Title: Comminution device and method for comminuting residue in a dishwasher
Inventor: EIERMANN RUEDIGER
IPC: A47L15/42
Filed: 2005-06-30
Abstract: A dishwashing machine including a comminution device and a method for comminuting residue in the dishwasher. The comminution device at minimal manufacturing costs, makes it possible to easily comminute the coarse contaminants or residue accumulating during the rinse cycle in the dishwashing machine, flush it out of the dishwasher and at the same time reduce the danger of clogging the sieve(s) placed in the dishwasher. The comminution device preferably is actuated by the lye pump of the dishwashing machine. In this manner the comminution device is actuated easily and efficiently, which both enables cost-effective manufacture of the dishwashing machine, and improves its operating safety and ease of maintenance. In the process the rinse residue can first collect during the rinse cycle in uncomminuted form on the floor of the rinsing container and only then be comminuted when the washing liquid is pumped out and flushed out of the dishwashing machine.

Title: Osmotic pump with means for dissipating internal pressure
Inventor: DAVIS CRAIG R
IPC: A61K9/22
Filed: 2004-03-31
Abstract: The present invention includes an osmotic pump that includes a means for venting an osmotic composition included in the pump before the internal pressure of the pump has the opportunity to build to such an extent that the pump is structurally compromised, such as when one or more components of the pump are physically separated.

Title: Method of obtaining para-xylene
Inventor: MILLER JEFFREY T
IPC: C07C15/08
Filed: 2004-02-19
Abstract: Disclosed herein is an improved method for making and obtaining para-xylene from a mixture of xylene isomers, and various embodiments of the method. The method generally includes contacting a mixture comprising xylene isomers and ethylbenzene with a para-xylene selective adsorbent to obtain a para-xylene depleted raffinate, and a desorption effluent comprising a para-xylene enriched product. The method also includes isomerizing the paraxylene depleted raffinate.

Patent CA-2529024-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLASCO CLARET JORGE VICENTE
IPC: H04L12/801
Filed: 2004-05-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of releasing transmitted data by means of reception or transmission recognition, consisting in storing the data transmitted to different users. According to the invention, each communication is configured with transmission recognition, whereby a signal is generated for the release of the transmitted data upon termination of the transmission, or reception recognition, whereby recognition confirmation is awaited from the receiver before the release of the data. The invention is characterised by the distinction between the transmission time and the reception time. The invention is further characterised in that the decisions to retransmit data or to release data, for lack of recognition at reception, are taken knowing that the user has had the opportunity to transmit a recognition during the time assigned to the receiver.

Title: Linked gaming machines having a common feature controller
Inventor: PIECHOWIAK ROBERT J
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 1995-02-21
Abstract: The preferred embodiment of the present invention operates on a system of interconnected gaming machines. In a normal operation mode, the individual machines provide awards to individual players based on the generation of symbol combinations in a first group of symbol combinations. The linked gaming machines are polled by a feature controller to determine whether symbol combinations in a second group of combinations are generated. These symbol combinations in the second group of combinations are accumulated until a level is reached such that a bonus award will be given to the next player whose machine generates a symbol combination within said second group of symbol combinations. The first machine to generate a winning symbol combination within said second group of symbol combinations is given a bonus award. The feature is then reset. The status of the feature is displayed for all players of the linked gaming machines.

Title: Improved production plunger
Inventor: SCHNEIDER GLENN
IPC: F04B47/12
Filed: 2006-06-09
Abstract: A production plunger that automatically reciprocates in a production string of a well to remove formation fluid from the well. The production plunger makes a sealing contact with the production string and includes a passage through which all formation fluid is caused to flow through. The passage includes a valve that operates automatically in response to pressure within the production string to open and close the passage to allow and stop formation fluid from flowing in the passage. The plunger includes a locking device to ensure the plunger does not short cycle and a fail safe mechanism ensuring the valve closes in case of plunger failure, or upon a minimal build up of pressure by shutting in the well. Further, the entire valve is enclosed in the plunger preventing damage to valve elements from impacting downhole equipment, and the plunger includes fluid ports positioned so as not to easily capture well solids.
