IPC: C10B53/00
Filed: 1996-12-27
Abstract: This apparatus can effect pyrolysis of hydrocarbon containing material at high temperature of 400 to 500° C and under vacuum in consecutive batches. The apparatus comprises a cylindrical drum rotatable at a variable speed about a horizontal axis and spacedly surrounded by a heat insulating sheath; a gas burner heats the rotating drum along its entire length from the exterior of the same; a chimney communicates with the space between the drum and the sheath, which has ventilation openings closable by trap doors; the drum is supported by bearings so to allow its axial thermal expansion. A manifold system of filters is stationarily mounted within the rotating drum to filter out fine solid residues from the pyrolytic gases and vapors. This manifold is connected to a discharge tube which exits from one end of the drum and is fitted with a sealing joint to seal the drum around the stationary discharge tube. This joint has a passage for admitting into the drum emergency inert gas to prevent atmospheric air into the drum in the event of an accidental leak of the rotary joint.

Title: Reduced Antioxidant Gum Base and Method of Preparation
Inventor: TYRPIN HENRY T
IPC: A23G4/02
Filed: 1995-08-29
Abstract: A stabilized gum base and chewing gum are prepared using techniques that significantly reduce the amount of antioxidant lost during manufacture. As a result, the gum base and chewing gum include at least about two-thirds, and preferably three-fourths, of the amount of antioxidant initially added during manufacture of the gum base. The improved antioxidant retention is accomplished primarily using mixing techniques which significantly reduce the average mixing time needed to prepare a homogeneous gum base, and further by integrating the manufacture of gum base and chewing gum into a single continuous mixer.

Patent CA-2214193-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAO PAT SIN
IPC: G01D5/347
Filed: 1997-10-20
Abstract: An optical encoder comprising a light source emitting a light beam, a first lenticular array to which the light beam is directed, a second movable lenticular array to which the light beams exiting from the first lenticular array is directed and a light receiving element. The individual lenslets in the first and the second lenticular array define the light beam into fine beams of periodic pattern or dark and bright fringes. As the movable lenticular array is being displaced in a direction parallel to the first lenticular array, the incident angle of the light beam exiting from the first lenticular array to the second lenticular array is changed, which results in a change in the position of the periodic pattern. Thus, as the position of the periodic pattern is changing, the output of the light receiving element varies according and may readily be converted to a digital signal indicative of the position and direction of the movable lenticular array.
