Patent CA-2577767-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MORENO JACK A
IPC: F16K31/02
Filed: 2005-08-17
Abstract: Provided is a mounting structure for mounting a pilot valve assembly to a flow reversing valve assembly. The mounting structure includes a mounting bracket and a cover plate. Disposed through a face panel of the mounting bracket is an aperture that defines an axis line. The cover plate is generally parallel to and offset from the face panel. A solenoid coil having a central bore is placed between the face panel and the cover plate such that the central bore aligns with the axis line. A pilot valve body included with the pilot valve assembly is partially inserted through the aperture and into the central bore.  Extending over the un-inserted portion of the pilot valve body is a sleeve including a spring. The sleeve and spring are arranged such that the spring urges the mounting bracket, the solenoid coil, and the cover plate toward one another.

Title: Production of carbon monoxide-free hydrogen and helium from a high-purity source
Inventor: GOLDEN TIMOTHY CHRISTOPHER
IPC: B01D53/047
Filed: 2007-02-21
Abstract: The invention provides vacuum swing adsorption processes that produce an essentially carbon monoxide-free hydrogen or helium gas stream from, respectively, a high-purity (e.g., pipeline grade) hydrogen or helium gas stream using one or two adsorber beds. By using physical adsorbents with high heats of nitrogen adsorption, intermediate heats of carbon monoxide adsorption, and low heats of hydrogen and helium adsorption, and by using vacuum purging and high feed stream pressures (e.g., pressures of as high as around 1,000 bar), pipeline grade hydrogen or helium can purified to produce essentially carbon monoxide- free hydrogen and helium, or carbon monoxide, nitrogen, and methane-free hydrogen and helium.

IPC: H03K5/159
Filed: 2005-10-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for converting FFE (72) and FBE (76) coefficients from a DOCSIS compatible cable modem termination system upstream equalizer into FFE  only coefficients to be sent down to the cable modem which transmitted the training burst which resulted in convergence on the FFE and FBE coefficients.  The method involves programming an FBE like conversion structure comprised of an FFE filter and an FBE filter whose outputs are summed (70) with the FFE and FBE coefficients from the CMTS equalizer. The FFE coefficients are stored in the FFE filter of the conversion structure. The FBE coefficients are stored in an FBE filter of the conversion structure. Then, an input vector which simulates the Dirac function (an impulse) is input to the conversion structure to derive coefficients at its output (86) which define the impulse response and transfer function of the conversion structure. These coefficients are the FFE only coefficients which may be used to select a subset of 24 for sending to the cable modem.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for cultivating undifferentiated stem cells in suspension and in particular to a method for cultivating stem cells on microcarriers in vessels. The method enables stem cells to be cultivated in a scalable process for the first time, without losing their pluripotentiality.  Different types of vessels are suitable for cultivation, such as e.g. spinners and bioreactors. The option of precisely setting the cultivation conditions in said vessels aids the process of obtaining a pluripotentiality of the stem cells. The inventive method also permits large yields of stem cells of an unvarying quality to be produced.
