Title: Conversion of Depitched Tall Oil to Diesel Fuel Additive
Inventor: SOVERAN DOUGLAS W
IPC: C07C1/00
Filed: 1995-05-18
Abstract: A process is described for producing additives for diesel fuels having high cetane numbers and serving as fuel ignition improvers. In the process, a depitched tall oil feedstock is subjected to hydroprocessing by contacting the feedstock with gaseous hydrogen under hydroprocessing conditions in the presence of a hydroprocessing catalyst to obtain a product mixture. This product mixture is then separated and fractionated to obtain a hydrocarbon product boiling in the diesel fuel boiling range, this product being the high cetane number additive.

Patent CA-2156368-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KREBS ARTHUR T
IPC: B65D81/26
Filed: 1995-08-17
Abstract: An oxygen.scavenger film strip is included in various package configurations.  The film strip is discrete and therefore can be used as a strip of any suitable length or width, to cover all or part of an oxygen-sensitive article in the package.  The film strip can be used in conjunction with any suitable covering films, forming or non-forming webs, substrates, or trays; and in any suitable packaging systems such as HFFS, VFFS, VSP, modified atmosphere, thermoform/lidding, and the like.  Because the film strip is made separately from the packaging films used in the particular package, the primary packaging does not have to be compromised by modifications needed to accommodate an oxygen scavenging functionality in the packaging material. The use of a discrete film strip also offers great latitude and efficiency in the dimensions of the film strip with respect to the overall package dimensions, and the placement of the film strip with respect to the packaged article.

Patent CA-2167556-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PETTERSON TOR
IPC: A47K10/38
Filed: 1996-01-18
Abstract: A Sheet Dispenser for dispensing of flexible and foldable sheets, such as paper towels and the like from a center fed roll thereof. The Sheet Dispenser of the present invention relies upon a member, such as a plate, which may be in the form of or part of a housing for holding the roll of sheets. The plate member is provided with a lower circular dispensing aperture for receiving a leading strip of the sheets from the center fed roll such that a user may grasp and pull outwardly on the sheets in order to achieve a dispensing of the same. The invention relies upon an opening, such as an elongate slot formed in the plate member and in communication with the dispensing aperture and which allows a leading portion of the sheets to be inserted through the slot and into the dispensing aperture. This construction overcomes the previous problems of feeding a leading strip of the successive sheets in the dispensing aperture. In a preferred embodiment, the dispensing aperture, in combination with the opening, form an elongate dispensing aperture and the size of the elongate dispensing aperture is adjustable in order to accommodate different thicknesses, sizes and physical characteristics of differing sheet materials which can be dispensed.

Title: Method and apparatus for making and filling a pouch with a fitment
Inventor: CHRISTINE WILLIAM C
IPC: B65B61/18
Filed: 1994-08-18
Abstract: A pouch (26) having a fitment is formed, filled and sealed in a sterilized chamber (36). A film web (24) passes from a sterilized bath into the chamber. A drive moves the film web through the chamber where several steps occur to form the pouch. The web (24) is folded in half therein defining an upper edge at the fold with the selvage edges being positioned in close proximity to each other. After folding, the web defines a pair of parallel walls. A pocket is formed in each of the walls of the film in alignment with each other and in proximity to the selvage edge by stretching the film web. A fitment (98) is inserted between the two pockets and the walls (66) are sealed together to retain the fitment. The two walls are sealed together forming a pouch having a reservoir portion. A "U" shaped peelable seal (144) is formed between the two walls below and around the fitment. The formed pouch is then cut from the film web. The pouch with the folded upper edge is moved into a partial sterilized chamber (164) that surrounds the upper portion of the pouch. The partial chamber is connected to the sterilized forming chamber. The lower portion of the pouch depends below the chamber. The pouch is moved through the partial chamber by a mechanism located below the chamber. Within the chamber, the upper edge of the pouch is slit and the pouch is filled.   Thereafter, the pouch is sealed at the upper edge.

Title: Transport refrigeration unit and method of operation same
Inventor: HANSON JAY LOWELL
IPC: F02D29/04
Filed: 1996-02-26
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for extending engine operating time, with a given amount of fuel, of an internal combustion engine  connected  to  drive  a  compressor  of  a  transport refrigeration unit.  A fuel level signal is provided in response to the amount of fuel in a fuel tank associated with the internal combustion engine.  The operation of the transport refrigeration unit is modified in different predetermined ways at predetermined different values of the fuel level signal, as fuel is consumed, to reduce the rate at which engine fuel is used after each modification.  The time that a space being conditioned by the transport refrigeration unit for a given fuel supply is thus extended, maintaining temperature control of the conditioned space  over  this  extended  time  while  sacrificing  non-load threatening, incremental degrees of control precision.

Title: Continuous metal strip production having an alignment system
Inventor: LINSENBARDT THOMAS L
IPC: B21C25/00
Filed: 1994-08-31
Abstract: Twin metal billets (31) are fed to dual circumferential grooves (44) formed in a rotary wheel (43), and are advanced to a die (21) which has a die opening with a circumferentially discontinuous, annular cross section. The metal merges in the die opening and exits therefrom in the form of a slit tube (34, 36). The tube is advanced over a forming member (38) to form a flat strip (39). As the tube is advanced over the forming member, an alignment system (300) maintains the tube in a centred position. The alignment system includes a light source (302a, b) disposed within the tube and two arrays of photo-transistors (308) arranged to receive light from the light source, the amount of light sensed by each array being a function of the position of the slit in the tube relative to a desired position. Any difference results in a steering roll (318) in contact with the outer surface of the tube pivoting in a direction which will bring the tube back into alignment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a heretofore unknown use for a aqueous reagent composition that serves as a universal rinse for performing and/or improving a variety of hematological analyses on automated analyzers. The universal rinse reagent comprises a phosphate buffer to maintain the rinse solution pH at from about 7.0 to about 7.6; a nonhemolytic nonionic surfactant, such as a Pluronic; an alkali metal salt, such as NaCl; antimicrobial and anti-oxidant compounds; and has an osmolality of about 285 to 305 mOsmol/kg. The universal rinse reagent composition is highly suitable for use in the rinse phases or cycles of all types of blood cell analysis methods and processes performed on semi- and fully-automated systems. The invention allows the replacement of mutiple and specific rinse solutions with the disclosed universal rinse to obtain accurate and acceptable results, independent of the types of blood cell analyses that are performed. The universal rinse is most particularly useful for automated systems having intricate hardware and a number of different input and output channels. The universal rinse composition serves to economize, streamline, and simplify the design and operation of such systems.

Title: Vehicle heating appliance with cooled fuel pump
Inventor: HUMBURG MICHAEL
IPC: B60H1/22
Filed: 1994-12-27
Abstract: In a vehicle heating appliance, a burner is supplied with combustion air by a combustion air fan and with fuel by a fuel dosing pump. The heat generated by the burner is a combustion chamber is absorbed by a liquid or gaseous heat transfer medium through a heat exchanger that surrounds the combustion chamber and is transferred to the areas to be heated. In order to avoid malfunctions of the fuel dosing pump caused by steam bubbles produced by overheating, the fuel dosing pump must be kept cool. To ensure an efficient cooling of the fuel dosing pump, the fuel dosing pump is mounted in a compact manner in a suction channel (8) of the combustion air fan (1). When the vehicle heating appliance is in operation, combustion air flows past the outer surface of the fuel dosing pump (14) and cools the pump before being led to the inlet side of the combustion air fan (1, 4).
