Patent CA-2559820-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BACKMAN ARTHUR L
IPC: F16L9/133
Filed: 2005-02-25
Abstract: A multi-layered pipe of arbitrary length and cross-section is produced by co-extrusion of a segmented thermoplastic copolyester elastomer (COPE) outer body over the exterior surface of an annular tubular core of CPVC/PVC having a wall thickness, measured in the radial direction, in the range from about 0.95 mm (38 mils) to about 1.375 mm (55 mils). The COPE is cohesively bonded to the annular core coextensively with essentially the entire length of the pipe. Though the COPE is easily degraded in contact with water, and CPVC and blends of CPVC with less than 25% by weight of PVC are typically rigid when extruded as pipe, a laminated pipe of COPE and CPVC/PVC with the specified wall thickness and overall dimensions which in the laminated pipe satisfy an applicable plumbing code (SDR-11 in the U.S.) has essentially the same performance characteristics as commercially available CPVC pipe which is a monolayer and not a laminate.

Abstract: A fluid absorbent tape is divided into sections that can be separated to customize the length of the tape and simplify use. In one embodiment of the invention, the fluid absorbent tape includes an absorbent material enclosed in a fluid permeable cover to form an elongated fluid absorbent tape. Separating structure formed in a transverse direction through the elongated fluid absorbent tape divides the elongated tape into a first section of fluid absorbent tape and a second section of fluid absorbent tape. The first section of fluid absorbent tape is separable from the second section of fluid absorbent tape along the separating structure. In another embodiment of the invention, the fluid absorbent tape includes a fluid absorbent material including a super absorbent polymer. An elongated fluid permeable cover having a length encloses the fluid absorbent material, and is divided into sections along the length. Each of the sections have closed ends to inhibit the fluid absorbent material from falling out of the sections through the ends.

Patent CA-2563256-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAKANO YUICHI
IPC: B05B15/12
Filed: 2004-07-23
Abstract: A protrusion (21b) is formed in the central region on the inner surface (21c) of a first disc plate (21) constituting the end part on the oblique downward side of a rotary drum (2). Powder (11) in the vicinity of the other end (first disc plate (21)) lifted forward in the rotational direction as the rotary drum (2) rotates comes in contact with the surface of the protrusion (21b) when the powder flows gravitationally backward in the rotational direction. The powder then flows obliquely upward while being guided by the surface of the protrusion (21b). Consequently, stagnation phenomenon of the powder (11) is less likely to occur in the vicinity of the other end (first disc plate (21)).
Patent CA-2565940-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MOURTON ALAN
IPC: G07B15/02
Filed: 2006-10-27
Abstract: There is described a system for monitoring the status of vehicle parking spaces.  A server receives data transmitted over a network from at least one ticketing machine useable to purchase parking time for the parking spaces. The data comprises identity information identifying individual parking spaces for which parking time has been purchased and information relating to the purchased parking time for each identified parking space. The server transmits status information to a portable terminal regarding the parking spaces for presentation to a user of the terminal, the information depending upon the data received at the server. The status information may identify spaces for which no parking time is currently purchased, or for which purchased parking time has recently expired.    The user may use the status information to enforce the purchase of parking time for the spaces. The system also generates an ID number for each transaction, the ID number encoding information identifying the parking space and expiry time relating to the transaction. A customer may later input an ID number to a ticketing machine in order to validly purchase additional parking time for the parking space to extend the initial expiry time.

Patent CA-2567649-A1 (CA)
Title: High-throughput continuous-flow ultrasound reactor
Inventor: GUNNERMAN RUDOLF W
IPC: B01J19/10
Filed: 2005-04-05
Abstract: Liquids are treated by ultrasound in a flow-through reaction vessel with an elongate ultrasonic horn mounted to the vessel with one end of the horn extending into the vessel interior. The liquid flow path inside the vessel is such that the entering liquid strikes the end of the horn at a direction normal to the end, then flows across the surface of the end before leaving the vessel. The end surface of the horn is positioned in close proximity to the entry port to provide a relatively high surface-to-volume ratio in the immediate vicinity of the horn end. In a further improvement, the horn is joined to an ultrasonic transducer through a booster block that provides an acoustic gain to the ultrasonic vibrations, and the booster block is plated with a reflective metal to lessen any loss of ultrasonic energy being transmitted to the horn.
