Patent CA-2364732-A1 (CA)
Title: Binary foaming drain cleaner
Inventor: CHUNG JESSICA Y
IPC: C11D1/94
Filed: 2001-12-06
Abstract: A composition is provided comprising two liquids which are separately maintained prior to forming an admixture during delivery to a surface to be treated, whereupon the admixture generates a foam sufficient for cleaning efficacy and stability. A first liquid preferably includes a hypohalite, or a hypohalite generating agent and a second liquid preferably includes a peroxygen agent. The first liquid is thickened to a specified rheology, resulting in the generation of a highly effective foam. As the two liquids are initially separated, the hypohalite generating agent can be maintained in an environment free of peroxygen agent and otherwise conducive to their cleaning activity and stability up to the time of use. When the two liquids are allowed to mix, for example, by simultaneously pouring into a drain, the hypohalite and peroxygen react to liberate oxygen gas. As foam generation occurs, the escaping gas contacts surfactant in the solution, and creates foam which expands to completely fill the drain pipe. The expanded foam contains an excess of the hypohalite, which acts to clean the drain.

Title: Apparatus for providing variable control of the gain of an rf amplifier
Inventor: POULTON MATTHEW
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 2001-12-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing remote control of the output power level of an amplifier. The method uses pulse width or pulse density modulated signal proportional to the power level of the amplifier. This signal is detected and filtered to provide a control voltage to the apparatus mentioned below. The apparatus includes an amplifier, and a comparator having a first input coupled to an output terminal of the amplifier, a second input coupled to a control signal, and an output terminal coupled to an input terminal of the amplifier. The amplifier and comparator operate to form a feedback loop which functions to equalize the voltage level of an output signal present at the output terminal of the amplifier to the voltage level of the control signal. The equalization of the voltage level of the output signal of the amplifier to the voltage level of the control signal is effected by adjusting the drain current flowing through the amplifier. Accordingly, by varying the voltage level of the control signal, the power level of the output signal of the amplifier can be varied.
