Abstract: A multi-point lock assembly includes a pair of spaced apart latching members for locking sliding doors, windows or other similar structures.  The lock assembly includes a housing rotationally supporting a pair of actuators provided with a plurality of gears arranged in meshed engagement with one another. Rotation of one actuator causes rotation of both actuators in opposite directions, that is, one clockwise and one counterclockwise.

The distal end of each arm assembly is guided by a pin received within a track provided in the sidewalls of the housing. The latching members are formed as threaded bolts received within the distal end of each arm assembly. As the actuators are rotated, the distal end of the long and short arm assemblies track along the track within the sidewalls. The shape of the track causes each of the bolts to be displaced vertically and longitudinally along the longitudinal axis of the housing from an unlatched position within the housing to a latched position extending outwardly therefrom. The bolts are adjustable by vary their threaded engagement within the distal ends of the arm assemblies for alignment with the opposing keeper.
Patent CA-2764913-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TARTAKOVSKY BORIS
IPC: C12P1/00
Filed: 2010-06-22
Abstract: A method of producing in a bioreactor a biogas rich in methane involves electrolyzing water in an aqueous medium at a voltage in a range of from 1.8 V to 12 V in the presence of electrochemically active anaerobic microorganisms that biocatalyze production of hydrogen gas, and, contacting a species of hydrogenotrophic methanogenic microorganisms with the hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide to produce methane. Volumetric power consumption is in a range of from 0.03 Wh/L R to 0.3 Wh/L R. Current density is 0.01 A/cm E2 or lower. The voltage is sufficient to electrolyze water without destroying microbial growth. Such a method results in improved electrolysis efficiency while avoiding the use of noble metal catalysts. Further, a combination of water electrolysis with anaerobic degradation of organic matter results in increased biogas quality and in increased biogas quantity and yield. Oxidation of hydrogen sulfide contributes to the increased quality, while an increase in the rate of organic matter hydrolysis and an increase in the production of methane from hydrogen contributes to the increased quantity and yield.
