Inventor: EDDINGTON RYAN S
IPC: B43K5/14
Filed: 2003-07-16
Abstract: An automatically-adjusting seat mechanism is disclosed for automatically adjusting the chamber length in a writing instrument to accommodate refills of different lengths. The mechanism comprises a first element and a second element operably engaged with the first element. When contacted by a refill, the second element automatically moves from a first position associated with a first chamber length to a second position associated with a second chamber length. The mechanism may have a biasing member to releasably hold the second element in the first position. Other embodiments include a third element and a third chamber length. A method of using the automatically-adjusting refill seat mechanism is also disclosed.

Patent CA-2497596-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SPENCER ROBERT M
IPC: A61L2/14
Filed: 1995-10-10
Abstract: A plasma-enhanced vacuum drying method is disclosed. It is advantageously applied in plasma sterilization processes in particular, and represents a significant improvement for general evacuation drying methods. Articles to be sterilized are placed in a sealed chamber and the chamber is evacuated. A plasma of residual gas species is generated in the chamber during an initial evacuation step. This promotes drying of the articles and advantageously allows a desized pressure to be attained more quickly than without the plasma. Sterilizing gas is injected into the chamber, and a second plasma is generated to activate the sterilizing gas plasma, thereby sterilizing the articles in the chamber.

Title: Belt junction conveyor
Inventor: HISHINUMA NOBUYA
IPC: B65G15/60
Filed: 2005-03-15
Abstract: A belt junction belt conveyor in which a thick periphery (a convex part) of a belt is elastically held after the belt is rewound by an upper and lower inclined pulleys so that the belt can travel smoothly with suppressing bias due to belt rewinding.      In this mechanism, a junction belt 7 is disposed in an inclined manner to have a predetermined degree, for example, 45° to a confluence of a carrier line 3, in which a pair of upper and lower inclined pulleys 11, 12 are arranged adjacent to the disposed part, and both end pulleys 8, 9 are mounted on a position where a double angle of the predetermined angle is maintained while keeping a distance from each other at the disposed side so that an advancing aide belt and a returning side belt 7, respectively, are rewound by the upper and lower inclined pulleys 11, 12 to travel toward each of the end pulleys 8, 9. A roundish thick periphery 7a is provided at both edges in the cross direction of front surface or back surface of the belt 7. Spring type holder units 20a, 20b, and 20c for elastically holding the roundish thick periphery 7a are mounted on the right edge of an advancing side belt immediately before the upper inclined pulley 11, an the left edge of a rewinding belt traveling between the upper inclined pulley 11 and the first end pulley 8, and on the right edge of a returning belt traveling to the second end pulley 9 side after rewinding at the lower inclined pulley 12, respectively, so that the meandering tendency of the belt occurring from being rewound by the upper and lower inclined pulleys 11, 12 is effectively prevented.

Patent CA-2513413-A1 (CA)
Title: Filtering screen
Inventor: ROBERTSON GRAHAM
IPC: B07B1/46
Filed: 2004-04-07
Abstract: A screen is described for use in a vibrating machine for separating solids from liquid material, comprising woven wire cloth of orthogonal warp and weft wires, tensioned and bonded to a support structure defining at least one rectangular opening across which the cloth extends. The orientation of the cloth is chosen so that the warp wires extend across the width (i.e. shorter dimension) of the or each opening. A method of manufacturing two screens side by side in a jig involves laying a length of woven wire cloth across two rectangular frames laid side by side in the jig with longer edges thereof abutting, and orientating the cloth so that the warp wires extend continuously across the two screens. The cloth is bonded to the frames after which it is severed along the join and surplus cloth is trimmed away from the edges of the frame. If the cloth has a square mesh and the warp wires are of greater cross section than the weft wires, the warp wires will extend across the width of the frame, and if the cloth has a rectangular mesh, the greater number of warp wires per unit length will also extend across the width of the frame, so that in each case warp wires will resist in use the stresses across the width of the central region of the or each opening.

Patent CA-2518990-A1 (CA)
Title: A separate size flotation device
Inventor: BOURKE PETER GERARD
IPC: B03D1/14
Filed: 2004-03-16
Abstract: The invention provides a flotation device including a series of flotation tanks (1) for processing a slurry incorporating valuable minerals for extraction. At least one of the tanks includes a side outlet (15) adapted for the withdrawal of targeted relatively fine coarse particles from the slurry.  The tanks also include a bottom outlet (14) for the withdrawal of relatively dense or coarse components of the slurry. The incorporation of bottom and side outlets allows the slurry to be separated into two parallel streams, one configured for optimal recovery of the relatively coarse or dense slurry components and the other for optimal recovery of the relatively fine slurry components. In this way, outflow slurry from downstream tanks in the coarse particle stream has a higher proportion of coarser particles than was present in the inflow slurry from the upstream tanks. Consequently, when a flotation reagent is added to the slurry in the downstream tanks, there is a greater probability of coating some of the larger particles. Therefore, the probability of floating these larger particles increases in the downstream tanks. This in turn increases the overall efficiency of the flotation process.

Abstract: A platen press and method for operating a platen press that includes a fixed upper bolster (10) and a lower movable bolster (12) between which is positioned a plurality of platens (14). Fluid operated jack cylinders (17) are used to move the movable bolster to a closed position whereas separate main or clamping cylinders (16) apply a clamping force to the platens when the press is closed. A first source of pressurized fluid (104, 104~) supplies pressurized fluid at first pressure to the jack cylinders during a press closing step. A second source of pressurized fluid (134) at a second pressure, lower than the first pressure prefills (via prefill valves (146)) the main cylinders during the closing step. When the press is closed, the communication of the second source of pressurized fluid to the main cylinders is terminated and the first source of pressurized fluid is communicated to the main cylinders in order to generate the clamping force. The first source of pressurized fluid is a high pressure low volume source such a positive displacement pumps (104, 104~) used in connection with an accumulator (172).  The second pressurized source is a high volume, low pressure source such as a centrifugal pumps (134), an accumulator (200) fed by a fluid pump (204) or a flow intensifier operated by fluid pump.
