Patent CA-2348465-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FITZSIMMONS ROBERT J
IPC: A61N2/04
Filed: 1999-11-11
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à une méthode et à un appareil qui permettent de stimuler l'activité biologique de récepteurs cellulaires (105). On stimule l'activité biologique desdits récepteurs cellulaires (105) en plaçant un émetteur (402) à proximité de ces récepteurs cellulaires cibles (105), en générant un champ électromagnétique qui est tel que le flux de ce champ électromagnétique (405) traverse les récepteurs cellulaires cibles (105), et en faisant varier le champ électromagnétique (405) à une vitesse de variation préétablie. L'invention se rapporte également à un appareil associé (805) qui est conçu pour stimuler l'activité biologique des récepteurs cellulaires. Ledit appareil comporte une bobine de champ (910a, 910b) électriquement reliée à une source de courant alternatif (015a, 915b) à une vitesse préétablie de variation. Le courant alternatif circule dans la bobine de champ (910a, 910b) et génère par conséquent un champ électromagnétique (405) à une vitesse préétablie de variation.

Title: Concentration of chlor-alkali membrane cell depleted brine
Inventor: RUTHERFORD JOHN
IPC: C01D3/14
Filed: 2001-08-02
Abstract: This invention relates to methods, systems and installations for concentrating depleted brine produced by the electrolytic decomposition of concentrated brine in chlor- alkali membrane cells and to the efficient use of power, steam and brine More particularly, this invention relates to the use of depleted brine directly into evaporation systems, which are used to concentrate the brine for reuse in membrane cells or other processes. This invention employs the phenomena that a weak unsaturated brine boiling under reduced pressure has a lower boiling point rise (BPR) than a saturated brine boiling at the same or higher pressure. The concentration of depleted brine at a lower boiling point rise improves the operating efficiency of either mechanical vapor recompression and/or steam jet thermocompression Further, this invention allows for concentrating the depleted brine at temperatures low enough to utilize plastic materials of construction. The use of plastic materials of construction in place of metals in the major components of the installation eliminates or minimizes the metal contamination of the brine being concentrated.

Abstract: The following is a quick description of our idea for the Paper Cup Clipper .  The Paper Cup Clipper is a device that will cut the rim of a paper cup so you can roll up the rim of the cup to reveal a prize offered in promotion or contest . The idea is to make it easier for people to see if they have won a prize .  This product would be aimed at people who have difficulties rolling up the rim because of weak fingers due to age or medical reasons . By simply cutting the rim in two places a short distance apart less force would be needed to unfold the rim to reveal the prize .      I hope this explains the nature of this product a little better .

Patent CA-2360210-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COURTNEY STUART
IPC: G01P3/36
Filed: 2001-10-26
Abstract: A data collector having an integrated laser tachometer. The data collector includes. within a housing that can be held by a single hand, circuitry for receiving a vibration signal to be digitized, as well as an optical system for receiving light from outside said housing to be converted to a digital tachometer signal. Digital signal processing circuits within the housing receive, store or process the digitized vibration signal and/or the digital tachometer signal, for the purpose of predictive maintenance. The housing of the data collector also holds a display and input keys, so that an operator may use the same hand for holding and controlling the data collector, and for holding the integrated laser tachometer. This frees a hand for holding an accelerometer or for other purposes. Use of a data collector with an integrated laser tachometer is thus substantially more convenient than using a data collector with a separate nonintegrated laser tachometer attachment.

Abstract: On a wafer, patterns of arrayed waveguide gratings are formed. Each arrayed waveguide grating has an arcuate shape obtained by arranging two curved-line portions convexed in the same direction at a predetermined spacing and connecting respective end portions thereof with two mutually parallel straight lines. These arrayed waveguide gratings are cut out along straight cutting paths and curved cutting paths in which two arcuate portions of the same shape are arranged side by side in a lateral direction. Thus, a larger number of chips can be produced as compared with a case where each array waveguide grating is cut out in a rectangular shape. Ultrasonic machining techniques or sandblast machining techniques are suitable for the cutting operation.
