Patent CA-2466752-C (CA)
Inventor: BARTON JOHN C
IPC: A23G9/28
Filed: 2001-11-13
Granted: 2011-05-24
Abstract: L'invention concerne un distributeur de boissons/glaçons automatique, sans contact, à fibre optique (10), qui distribue des glaçons et/ou des boissons dans un gobelet/récipient (26), sans que l'usager ou le gobelet/récipient ne touche une partie de la machine, pour un remplissage hygiénique et sans effort des produits. Un grand nombre de produits peut être distribué par des tuyères de distribution (16, 18), pour n'importe quel volume désiré, ce qui permet le mélange des produits et la personnalisation des boissons selon les goûts de l'usager. La distribution automatique sans contact permet de saisir le gobelet/récipient de la façon normale à laquelle les gens sont habitués. Un voyant lumineux (15) de remplissage s'allume pendant le remplissage automatique. Un selecteur de mode "marche/arrêt" (14) empêche une distribution de produits non autorisée, et permet un nettoyage rapide et facile de la machine. On obtient donc un distributeur de boissons/glaçons sans contact, hygiénique, convivial, commercialement durable, qui ne constitue pas un vecteur de transmission de microbes ou de maladies d'une personne à une autre, même pendant le regarnissage.

Title: Improved frozen dessert product
Inventor: LADD DAVID
IPC: A23G9/44
Filed: 2004-05-17
Granted: 2010-10-26
Abstract: The present invention is directed to formulations of the premix utilized in the production of a pellet structured frozen dessert type product. The pelletized frozen dessert product is manufactured by introducing the liquid premix into a body of a cryogen such as liquid nitrogen such that the small volume of liquid premix is frozen rapidly. The invention elevates the melting temperature as well as the fusing temperature of the finished pellets such that the storage and serving temperatures of the pellets are similar to the bulk products. The invention utilizes the basic formulas and names and flavors associated with bulk type frozen desserts such as Ice Cream, Sorbet, Water ice, Ice Milk, Frozen Yogurt and similar type products. The pellet produced utilizing the pre-mix is structurally stable at normal retail and home freezer situations. The formulation and manufacture of the pelletized dessert product is substantially different from bulk frozen desserts: it is in itself a unique type product. The result of this invention is a product that maintains the desired individuality of the pellets while maintaining structure, such that fusing is inhibited at the storage and serving temperature.

Abstract: A low carryover fitting assembly for coupling tubing to a device having a sealing surface is presented. The fitting includes a ferrule having a conical head for seating against the sealing surface. The ferrule has a conical tail. The ferrule has an axial passage that is substantially equal in diameter to the inside diameter of the tubing. The fitting includes a sleeve having a ramped inner surface that is greater in inside diameter towards the forward end of the sleeve and smaller in inside towards a rearward end of the sleeve. The fitting also includes a coupler, such as a coupling nut. The coupler has a front surface that engages the head of the ferrule to push the head against the sealing surface. The nut has an inner ramp or shoulder that engages the sleeve to urge the sleeve towards the head of the ferrule when the coupling is tightened. The tubing is compressed between the tail of the ferrule and the tapered section of the sleeve. The tubing is compressed so that it flows to a region between the tail and the ramped inner surface.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un outil de dérivation (10) à introduire dans un train de forage (11), qui peut être commuté entre un mode inactif, dans lequel il permet à un fluide de s'écouler le long du train de forage lors d'une opération de forage normale, et un mode de dérivation active, lorsque le forage doit être interrompu. Cet outil comprend un boîtier externe (20), une gaine (12), qui peut se déplacer en direction axiale à l'intérieur du boîtier (20) et un siège de soupape (14), qui est associé à la gaine (12) et est conçu pour recevoir une bille d'activation (15). Lorsque cette bille d'activation est lancée de la surface jusqu'à la partie inférieure du train de forage, le siège de soupape (14) déplace la gaine (12) en direction axiale, ce qui fait passer l'outil du mode inactif au mode de dérivation active. Ledit outil comprend également un système de port de dérivation (16) situé dans le boîtier (20) et conçu pour être obturé par la gaine (12) lorsque l'outil se trouve en mode inactif et pour être dégagé afin de communiquer avec l'intérieur du train de forage lorsque l'outil se trouve en mode actif. Ce système de port de dérivation (16) est placé au-dessus du siège de soupape (14) de façon à permettre à une bille de blocage (17) (lorsqu'elle est lancée de la surface une fois que le siège de soupape (14) a reçu la bille d'activation (15)) de bloquer partiellement le système de port (16) et ainsi d'amorcer l'évacuation de tout débris de fluide de train de forage au-dessus du siège de soupape (14) par l'intermédiaire du système de port (16).

Abstract: It has been surprisingly discovered that administration of nitrite to subjects causes a reduction in blood pressure and an increase in blood flow to tissues. The effect is particularly beneficial, for example, to tissues in regions of low oxygen tension. This discovery provides useful treatments to regulate a subject~s blood pressure and blood flow, for example, by the administration of nitrite salts. Provided herein are methods of administering a pharmaceutically-acceptable nitrite salt to a subject, for treating, preventing or ameliorating a condition selected from : (a) ischemia-reperfusion injury (e.g., hepatic or cardiac or brain ischemia-reperfusion injury); (b) pulmonary hypertension (e.g., neonatal pulmonary hypertension); or (c) cerebral artery vasospasm.

Title: Locking arrangement
Inventor: HAUTALA PEKKA
IPC: E05B15/02
Filed: 2004-09-23
Granted: 2011-11-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to a locking arrangement by means of which two parts can be locked to each other, such as locking a door to its frame construction. The locking arrangement comprises a first locking element fastened to the lock unit, a second locking element fastened to the counter part and an acting element being preferably a part of the lock unit. The first and second locking elements are gripping brackets, forming a hooked grip with each other when the lock unit and the counter part are against each other, when, for example, the door is locked in its opening. The gripping brackets are essentially in the direction of the movement of the door. The task of the acting element is to keep the gripping brackets in an overlapping position when the locking arrangement is locked. The position of the acting can be changed, and the current state of the locking arrangement depends on the position.
