Patent CA-2424550-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VO THUAN QUANG
IPC: B60R22/28
Filed: 2003-04-08
Abstract: The vehicle seat belt gripping with energy absorbing device, or The VES, is a safety device attached to a vehicle along a vertical portion of the seat belt to restrain the seat belt and prevent vehicle occupants from being thrown forward to vehicular frontal components during crash situations. The VES includes a housing, a seat belt gripping wall, and a seat belt gripping assembly. When activated as the vehicle abruptly decelerates upon occurrence of a collision, the gripping assembly of the VES moves to engage with the seat belt and grips it with an increasing holding force, allowing the seat belt to slowly maw an additional distance before putting an end to the forward movement. As a result, the seat belt protracting speed is greatly reduced, and vehicle occupants are protected from smashing violently onto airbag, dashboard, or steering wheel during vehicle crash situations.

Title: Surgical sealing apparatus
Inventor: SMITH ROBERT C
IPC: A61B17/34
Filed: 2001-10-31
Abstract: A sealing apparatus is disclosed that includes a housing that is mountable to an elongate shaft which includes an axial lumen. A sealing member defines a cavity and has at least a portion thereof disposed within the housing. The cavity is spherically oveable relative to the elongate shaft. The housing may define a passageway communicating with the cavity and the axial lumen. An inner surface of the housing can define at least a portion of a pathway configured for movement of the sealing member. The sealing member may include an end portion defining a moveable limit within the pathway. The sealing member may be fixedly mounted to a portion of the housing such that the cavity and the portion of the housing are correspondingly spherically moveable relative the elongate shaft. A sealing element having at least a portion disposed within the housing may moveably support the sealing member. The sealing element may cooperate with an inner surface of the housing to define at least a portion of the pathway. The sealing element may include a resilient portion configured to bias the sealing member relative to a longitudinal axis of the elongate shaft. The sealing member can be biased to a centered position relative to the longitudinal axis and in substantially coaxial alignment therewith. In an alternate embodiment, the sealing member is mounted to the housing and the housing may be configured for substantially spherical movement relative to the elongate shaft and/or substantially lateral movement relative to the longitudinal axis of the elongate shaft.

Abstract: A method and a system for treating organic waste in which durability and stability of treatment are enhanced while reducing residue extremely.  Substance in a solid phase decomposing section is transported to a liquid phase decomposing section I and decomposed by land microorganisms at a solid phase decomposing section III. Accumulated high-viscosity products are transported to the liquid phase decomposing section I and dissolved into water before being converted into sludge by microorganisms in the water. Organic waste charged anew is cleaned at the liquid phase decomposing section I and transported to the solid phase decomposing section III together with generated sludge before being decomposed again by land microorganisms. A solid-liquid substance circulator II having double spiral structure is employed for transporting the substance in the solid phase decomposing section to the liquid phase decomposing section I and for transporting the organic waste to the solid phase decomposing section III. Furthermore, at a dehumidifying section IV, water content is separated from gas generated at the solid phase decomposing section III and returned to the liquid phase decomposing section.  Finally, a minimum necessary volume of gas is fed to a deodorizing section V  and exhausted as deodorized ordinary air.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automated processing method for fish and to an installation for preparing and processing fish. The invention also relates to a conveying element for linking a central feed device to a processing machine for processing fish. Prior art installations exist in which a number of machines are combined in an installation, whereby the individual machines are supplied with fish via a central feed belt. The fish are guided to the individual machines by the feed belt and are fed to a storage basin. Inside this storage basin, the fish are not orderly arranged and have to be separated and aligned again. This requires, however, operating personnel located at each machine of an installation in order to enable a parallel loading of the machines. According to the invention, in which the feed device has, in the area of each processing machine provided for processing the fish, means for transferring the fish from the feed device to each processing machine, whereby the transferring means are designed so that the fish automatically reach the respective entry position of the processing machine, a separation and alignment at each processing machine effected by operating personnel can be eliminated.

IPC: C10G11/05
Filed: 2002-10-09
Abstract: A fluid catalytic cracking catalyst made from microspheres that initially contain kaolin, a dispersible boehmite alumina and a sodium silicate or silica sol binder. The kaolin portion contains hydrous kaolin and optionally spinel, or mullite, or both spinel and mullite made via kaolin which has been clacined through its characteristic exotherm. Calcination of the hydrous clay to metakaolin and formation of in-situ zeolite by treatment with sodium silicate yields a catalyst containing Y-faujasite and transforms the dispersible boehmite into a transitional alumina. The catalyst can be used to crack resid or resid-containing feeds as the alumina phase formed from the dispersible boehmite passivates nickel and vanadium contaminants.

Abstract: L'invention concerne entre autres des systèmes, dispositifs et procédés faisant appel à l'énergie de surface pour favoriser le transport ou la séparation de fluides. Un de ces procédés consiste à retirer du mucus situé dans les poumons d'un sujet soumis à une ventilation mécanique au moyen d'un tube trachéal (100). Au moins un orifice d'admission de fluide à effet de mèche (136A, 136B) est disposé de manière plus distale qu'un dispositif d'étanchéité (110) entre le tube trachéal et la trachée. L'énergie de surface favorise l'introduction de mucus dans cet orifice. Une pompe péristaltique ou une autre pompe (132) est utilisée pour retirer du sujet une colonne sensiblement contiguë de liquide admis par effet de mèche. La ventilation du sujet n'est pas perturbée par le retrait de mucus. Une aération de sécurité permet de réduire ou d'éviter l'endommagement des tissus fermant l'orifice. D'autres structures peuvent favoriser le guidage du mucus vers cet orifice. Parmi les différents exemples illustratifs figurent des tubes trachéaux à lumière unique, des tubes trachéaux à lumière double, des tubes trachéaux en deux pièces (comprenant des cannules externe et interne) ainsi que des bloqueurs bronchiques. L'invention concerne en outre plusieurs autres applications telles que la séparation huile/eau, le transport d'un lubrifiant vers une pointe de foret, et la séparation et/ou solidification de déchets.
