Patent CA-2561175-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHERER MARKUS
IPC: C08F265/10
Filed: 2005-02-24
Abstract: The invention relates to lubricating oil formulations comprising copolymers or graft copolymers produced by radically polymerising polymerisable monomers and, in addition comprising long-chain ethylenically unsaturated compounds containing alkyl, in particular acrylate or methacrylate substitutes provided with hydrogen-bridge donator functions. The monomer exhibiting a hydrogen-bridge donator property is contained, according to said invention, in the polymer backbone or in graft side branches. Apart from the polymers containing monomers provided with hydrogen-bridge donator functions, said invention relates to polymers containing monomers simultaneously carrying donator and acceptor functions. It was found that the hydrogen-bridge donator functions of a polymer, in particular a simultaneous availability of the hydrogen-bridge donator and acceptor functions produce the positive effects on the anti-wear protection and on a detergency and dispersancy action. The inventive polymers are suitable, in the form of additives, for lubricating oil formulations, for example for motor oils or hydraulic fluids exhibiting an improved anti-wear behaviour.

Patent CA-2570380-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LI ZIJUN
IPC: A61K8/02
Filed: 2005-01-19
Abstract: A cost effective process is provided for making stable, efficacious, amino acid and polyhydric alcohol free concentrated aqueous aluminum zirconium salt solutions. Absence of amino acid, low iron content and low trace metal impurity levels improve compatibility with fragrances and minimizes the probability of the product color change and possibly fabric staining significantly. The novel aluminum zirconium actives also minimize iron contribution to underarm area that supports growth of microflora which is responsible for axillary malodour by the biotransformation of nonodorous precursors present in perspiration. The astringent complexes of the present invention may be obtained in solution or dry powder form. As a result, the complexes are satisfactory for use in any of wide variety of conventional antiperspirant forms.

Patent CA-2574118-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YAMAMOTO HIROAKI
IPC: E05F15/689
Filed: 1999-08-03
Abstract: A clutch comprises a driving rotor (11; 52; 83; 202; 302) coupled to a driving source (2) such as a motor, and a driven rotor (12; 53; 85; 204; 303) directly engaged with the driving rotor. Both rotors are accommodated in a housing (13; 51; 82; 201; 301). A lock member (14; 54; 86; 119; 205; 304) comprised of rollers or balls is located between the driven rotor and the housing. When the driven rotor itself is rotated, the lock member is held between the driven rotor and the housing to block the rotation of the driven rotor relative to the housing. When the driving source rotates the driving rotor, the lock member is released from the held state to allow the driving rotor to rotate the driven rotor relative to the housing. Such a clutch can block the transmission of the rotation from the driven rotor to the driving rotor without fail, and can reduce the strength required to both rotors.

Title: Mass spectrometer
Inventor: GREEN MARTIN
IPC: H01J49/40
Filed: 2005-07-21
Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a segmented linear ion guide or ion trap. Ions are confined radially within the ion guide or ion trap by the application of an AC or RF voltage to the electrodes forming the ion guide or ion trap. A quadratic DC potential is applied along the axial length of the ion guide or ion trap in order to cause trapped ions to perform simple harmonic motion within the ion guide or ion trap. The frequency of the oscillations of the ions is detected using one or more inductive detectors.  The mass to charge ratio of the ions can then be determined from the determined frequency of oscillations.

Title: Inductive heating method with indicia sensing
Inventor: SABA MICHEL
IPC: G07F11/00
Filed: 2007-01-19
Abstract: Heating devices and methods which are particularly useful in vending machines for hot products. Products such as beverages contained in individual containers such as cans are rapidly heated to serving temperature by induction heating for delivery to a customer. Various types of products with different heating characteristics are rapidly heated without deleterious effects on the product by varying the power and timing of the inductive heating. The type of product is identified by indicia on the container which are automatically scanned prior to heating. The product containers may be agitated before, during and/or after heating to mix the contents and distribute heat evenly.  The containers are heated in a manner to safely heat the product without overheating or causing damage to the container. A power management protocol turns off non-essential components of the vending machine while the inductive heater is energized to permit the vending machine to operate on a standard 120 VAC, 15 A electrical circuit without overload.

Title: Improved sulfur oxide/nitrogen oxide trap system and method for the protection of nitrogen oxide storage reduction catalyst from sulfur poisoning
Inventor: EL MALKI EL MEKKI
IPC: F01N3/00
Filed: 2006-06-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved exhaust gas cleaning system and method for a combustion source comprising a hydrogen generation system, a sulfur oxides trap, and a nitrogen storage reduction (NSR) catalyst trap. The improved exhaust gas cleaning system and method of the present invention also provides for a water-gas-shift catalyst between the sulfur oxides trap and the NSR catalyst trap, and a clean-up catalyst downstream of the NSR  catalyst trap. The invention provides also a sulfur trap regenerable at moderate temperatures with rich pulses, rather than at high temperatures. The improved exhaust gas cleaning system of the present invention provides for the sulfur released from the sulfur trap to pass through the nitrogen oxide trap with no or little poisoning of NOx storage and reduction sites, which significantly improves NSR catalyst trap lifetime and performance to meet future emissions standards. The disclosed exhaust gas cleaning systems are suitable for use in internal combustion engines (e.g., diesel, gasoline, CNG) which operate with lean air/fuel ratios over most of the operating period.
