Patent CA-2713250-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SMART BRANDEN J W
IPC: A41D13/11
Filed: 2010-08-25
Abstract: The Smart View Visor hockey face shield protection provides the clear sight through pre molded engineered air gaps that help avoid fog and moisture build up on the clear plastic or clear composite material visor. The air would flow through the visor and help avoid fog. The material of the visor would consist of a clear high density composite plastic. This product would allow the clearest sight advantage for sports players while protecting their eyes and faces from injuries.  Players who do not wear any facial protection due to impaired vision from fogging would wear this face shield as it is fog free. The fear of not being able to see due to depth perception problems with a non gapped shield would be eliminated. This design eliminates players constantly having to spray and wipe their visors clean. Helmets would be available in full and half face shields. The shield design can be modified to accommodate other sports shields such as lacrosse and football. The use of this product ranges from young children to professional players.

IPC: E21B43/38
Filed: 2008-02-06
Abstract: A gas-liquid separator (19) is disclosed, in particular for separating free water at a downhole position of a gas well. The separator (19) comprises a centrifugal separator (37) within a tubular portion (23) defining a gas inlet (27) and a gas outlet (29).  Upstream of the centrifugal separator (37), the tubular portion (23) is provided with a plurality of drain holes (47) through which free water which was centrifugated to the tubular portion (23) enters an annular duct (33) allowing the collected water to flow off due to gravity. Upstream of the drain holes (47), a jet pump (51 ) is arranged. The jet pump (51 ) is driven by the gas stream to create underpressure in the duct (33) and to suck back gas which has entered the annular duct (33) through the drain holes (47). The gas-liquid separator (19) has no moving parts and avoids monitoring or controlling of the separating process.

Title: Detection of bacteria belonging to the genus campylobacter by targeting cytolethal distending toxin
Inventor: YAMASAKI SHINJI
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2008-02-26
Abstract: Multiplex PCR primers that can amplify the cdt genes of C. jejuni, C. coli, and C. fetus in a bacterial species-specific manner were prepared. Multiplex PCR with the primers was assessed using Campylobacter bacteria, other cdt gene-positive bacteria, and representative bacteria responsible for enteric infection. As a result, the present inventors' multiplex PCR using cdtB amplification primers was proven to enable simultaneous detection of different Campylobacter bacteria with high specificity. The methods of the present invention can identify Campylobacter at the bacterial species level in a single manipulation even when domestic animals or humans are infected with different bacterial species of Campylobacter.

Abstract: A mechanical energy harvesting toothbrush may employ circuits and devices to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Such conversion can be done using piezoelectric devices to convert stresses and strains from bending of the toothbrush head and/or bristles during use, and can be done using electromagnetic generators involving passing a magnet through a coil to induce current. The resulting electric energy may be rectified, and stored in a storage device, such as a capacitor or rechargeable battery. A switching circuit may be configured to detect the level of energy stored in the storage device, and to close an electrical connection when a predetermined level of energy (e.g., a charge) has been reached. The predetermined level may cor-respond to a desired amount of brushing (e.g., taking into account stroke length and force, and the number of strokes), and the closing of the electrical connection may be used to power output devices when that desired amount of brushing has been reached.

Title: Fluidized-bed reactor and insert therefor
Inventor: GALLMETZER GEORG
IPC: C10J3/56
Filed: 2009-10-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a fluidized-bed reactor having a higher power density and to an exchangeable insert for said fluidized-bed reactor, which insert makes the higher power density possible. The supply and pre-heating of the fluidizing agent, especially air, to the fluidized bed is combined with the cooling of the reactor vessel wall owing to the preferably exchangeable insert in the fluidized-bed reactor. The "cold"  fluidizing agent is guided in at least one flow channel in the metal jacket surrounding the fluidized bed and is preheated and said channel and is then injected into the fluidized bed in an appropriate location. The reactor vessel wall is cooled by pre-heating the fluidizing agent. The desired and required values for cooling the reactor vessel and the desired pre-heating of the fluidizing agent can be adjusted by suitably selecting the parameters 'length' and 'volume' of the flow channels in the insert and the flow rate of the fluidizing agent in the flow channels. The insert is used for supplying the fluidizing agent and for cooling the reactor vessel, thereby eliminating the need for a separate cooling device for the reactor vessel and for lining the reactor vessel with refractory clay. The reactor vessel according to the invention is compact, has a high power density and small thermal masses.
