Patent CA-2557102-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WILSON JOHN R
IPC: E03D3/12
Filed: 2006-08-24
Abstract: A dual mode flush valve includes a handle assembly having a handle, a bushing and a plunger. The bushing has a sleeve with a passage therethrough for mounting the plunger for sliding and tilting. The passage is defined by first and second partially overlapping bores that coincide at the inner end of the sleeve and are spaced one above the other at the outer end of the sleeve. The bores define a horizontal plunger travel axis and an angled plunger travel axis.     Depending on which direction the user actuates the handle the plunger will travel along one of these axes. Travel along the angled axis will lower the plunger tip, allowing earlier clearance of a relief valve and a reduced flow through the flush valve compared to actuation with the plunger travel along the horizontal axis.

Title: Secured income guarantee system and method
Inventor: MORIN MYLES L
IPC: G06Q40/06
Filed: 2006-10-03
Abstract: A system and method of providing a secured income investment to an investor. In one embodiment, a service provider receives an investment from the investor having an initial value, the investment being placed into an investment pool and invested by the service provider. Based on this initial value, a guaranteed balance is defined. A number of payout events are also defined, and then a guaranteed withdrawal amount is calculated by dividing the value of the guaranteed balance by the total number of payout events. At payout events throughout the duration of the secured income investment, the investor is paid a payment, the value of which is subtracted from the value of the guaranteed balance. Generally, the value of the guaranteed balance is independent of the value of the investment, however, if at pre-determined events, the market value of the investment is greater than the guaranteed balance, the guaranteed balance can be recalculated.

Title: Acetic anhydride and acetate ester co-production
Inventor: WARNER R JAY
IPC: C07C69/14
Filed: 2005-08-11
Abstract: A method of co-producing acetic anhydride and an acetate ester includes pyrolizing acetic acid at elevated temperature to produce a first ketene stream, the first ketene stream being a vapor phase stream comprising ketene, acetic acid and water; cooling the first ketene stream to condense acetic acid and water therefrom, thereby generating (i) a weak acid aqueous stream and (ii) a ketene feed stream; feeding the ketene feed stream to an acetic anhydride reactor where the ketene is reacted with acetic acid to produce acetic anhydride; concurrently with step (c), feeding the weak acid aqueous stream to an esterification reactor wherein acetic acid in the weak acid stream is reacted with an organic alcohol to produce an acetate ester. Preferably, the organic alcohol is selected from organic alcohols which (i) form acetate esters which esters and optionally alcohols provide azeotropic mixtures with water and (ii) wherein the azeotropic mixtures have a water content greater than the amount of water generated by reaction of the alcohol with acetic acid to facilitate azeotropically separating the acetate ester from the reaction mixture.
