Title: Siphoning device for use in liquid basting and separation
Inventor: PORTER JERRY
IPC: A47J37/10
Filed: 1999-09-17
Abstract: The siphoning device, with the measuring indicators, is used for liquid-liquid separation. The body member has an outlet with an open tip; the outlet can have a peripheral rim with notches proximate the open tip. A two way liquid valve contoured to approximate the contour of the interior affixed to the liquid valve extends through and beyond the open tip of the outlet. Pressure on the stem places the valve in an open position and permits liquid to be discharged. An air pump interacts with the body to expel air and draw in the liquids. Generally the air pump is a flexible bulb with a one-way air valve to restrict air flow into the hollow body while permitting air flow out. The hollow body can be in two parts which are removably connected to one another.  The travel of the liquid valve within the hollow body is limited by stops.

Inventor: CIHOLAS MIKE
IPC: H04N21/242
Filed: 1995-06-28
Abstract: The invention provides a system for recording and displaying a time sequential scene on a computer. The digital camera transmits a sequence of digital image frames to the timer representative of the image of a body passing a plane in space. Each frame represents a line object of the body, thus forming a fractional part of the scene. Once the frame reaches the image timer, it is digitally marked with a time reference and buffered into a block of information. The main control computer stores blocks of information from the image timer for a variety of processing and features available to the user. The invention also provides a selected memory, preferably a virtual memory subsystem, or hard-disc drive. Preferred constructions for adjusting camera pixel processing of light values, time-marking the images, creating colour palettes for interactive viewing of colour images, and video data coding to accommodate the high volume of line image data are described.

Patent CA-2294093-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WAGNER PIERRE-ANDRE
IPC: F02D9/06
Filed: 1999-04-22
Abstract: The invention concerns a decelerator device for obtaining constant and maximal decelerating power whatever the engine and as from very low speeds, by controlling the gas pressure upstream of the valve by balancing the efforts at the pressure-relief valve. Said decelerator device (1) is characterised in that it comprises a balancing device (20) incorporated in the gate (2) body (4) and comprising a leakage conduit (21) controlled by a calibrated check valve (22). When the valve (7) is closed and, based on a counter-pressure threshold predetermined by the calibration of the compression spring (27) provided at said check valve (22) rear, the latter is lifted from its seat (25) and communicates the channel (5) upstream of the valve (7) with the leakage duct (21) generating an exhaust gas leakage. Beyond said threshold, the calibrated check valve (22) remains open, thereby ensuring constant and maximal counter-pressure whatever the engine speed. The invention is applicable to combustion engine vehicles and in particular industrial vehicles.

Filed: 1999-05-04
Abstract: The invention relates to an additional embodiment for the arrangement of a lower annular suction and gas relaxation chamber on a coke-heated circulating gas cupola furnace for material and/or energetic recycling of waste materials having different composition as described in main patent P 196 40 497, in which suctioning of gaseous organic matter which has been completely broken down into its basic components CO, H2, H2O and CO2 and into its trace components or has been already reformed is not yet reliably prevented.  According to the invention, the lower annular suctioning and gas relaxation chamber is arranged below the melting and overheating zone which extends up to the plane formed by the position of the jet gas compressor. Said arrangement makes it possible to draw off the excess gas directly from the furnace shaft from the melting and overheating zone at high temperatures of around 2,000 ~C.  The excess gas is also guided through the burning coke layer of the melting and overheating zone of the coke-heated circulating gas cupola furnace. CO2 is converted to CO by lowering the temperature of the gas as a result of energy-consuming Boudard equilibrium reaction. Fluidic separation of the excess gas from process gas is simultaneously carried out.
