Patent CA-2568681-A1 (CA)
Title: Gate valve with offset valve stem
Inventor: HARDER WERNER
IPC: F16K3/314
Filed: 2006-11-23
Abstract: An improved gate valve has a main body defining a flow passage, and a cylindrical gate member, which has a continuous seal disposed within a groove in the gate surface. The gate is actuated by a valve stem movable through a bonnet connected to the main body, with the longitudinal axis of the stem being offset from the longitudinal axis of the gate. The inner end of the stem is retainingly received in a recessed slot in the gate such that the valve stem can rotate relative to the gate and such that longitudinal movement of the stem will cause corresponding movement of the gate. The offset between the stem and gate axes keeps the gate in the same orientation relative to the gate chamber regardless of the gate's longitudinal position.

Inventor: SUMMERTON JAMES
IPC: B01D61/24
Filed: 2005-09-22
Abstract: A dual-stage system and methods for using the same include first and second filtration cartridges is provided and is particularly suited for hemodiafiltration and/or hemodialysis. As fluid enters the first filtration cartridge, the hydroxyl ion concentration and hence pH is increased by exposing it to either a strong base or a salt of a weak acid across a filter membrane. This stage allows for improved removal of certain toxins in the fluid, such as protein-bound substances that disassociate more readily from proteins at higher pH. As the filtered fluid enters the second filtration cartridge, the pH of the fluid is restored to normal levels prior to infusion to a patient.

Title: Channel estimation enhanced lms equalizer
Inventor: PIETRASKI PHILIP J
IPC: H03H7/40
Filed: 2006-03-16
Abstract: The present invention is related to an enhanced equalizer using channel estimation. A scaled version of a channel estimate is used as an expected average behavior of the product of a transmitted signal and a received signal to implement Griffith algorithm. The present invention also uses advance or prediction of a channel estimate to overcome the lag problem inherent in a least means square (LMS) algorithm in a time varying channel. Therefore, the present invention enables the use of a small step size while attaining the same tracking capability with a large step size. A channel estimate at some time in the future is used for updating equalizer filter tap coefficients.  This may be performed with a prediction filter. Alternatively, a delay may be introduced in the input data to the filter tap coefficient generator, which makes a channel estimate look like a prediction to the filter tap coefficient generator.
