Patent CA-2316404-A1 (CA)
Title: Polymer devolatilisation apparatus
Inventor: CRAIG THOMAS ORR
IPC: B01D19/00
Filed: 2000-08-18
Abstract: Devolatilisation of molten polymer is carried out using a vertical static mixer which opens directly into a flash tank. Expansion of a stripping agent injected at an inlet of the static mixer occurs in the static mixer and the continued shearing causes disengagement of the vapor from the polymer, so that expansion is complete before the polymer enters the flash tank and stripper and volatiles are removed by a pump and condenser arrangement which holds the flash tank at a reduced pressure.     Polymer outlets are in the floor of the flash tank and have metering pumps at their bottom end.

Title: Demographic information gathering and incentive award system and method
Inventor: BISTRICEANU VIRGIL
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 1999-05-13
Abstract: A system and method provides web site proprietors with demographics information about the users who visit their web sites, and provides web site visitors with incentive awards (i.e., points) in exchange for providing the demographics information and interacting with the web sites in a predefined manner. Users complete a questionnaire designed to solicit various demographics data of interest to web site proprietors. A profile is then associated with user identification information and stored on a server. The identification information is also stored on the user's local device to identify the user on subsequent visits to participating sites. Users visit the web sites of one or more participating web site proprietors. In so doing the participating user will be awarded points that can be redeemed for products or services at a later date. The system automatically awards points to deserving users without requiring the users to manually leave the web site awarding the points. Periodically, the system develops a report for each participating web site proprietor providing a demographics profile of the participating users that interacted with the web site in predefined ways. The system also provides redemption sites where participating users can visit to convert the points accumulated into products or services.

Title: Gas driven drug delivery device
Inventor: LAVI GILAD
IPC: A61M5/158
Filed: 1998-06-04
Abstract: A subcutaneous drug delivery device (10) comprises a housing having an internal reservoir (12) in communication with a drug delivery needle (21) via a fluid path (23). An expandable chamber (14) disposed adjacent to the reservoir (12) forces drug from the reservoir (12) to the needle (21) when supplied with a gas. A flow regulating chamber (24-26), in communication with the fluid path, is capable of volumetric changes in response to temperature and/or pressure changes. An increase in the volume of the flow regulating chamber (24-26) increases flow resistance to the needle (21) and thereby counteracts the corresponding increase in delivery rate resulting from the expansion of the expandable chamber (14) due to the same volumetric changes in response to temperature and/or pressure.

Title: Soderberg-type composite electrode for arc smelting furnace
Inventor: SCIARONE MARCEL
IPC: C21C5/52
Filed: 1999-08-23
Abstract: An electrode for a smelting furnace comprises an elongate casing including a plurality of spaced, inwardly projecting ribs extending radially from an inner surface of the casing towards the centre of the casing. A central core of a pre-baked electrode, typically a solid or hollow pre-baked graphite electrode, is disposed within the casing free of the projecting ribs and defines a space between the core and the inner surface of the casing. A heating zone is located intermediate the ends of the casing so that a carbonaceous electrode paste received or receivable within the space between the core and the inner surface of the casing is calcined into a baked, hard form upon entering the heating zone. The projecting ribs assist in baking the electrode paste and in anchoring or supporting the electrode to reduce the risk of nipple or joint fracture of adjacent pre-baked electrodes. The electrodes are particularly useful in the smelting of ferrochromium and in the reduction of ores such as ilmenite. They also have application in the smelting of scrap metal in steel furnaces.
