Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the drive system for double seat valves comprising two individually movable closure members which, in addition to the open position, can each be individually moved into a partial open position. The object of the invention is to construct a device which is easy to assemble and is space-saving and which should be able to provide externally adjustable, partial lift stops for both closure members. Said object is attained in that a piston (107) of a first individual adjustment device (1b) for the partial open position (T1) of the independently driven closure member (4) is displaceably arranged, to form a seal, externally in a drive housing (100) of the drive device (1), and a piston (108) of a second individual adjustment device (1c) for the partial open position (T2) of the dependently driven closure member (5) is displaceably arranged, to form a seal, externally in a cylindrical recess (107a) of the piston (107), which recess faces a main adjustment device (1a).

Patent CA-2244006-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KURUVILA JOHNSON
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 1998-07-27
Abstract: The  present  invention  relates  to  a  software sparing process and apparatus to reduce the likelihood of  software  failures.    Software  sparing  provides software entities, called spares, which take over and provide similar functionality as the failed system to the clients of the failed entity. They also permit the introduction of new software versions with no loss in service  during the  switch over period.  These  spare entities, which may be located on different nodes in a system,   communicate   using   a   standard   interface protocol.   Sparing  is done  at  the  software  "chunk" level instead of at the hardware box level, which is the  common  practice,  resulting  in  lower  costs  and improved reliability.  The  invention also provides  a computer readable storage medium containing a program element  to  direct  a  processor  of  a  computer  to implement  the  software  sparing  process  described earlier.

Title: Cladding material
Inventor: YOSHIMOTO NOBUYUKI
IPC: B23K20/04
Filed: 1997-02-14
Abstract: Clad material comprises a metal substrate which is provided with a multiplicity of perforated openings therein and a metal foil which is laminated on the metal substrate to close the perforated openings. To produce such a clad material, at least one surface of the metal substrate and corresponding one surface of the metal foil are respectively subjected to a dry etching and the metal substrate and the metal foil are laminated in such a manner that the etched surfaces face each other. Alternately, only one surface of the metal substrate is subjected to a dry etching and the metal substrate and the metal foil are laminated in such a manner that the etched surface of the metal substrate defines a laminating surface. It may be possible to provide a nickel plating on the metal substrate or the metal foil. The clad material can be effectively used for producing safety valve chips which rupture accurately at low pressures which fall in a stable pressure range on a mass production basis.

Title: Process and device for atomising liquid extinguishing agents in stationary extinguishing installations
Inventor: AEBISCHER FREDERIC
IPC: A62C35/02
Filed: 1997-03-26
Abstract: A process and a device for atomization of a liquid extinguishing medium, in which the liquid extinguishing medium and a liquid inert gas are mixed in a mixing unit to form a liquid extinguishing medium mixture. The mixture is conveyed through a conduit to a distributing device such as extinguishing nozzles. As the mixture exits the distributing device the mixture is atomized, forming an aerosol spray for extinguishing a fire within an extinguishing area defined by the aerosol spray. A detector arranged in the extinguishing area for detection of parameters relating to extinguishing of the fire is connected to an evaluation device which in turn is connected to a control valve. The control valve regulates the quantity of liquid inert gas supplied to the mixing unit.
Patent CA-2251750-A1 (CA)
Title: Communication terminal apparatus
Inventor: MINAMI SHIGENOBU
IPC: H04M1/72505
Filed: 1998-03-03
Abstract: A communication terminal apparatus is separated into a housing that is capable of video/voice communications, and a housing that is capable of only voice communications. Since functions of the housing that is capable of only the voice communications are limited, the housing becomes small, can be stored in a pocket or the like, and can immediately go off-hook upon reception of an incoming call. Upon reception of a videophone communication request, the user goes off-hook using the housing that is capable of only the voice communications to immediately make voice communications with the partner terminal, and can switch the communication mode to the video/voice communications using the housing that is capable of the video/voice communications, as needed. Hence, even a communication terminal having a videophone function can comprise a video input/output function without impairing its portability and storability.

Title: Interlocking segmented coil array
Inventor: RECEVEUR PAUL ERIC
IPC: H02K16/02
Filed: 1997-05-19
Abstract: Disclosed is a Segmented Coil Array "SCA" for use in rotary electromotive devices, such as motors and generators, which employ multiple coils (42, 44, 46) operating within an axial gap magnetic structure. Individual conductor coils have offset circumferentially extending portions (39) so as to allow interlocking of adjacent coils radially extending portions (37) to form a circular array in which all of the coils' working conductors, which are those in the axial magnetic field, can be oriented in the same plane. This construction allows minimum magnet gap spacing, thus, maximizing the available magnetic flux. The resulting SCA may easily be commuted as a three-phase motor, actuator, or generator. The invention also provides a structure whereby multiple coil arrays and associated magnetic rotors may be alternately stacked in layers so as to further increase the total coil working area within a motor or generator of a given diameter.

Patent CA-2260528-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RUPP MARKUS
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 1999-01-28
Abstract: An effective receiver is achieved for situations where the receiver is mobile, and may be traveling at relatively high speed, and where the receiver's internal demodulation oscillator causes a frequency offset, with processing that shares a common algorithm for both frequency offset and channel characteristics estimations. Specifically, the commonly employed algorithm, such as the LMS algorithm, computes an estimate of the frequency offset, and that very same algorithm is also used to estimate the channel characteristics. When the LMS algorithm is used, a frequency offset estimate can be derived from signals derived in the course of executing the LMS algorithm. A  frequency compensation factor is then developed and applied to the incoming signal to create a signal that that not have an appreciable frequency offset. That signal is then applied to a process that also employs the LMS algorithm, in combination with a detection algorithm, such as, for example, the Viterbi algorithm, to recover from the incoming signal the information signals that had been encoded into the incoming signals.

Filed: 1997-08-26
Abstract: Ligning and polyether glycol produces a product which has a distinct melt point and melt viscosity. This has a plasticizing effect wherein the polyether glycol can be thought of as the hard resin. When 20 parts of polyether glycol are processed with 80 parts of lignin a new material which has a melt point and a viscosity is created whereas lignin itself has no melt and flow characteristics. The new modified lignin can be cured with hexamine like a phenolic resin.
