Title: Method of scrubbing lower mass sulfides with a sulfide scrubbing medium capable of regeneration
Inventor: TUPPER LORNE ALVIN
IPC: C01B17/05
Filed: 2003-07-03
Abstract: A method of scrubbing lower mass sulfides with a sulfide scrubbing medium capable of regeneration. The sequential order of gas flow through three vessels is altered. A first of the three vessels is maintained in a scrubbing mode, scrubbing to breakthrough sulphur from the gas that passes through it. A second of the three vessels is maintained in a conditioning mode. Sulfide scrubbing medium in the vessel removes any residue of sulphur from the gas while being conditioned by such limited exposure to sulphur. A third of the three vessels is maintained in a regeneration mode. Saturated sulfide scrubbing medium in the vessel removes excess oxygen from the gas while being regenerated by such exposure to oxygen.

Title: Method for preventing warpage of gel plates during sintering
Inventor: COLBERN STEVEN
IPC: C04B35/624
Filed: 2001-12-18
Abstract: A new method is disclosed for producing thin plates by sintering a thin gel plate (e.g., silica) made using a sol-gel process, which substantially eliminates warpage of the plate during the sintering step. Sintering a sol-g el based silica plate to a dense glass typically causes significant shrinkage, and this can cause the plate to curl, especially around its edges. This phenomenon is referred to as warpage. In the method of the invention, the sintering step is performed while the gel plate is mounted on a support surface, separated by a thin layer of refractory powder. At the high sinteri ng temperature, the powder partially fuses and sticks to both the gel plate and the support surface, which prevents non-uniform stresses in the gel plate fr om warping the plate.

Title: Foot orthotic for supporting an arch of a foot, and related methods
Inventor: LIETZMAN FREDERICK
IPC: A43B17/02
Filed: 2003-09-03
Abstract: An orthotic that supports the arch of a foot during and after extensive use and is flexible to allow a person to comfortably walk and/or run is provided. The orthotic comprises a bottom surface including a mid-plantar region having a perimeter that includes a front portion, a rear portion opposite the front portion, a left side portion and a right side portion opposite the left side portion, and a plurality of longitudinal and lateral ribs in the mid-plantar region. Each longitudinal rib extends toward the front and rear portions of the perimeter but not across the mid-plantar region. Each lateral rib extends from a respective longitudinal rib toward one of the side portions of the perimeter. To reduce the stress concentrated in the intersections of the longitudinal ribs with the lateral ribs when the mid-plantar region is flexed, the angle formed between the longitudinal and lateral ribs may be greater than 90° or the ribs may be curved. Thus, the orthotic may be made flexible to provide comfort while walking, running or performing other physical activities, and strong to support a foot during and after much use.

Abstract: L'invention a pour objectif d'éliminer les inconvénients des poudres de pullulane produites selon des techniques classiques, telles que les poudres sujettes à la séparation lorsqu'elles sont mélangées à des sucres non réducteurs contenant du glucose comme sucre constituant, sous forme de poudre, difficilement solubles dans l'eau. L'invention concerne la production d'une poudre contenant du pullulane, cette poudre présentant une vitesse de dissolution élevée. Le procédé selon l'invention consiste à élaborer une poudre contenant du pullulane comme composant principal, des sucres non réducteurs contenant du glucose comme sucre constituant et du pullulane à l'état homogène, puis à moudre cette composition et à recueillir la poudre. L'invention concerne également un procédé de production associé, ainsi que l'utilisation de ladite poudre. La poudre contenant du pullulane selon l'invention ne peut en aucun cas être sujette à une séparation du pullulane des sucres non réducteurs contenant du glucose comme sucre constituant. Cette poudre présente donc une vitesse de dissolution améliorée dans l'eau, sans que cela nuise à sa résistance à l'humidité.
