Patent CA-2339464-C (CA)
Title: Refiner disk sensor and sensor refiner disk
Inventor: WULF TIMOTHY L
IPC: B02C7/04
Filed: 2001-03-07
Granted: 2007-01-23
Abstract: A sensor, sensor disk, sensor measurement correction system, and method used in measuring a parameter in the refining zone. The sensor includes a spacer that spaces its sensing element from the disk. In one preferred embodiment, the spacer is made of an insulating material that insulates the sensing element from the thermal mass of the disk to prevent the thermal mass from affecting sensor measurement. The sensor includes a housing carried by the spacer that, in turn, carries the sensing element. Where the sensing element is a temperature sensing element, the housing is thermally conductive and the housing and spacer enclose the sensing element. Each sensor is disposed in the refining surface, preferably in its own separate bore in the disk and flush with or below axial refiner bar height. Signals from one or more sensors are processed by a processing device linked to a module containing calibration data that is applied to make sensor measurements more accurate.  The module holds calibration data from sensors that are precalibrated before the sensor disk in which they are assembled is shipped, along with the module, to a fiber processing plant where the disk is installed in a refiner and the module connected to the processing device. In one preferred embodiment the sensor or sensors are carried by a sensor module that can be a removable segment of a refiner disk.

Title: Electrocatheter for inducing vessel stenosys having two arrays of diverging electrodes
Inventor: JONES CHRISTOPHER S
IPC: A61B17/22
Filed: 1999-08-20
Granted: 2010-08-10
Abstract: A catheter includes a first plurality of expandable leads (100) and a second plurality of expandable leads (102) separate and longitudinally spaced-apart from the first plurality to deliver energy to a hollow anatomical structure, such as vein, fallopian tube, hemorrhoid, esophageal varix, to effectively ligate that structure. Each of the leads includes an electrode located at the distal end of the respective electrode lead. Polarizations of the leads may be selected to achieve the power distribution desired. Each electrode lead includes an outward bend such that when a movable sheath (108) is moved out of contact with the leads, they expand outwardly into apposition with an inner wall of the structure to be ligated. High frequency energy can be applied from the leads to create a heating effect in the surrounding tissue of the anatomical structure. The diameter of the hollow anatomical structure is reduced by the heating effect, and the electrodes are freely moved inward by the shrinking structure while still maintaining apposition with the inner wall of the shrinking structure.

Title: Insert coupling
Inventor: SCHILT PIET
IPC: F16L37/092
Filed: 2001-03-12
Granted: 2008-11-18
Abstract: An insert coupling for connecting a flexible pipe section to another part comprises a housing with a first cylindrical bore, a sealing ring, which is effective between the flexible pipe section and the cylindrical bore, a clamping bush with a cylindrical inner surface, which in the region near the insertion side is followed by a conical part, and a clamping ring, accommodated in the clamping bush and provided with at least one radially inward projecting tooth. The conical part of the clamping bush by way of the clamping ring exerts a clamping force on the flexible pipe section when a load occurs on the flexible pipe section in the axial direction towards the insertion side. The clamping ring is formed as a ring cut through substantially in the axial direction at one point.

Abstract: Les mécanismes d'entraînement hydrauliques nécessitent des groupes moto-pompes compacts et performants. Pour ce faire, un moteur électrique et au moins une pompe sont, dans la mesure du possible, intégrés dans un même appareil. Cela présente cependant l'inconvénient que l'on ne peut intégrer au moteur qu'un seul type spécifique de pompe. Le moteur électrique selon l'invention permet de raccorder facilement différents types de pompes au moteur électrique sans pour autant renoncer aux avantages des groupes classiques, notamment au refroidissement et à la lubrification par liquide inhérents au moteur électrique. En effet, l'enveloppe du carter de moteur est, au moins partiellement, creuse pour recevoir un liquide de refroidissement et au moins un canal de raccordement, prévu dans les extrémités palier, est destiné à l'alimentation en liquide de refroidissement de la cavité de l'enveloppe jusqu'aux paliers.
