Patent CA-2196846-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EVENSON EUAN J
IPC: G01N1/24
Filed: 1997-02-05
Abstract: A furnace system includes a furnace and a furnace monitoring and control system having a gas analyzer for analyzing the composition of furnace off-gases, and a sampling tube or probe used to obtain a high temperature off-gas sample for delivery to the gas analyzer. Gas samples are drawn to the gas analyzer, via the probe, by a vacuum. The probe is formed as a generally cylindrical or polygonally shaped hollow tube, which when mounted in the system defines a generally vertically extending elongated gas passage along which sample gas is drawn, and whereby sample gas flow in the passage is in a generally vertical direction. The probe is provided with upper and lower openings which extend into the gas passage. The lower opening is provided in gaseous communication with the furnace off-gas stream and is formed so as to permit the substantially unhindered movement of particulate matter, such as dust, downwardly along the gas passage and outwardly through theopen bottom end. The upper opening is provided in gaseous communication with thegas analyzer, and a filter is removably positioned across the upper opening to prevent dust and other particulate matter entrained in the sample off-gas from moving through the upper opening and into the gas analyzer. To cool the sample gas and prolong the filter life, part of the probe is provided with a double sidewall construction so as to define a partitioned annular chamber extending about at least part of the gas passage along which cooling fluid may move.

IPC: B65B7/28
Filed: 1996-03-30
Abstract: The tin can is closed by a paper, plastic or metal-foil membrane (2) on at least one end face in such a way that the outer side of the foil edge region (5) raised in the direction of the can's axis (A) is joined to the essentially cylindrical inner surface of the wall of the can (1) to form a seal, without covering the wall edge of the can. The membrane foil (2) with the raised foil edge region (5) is introduced into the can and forced against the inner wall of the can (1) by a die (8) with an expandable periphery (17). Heat is then applied to create a sealing join between the raised foil edge region (5) and the inner wall of the can (1) without any external pressure-absorbing device.

Title: Cam fluid transfer system
Inventor: POLLACK JACK
IPC: E21B17/01
Filed: 1997-10-27
Abstract: An offshore fluid transfer system (10) is provided, of the type that includes a riser (32) having an upper end (34) connected through a universal joint (36) to a turret (22) on a vessel and having a lower end (36) anchored by catenary chains (40), and that also includes hoses (70, 71) each extending from a base (50, 58) on the seafloor to the turret on the vessel, which avoids the need for a complicated hose structure to pass fluid across the universal joint. A fluid coupling (73) near the bottom of the turret, which is widely spaced from the universal joint, connects to a hose that extends from the fluid coupling in a sinuous path down to the seafloor base. The long length of hose, enables it to bend when the vessel drifts, to avoid excessive hose tension or riser contact during such vessel drift. A riser connector (102) can be operated to disconnect the riser from the turret so the riser can sink. The fluid coupling can include a fluid connector (100) which can separately disconnect the hose from the turret. A ring-shaped holder (80) connected to the hose lies around the axis of the turret and around the riser.
