Patent CA-2232010-A1 (CA)
Title: Plastic channel for electrical wiring
Inventor: LHOTA THOMAS E
IPC: H02G3/04
Filed: 1998-03-13
Abstract: An  electrical  wire  support  assembly  for routing wire  along building  interior  structures includes  a  plurality  of  hangers  that  suspend electrical    wiring   from   building   interior structures.    The  hangers  are  fastened  to  the interior structures in a hanger row that follows a desired  wiring  path.    Each  hanger  includes  a slightly  trapezoidal  frame  section  integrally connected to a fastening flange. The hangers are shaped to support electrical wires strung through the frame sections and to allow elongated plastic cover sections to snap over the frame sections. The  cover  sections  conceal  and  protect  the electrical wiring.  C-shaped couplers fit collar-like around the joined ends of the cover sections and hold the cover sections together end-to-end. Each fastening flange includes fastener holes for receiving fasteners such as nails or screws.  Side walls  of  each  hanger  frame  section  include an integrally outwardly extending horizontal ridge. Side walls of each cover section each include a beveled upper edge and a horizontal groove.   The beveled edges  help initiate outward splaying of the  cover  side  walls  as  the  covers  are  being pushed  into  position  over  the  hanger  frame sections.   The grooves are shaped and positioned to allow the hanger frame section ridges to snap into the grooves,  securing the cover sections to the hanger frame sections.

Title: Dispositif servant a tenir un implant, une piece d'osteosynthese, une piece de renforcement associee, ou un instrument
Inventor: MUNDWILER ULRICH
IPC: A61C8/00
Filed: 1997-09-05
Abstract: Dispositif servant à tenir un implant (1), constitué d'un manchon de serrage (300) ainsi que d'un élément de manipulation.  Le manchon de serrage (300) sert à assurer un raccordement temporaire entre l'implant (1) et l'élément de manipulation.  La première extrémité du manchon de serrage (300) est poussée contre une saillie d'obturation (10) de l'implant positionné (1) de façon à être amovible.  L'embout de l'élément de manipulation peut être fixé à la seconde extrémité du manchon de serrage (300) de façon à être amovible.  L'implant (1) est tenu en fixant l'élément de manipulation au manchon de serrage (300) qui est déjà relié à l'implant.  Il en résulte un double raccordement d'obturation entre l'implant (1), le manchon de serrage (300) et l'élément de manipulation, permettant ainsi à l'implant (1) d'être transféré comme tel sans être touché.  Lorsque l'élément de manipulation est retiré de l'implant (1), seul le raccordement d'obturation entre l'implant (1) et le composant de manipulation peut être enlevé.  Le dispositif peut être particulièrement utile pour obtenir une ampoule stérile, simplifiant ainsi l'instrumentation et l'utilisation de l'ampoule durant l'implantation.

Title: Baking oven interior surfacing material and composition and process for coating the same
Inventor: JAREMA CHESTER P
IPC: F24C15/00
Filed: 1996-10-15
Abstract: A mixture of two stabilizers, one including benzene rings bearing hydroxyl substituents and the other containing divalent sulfur atoms, is effective in stabilizing tacky polymers that remain solid up to a temperature of at least 160 ~C, particularly polymers of isobutylene, so that the polymers give long service in the ambient atmosphere as protective layers coated on aluminum substrates and used to line the interiors of paint baking ovens. When accumulated foreign materials accumulate on the coatings, the coating and the accumulated foreign materials can be decomposed to largely volatile products by heating to a temperature substantially higher than the service temperature but not high enough to melt the metal substrate for the coating.

Title: Method and apparatus to determine and control the carbon content of steel in a bof vessel
Inventor: ALOK SHARAN
IPC: C21C5/46
Filed: 1996-09-06
Abstract: Apparatus for determining in-blow % carbon content and/or the First Turn Down Carbon of a BOF heat includes a light sensor housed within a temperature regulated case having a sighting window including air wipe means to shield the light sensor from steelmaking dust and fume. The apparatus also includes a means to generate a signal that corresponds to the amount of oxygen blown into the BOF during a heat, and a programmable logic controller. The logic controller is programmed to continuously process oxygen blown signals from the signal generating means, and light intensity signals received from the light sensor. The program calculates continuous in-blow % carbon content of the heat based upon the difference in light intensity from a point of maximum light intensity emitted from the BOF vessel in relation to the amount of oxygen blown into the BOF vessel durng the same period of time.

Title: Method for prioritizing cell streams in systems which transmit information by an asynchronous transfer mode (atm)
Inventor: BRIEM UWE
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1996-12-04
Abstract: In up-to-date ATM switching systems, information is transmitted in cells by the WEIGHTED FAIR QUEUING      SCHEDULING method. In order to be able to use connection sections particularly efficiently, according to the invention the cell streams are prioritized on the basis of this known method. This is achieved in that the weighting factors allocated to a first quantity of cell streams are selected such that they differ very much more than the weighting factors allocated to the remaining quantity of cell streams.

Title: Apparatus for producing fine snow particles from a flow of liquid carbon dioxide
Inventor: SIMAS LUIS
IPC: C01B32/55
Filed: 1998-07-13
Abstract: A system for producing a flow of fine snow particles includes a conduit for providing a pressurized flow of a cryogenic liquid and a nozzle coupled to the conduit, the nozzle having an outlet and an inlet pathway in communication with the conduit.  An expansion member is positioned within the nozzle and covers the inlet pathway.  The expansion member provides multiple fine channels for passage of the cryogenic fluid into a region of lower pressure, thereby enabling expansion of the cryogenic fluid during passage through the expansion member.          In a preferred embodiment, the cryogenic fluid is carbon dioxide and the system parameters are set to enable the cryogenic fluid to enter a solid phase at or near the outlet surface of the expansion member and to exit therefrom as a fine snow particulate.

Title: Process for scavenging thiols
Inventor: KARIMIAN KHASHAYAR
IPC: C07C321/20
Filed: 1997-02-26
Abstract: Thiols are trapped, and converted to disulfide compounds, by a process of reacting them with compounds containing a 1,2,4-thiadiazole ring structure carrying a substituent at position 3 of the thiadiazole ring, and being unsubstituted at position N-2. The process is useful pharmacologically, in inhibiting certain thiol-containing enzymes such as H+/K+-ATPase (the proton pump), and industrially, in selective removal of thiol compounds from gas or liquid mixtures.

Title: Apparatus and method for leak detection
Inventor: LOMPE HEINRICH
IPC: G01M3/22
Filed: 1997-03-25
Abstract: An apparatus and a method for detecting and locating leaks in a nuclear plant, in particular a pipeline in a nuclear plant, include a collection line which is permeable to a substance to be detected and which communicates with a pump and with a sensor for the substance. The sensor has a detector for detecting the radioactivity of the substance or a branch line which communicates with a detector for detecting radioactivity branches off upstream of the sensor. If a radioactive substance reaches the collection line and penetrates it, then the location of the leak can be determined from the period of time between a pressure surge in the collection line and a response of the detector, given a known flow speed in the collection line.

Title: Method and apparatus for desulfurizing fuel gas
Inventor: LESIEUR ROGER R
IPC: H01M8/06
Filed: 1997-05-27
Abstract: Sulfur and sulfur compounds are removed from a gas stream, such as a hydrocarbon fuel gas stream so as to render the gas stream suitable for use in a fuel cell power plant. Natural gas and recycled hydrogen enters the hydrodesulfurizer assembly at a temperature of about 120 ~F. The gas stream is heated to a temperature of about 625 ~F whereupon it enters a desulfurizing bed (44) formed from a mixture of platinum catalyst deposited on alumina pellets (46) and a pelletized zinc oxide hydrogen sulfide absorbent (48). The gas is cooled to an exit temperature of about 525 ~F as it passes through the desulfurizer bed. The desulfurizer bed is combined with a shift converter (6) which reduces carbon monoxide in the desulfurized gas stream after the latter has passed through a steam reformer bed.
