Patent CA-2180064-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DRIES JOHN
IPC: A47L15/23
Filed: 1996-06-27
Abstract: An apparatus for increasing the power draw of a positive temperature coefficient heating element in a washer when the heating element is not submerged in fluid. The washer includes the heating element, a tub with a sump, a hub, a pump and a spray arm. The pump circulates the fluid from the sump throughout the tub. Disposed around the sump is the heating element. Projecting upward from the sump is the hub which has a passage for conveying fluid from the pump to the top of the hub. The spray arm is substantially hollow and is rotatably mounted to the top of the hub . The spray arm receives fluid from the passage in the hub and projects sprays of fluid into the tub, causing the spray arm to rotate. At least one of the sprays is directed downward onto the heating element during the rotational travel of the spray arm so as to substantially wet the heating element when the heating element is not submerged in fluid, thereby cooling the heating element and increasing its power draw.

Title: Process for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous systems using organoclays
Inventor: CODY CHARLES
IPC: C02F1/28
Filed: 1996-08-19
Abstract: This invention relates to a process for removing dissolved heavy metals including lead and radioactive contaminants from contaminated aqueous systems including aqueous soil systems. Such systems have resulted from Department of Defense activities and chemical manufacture, as well as from a large variety of past activities. An organically modified smectite clay, or organoclay, is used to treat these systems. Organoclays are the reaction product of smectite clays and quaternary ammonium compounds. The organoclay is brought in contact with system to be treated where it sorbs the heavy metal in the aqueous system onto the organoclay which sorbed complex is then removed by a variety of methods including flotation and air sparging.

En outre, on a prévu un substrat en verre revêtu perfectionné dans lequel la détérioration due à l'humidité est ralentie, l'adhésion entre le substrat en verre et la composition de revêtement et entre les différents revêtements est améliorée, et ladite composition de revêtement comporte un poly(siloxane).
Patent CA-2187064-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ST JOHN JOHN
IPC: B65B27/08
Filed: 1996-10-03
Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus and method for feeding, bundling and transporting a stream of sheets, such as printed sheets in signature form.          A vertical stacking machine stacks a stream of signatures and then clamps, compresses and straps the signatures into a bundle for transportation and delivery. The machine has a pair of improved bar clamps for preventing sheet drift during compression and strapping.  The clamps attach each bar to a driving mechanism in a cantilevered fashion.  Each bar is only attached to the driving mechanism at the top and/or the center portion of the bar.  The opposite, bottom end of each bar is free of attachment to the driving mechanism.  As a result, a critical obstruction is removed.

Title: Blood Flow Measurement Method in Hemodialysis Shunts
Inventor: KRIVITSKI NICKOLAI M
IPC: A61M1/36
Filed: 1994-11-18
Abstract: The measurement of blood flow in a dialysis shunt (12) is obtained by injection of an indicator material into a venous line (32) leading from dialysis equipment (10) to the shunt (12). The blood flow in an arterial line (26) leading from the shunt (12) at a location downstream of the venous line (32) to the dialysis equipment (10) is monitored by an arterial line sensor (50) for the presence of the indicator material. A detector (58) connected to the sensor (50) provides a dilution curve in response to the presence of the indicator material and the blood flow in the shunt (12) is calculated from the area under the dilution curve. The locations of the arterial and venous lines (26, 32) in the shunt (12) can be reversed to obtain a measurement of blood recirculation from the venous line (32) into the arterial line (26).

IPC: B29C48/08
Filed: 1995-10-04
Abstract: The subject invention provides a polymer mixture having high heat resistivity, low hexane-extractive and controllably lower or higher modulus. The mixture is comprised of at least one first substantially linear ethylene polymer, Component (A), and at least one second ethylene polymer which is a homogeneously branched polymer, heterogeneously branched linear polymer or a non-high density. When fabricated into film, the mixture is characterized by a heat seal initiation temperature which is substantially lower than its vicat softening point as well as a high ultimate hot tack strength. When fabricated as a molded article, the mixture is characterized by high microwave warp distortion while maintaining a lower modulus. The polymer mixture is particularly well-suited for use in multilayer film structures as a sealant layer for such applications as cook-in packages, hot-fill packages, and barrier shrink films. In molding applications, the mixture is well-suited as freezer-to-microwave food storage containers and lids which maintain good flexibility at low temperature to allow easy openability of such containers.
