Title: Apparatus for sealing a vacuum chamber of a seed metering apparatus
Inventor: STUFFLEBEAM JOHN F
IPC: A01C7/04
Filed: 1997-08-19
Abstract: A sealing arrangement for a vacuum seed metering mechanism including a housing assembly divided into a seed receiving chamber and a vacuum chamber by a relatively this circular seed disc having parallel and flat sides.  The seed disc is provided with a circular row of throughopenings adjacent the periphery of the seed disc.  The openings serve to pick up seeds in the seed receiving chamber of the seed metering mechanism and carry the seeds around under the influence of pressure differentials to the seed discharge area of the seed metering mechanism. A sector of the seed disc is partitioned off both from the vacuum and chamber and the seed receiving chamber to allow the seeds to be released from the disc and gravitationally deposited into the furrow passing beneath the seed metering mechanism.  The housing assembly of the seed metering mechanism has integrally formed thereon a pair of radially spaced annular flat sealing faces.  The annular faces are joined to each other in a common plane and form the vacuum chamber extending in the direction of rotation of the seed disc.  The sealing faces of the housing assembly are disposed on opposed sides of the row of apertures in the disc.  The sealing faces on the housing assembly are arranged in confronting relation to the flat side of the seed disc.  In combination with the vacuum acting thereon, spring structure resiliently urges the seed disc toward and into continuous sliding contact with the sealing faces on the housing assembly thereby maintaining a sealing relationship between the disc and the housing assembly throughout operation of the seed metering mechanism thus establishing a pressure differential at the holes or openings of the seed disc for holding the seeds to the disc.

Title: A method of packaging a beverage containing gas in solution and a beverage package
Inventor: DODD CAROLE JANE
IPC: B65D79/00
Filed: 1998-01-07
Abstract: A method of packaging a beverage having gas in solution and a beverage package has a container 10 containing the beverage 6 to form a headspace 15. Floating on the beverage 6 is a hollow spherical capsule having a restricted aperture 7. During sealing of the container 10 by a top 20 the headspace 15 is pressurised (by a nitrogen dose 16) and during such pressurisation the insert 1 is raised relative to its natural floating position on the beverage 6 to ensure that the aperture 7 communicates with the headspace 15 to pressurise the chamber of that insert. The aforementioned raising of the insert 1 is preferably achieved by subjecting the insert to a centrifugal force during rotation of the container in seaming the top 20 thereto or by magnetic attraction. Following pressurisation of the headspace 15 the insert is lowered to float naturally on the beverage 6 with its aperture 7 submerged. During pressurisation the insert 1 may take in a minimal volume of beverage from the container. When the container is opened by ring pull 25 a pressure differential develops causing fluid under pressure to be ejected from the insert 1 through the aperture 7 into the beverage 6 for liberating gas from solution and the development of froth on the beverage.

Abstract: The invention is a method for selecting, producing, and delivering a finished mail piece. The method includes the step of selecting, at an initiating node, a set of parameters which together comprise a mail piece to be produced at a remote location. The selection is made from a series of menus within a program resident within a data processing system. Among the parameters which can be selected or determined are the destination address, type of delivery service to be used, and a choice of the media stock upon which a selected text can be printed. Additionally, a choice of language for the text can be made, and an account number for debiting the cost of the transaction may be entered. The selected parameters are transmitted to a data center which reads the destination address and then determines the most appropriate destination node. It is possible for the data center to be co-located with the initiating node or, to be the destination node. The data center, which maintains all data with respect to a particular transaction, will transmit the selected parameters to the destination node. Upon receipt of the data, the destination node prints the selected text upon a media which is inserted into an envelope with the destination address printed upon the envelope. The envelope is then franked in proper local currency and delivered to a local postal stream for final delivery to the destination address.

Patent CA-2254980-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CORDS BRUCE R
IPC: C02F1/78
Filed: 1996-12-04
Abstract: The invention relates to treatment of aqueous streams and aqueous systems with ozone. The aqueous stream comprises a closed loop system providing transport from a production locus to a processing locus for a variety of products. The aqueous stream can contain a challenge soil load and a microbial load. A treatment zone is defined through which the aqueous stream passes. The treatment zone is contacted with a sufficient concentration of ozone to substantially reduce the microbial population and to substantially reduce the number of microorganisms that can generate slime on the interior of the system. An amount of ozone is added to the aqueous stream in the treatment zone such that once the microbial populations are reduced to a safe level, the ozone concentration is also reduced to a level substantially safe for contact with operating personnel and product. Typically, such concentration is less than one part by weight of ozone per million parts by weight of aqueous system, preferably less than 0.5 parts by weight of ozone per million parts of aqueous system. The use of a treatment zone in an aqueous system segregates the ozone from release into areas frequented by operating personnel, sensitive materials or product.

Title: Aqueous miticide containing benzyl benzoate
Inventor: HANSEN ERIC J
IPC: A01N37/10
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: Compositions and methods for killing dust mites are disclosed. The disclosed miticides are aqueous mixtures composed of benzyl benzoate in an amount effective for killing dust mites and a solvent having a high affinity for benzyl benzoate and for water. The amount of solvent is sufficient to maintain a stable dispersion of benzyl benzoate in the aqueous mixture. Benzyl alcohol, which is itself a miticide, is an especially useful solvent. The miticide optionally contains at least one surfactant, which along with the solvent, helps maintain a stable dispersion of benzyl benzoate in the aqueous mixture. The aqueous mixture is applied to surfaces of household furnishings including bedding, carpeting, and upholstery, using conventional liquid application techniques. An important aspect of the present invention is that themiticide is a fully aqueous solution that, unlike available miticides, contains no solid particles for dispersing the benzyl benzoate.

Patent CA-2260826-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STURMAN ODED E
IPC: F01L9/10
Filed: 1997-07-09
Abstract: A camless valve assembly for an internal combustion engine which utilizes a plurality of three position control valves to open and close the intake and exhaust valves of the assembly. Each valve is coupled to a plurality of hydraulically driven pins that move the valve between the open and closed positions. The flow of fluid to the pins is controlled by the three position digitally latched solenoid actuated control valves that can be switched between a first position, a second position and a neutral position. When a control valve is in the first position the fluid flows into the pins and moves the valve. When the control valve is in the second position the fluid can flow away from the pins to allow the valve to move back to the original position. When the control valve is in the neutral position the fluid does not flow so that the valve cannot move. The control valve can be switched by a controller that can move and maintain a valve at any position during any cycle of the engine.
Patent CA-2261713-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STOKKA ARNOLD
IPC: E21B19/16
Filed: 1997-07-07
Abstract: A top drive is used to connect successive lengths of casing. The casing is gripped by a mechanism (100) which comprises a support (5) which is attached to the top drive by a drive plate (4). A circular plate (9) is rotatably mounted in the support (5) and is associated with four jaw assemblies (50). In use the mechanism (100) is lowered onto a length of casing until the circular plate (9) engages the top of the casing. When the top drive is rotated in one sense the support (5) rotates relative to the circular plate (9). This causes toothed cylinders (14) to rotate which, in turn, rotates eccentric members (12 and 13) which advance the jaws (15) into gripping engagement with the casing. Further rotation of the top drive rotates the casing and screws it into the casing below.
