Title: Portable ground thawing apparatus
Inventor: OLSON LAWRENCE BERNARD
IPC: E01H5/10
Filed: 2001-01-04
Granted: 2007-06-05
Abstract: The invention is a portable ground thawing device using a shallow rectangularly shaped box-like apparatus (or thaw body) that is open-ended on the side that would normally form the floor of the thaw body. This open-ended box is constructed with a high degree of insulating value and is designed to trap heat against the surface of frozen ground while also including a reflective inner surface. The heating requirements are supplied by the use of an externally mounted radiant propane heater that is commonly available in the marketplace today. This attachment is built into o ne of the short vertical walls on the end of the thaw body by placing the burner eleme nt of the radiant heater in the most outward opening of a vented heat transfer tube. T he vented heat transfer tube is a cylindrical opening that passes from the outside of the thaw body so as to leave an air gap to allow for the free flow of air from inside the thaw body to the outside by the burner. This free flow of air to the heater enhances the efficiency of the radiant heater and therefore increases the operational effectiveness of the invention.

Abstract: A method for delivering fuel oil from a pressurized fuel oil source to an airblast atomizer subassembly on a low firing rate fuel oil burner includes providing a flow control device having a body defining a bore extending between and inlet end of the bore and an outlet end of the bore. The flow control device includes a rod disposed coaxially within the bore in a close fitting relationship. At least one of the bore and the rod is threaded (i.e., includes a groove extending along a helical path) to define a passageway extending along a circuitous, helical path intermediate the input and output ends of the bore through which the fuel oil must pass in flowing from the input end to the output end. The passageway has a size and shape adapted to achieve a desired rate of flow of the fuel oil to the airblast atomizer subassembly (e.g., less than 1.0 gallons per hour and typically less than 0.5 gallons per hour). The method proceeds by delivering the fuel oil through the passageway in the flow control device. One embodiment of the flow control device has a threaded bore. Another has a threaded rod. Yet another is adapted to attach directly to the atomizer subassembly, while still another has fittings enabling placement in a fuel oil line apart from the atomizer subassembly.

Title: Valve-operating device with breather system in engine
Inventor: ITO KEITA
IPC: F01L1/053
Filed: 2001-07-09
Granted: 2005-01-11
Abstract: In a valve-operating device with a breather system in an engine, in which a breather passage is defined in a cam shaft, a bearing cap is detachably secured to the engine body for supporting an outer peripheral surface of one end portion of the camshaft with a bearing. A breather chamber is provided in the bearing cap in order to communicate with the outlet of the breather passage. A pipe-connecting portion is integrally formed on an outer peripheral surface of the bearing cap; and a breather pipe connected to an intake system is connected to the pipe-connecting portion. Thus, a blow-by gas can be drawn through the breather passage in the valve-operating camshaft to the outside by utilizing a portion of a valve-operating camshaft supporting structure. It is thus possible to simplify the structure of the valve-operating device with the breather system.

Title: Device for receiving a chip shaped carrier and process for assembling a plurality of such devices
Inventor: VISCHER PETER
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2002-06-20
Granted: 2011-07-26
Abstract: A device for receiving a chip shaped carrier having an active surface, e.g. a surface which carries an array of DNA olgonucleotides and which is adapted to be read by an electro-optical reading device. The device comprises: a cartridge having an opening for receiving a liquid sample and including casing parts; a casing part having an inner surface and outer surface, a first cavity for receiving a chip shaped carrier, and means which provide access to that first cavity and thereby to the active surface of the chip shaped carrier; a sealing material which is at least once reversibly liquidifiable; the shape and dimensions of first cavity, chip shaped carrier, and sealing material, being chosen that the chip shaped carrier fits into the space delimited by the sealing material. The process for mounting the carrier in the cartridge essentially consists in placing the carrier in the first cavity and liquidifying the sealing material.  In the liquid state, the sealing material closes any gap between the side walls of the first cavity and the carrier, and after solidification, the sealing material constitutes a strong and liquid-tight bond.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de duplication fournissant une tolérance aux anomalies pour un signal continu dans un réseau d'ordinateurs. Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le signal original ou source est envoyé à plusieurs répartiteurs qui, à leur tour, font chacun des copies de ce signal et envoient ces copies à une deuxième couche de dispositifs appelés  </=  concentrateurs  >/= . Un concentrateur donné reçoit comme entrée une ou plusieurs copies du signal source. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, un concentrateur donné reçoit deux copies du signal source provenant d'au moins deux répartiteurs différents. Les concentrateurs traitent les copies de signal continu entrantes, par exemple, en les fusionnant en une copie unique ou composite du signal source original selon un algorithme de traitement donné. La sortie d'un concentrateur donné peut alors être transmise à un répartiteur, le procédé étant répété si désiré pour créer un grand nombre arbitraire de copies du signal. A la fin du procédé de duplication, la sortie d'un répartiteur ou d'un concentrateur est transmise directement ou indirectement à un utilisateur final. Le procédé de duplication selon l'invention tolère les anomalies et le signal de l'utilisateur final n'est donc pas interrompu, quels que soient les problèmes liés au signal ou au matériel survenant dans le mécanisme de distribution.
