Patent CA-2419517-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAKAMURA KAZUHIKO
IPC: B05B1/20
Filed: 2003-02-21
Abstract: A wide slit nozzle having a slit as a discharge opening for a coating material is provided. The slit has a first thickness at a lateral center part and a second thickness at opposite lateral end parts. The second thickness of the lateral end part is sot smaller than the first thickness at the lateral center part. The first thickness of the lateral center part is fined. The second, thickness of the lateral end part changes linearly from opposite lateral ends of the lateral center part to the opposite lateral ends of the slit. For example, the slit has dimensions: x=15mm, y=14mm, .alphaØ3mm and .beta.=0.6mm. Consequently, an entire length or an entire width of the slit 2 is 15+14 × 2=43mm. However, the coating material is discharged from the slit while applied with pressure, so that the coating material is coated while expanded wider than the width of the slit. The coating material is discharged at 7 liter per minute, and a coating width of the first example is 100mm, for example. A thickness increase of the overlapped part is +25% every when a width, or an overlapped margin z of the overlapped part is 10mm or 20mm.

Patent CA-2438457-A1 (CA)
Title: Oxygen concentrator system with altitude compensation
Inventor: BYRD GARY
IPC: A61M16/10
Filed: 2003-08-27
Abstract: An oxygen concentrator system with altitude compensation includes at least one oxygen concentrator sub-system and a plenum subsystem. The at least one oxygen concentrator sub-system produces oxygen-enriched air which is outputted to both the oxygen concentrator system output and to a plenum chamber within the plenum subsystem. The plenum chamber is trickle charged with the oxygen-enriched air when the at least one oxygen concentrator sub-system produces an excess amount of oxygen-enriched air. Should the demand for oxygen-enriched air exceed the capability of the at least one oxygen concentrator sub-system, additional oxygen-enriched air is provided by the plenum chamber until such time that the capability of the at least one oxygen concentrator sub-system exceeds the demand for oxygen-enriched air. At that time, oxygen-enriched air is no longer provided by the plenum chamber but rather the plenum chamber is again trickle charged. A monitor/controller having an absolute pressure transducer controls the cycle times of the oxygen concentrator subsystem in accordance with an ambient barometric pressure measured by the absolute pressure transducer.
