Patent CA-2704410-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CLARKE DARCY
IPC: A47F1/00
Filed: 2010-05-17
Abstract: The apparatus and process of the present invention provides for the automated, singulated dispensing of articles, particularly solid oral medication in predetermined quantities. The apparatus of the invention is a canister which houses a screw having a channel of a certain width and depth that corresponds to the dimensions of a particular pill type. The screw is removably mounted to a cradle and the screw and cradle combination is positioned within the canister so that it is generally parallel to the base of the canister. By virtue of being removably mounted, screws having channels of various dimensions, corresponding to a particular pill to be dispensed, can be substituted into the cradle within canister. A removable shelf is mounted to at least one interior side of the cradle and is positioned near the proximal end of the screw and cradle combination. Like the screw channel, the shelf is of a certain width that corresponds with a certain pill size. The shelf also can be easily removed and replaced to correspond with a particular pill. The screw traverses the canister and at the proximal end of the screw is an aperture in the canister. At the aperture in the canister, a singulation blade is mounted which allows for pills to be dispensed one at a time. The screw channel and shelf encase a portion of the pill. Upon rotating the screw, the pill travels along the shelf from the distal end of the canister to the proximal end of the canister, entering the aperture and exiting the canister after passing the singulation blade. A rotational driver-coupling is mounted to the proximal end of the screw, allowing for activation of the canister by engaging the screw. The present invention further describes methods of dispensing articles and methods of loading the apparatus.

Abstract: A communication device contains multiple microphones that receive acoustic signals from a user and from the background. The acoustic signals from the user are enhanced using the background acoustic signals to reduce background noise.  The enhanced signals are transmitted to an emergency network when an emergency call is made from the communication device.  The raw signals are stored in the communication device for later retrieval or are transmitted simultaneously with the enhanced signals. The enhanced signals are transmitted using a circuit-switched voice mode while the raw signals are transmitted using a packet-switched voice mode.

Abstract: A small-scale dynamic simulator for crude oil refinery desalters has a pressurized oil deviblis configured to hold a supply of crude oil and a water deviblis configured to hold a supply of wash water. At least one chemical feed pump selectively adds emulsion breaker chemicals to the desalter simulator and a low shear metering pump is configured to pump crude oil and wash water through the desalter simulator. An emulsion forming device forms a crude oil-wash water emulsion that is then re-ceived in a desalter vessel. The desalting vessel is fitted with electric grids which simulate those found in electric desalters. The emulsion is resolved within the desalter vessel with the assistance of the emulsion breaker chemicals so the wash water and crude oil form distinct phases, with substantially desalted crude oil removed from an upper portion of the desalter vessel and substantial-ly oil-free wash water removed from a bottom portion of the desalter vessel. A portion of the desalter vessel is substantially trans-parent to allow visualization of the demulsification process and at least one light source is positioned adjacent to the desalter ves-sel to aid in visualization of a rag layer formed in the desalter vessel.  A heated jacket surrounds the desalter vessel to maintain the desalter vessel at the desired temperature.
