Patent CA-2503619-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SNEKKENES VIDAR
IPC: D21F1/74
Filed: 2005-04-06
Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a device for the dilution of dewatered cellulose pulp that maintains a consistency of 30% or greater.        By shredding of the pulp to a finely divided dry granulate, dilution to a homogeneous consistency in the medium consistency range can take place exclusively through hydrodynamic effects from the addition of dilution fluid. The dilution fluid is added to the granulate at a position at which the granulate is in free fall in a stand pipe 22, 40 and above a level Liq LEV of diluted pulp in the stand pipe. A number of nozzles are arranged around the periphery of the stand pipe, directed in towards the centre of the stand pipe, obliquely downwards in the direction of fall of the granulate.      It is possible through this simplified procedure to avoid completely the conventional dilution screws, and this reduces the investment costs and operating costs, while at the same time unnecessary mechanical influence of the pulp fibres can be avoided.
Patent CA-2504547-A1 (CA)
Title: Internal shock absorber plunger
Inventor: VICTOR BRUCE M
IPC: F04B53/14
Filed: 2005-04-20
Abstract: An improved plunger mechanism apparatus has an internal shock absorber to increase plunger life and increases life of components found at a top and well bottom. The internal shock absorber can be an elastomer spring, die coil spring or wave spring. An actuator rod within the plunger hits the bottom of the well and compresses the internal spring, absorbing all or part of the impact shock. Likewise, when a plunger rises to the well top with a high velocity, damage is avoided as the top of the plunger hits well top apparatus. Reduction in well bottom bumper spring collapses, spring damage, and plunger damage is obtained. Damage to well bottoms having no bumper springs is avoided. Efficiency of well flow is increased by the increase in the reliability of the well operation.
Patent CA-2508446-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAKAIKE HIROTSUGU
IPC: B21J5/10
Filed: 2003-12-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to a making method for a seamless metallic tube with a tilting roll type piercing rolling mill (piercer). According to the making method for a seamless metallic tube of the present invention, the rotary forging effect and the circumferential shearing strain can be significantly suppressed without generating uncompleted engagement of a billet. Accordingly, a product having reduced inside defects and excellent inside quality can be produced in high productivity. Further, by strengthening a plug nose rolling portion, a sharpened plug nose is obtained and an engagement limit can be increased. Additionally, a product further excellent in the inside quality can be efficiently produced. Accordingly, the present invention can be applied to wide fields of the piercing rolling of the seamless metallic tube.

Inventor: MITCHELL BRUCE
IPC: A21B5/00
Filed: 2006-01-11
Abstract: An apparatus for use in cooking food patties comprised of spacer members and a hollow tube for receiving food patties and spacer members. The food patties and spacer members are alternately placed into the hollow tube, in a similar orientation as coins are arranged in a roll of coins. When in the hollow tube, food patties and spacer members are oriented on their edge in relation to the cooking surface or heat source. The spacer members facilitate the propagation of heat to the surfaces of the food patties. Each food patty having a spacer member or a lid member abutting each of its flat surfaces, receives heat from the abutting spacer member and/or lid member as well as from the wall of the hollow tube. The hollow tube can also receive one or more lids. When in use, the hollow tube is placed directly on a cooking surface or is attached to a rotisserie to cook the food patties. The orientation of the food patties when in the apparatus reduces the amount of cooking surface required for cooking.
