Patent CA-2227395-C (CA)
Title: Improvements in thermocouple assemblies
Inventor: FINNEY PHILIP F
IPC: G01K7/12
Filed: 1998-01-19
Granted: 2005-01-11
Abstract: A temperature sensing device includes a head piece having a solid metal body with a mounting surface and a recess within the mounting surface for receiving a thermocouple therein. The body has an attachment end, and hole extending through the attachment end which communicates with the recess such that a plurality of leads may extend through the hole and connect to the thermocouple. An insulating material of mica or metal oxide surrounds the leads and the conducting portions of the thermocouple so as to insulate them from each other and from the metal body of the enclosure. Several structures can be used to form the thermocouple fitted into the small enclosure. In one embodiment, a thermocouple is formed using thin strips of conducting material made of alloys suitable for forming a thermocouple. A thermocouple may be made by first removing the sheathing and insulation from the end of a thermocouple cable, exposing the leads and the leads are flattened or other wise shaped. Also the diameter of such cables can be reduced by subjecting them to a drawing process or a swedging process wherein the outer diameter of the sheath of the cable is reduced as is the diameters of the alloy leads within the cable. To maximize the accuracy of the thermocouple, the junction at the end of the cable can be turned 90 degrees and the junction positioned within the enclosure to abut against the surface, the temperature of which is to be measured.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a xylanase-rich enzyme complex by the cultivation of a xylanase-producing microorganism of the genus Trichoderma in a nutrient medium comprises using in the cultivation a pre-treated thin stillage of rye as the xylanase inductor and simultaneously as the carbon source, with the pre-treatment comprising a removal of the solid constituents of the thin stillage of rye, a concentration of the non- volatile components by evaporation of water and other volatile substances as well as a subsequent autoclaving of the thin stillage of rye concentrate resulting therefrom. In a further aspect of this process in accordance with the invention , de-oiled soya meal or soya meal liquor is used as an additional xylanase inductor and as a nitrogen source; by the addition of the de-oiled soya meal or soya meal liquor to the pre-treated thin stillage of rye a further increase in the xylanase production is achieved. The enzyme complexes manufactured by the process in accordance with the invention can be used immediately in the animal feedstuff industry, especially in poultry nutrition; their use in, for example, rye-, barley- or triticale-containing feedstuffs has a favourable influence on the reduction of the antinutritive action of the non-starch polysaccharides and leads to an improved digestability and absorption of the nutrients in the intestine of the animal.

Abstract: A writing instrument with enhanced tactile feel, more gripping security and ergonomic comfort which is adaptable to the customized hand geometry of a specific user and can include a barrel with an outer gripping surface wherein the barrel includes a barrel framework with an axial bore extending therethrough to a tip opening. A gripping section is defined on the barrel in the shape of a hollow core member to define a gripping channel extending therearound. The barrel gripping member is mounted in the gripping channel fixedly with respect to the hollow core and is made of a more flexibly resilient and pliable material than the harder material of the barrel framework to facilitate gripping thereof and to enhance tactile control. The barrel gripping member and the barrel framework in combination are co-molded in such a manner as together to define the outer gripping surface of the barrel. A writing medium member extends through the axial bore and outwardly through the tip opening for facilitating marking therewith. The barrel gripping member can include multiple voids defined therein to facilitate the pliability and flexible resilience thereof and for tactile comfort.   Also the hollow core member can be bendable to vary the axial geometry of the barrel and the axial bore extending therethrough.

Abstract: By provision of paint cartridges (35) of different colors which are detachably mounted on a coating system (21), the paint can be changed from one color to another in a multi- color coating operation without necessitating to discharge residues of a previous color. The paint cartridge (35) of each color is replaceably mounted on a housing (22). Each cartridge (35) is provided with a paint valve (46) which functions to communicate and shut off a paint supply passage (39A) in a feed tube (39). In addition, a thinner valve (54) which serves to communicate and shut off a thinner passage (48) on the housing is provided either on the side of the housing (22) or on the side of the cartridge (35). These arrangements make it possible to cope with multiple color changes on one coating system (21). Since both of the paint valve (46) and thinner valve (54) are opened and closed by spray-on and spray-off command signals, respectively, the paint spray can be turned on and off immediately in response to these command signals.    72

Granted: 2008-02-12
Abstract: This invention pertains to a high yield process for producing high quality com fiber gum by hydrogen peroxide treatment of com fiber during alkaline extraction and/or after obtaining the alkaline extract of milled com fiber. This process comprises the steps: a) mixing com fiber with an alkaline solution to form a slurry and extract hemicellulose; b) treating the slurry with hydrogen peroxide at a pH of about 10.0 to 12.5; and c) separating out the insoluble fractions from the com fiber slurry to yield com fiber gum. The com fiber gum produced by this process is highly soluble in water and provides low viscosity solutions which are nearly devoid of color over a wide pH  range. The com fiber gum lacks objectionable flavor and aroma. The com fiber gum is useful for a variety of applications, including film formation and to thicken, emulsify, stabilize and/or extend aqueous solutions and suspensions.

Granted: 2005-05-10
Abstract: In an implant driver assembly set comprising a dental implant and an insertion post, the insertion post has a cylindrical portion and an adjoining shoulder with which the driver assembly can be held in a constricted portion of a receptacle. A portion of the insertion post adjoining said shoulder in the direction of withdrawal provides frictional and/or interlocking engagement with an installation tool for withdrawing the implant driver assembly from the receptacle and for installing the implant at a site drilled in the jaw. The receptacle, preferably comprising a glass tube, is constricted radially about its circumference at the site of the holding means and closed at both end with sealing stoppers. The tool for withdrawing and screwing in the implant driver assembly comprises a tubular portion with a hex key socket at the open end of the inside wall and adjacent an inner tubular diameter that produces frictional engagement with the insertion post when they are brought into contact. The method for inserting the implant of the implant driver assembly is characterized in that after removal of the sealing stopper on the withdrawal side of the receptacle the tool is guided over the insertion post and made to engage frictionally with said post, that the driver assembly with the tool is then pulled out of the receptacle and screwed into the hole bored in the jaw, after which the screwed connection between the implant and the insertion post is released and the insertion post is pulled off.

Abstract: A separation process for isolation and purification of useful nutrients from food process streams is described. The process includes the steps of contacting an aqueous solution including a nutrient and divalent ions with an ion exchange resin including monovalent ions. The eluate which is depleted of divalent ions is collected and subjected to a process capable of separating monovalent ions to obtain a permeate fraction including monovalent ions and a retentate fraction including said nutrient. The retentate is separated into fractions, wherein at least one of said fractions includes the major portion of said nutrient, which may then be further purified.  The ion-exchange resin can be regenerated by contacting the ion-exchange resin with a solution including the permeate fraction until a major portion of divalent ions in the ion exchange resin have been replaced by monovalent ions.
