Patent CA-2120025-C (CA)
Inventor: SCHULZE KLAUS
IPC: F16K17/38

Granted: 1998-11-24
Abstract: A fire-protection valve is disclosed with a shutting spring, for automatically shutting off conduits, in particular gas conduits, such as those that are mounted upstream of gas fittings. The valve according to the invention comprises a metallic closure body having a spherical shape, at least in the sealing area. Its diameter forms a slight tight fit with the diameter of the first bore shaped in the housing of the valve, when the valve is closed. A second bore that extends in the axial direction of the first bore is arranged upstream thereof, in the direction of the closure body. The diameter of the second bore forms a loose fit with the diameter of the closure body. A spherical guide that tapers in the direction of the closure body in its open position is located between the closure of the second bore. The closure body is normally seated on three fixed points, one of which is a temperature-sensitive element. When the temperature of the element rises above a pre-determined level, the element becomes deformed and the closure spring forces the closure body through the opening between the fixed points, enlarged due to this deformation. The moving closure body is centered on the valve axis by the spherical guide and the second bore and, due to its kinetic energy, is pressed into the first bore, producing a tight moulding fit. After getting in touch with the housing, the closure body rapidly acquires its temperature, whereby the moulding fit increases resulting in a gas-tight connection which no longer requires the closure spring to keep the valve closed, even under shocks or concussions.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method are provided for measuring an ambient physical parameter applied to a highly birefringent sensing fiber.  A light source emits a low coherence light beam into a sensing fiber subjected to an ambient physical parameter.  A collector receives the output light beam of the sensing fiber and a splitter divides the output light beam  into  two  orthogonally polarized  output  beams  and subjects the two orthogonally polarized output beams to a range of relative delays.  A recombiner combines the two orthogonally  polarized  output  beams  to  produce  an interference pattern, and a detector detects intensities of the  interference pattern over the range of delays.   A calculating device determines the ambient parameter from the intensities with improved accuracy.

Granted: 1999-01-26
Abstract: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as indomethacin, and other pharmaceutically active compounds, are formulated with bile acids or their salts and conjugates. Bile acids previously proposed for use in such formulations have placed an un-acceptable toxic load on the liver and/or cells of the gastrointestinal tract, causing abnormal liver function or cell erosion. In this invention, the bile acid is a low detergent bile acid, such as ursodeoxycholate. Stabilization of the bile acid pool results in enhanced and predictable enterohepatic recycling of NSAIDs (and other drugs) and a reduced risk of toxicity.

Abstract: A security container for holding and displaying an article such as a package containing a compact disc, audiocassette or videocassette, comprised of a base and a pivotally mounted lid.  The base has an external size and shape generally equal to that of the article to be secured within an interior compartment formed by the base.  The lid is pivotally mounted on the base by a pair of posts located on side walls of the base which are spaced from one of the end walls a sufficient distance to provide an end of the container having a thickness equal to the thickness of the article contained therein.  This thickness of the end of the container enables the container to be placed within a display rack heretofore useable only for an unsecured package.  A recess is formed in an inside surface of the lid for receiving and protecting a security detection device within the container.   A lock is formed on the inside of the base by a plurality of flexible fingers which are formed on the lid and which are engageable with angled projections formed on the base.  Key openings are formed in the base in alignment with the angled locking projections whereby a key can be inserted through the openings to remove the flexible fingers from the projections to unlock the lid to remove a cassette from the storage container.

Abstract: A process for the production of foamed material from waste paper and the like, such as paper, cardboard, waste cardboard or materials with similar properties, are usable in the same way as raw material, either sorted by type of material or as a raw material mixture. First, a liquid-containing pulp is prepared from the raw materials. The foaming and hardening of this pulp takes place under the action of microwave radiation. By using suitable molds permitting an unobstructed access of the radiation to the liquid-containing mass and unhindered expulsion of the resulting vapor, it is possible to manufacture any type of shaped bodies in a continuous or batch-wise process.

IPC: B41J11/04

Granted: 2001-03-20
Abstract: A thermal printing apparatus for printing graphic images on sheet material, such as a vinyl sheet, utilizes a platen drive to move the sheet material between a roller platen and thermal print head. The thermal print head presses the sheet material into engagement with the roller platen along a linear zone of contact, and a drive motor is drivingly connected to the roller platen through a series of drive gears to rotatably drive the roller platen, and in turn move the sheet material between the platen and print head. A pair of registration sprockets are mounted on opposite ends of a common sprocket shaft, and engage corresponding feed holes formed in the marginal edges of the sheet material. The registration sprockets guide and steer the sheet material as it is driven between the roller platen and the print head, and substantially prevent buckling or like distortion of the sheet material. A sensor is coupled to the drive shaft, and generates signals indicative of the rotational position and direction of the registration sprockets, and thus indicative of the position of the sheet material relative to the print head. A controller is coupled to the sensor, and selectively energizes the heating elements of the thermal print head in response to the positional signals transmitted by the sensor and image data to accurately print graphic images on the sheet material.

Abstract: Improved methods for managing a population of metal components (10) subject to fatigue failure are provided. The residual compressive stress in the critical surfaces of such components (10), especially in areas of high stress concentration, are measured nondestructively using x-ray diffraction techniques. The measured residual compressive stress is used as a management criteria. A component having a residual compressive stress greater than a predetermined value can be returned to service. However, once the measured residual compressive stress of a component falls below the predetermined value, it can either be removed permanently from service, or it can be reworked to increase its residual compressive stress and then returned to service. Additionally, by measuring the residual compressive stress of an individual component, the remaining service life of that individual component can be estimated. These methods for management of populations of such metal components allow for increasing the service life of the components in a safe and effective manner.

A first fixed clamp-head is provided for positioning the hollow, cylindrical hole-saw guide adjacent the first side of the hollow installed pipe. A second movable and swivelable clamp-head is provided for holding a second side, opposed to the first side, of the hollow installed pipe in such manner as to have the centre line of the hollow installed pipe intersect the axis of the hollow cylindrical hole-saw guide. The second movable and swivelable clamp-head includes a V-shaped member solid which is closed along the axis of the hollow cylindrical hole-saw guide. A grip is provided for adjusting and positioning the first and second clamp-heads into a user-selected clamping position about the hollow installed pipe.
