Patent CA-2511345-A1 (CA)
Title: Apparatus and method for displaying numeric values corresponding to the volume of segments of an irregularly shaped item
Inventor: WARGON KENNETH
IPC: G01B11/245
Filed: 2003-12-23
Abstract: An apparatus and method for displaying the weight or cost of segments of an irregularly shaped item involves passing a sensor bar supported above a supporting surface over the item lying on the surface. A compact hand-held embodiment of the sensor bar enables the operator to move the sensor bar in various linear or non-linear motions over the item surface as the sensor bar moves laterally across the item surface while the sensor bar support posts remain in constant contact with the supporting surface. The sensor bar contains one or more sensors which generate signals corresponding to the height of the item as the sensor bar traverses the item. At the same time, a displacement detector arrangement generates signals corresponding to displacement of the sensor bar relative to the support surface. These signals are processed in a signal processor to determine the volume of an uncut segment of the item lying behind the sensor bar at successive positions. Each of these cumulative volume determinations may be continuously converted into numeric weight values based on the density factor for the particular type of item, whereby numeric weight and cost values (based on weight) are continuously displayed as the sensor bar is stroked over the item, thus enabling the operator to accommodate an on-looking consumer's specific requests as per the particular portion desired based on the physical appearance, weight, and cost of an item before the item is cut.

Title: An improved smelting process for the production of iron
Inventor: SHERRINGTON DAVID MATTHEW
IPC: C21C5/56
Filed: 2004-01-20
Abstract: A process for producing iron metal and slag by smelting iron-containing source material, having iron present as oxide and/or a partially metalized state, in a reactor containing a molten bath comprising or having a slag phase, utilises injection of fuel/reductant and oxygen-containing gas into the slag, by at least one top-submerged lance, to generate heating and reducing conditions in at least one reducing region in the bath. The source material is fed to the reactor, together with additional reductant and with flux, at or adjacent to the at least one reducing region, to subject the source material to smelting reduction which generates combustion gases comprising CO and H2. The rates of injection of the oxygen-containing gas and fuel/reductant by said at least one lance are controlled to achieve required, sufficient reducing conditions; and, in the reactor above the bath, the combustion gases generated by the smelting are post-combusted. The controlling of step (c) is conducted to result in the injected oxygen-containing gas having an oxygen content of from about 40 volume % to about 100 volume % and sufficient for a degree of combustion in excess of 60 wt % of the fuel/reductant injected by the at least one lance.

Title: Continuous pressure decay test
Inventor: JOHNSON WARREN THOMAS
IPC: B01D65/10
Filed: 2005-02-18
Abstract: A continuous integrity test is performed on membranes in a membrane filtration system during the backwashing phase. The membrane pores are backwashed by applying a gas at a pressure below the bubble point to liquid permeate within the membrane lumens to displace the liquid permeate within the lumens through the membrane pores. An integrity test is performed on the membranes by allowing the gas pressure on the lumen side of the membrane walls to increase to a predetermined level above the pressure on the other side of the membrane walls, then isolating the lumen side of the membranes and measuring the reduction in gas pressure on the lumen side of the membrane walls resulting from gas passing through the membrane walls over a predetermined period. The measured reduction in pressure is then compared against a predetermined value to determine the integrity of said membranes.
