Patent CA-2628961-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HONG KEVIN
IPC: F02B51/02
Filed: 2005-11-07
Abstract: Efficient fuel combustion catalyst delivery device and method are provided. A  fuel combustion catalyst delivery device includes a storage vessel that contains a liquid. The liquid includes one or more catalytic materials. The storage vessel is attached to a nebulizer that can convert the liquid to an aerosol to be delivered into an air intake of a combustion zone. The aerosol can accelerate fuel combustion. The storage vessel and the nebulizer are made from materials suitable to be exposed to the liquid and the aerosol. The storage vessel and the nebulizer are also suitable to be placed in proximity to the combustion zone such as an engine compartment so that the aerosol can be delivered into the air intake of the combustion zone easily and effectively. The surfaces of the delivery device exposed to the liquid or the aerosol may be made of corrosion-resistant or inert materials if the liquid is acidic. The surfaces of the delivery device exposed to the liquid or the aerosol may be also made from materials that produce substantially no contaminants into the liquid. The nebulizer may convert the liquid to an aerosol at a rate between once per second and one hundred times per second.  The nebulizer may have holes for passing the liquid where each of the holes has a size not greater than about 10 ~m. The delivery device can deliver up to 500 ml or more of liquid as aerosol over 500 hours of operation.

Title: System and process for producing expanded polystyrene (eps) beads coated with a coating composition, composition used therefor, and a concrete mixture containing same
Inventor: BURIAK MICHAEL PETER
IPC: C08J7/04
Filed: 2008-06-20
Abstract: A system and process for making Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) beads coated with a coating composition and a concrete mixture containing the coated EPS  beads are provided. The coating composition removes a restrictive gas layer on EPS beads by adhering to the beads and having a suitable porosity to allow the gas to dissipate, and thus enables a strong attraction and permanent adherence of a material, having cementitious properties, such as, for example concrete, to the EPS beads. The adherence of the material to EPS beads creates a mixture that can be pre-cast into building blocks significantly stronger and sturdier structurally than existing methods allow for. The beads are specifically made to correct size and density for the process in pre-expanders, comprising fluid bed dryers, and then treated through the spray application of the coating composition.

Patent CA-2638313-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GUTIERREZ FRANCISCO M
IPC: G01F1/10
Filed: 2008-07-28
Abstract: In fluid flow measurement applications, apparatus and associated systems, computer program products, and methods may include a positive displacement fluid flow meter having an actuator to control fluid flow through the meter, and further having two or more rotating members with substantially parallel axes that rotate in response to the actuator and to fluid flow through the meter. In various implementations, the actuator may promote and/or retard a fluid flow being measured through the meter.  In some examples, the fluid flow meter may operate as a pump to controllably increase a line pressure, controllably regulate a fluid flow rate by opposing rotation of the rotating members, substantially stop a fluid flow, and/or reverse a base fluid flow direction. In an illustrative example, the meter may operate to accurately monitor and control fluid flow (e.g., fluid pressure, velocity, and/or volume) before, during, and/or after a line break.

Abstract: A scalable intelligent power-supply system and method capable of powering a defined load for a specified period of time is disclosed and claimed. Multiple external AC and DC inputs supply power to the system if available and required. An internal DC input from a back-up energy source is on board. The back-up energy source is scalable by adding additional energy cartridges such as batteries in racks mounted within frames of the system. The AC and DC inputs (including the internal DC input) are controlled, measured, sensed, and converted by circuitry controlled by the microprocessor into multiple AC and/or DC outputs. A microprocessor manages power input to, within, and output from the system. The performance of a Lithium-ion batteries used to power an automobile can be determined on the basis individual battery packs or individual battery cells within the packs. This enables the clusters or groups of Lithium ion batteries to be used in a vehicle such that these clusters operate and function as a "gas" tank or more appropriately as an "energy" tank.

Abstract: A top-fill hummingbird feeder has a generally upstanding reservoir bottle or liquid container with a large opening at its top end that is closed and sealed by a removable top or cap. The bottom of the bottle or container has a lower bottom opening which can be screw-threaded into a central collar of a feeding basin that has a plurality of feeding ports. A tubular insert is received within the central collar and is configured to be vertically movable between a first position in which fluid is allowed to flow from the liquid container to the basin, and a second position in which fluid flow from the container to the basin is prevented.  Movement of the insert between the two positions is effected by pushing the liquid container toward the basin (the closed position) and by pulling the liquid container away from the basin (the open position) Each movement of the insert has an associated "snap" or gives positive physical feedback which the user can feel that assures the user that the desired fluid flow or fluid sealed position has been achieved.
