Patent CA-2407922-C (CA)
Inventor: DROST JIM L
IPC: F21V23/00
Filed: 1991-12-20
Granted: 2004-06-22
Abstract: A means and method for rigidly elevating a structure includes a base member securable in the ground and which has a portion extending above the ground. A pole section, having a bore inside a lower end, and an upper end, can be stacked upon the base means upwardly by slip fitting the pole section onto the base end and securing it in place. A flexible, easily transportable and durable system is thereby created for elevating structures.        An integrated pole for elevating light fixtures and all other necessary components such as electrical components, can be predesigned, shipped, and easily installed at a desired location.      Pole top member, including rigidly secured cross arms, can be inserted on the top of a pole. All wiring for both the pole top cross arms, and the pole itself can be preconfigured and require simple connection of plugs between wiring segments. Additional features can include ballast boxes which quickly attach to the pole by easy mounting brackets, and which also allow communication with the interior of the pole to allow easy electrical connection of its components. Still further, the wiring can be protected and reliably secured in the pole by structure and methods which deter abrasion or slippage. The entire assembly can be shipped on sight and quickly and easily assembled without intensive labor, equipment, or cost.

Abstract: An improved structure has a first channel and a second channel that extend in specified directions, a third channel open in a wall of said first channel and a fourth channel that is open to a wall of said second channel such that it couples an end of said third channel to said second channel, that has a property of being less wettable (or insensitive to capillary attraction) and that is narrower than the other three channels; a liquid introduced into said first channel is drawn into said third channel and thereafter said liquid that remains in said first channel is removed to meter and sample a volume of globule equal to the capacity of said third channel. If the second channel is already filled with a liquid, the structure is modified to further include a fifth channel that is open to a wall of said fourth channel, that is narrower than or equal in thickness to said fourth channel and that is made of a wall having a property of being less wettable (or insensitive to capillary attraction).

Abstract: Un appareil d'extrusion (10) utilise un procédé pour réguler le débit d'écoulement d'un dispositif de liquéfaction (26). L'appareil (10) comprend une tête d'extrusion (20) qui se déplace le long d'un trajet d'outil prédéterminé à une vitesse de la tête d'extrusion. La tête d'extrusion (20) transporte le dispositif de liquéfaction (26). Le dispositif de liquéfaction (26) reçoit un élément solide d'un matériau à modeler (14), réchauffe le matériau à modeler et produit un flux du matériau à modeler ayant un débit de sortie. Un mécanisme d'avancement du matériau (23) est utilisé pour faire avancer l'élément solide du matériau à modeler (14) vers le dispositif de liquéfaction (26) à une vitesse d'entrée qui détermine le débit de sortie. Pour réguler le débit de sortie, on détermine un profil de la vitesse de la tête d'extrusion en fonction du trajet d'outil. La vitesse d'entrée du matériau à modeler (14) dans le dispositif de liquéfaction (26) est ensuite régulée pour produire un débit de sortie du matériau à modeler du dispositif de liquéfaction (26) qui est proportionnel à la vitesse actuelle de la tête d'extrusion correspondant au profil de vitesse de la tête d'extrusion.

Patent CA-2482173-C (CA)

Filed: 2003-04-10
Granted: 2012-10-23
Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for detecting low concentrations of bacteria in liquid solution that may or may not be complex liquid solutions. In one embodiment, immunomagnetic separation (IMS) is used to separate target bacterium that may be in a liquid mixture from other constituents in the mixture. A low concentration of a bacteriophage for the target bacteria is subsequently used to infect target bacterial cells that have been captured using the IMS technique. If at least a certain concentration of target bacterium are present, the bacteriophage will multiply to a point that is detectable. Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization/time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI/TOF-MS) is then used to produce a mass spectrum that is analyzed to determine if one or more proteins associated with the bacteriophage are present, thereby indirectly indicating that target bacterium were present in the liquid mixture.

Granted: 2007-08-14
Abstract: The present invention is a spill containment apparatus that may be mounted to the vent pipe of a liquid storage tank. The apparatus comprises a canister forming a reservoir for receiving liquid overflowing through the tank vent. If the overflow volume does not exceed the reservoir capacity, the liquid in the reservoir drains back into the tank when the tank is drawn down. If the overflow volume exceeds the reservoir capacity, the excess liquid is diverted through a canister outlet to a collection receptacle. In either event, the overflowing liquid never contacts or contaminates the exterior surfaces of the tank roof and walls, or the fill or natural soil in the vicinity of the tank. A canister vent that allows passage of vapours from the tank to the atmosphere during non- overflow conditions. If an overflow floods the canister, a check valve closes off the canister vent, thus preventing spillage through the canister vent.

Abstract: Procédé servant à traiter un flux aqueux afin de produire un soluté bas contenant un distilat et un écoulement de purge possédant une teneur élevée en soluté et en solides au moyen d'un procédé servant à augmenter l'efficacité d'un évaporateur, tout en permettant à la surface de transfert thermique d'être exempte de tartre. Ceci consiste à extraire des ions multivalents et une alcalinité non hydroxyde des flux d'alimentation aqueux à des niveaux très bas puis à augmenter le pH à un niveau égal ou supérieur à 9, de manière à optimiser l'ionisation de constituants peu ionisable de la solution aqueuse. Ceci permet d'augmenter considérablement l'ionisation de constituants, tels que silice ou bore, ainsi que leur solubilité dans la solution concentrée présente dans l'installation d'évaporation. Ce procédé et ce dispositif permettent d'optimiser les facteurs de concentration tolérable et la récupération d'eau de bonne qualité pratiquement exempte de tartre.
