Patent CA-2423270-C (CA)
Inventor: ORECK DAVID I
IPC: A47L9/00

Granted: 2008-03-25
Abstract: Fragrance delivery apparatus and methods for use in combination with a floor care device are shown and described. In one embodiment, the fragrance delivery apparatus (132) incorporates a mass (136) that can be impregnated with a heat sensitive, fragrant substance. The fragrant substance is substantially stable at ambient temperature, but is freely released from the mass at an elevated temperature. The mass is coupled to a housing (28) on a floor care device (20) at a location that becomes warm during operation. As a result, when the floor care device (20) is operated, the fragrance delivery apparatus (132) becomes warm, and the fragrant substance is released into the nearby environment. When the floor care device (20) is stored, however, the fragrant substance is not released from the mass in significant amounts.

Title: Method and apparatus for initiating welding arc using plasma jet
Inventor: MATUS TIM A
IPC: B23K9/067
Filed: 2003-12-31
Granted: 2008-04-29
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for initiating a welding arc by directing a plasma jet into the space between the tip of the welding electrode and the workpiece. This is done while an electrical potential is applied between the electrode and the workpiece. The ionized plasma gas renders the space between the electrode and the workpiece more conductive, thereby reducing the voltage threshold needed to initiate an arc between the electrode and the workpiece. When the voltage threshold reaches the level of the applied electrical potential, the arc will be initiated.

Abstract: A split runner for a Francis turbine has runner segments that are adapted to be joined together along confronting surface portions thereof to form a composite runner having a crown, a band and a plurality of blades extending between the crown and the band. The confronting surface portions of the runner segments are located only along portions of the crown and portions of the band, and the confronting surface portions of the runner segments are located in between and spaced from adjacent blades of the composite runner. Since the confronting surface portions are located only along portions of the crown and portions of the band, none of the blades are split eliminating the need to weld together blades during formation of the composite runner. Accordingly, the composite runner does not have weld joints formed in the blades which are highly stressed operating parts of the runner.

Abstract: An engine includes a crankshaft having a crank throw, the crankshaft rotating about a crankshaft axis. A compression piston is slidably received within a compression cylinder and operatively connected to the crankshaft such that the compression piston reciprocates through an intake stroke and a compression stroke of a four stroke cycle during a single rotation of the crankshaft. An expansion piston is slidably received within an expansion cylinder. A  connecting rod is pivotally connected to the expansion piston. A mechanical linkage rotationally connects the crank throw to the connecting rod about a connecting rod/crank throw axis such that the expansion piston reciprocates through an expansion stroke and an exhaust stroke of the four stroke cycle during the same rotation of the crankshaft. A path is established by the mechanical linkage which the connecting rod/crank throw axis travels around the crankshaft axis. The distance between the connecting rod/crank throw axis and crankshaft axis at any point in the path defines an effective crank throw radius. The path includes a first transition region from a first effective crank throw radius to a second effective crank throw radius through which the connecting rod/crank throw axis passes during at least a portion of a combustion event in the expansion cylinder.
