Patent CA-2348403-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAUSMANN MATTHIAS
IPC: B65D83/76
Filed: 1999-11-08
Abstract: Des doubles contenants constitués d'un contenant intérieur (2) et d'un contenant extérieur (1) étanche à la diffusion sont utilisés pour des liquides médicaux. Lors du prélèvement du liquide, le contenant intérieur s'affaisse. Afin d'équilibrer la pression entre la chambre gazeuse (15), se trouvant entre le contenant intérieur et le contenant extérieur, et l'environnement du double contenant, il est nécessaire d'avoir recours à un dispositif de compensation de pression permettant simultanément de réduire le plus possible les pertes de liquide par diffusion hors du contenant intérieur s'affaissant. A cet effet, on utilise au moins un canal (7) qui relie l'espace intermédiaire rempli de gaz et l'environnement du double contenant. La constante de temps pour compenser une différence de pression de quelques millibars est de l'ordre de quelques heures. Le choix de la longueur et de la section du canal permet d'atteindre cette valeur. Le canal ou les canaux peuvent être produits individuellement ou une pluralité de canaux peuvent se présenter sous forme de pores dans un matériau fritté à pores ouverts ou dans une membrane perméable. Ce dispositif de compensation de pression permet de stocker le double contenant pendant des années et, si le liquide est prélevé sous forme de portions, conformément aux dispositions, d'utiliser ce double contenant pendant de nombreuses semaines. Au cours de ces périodes, la quantité de liquide dans le contenant intérieur ou sa concentration varient nettement moins que lors de l'utilisation d'un double contenant connu.

Patent CA-2351072-A1 (CA)
Title: Gaseous fuel and oxygen burner
Inventor: SESTRAP ARVO M
IPC: F23D14/64
Filed: 2001-06-20
Abstract: No exit-flame burner includes nested elongate mixing and ignition tubes. The mixing chamber tube is of shorter length than the ignition chamber tube and is nested coaxially. The first ends of the ignition and mixing chamber tubes are sealed by a sealing member. A gas port for delivery of oxygen-bearing gas is formed in the sealing member. A gas diffuser is nested coaxially within the mixing chamber tube. A fuel-feeding bore within the gas diffuser is aligned coaxially within the mixing chamber tube. The gas diffuser is shaped as a rhombus in cross-section along the longitudinal axis to thereby define a rim around an apex thereof. The rim extends substantially around, closely adjacent to, a corresponding inside surface of the mixing chamber tube to thereby define an upstream gas plenum upstream of the rim between the rim and the sealing member. In use the burner provides an efficient burn so only heated exhaust gases exit the ignition tube, giving directional control for use of the heat on what may be a small area.

Title: Armature for an electromotive device
Inventor: GRAHAM GREGORY
IPC: H02K13/04
Filed: 2000-03-29
Abstract: The armature is fabricated from pre-machined copper sheet metal parts with an electrical conductor pattern of nu-merous axially extending conductive bands. These precision machined sheet metal parts are cold rolled to form two work hardened cylinders, each cylinder having a complimentary pattern of electrically conductive bands creating a half-electric circuit. The two cold rolled metal cylinders are sized such that the smaller diameter inner cylinder fits inside the larger diameter outer cylinder. The surface of the inner cold rolled cylinder is over-wrapped with fiber strands, woven in several layers to provide physical spacing and electrical insulation. The fiber wrapped inner cylinder is placed inside the larger outer cylinder radially oriented to ensure that an electrical circuit is created by welding the inner and outer cylinder at the conductor tabs. The surface of this cylinder assembly is over-wrapped with fiber strands, woven in several layers and holding the two cylinders together.
