Patent CA-2575111-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ODOM JOSEPH
IPC: A61N1/18
Filed: 2005-07-18
Abstract: A wearable device for transmitting the resonant frequency of a solution to a biological system with the purpose of having a positive health influence on the biological system. Electrodes capable of conducting a small electrical current are placed in contact with the skin of an animal or human. These electrodes are connected to wires with an inline diode. A current results from the difference in electric potential of the two distal points on the skin, rectified into DC by the diode. Each wire is connected to one of two conducting leads. The leads are separated and submerged in a solution which has conducting properties. The current is modulated by the substance in solution and transmits this modulated current to the electrodes where the electromagnetic signature is transferred to the body. Thus by changing the substance in the solution the energy sensed by the body will differ. Careful and correct choice of the substance in solution will have positive influence on the health of the biological system. The preferred embodiment for the device is a necklace, bracelet, anklet or dermal patch.

Inventor: YANO TETSUNORI
IPC: B24C9/00
Filed: 2007-03-14
Abstract: The present invention provides a blasting medium picking-apart device for loosening and picking apart clumps of aggregated blasting medium which into pieces.  According to the picking-apart device of the present invention, a rotation of the blades and the shearing plate driven by the blade turning motor produces a shear force between the rotating blade and the shearing plate, and by the shear force, the aggregated blasting medium which fall into the upper hopper are roughly smashed. The roughly smashed clumps of the blasting medium fall through a lower opening of the upper hopper onto the rotating disc, where the blasting medium are delivered to the outer peripheral part of the disc by the centrifugal force of the disc. There, the aggregated blasting medium are finely separated by a shear force applied from the rotating shearing plate, and are pushed into a narrow gap between disc and an annular flange at the lower opening of the upper hopper, to be loosened so that aggregated blasting medium are picked apart into pieces of each blasting medium to have its original size.

Title: Catalyst treatment useful for aromatics conversion process
Inventor: RENDE DEAN E
IPC: B01J27/02
Filed: 2005-05-19
Abstract: A process for preparing a transalkylation catalyst, the catalyst itself, and a transalkylation process for using the catalyst are herein disclosed. The catalyst comprises rhenium metal on a solid-acid support such as mordenite, which has been treated with a sulfur-based agent and/or a reducing agent under substantially dry reducing conditions including a temperature greater than 350~C.

Title: Impact dispersal device
Inventor: LOVE PHILLIP W
IPC: F16F9/34
Filed: 2006-04-27
Abstract: An apparatus for impact dispersal of a force applied to a vehicle, which is a motor vehicle or other carrier. In various embodiments, the apparatus includes at least one hydraulic cylinder (112) in fluid communication with a relief valve (302) and a flow restrictor (116) connected in series. The piston rod (106) of each cylinder (112) receives the force of an impact, which causes the fluid in the cylinder (112) to undergo an increase in pressure, which is relieved by multiple relief valves (302) and serially connected flow restrictors (116). In one embodiment, the relief valves (302) and the flow restrictors (116) are incorporated into a single valve (302~). The system responds to an amount of force caused by an impact and disperses the force accordingly at a controlled rate. Applications for such an embodiment include connection to vehicle bumpers (102), to a seat back (504) where the cylinder (112) is double-acting, and to landing feet (612) for air-drop carriers.
