Patent CA-2238282-A1 (CA)
Title: Heat exchanger fin with efficient material utilization
Inventor: LIM ALEXANDER T
IPC: F28F1/32
Filed: 1996-08-19
Abstract: A heat exchanger (10) including a heat exchanger conduit and fins arranged on the conduit tubes (12, 12') to further heat transfer between the external fluid flowing over the fins (22, 22') and the fluid flowing within the conduit. The fins (22, 22') include a row of apertures through which tubes (12, 12') of the heat exchanger conduit extend. The leading (46) and trailing edges (48) of the fins (22, 22') are contoured to substantially conform to isotherms around the circulating fluid flowing within the tubes (12, 12'). To achieve this edge configuration while also allowing for a dense packing of fins and tubes in a multi-row heat exchanger, the leading and trailing edges are wave shaped such that adjacent fins can interfit together.

Title: Processus de production de titane ou d'autres metaux a partir d'alliages navettes
Inventor: FORTIN CLAUDE
IPC: C22B19/00
Filed: 1997-09-23
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un processus de production de métaux à partir d'oxydes au moyen d'alliages navettes, en particulier, du titane provenant de blanc de titane sous forme d'ilménite, de rutile. Le processus peut être adapté à la production d'un métal élémentaire ou d'alliages de métaux tel que du zirconium, du chrome, du molybdène, du tungstène, du tantale, du lithium, du cobalt et du zinc. Le processus de ladite invention comporte deux étapes: une première étape dans laquelle un oxyde de métal est réduit en présence d'un matériau navette primaire formant avec le métal réduit un alliage navette et une seconde étape dans laquelle le métal réduit est séparé de l'alliage navette sous forme de métal ou d'alliage. Généralement, le matériau navette primaire comporte du bismuth, de l'antimoine ou un mélange des deux et éventuellement du plomb. La réaction de réduction peut être exécutée par des moyens chimiques ou électrochimiques ou une combinaison des deux. Le processus permet de lier les deux étapes et d'exécuter ledit processus en continu de sorte que l'énergie récupéré de la deuxième étape peut être transférée à la première. L'énergie est alors utilisée pour provoquer la réduction de l'oxyde de métal ou d'autres réactions telles que la décarbonisation du carbonate de calcium utilisé comme agent de fusion. L'adjonction de métal tel que de la silice au processus permet de faciliter la récupération de sous-produits tels que des ciments alumineux.

Title: A lactoferrin tablet
Inventor: KUDO TSUTOMU
IPC: A61K35/745
Filed: 1998-01-08
Abstract: Lactoferrin tablets containing as the active ingredients lactoferrin and lactulose and having a horizontal hardness of at least 4 kg and a vertical hardness of at least 3 kg; and lactoferrin tablets containing as the active ingredients a microbial cell powder of at least one microorganism selected from among actic acid bacteria, lactoferrin and lactulose and having a horizontal hardness of at least 4 kg and a vertical hardness of at least 3 kg. These tablets can be produced by using the conventional tableting apparatuses and yet have high hardness. Thus they do not adhere to the inner wall of the oral cavity and have a favorable taste. Since no excessive tableting pressure is needed in the production process, moreover, these tablets can contain much viable cells of lactic acid bacteria, though they are in the form of rigid tablet.
