Title: Method and apparatus for washing a fibrous mat
Inventor: CUSHING ERNEST W
IPC: B08B3/00
Filed: 1997-02-07
Abstract: Washing of a fibrous mat, including both rinsing and drying steps and apparatus, occurs within an enclosure receiving a source of aqueous solution and mounting the fibrous mat rotationally therein.  While water jet streams produce a first rotational force, a second rotational force, such as by hand crank or electric motor, of greater magnitude moves the mat in a direction opposite that of the water jet streams to produce significant relative velocity between the mat and the water jet streams.  Following rinsing, a drying step includes rotating the mat to drive water therefrom.

Title: Switchable fiber optic device for fiber transmission system and components thereof
Inventor: YADLOWSKY MICHAEL
IPC: H04B10/18
Filed: 1997-04-01
Abstract: A fiber optic device for use in fiber optic transmission systems and components thereof includes a pass-through fiber and one or more lengths of circulating fiber connected to the pass-through fiber by respective optical switches for selectively routing an optical signal through the circulating fiber lengths as it propagatesalong the pass-through fiber. The circulating fiber lengths are either dispersion compensating fibers or fibers doped with a substance that will amplify or absorbthe optical signal in the respective presence or absence of a pump signal. The invention thus allows various amounts of dispersion or gain (absorption) to be selectively switched into or out of use depending upon requirements at the time.For example, an amplifying component could serve as a pre- or power- or in-line amplifier device depending on the lesser or greater amount of gain fiber electedby switching. The device can be interconnected with the transmission system or components thereof via splicing to of the ends of the pass-through fiber or via optical switches connected to the ends of the pass through fiber.

Patent CA-2207350-A1 (CA)
Title: Gain controller
Inventor: KAKU TOMOYA
IPC: H03G3/30
Filed: 1997-06-09
Abstract: An automatic gain controller controls the gain of a variable-gain amplifier based on an error signal which is corrected by a correction controller using discrete characteristic data which are sampled from a gain control characteristic of the variable-gain amplifier in sampling steps each being set depending on a variation of the gain control characteristic. The correction controller corrects the error signal based on continuous characteristic data generated from the discrete characteristic data stored in the memory so that the gain control characteristic of the variable-gain amplifier is substantially linear with respect to the error signal.

Title: Method of papermaking having zero liquid discharge
Inventor: HOFFMAN ROGER P
IPC: D21B1/32
Filed: 1995-08-29
Abstract: A method of papermaking having zero liquid discharge. A cellulosic pulp composed of either virgin or recycled materials is initially cleaned, the cleaned pulp is then washed and the washed pulp is then utilized in the papermaking process. The contaminants are separated from the liquid residue resulting from the pulp cleaning operation (3), preferably by floatation clarification (4), and the effluent from the clarification is evaporated to produce steam along with an evaporated residue. The evaporated residue is combined with the suspended solids and the combined residue is then subjected to a mechanical dewatering operation (5) so that the dewatered material can then be either landfilled or incinerated. The condensate from the evaporation is combined with fresh water and used in the papermaking process (9) and water recovered from the papermaking process (9) is recycled to the washing operation (8). Water recovered from the washing operation (8) can be recycled to the pulp cleaning (3) and pulping operations (1).

Abstract: A remote control system for a vehicle includes a controller for learning a unique code of a remote transmitter to define a learned remote transmitter capable of causing performance of a function associated with the vehicle, for example. The controller performs remote transmitter verification to generate an indication relating to whether a new uniquely coded remote transmitter has been learned by the controller. The remote control system is advantageously used, in one embodiment, for a vehicle security system. Transmitter verification may also be incorporated in a remote keyless entry system, remote engine starting system, and a door access system, for example. In one embodiment, the remote transmitter verification is based upon the controller being recently entered into the remote transmitter learning mode. According to another embodiment, the remote transmitter verification is based upon a number of learned remote transmitters, a change in that number, or a change in a learned code of a remote transmitter. The indication may be provided at the vehicle or remote therefrom by any of a light, a visual display, a vibration transducer, a speech message generator, and an audible signal generator, for example. The indication may be activated in response to an input or condition at the vehicle or remote therefrom. For example, the number of learned remote transmitters may be indicated by operating a valet switch of the security system in a predetermined pattern.
Patent CA-2221141-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HEPFORD RICHARD R
IPC: D21F11/14
Filed: 1996-06-06
Abstract: A method of making a bonded and creped type absorbent paper web that has improved bulk and peel strength characteristics includes steps of: (a) printing a low density pattern of a bonding material onto a first and a second side of a paper web; and (b) in no particular sequence with respect to step (a), printing a high density pattern of a bonding material onto the first side of the paper web. Steps (a) and (b) are performed so that the high density pattern of bonding material penetrates into the paper web by a distance that is about 166 to about 470 percent of the distance by which the low density pattern of bonding material penetrates into the web. This results in a web that has superior bulk and peel strength characteristics. Another characteristic of the product is that it has a visible depression pattern in one surface, but not the other surface, which creates an attractive aesthetic effect and has functional benefits as well.
Patent CA-2224988-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GERIYS SALEEM N
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 1996-06-04
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un ventilateur haute fréquence à hélice dont l'hélice rotative est fixée par son arbre axial à la base d'une chambre de ventilation. La chambre présente des orifices distincts pour l'entrée d'air ou d'oxygène pressurisé et d'autres orifices pour expulser les gaz exhalés, riches en dioxyde de carbone dégagé par les poumons. L'utilisation d'un ventilateur haute fréquence à hélice fait que c'est la rotation de l'hélice qui assure les échanges gazeux entre les poumons et l'atmosphère. Cette rotation crée une zone de dépression autour du centre de l'hélice (à l'écart des poumons), simulant ainsi l'expiration des gaz depuis les poumons. La rotation des bras de l'hélice produit également des ondes gazeuses hélicoïdales progressant de l'hélice vers le pourtour de la chambre et, vers les poumons, via le raccord de la chambre de ventilation et le tube endotrachéal introduit dans la trachée, simulant ainsi l'inspiration de gaz dans les poumons. On conserve une distension appropriée des poumons en maintenant à l'intérieur du système un niveau prédéfini de surpression en procédant à l'obstruction intermittente des orifices d'expiration de la paroi de la chambre de ventilation. Des appareils de surveillance associés à la chambre permettent de surveiller et de mesurer la température, l'humidité et la pression à l'intérieur de la chambre.
