Abstract: An apparatus and method for interrogating fiber optic sensors non-intrusively sensing fluid flow within a pipe includes a two beam interferometer which comprises an optics circuit for generating a series of discrete light pulses that are directed at sensors positioned between pairs of low reflectivity fiber Bragg gratings. The successive light pulses are split into first light pulses and second light pulses and the second light pulses are delayed a known time period relative to the first pulses. The first and second light pulses are combined onto a single optical fiber and directed through the low reflectivity gratings and the sensor positioned between the gratings.  Reflected pulses from the series of pulses impinge on a photoreceiver and interrogator wherein the phase shift between the reflected first light pulses from the second grating and the reflected second light pulses from the first grating for each sensor are determined. Phase shifts from successive pulses for each sensor are compared and a change in a measured parameter of the fluid is determined.

Title: Hot dairy-based beverage dispenser
Inventor: ECKENHAUSEN ROLAND B
IPC: B67D1/12
Filed: 2003-06-05
Granted: 2011-01-04
Abstract: A dispensing unit for dispensing hot, dairy-based beverages has a self- contained refrigerated unit located above a venturi-type emulsification foaming head. The dispensing unit has particular applicability to the dispensation of foamy, hot milk for use in beverages such as cappuccino and nonfoamy, hot milk for use in beverages such as coffee lane, hot chocolate, and other hot dairy-based beverages . The refrigeration unit accommodates a "bag in box" cold milk storage container of the type widely used in food service establishments. The dispensing unit employs a pinch valve that avoids direct contact between the milk and the valve components. The refrigerated milk is stored above the level of the foamer head so that the flow of milk results partially from gravitational force on the milk, and is not totally dependent upon venturi suction created in the foamer head. Also, selective actuation of beverage choice switches generates commands to produce different beverages at different temperatures. This is achieved by raising or lowering the steam temperature from a standby temperature as an immediate response to depression of a selection button. Air utilized in creating a foamy hot milk mixture may be supplied at a positive pressure above atmospheric pressure, rather than merely through venturi suction from the ambient atmosphere. In addition, following the dispensation of each portion of a beverage, the system automatically discharges a quantity of purging water to clean out the air line and air nozzle, so as to avoid contamination of those components by contact with milk flowing through the foamer head.

Abstract: A cathode shield for a gas discharge lamp having a predetermined size hole (32) proportional to the diameter of a cup (26) and the diameter of the glass envelope (14) of the gas discharge lamp (10). A conductive cup (26) is placed around an electrode or a filament (22). The cup (26) is covered with an insulator material (30) having a hole (32) therein. The diameter of the hole (32) in the cover has a proportional relationship to the diameter of the envelope (14) of the lamp (10) and the diameter of the cup (26). The ratio of the diameter of the envelope (14) and the hole (32) in the cover ranges between 3.5 and 4.5. The ratio of the diameter of the cup (36) and the hole (32) in the cover ranges between 2.0 and 3Ø It has been determined that these ratios improve current loads without changing discharge characteristics. Additionally, lower temperature operation and starting is facilitated with increased service life. The cathode shield is particularly applicable to germicidal lamps used in water treatment due to the cooler starting and operating temperatures required.

Abstract: A windshield wiper system activated by sensing rainwater adapted to detect rainwater via a rain sensor placed inside a wiping pattern of a windshield glass while a multifunction switch lever is in automatic mode, the system comprising a rain sensor module for activating a relay for low speeds and/or a relay for high speeds depending on the detected amount of rainwater. There is further provided a first voltage detecting means for detecting a battery voltage, a second voltage detecting means for detecting a voltage of an automatic signal, and a microcomputer for adjusting the sensitivity of the rain sensor on the basis of a voltage ratio of the automatic signal voltage and the battery voltage. The present invention has a reformed wiring structure that connects the multifunction switch and the rain sensor module, which contributes to a reduction of the weight of a wiring harness, as well as the manufacturing cost. The sensitivity of the rain sensor is not affected by a voltage change, which may occur from various factors inside the vehicle.

Abstract: An internal heating method for drying, gelling and final curing of epoxy resin insulation systems used for encapsulating dry type cast distribution transformer coils is disclosed. The internal method uses a Direct-Current (DC) power source to control and supply DC current to resistively heat the transformer coil encapsulated with a liquid resin under vacuum in a mold. DC  current is applied to a given coil based on its conductor cross-sectional area and its epoxy resin quantity to achieve a specified temperature for drying, gelling and final curing. The temperature, controlled by DC resistive heating is maintained for a given period for each step.

Title: Azetidinium modified polymers and fabric treatment composition
Inventor: BATCHELOR STEPHEN NORMAN
IPC: D06M15/267
Filed: 2002-12-10
Granted: 2010-02-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a fabric treatment composition which comprises a self-crosslinking polymer possessing pendant azetidinium groups. A first aspect of the invention comprises an azetidinium functionalised polymer containing primary or secondary amine groups. Cross-linking reactions between the azetidinium group and primary or secondary amine groups does not form quaternary groups and consequently does not result in a charged, cross-linked polymer. This lack of charge is believed to overcome the problems of stain fixing and dye adsorption. A second aspect of the present invention subsists in a azetidinium functionalised polymer of which the monomers comprise: an amino-acrylate and/or amino-alkacrylate monomer, and, optionally, further non-amino acrylate and/or alkacrylate monomer. A third aspect of the present invention provides a textile treatment composition which comprises a azetidinium functionalised polymer in accordance with the first or second aspect of the invention and a textile compatible carrier.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un acide nucléique codant une protéine dite <= cyplasine >= qui présente une toxicité préférentielle pour les cellules de mammifères se développant de manière autonome. La mort cellulaire induite par cette protéine diffère de l'apoptose et de la nécrose. Il est possible d'éviter la mort cellulaire qui se produit au niveau intracellulaire lors de la préparation par recombinaison de cyplasine dans des cultures cellulaires en retirant le signal de secrétion dans la séquence de cyplasine. Cette modification permet d'exprimer la cyplasine dans une culture de cellules de mammifères, ce qui est préférable par rapport au schéma de glycolysation de la protéine obtenue. Ainsi, la présente invention traite également d'un procédé permettant de produire par recombinaison une protéine dans les cellules eucaryotes, de préférence des cellules de mammifères, qui est cytotoxique pour lesdites cellules lors de son application externe.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un boîtier (60) de filtre comprenant une entrée permettant l'entrée d'un flux d'air, une cavité dans laquelle un filtre (70) peut être installé, et un passage d'écoulement d'air reliant l'entrée et la cavité. Au moins une ailette (65a, 65b, 65c), disposée dans le passage d'écoulement d'air, divise le passage d'écoulement d'air en une pluralité de canaux (51, 52, 53). Les ailettes (65a, 65b) sont adjacentes à la surface amont du filtre ou entrent en contact avec celle-ci, de sorte que chaque canal (51, 52, 53) communique avec une partie distincte de la surface amont du filtre. Le passage d'écoulement d'air s'étend dans une direction inclinée par rapport à la surface amont du filtre. Les ailettes (65a, 65b) contribuent à répartir plus régulièrement le flux d'air sur la surface du filtre et contribuent en outre à réduire les émissions acoustiques de la machine dans laquelle le boîtier de filtre est intégré.
