Patent CA-2365955-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CLAVEL ROBERT
IPC: H05H1/00
Filed: 2001-12-17
Abstract: A plasma analyser is disclosed for analysing the behaviour of a plasma discharge or corona discharge at the electrode of a non-thermal plasma or corona discharge reactor. This is done by providing instantaneous, real time voltage and current measurements at the electrode and multiplying them to obtain real time power values. The power values are then integrated over time to give energy values of the microdischarges occurring at the electrode. The values of current, power and energy are then compared with preselected threshold values and the microdischarges that exceed these values are counted. A method for controlling the plasma or corona discharge reaction is also disclosed by adjusting electrical parameters of the pulser that provides electrical energy to the reactor according to a modelling program that optimizes the reaction at the electrode.

Patent CA-2383905-A1 (CA)
Title: Refrigerator cabinet refrigerant tube assembly
Inventor: BANICEVIC NEDO
IPC: F25D23/06
Filed: 2002-04-29
Abstract: There is disclosed a support tube for use in supporting a refrigerant tube within the insulation of a refrigerator cabinet. The support tube is mounted at it's lower end by a shoulder to extend through an exit opening in the bottom wall of the shell from the compressor motor housing up through a cavity space between the rear walls of the inner liner and the outer cabinet shell and into an insulation block. The insulation block has a passageway that faces downwardly, vertically into the cavity and curves gently to a refrigerant suction tube access opening in the inner liner. This opening and a corresponding opening in the tube have an elliptical shape which together with the gentle curvature of the tube permits for the easy insertion of the refrigerant tube in through the liner access opening, through the tube, and into the compressor motor. The use of the tube permits for field servicing of the refrigerant tube, positively locates the refrigerant tube in the rear cavity thereby reducing the risk of sweating associated with the refrigerant tube being shifted close to the rear walls during foaming and eliminates an unsightly and spatial encumbering refrigerant tube protruding beyond the rear wall of the outer shell of the refrigerator cabinet.

Title: Article comprising a diffuser with flow control features
Inventor: KELLER DAVID
IPC: B05B5/025
Filed: 2000-11-10
Abstract: A diffuser (518) comprises a conduit having a cross-sectional area that increases in a direction fluid flow. In one embodiment, the diffuser is used  to reduce the incidence and severity of flow fluctuations that occur in an electrostatic deposition apparatus. In some embodiments, the diffuser includ es one or more flow control features. A first flow-control feature comprises on e or more appropriately-shaped annular slits (520) through which fluid having a greater momentum than a primary fluid moving through the diffuser is injecte d into the "boundary layer" near the wall of the diffuser. A second flow contr ol feature comprises one or more annular slits (548) or, alternatively, slots o r holes that are disposed at appropriate locations around the circumference of  the diffuser through which a portion of fluid flowing in the boundary layer is removed. Boundary-layer flow removal is effected, in one embodiment, by creating a pressure differential across such annular slit or slots. Among other benefits, such flow control features reduce any tendencies for flow separation of the primary fluid in the diffuser.
