Title: Target substance sensor and method thereof using a photonic crystal
Inventor: ASANO TAKASHI
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 2005-03-23
Abstract: A target material sensor using a photonic crystal being high in sensitivity to a target material to be detected and capable of being downsized, and a detection method for a target material. The sensor comprises an electromagnetic wave generating source for supplying an electromagnetic wave, a photonic sensor element and a detector. The photonic sensor element comprises a sensor waveguide having a photonic crystal structure to introduce an electromagnetic wave, and a sensor resonator coupled electro-magnetically with the sensor waveguide to resonate an introduced electromagnetic wave at a specific wavelength, the characteristics of an electromagnetic wave emitted from the sensor resonator being changed when the sensor resonator is exposed to an atmosphere containing a target material. The detector recognizes the intensity change of an electromagnetic wave on receiving it emitted from the sensor resonator, and determines the concentration of a target material from this intensity change to output a concentration-indicating signal.

Title: Fluorochemical composition and method for treating a substrate therewith
Inventor: COPPENS DIRK M
IPC: D06M13/192
Filed: 2005-03-15
Abstract: The present invention provides an aqueous composition comprising (i) a fluorochemical compound and (ii) an ester derivative of an alpha-hydroxy acid, the ester derivative having a melting point of not more than 35~C and a water solubility of not more than 10% by weight at 25~C. The fluorochemical compound is typically dispersed or emulsified in the aqueous composition. The aqueous compositions may provide such advantages as providing good oil- and/or water repellency properties to a substrate upon application at ambient conditions, without the need for a heat treatment. Thus, the aqueous compositions may be used to provide oil- and/or water repellency properties to a substrate such as for example a fibrous substrate, e.g., leather or textile. In particular, repellency properties comparable to those achieved with a heat treatment step may be achieved.

Patent CA-2566458-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FERNANDES LUIZ CLAUDIO VIEIRA
IPC: F24H9/00
Filed: 2006-11-01
Abstract: This invention mainly consists of a water tank with a conventional cylindrical shape where water is heated in the traditional way using a Vertical Heating Pipe (VHP) (usually around 100 mm diameter) where combustion gases flow upwards from the burner located at the bottom of the tank. The main innovation is the addition of a water finned-tube concentric with the VHP that increases overall heat transfer surface area in more than 70%. The special feature of this tube is that it transfers heat to the water promoting an exclusive flow circulation from bottom to top of the tank, reducing inconvenient cold and hot water mixing inside the tank. On this manner, cold water from the bottom of the tank flows inside the tube receiving heat from the finned-tube and exiting it to the to the upper part of the water tank. The circulation of the water inside the tank is also made in an ordered manner using a baffle that restricts water movement in the upper part.    This process creates temperature stratification inside the tank, where hotter water is kept at the upper part. This guarantees that the water initially consumed from upper part of the tank has much higher temperatures than the bottom. This increases the water tank virtual capacity in more than 60% for the same water tank volume. Another innovative process is that the combustion air used for the burner, located at the bottom at the tank, comes from the top of the tank, through a separate tube and a small fan. This provides a safety measure for virtually eliminating the risk of vapour lock explosion issues. The increased surface area from the finned-tube guarantees an increase in heat transfer surface area with a corresponding increase in overall efficiency. The fins also serve to rotate the combustion gases around the tubes to increase the contact of the combustion gases with the metal parts. The finned-tube increases further the water temperature to the upper part of the tank so that it can provide virtually endless hot water as long as the burner operates.
