Title: Device for inducing turbulence in refrigerant systems
Inventor: OBERLEY BRIAN J
IPC: F25B43/00
Filed: 2001-01-24
Abstract: A refrigerant expansion device outlet port includes a generally annular body defining a flow path between an inlet and an outlet, with a mixing device interposed between the inlet and outlet to promote turbulent mixing of refrigerant as it passes through the port. In one embodiment, the mixing device is a screen inserted between the inlet and the outlet, preferably adjacent the outlet. In a second embodiment, the mixing device is provided as a set of concentric axially spaced annular shoulders formed on an inner circumference of the flow path between the inlet and outlet. In a third embodiment, the flow path includes a series of rifling grooves on an inner circumferential surface of the flow path for inducing turbulent flow. In a fourth embodiment, the flow path is formed from radially offset or mismatching inlet and outlet flow paths.
Patent CA-2332995-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRAUN HEINRICH
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 1999-06-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système pour la gestion de stocks dans une chaîne de distribution à niveaux multiples par application d'algorithmes d'optimisation à un profil de plage obtenu à partir d'une formulation du réseau de distribution et à partir des différents éléments factorisés dans le réseau. Le problème d'optimisation est défini de manière formelle, et des algorithmes destinés à maximiser l'autonomie du stock par des profils de couverture de besoins sont proposés. Le processus d'optimisation permet de réduire les frais de transport à un minimum et d'éviter les goulots d'étranglement dans les stocks. Au cas où se présenterait tout de même un goulot d'étranglement, le système attribue des priorités aux besoins et fournit une solution optimale pour une répartition de produits monotone. Le procédé selon l'invention comprend les étapes suivantes: initialisation du profil d'autonomie du stock au moyen d'une valeur de départ; calcul des entrées nécessaires pour satisfaire aux restrictions de profil; création du flux le plus économique pour ces besoins au moyen d'un algorithme de coûts minimaux; et réduction ou agrandissement de l'autonomie du stock du profil de couverture de besoins jusqu'à ce qu'une solution soit trouvée.

Patent CA-2340899-A1 (CA)
Title: A gas turbine
Inventor: AOYAMA KUNIAKI
IPC: F01K23/10
Filed: 2001-03-14
Abstract: A gas turbine is provided with combustors having cooling passages formed in the wall of the combustors.      The walls of the combustors are cooled by cooling fluid flowing through the cooling passages. Steam generated by a waste heat recovery boiler is supplied to the cooling passages as cooling fluid during the normal operation of the gas turbine. During start up and shut down operation of the gas turbine, pressurized air from the gas turbine compressor is supplied to the cooling passage as cooling fluid. Since pressurized air from the gas turbine compressor is used for cooling fluid for the combustors during start up and shut down operations, a separate auxiliary boiler is not required for supplying cooling steam to the combustor during start up and shut down operation.

Title: Procede et dispositif pour presser une ebauche
Inventor: SCHWARZER SIEGFRIED
IPC: C03B9/193
Filed: 2000-07-25
Abstract: Selon l'invention, un moule ébaucheur (1) est composé de demi-outils de moulage de col (3, 4) et de demi-moules ébaucheurs (5, 6). Une paraison de verre liquide en fusion est introduite tout d'abord, par une ouverture de chargement supérieure (26), dans un évidement (17) du moule ébaucheur (1), tandis qu'un poinçon-ébaucheur (10) se trouve dans une position de chargement inférieure. Ensuite, un ensemble constitué d'un élément de compression (44), d'une douille de guidage (45) et d'une unité piston-cylindre (48), est introduit dans l'ouverture de chargement (26). Le poinçon-ébaucheur (10) est alors soulevé pour qu'il quitte sa position de chargement et vienne occuper la position finale de travail indiquée, jusqu'à ce que sa face annulaire (23) vienne en contact avec une face de butée (24) de l'outil de moulage de col (2). Après ce pressage préalable, une zone de moulage de col de l'évidement (17) reste dépourvue de verre liquide en fusion. C'est à ce moment seulement que l'élément de compression (44) exerce une pression sur un fond (66) de l'ébauche en cours de formation. Pendant cette opération, le verre liquide en fusion est également comprimé dans la zone de moulage de col, non remplie, de l'évidement (17). Le pressage de l'ébauche est alors achevé, et le moule ébaucheur (1) peut être ouvert pour permettre le transfert de l'ébauche à une station de formage final.

Title: Efficient hardware processor sharing
Inventor: FARYAR ALIREZA FARID
IPC: H04N7/015
Filed: 2001-05-23
Abstract: An efficient hardware architecture and processing method permit pipelined processing stages to be shared in processing samples from a plurality of independent input sequences that are grouped prior to application to the processing arrangement. A high degree of processing engine efficiency and/or reduced delay for accepting new input samples are achieved by applying the signal sequence, {Yj: j=0,1,2,...,MN 1}, obtained by interleaving M signal sequences {Xij:  j=0,1,2,...,N-1}, i=1,2,...M}. Thus, processing of sample Yj can start as soon as processing of sample Yj-M is finished. Accordingly, effective pipeline stage delay, Dp, can be reduced by a factor of M (from D max to D max /M) and the number of required engines (or, equivalently, required time) can be reduced by the same factor M.

Patent CA-2356370-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MAILHAN JEAN-CHRISTOPHE
IPC: C21C7/04
Filed: 1999-12-17
Abstract: The invention concerns a method which consists in injecting into a molten metal bath to be treated, jointly but separately into the same bath zone, oxygen and carbon in a form capable of being blown (powder carbon preferably) so as to generate locally in the bath CO bubbles from those two elements, which will then be loaded in denitriding nitrogen. A stoichiometric adjustment of the carbon and oxygen inputs enable a constant carbon denitriding in the bath. The method is preferably applicable to the production of low-carbon steel grades, in particular in an electric oven.
