuator (10) at all times, including when the diaphragm (20) is in a fully open position. By permitting the circulation of air above the diaphragm (20) even when in a fully open position, adjacent an inside surface to the top of the upper diaphragm casing (14), there is not a tendency for the diaphragm (20), biased toward the open position by springs (26), to stick to the inside surface of the top of the upper diaphragm casing (14).

Filed: 1992-05-15
Abstract: Portable computers of the type commonly referred to as "laptop" computers and "notebook" computers are becoming very popular. They typically include a housing with a lid which is movable between open and closed positions, a display which is mounted on the lid, and a keyboard which is mounted on the housing beneath the lid, the keyboard and display being exposed when the lid is in the open position and being hidden and protected when the lid is in the closed position. These systems also include a battery which serves as a source of power. If a user inadvertently closes the lid without remembering to turn off the power, the system can continue to operate and will run down the battery. A portable computer system includes housing, a lid supported on the housing for movement between open and closed positions, a keyboard supported on the housing below the lid, and a display provided on the lid. When the lid is opened, the keyboard is accessible and the display is visible, whereas when the lid is closed the keyboard and display are hidden and protected. The computer system includes a processor disposed within the housing and having a first operational mode in which it executes instructions and a second operational mode in which it is in a reduced power suspend state from which it can automatically exit in response to a predetermined condition. The system includes an arrangement responsive to closing of the lid when the processor is in its first operational state for switching the processor to its second operational state.

Title: Method and apparatus for an oval carbonator
Inventor: ROMANYSZYN ADRIAN M
IPC: A23L2/54
Filed: 2005-02-10
Abstract: A method and corresponding apparatus for an oval carbonator employ an oblong housing to provide an improved gas/water interaction area within the confines of the carbonator. The increased cross sectional area provides a larger water surface area, whereby an increased amount of the pressurized gas is exposed to the increased surface area. Further advantages of the oval carbonator include a simplification of the tubing bundles that are cast into the cold plate. The oval carbonator consolidates the volumes previously used by the carbonator, thereby allowing the tubing bundles to be consolidated. Consolidation of this type translates into reduced manufacturing time and increased savings due to the simplified design.
