IPC: A61M1/12
Filed: 2001-10-09
Abstract: A system for pumping or mixing a fluid F using a levitating, rotating pumping or mixing element 812 and various other components for use in a pumping or mixing system are disclosed. The pumping or mixing element 812 is placed in a fluid-containing vessel 810 in close proximity to a superconducting element 818. A cooling source thermally linked to the superconducting element 818 provides the necessary cooling to induce levitation in the pumping or mixing element 812. The superconducting element 818 may be thermally isolated, such that the pumping or mixing element 812, the vessel 810, and any fluid F  contained therein are not exposed to the cold temperatures required to produce the desired superconductive effects and the resulting levitation. By using means external to the vessel to rotate and/or stabilize the pumping or mixing element 812 levitating in the fluid F, including possibly rotating the superconducting elements 818 itself or moving it relative to the vessel 810, the desired effective pumping or mixing action may be provided.

Patent CA-2428495-A1 (CA)
Title: Arcuate-tube-type coriolis flow meter and method for determining shape of the same
Inventor: GOMI SHINGO
IPC: G01F1/84
Filed: 2002-06-25
Abstract: Each of two flow tubes assumes an arcuate shape consisting of a central arcuate segment and two linear segments located on opposite sides of the central arcuate segment. The inside diameter of the flow tubes and the linear distance between end points of each of the flow tubes are determined on the basis of a target pressure loss arising from passage of a fluid to be measured through a manifold and the flow tube at the maximum flow rate, a target time phase difference between sine wave outputs from vibration sensors at the maximum flow rate, and a target natural frequency of the flow tubes. The length of the linear segments is selected so as to reduce thermal stress induced from an abrupt change in the temperature of the fluid to be measured, and the shape of the flow tubes is determined so as to reduce the vertical height of the flow tubes, so long as the thermal stress is substantially constant even when the length of the linear segments is varied. Thus, the shape of the flow tubes is determined in such a manner as to suppress, to a predetermined low value, stress arising upon abrupt change in the temperature of the fluid to be measured and as to be most compact.

Title: Mast and method of manufacturing a structural member for a boat
Inventor: COUNTOURIS PAUL
IPC: B29C70/30
Filed: 2003-07-21
Abstract: A mast for a sailboat and a method of manufacturing the mast or other structural member for a boat, which is produced in a female mold. Any augmentation of the deflection resistance of the structural member is provided by fabric-resin fabric added to the interior surfaces of the until the desired deflection characteristics are achieved. The mast is formed from at least two parts, which in the preferred embodiment are joined together by seam anchor strips, preferably in conjunction with a fabric-resin insert that overlays the interior of the seam strip and extends over a portion of the mast half body. If additional fabric-resin fabric is required after testing, it can be added to the inside surfaces of the mast parts before the trailing seam is sealed. The structural member of the invention accordingly requires no external finishing, and the appearance, taper and aerodynamic characteristics thereof are fully determined by the mold, resulting in a consistently accurate, uniform and aesthetically pleasing product that is considerably less expensive to produce than a conventional fabric-resin structural member and substantially stronger than a comparable aluminum structural member.
