Title: Attachment of a ceramic shroud in a metal housing
Inventor: JASKLOWSKI CHRISTOPHE
IPC: F01D11/02
Filed: 2003-04-10
Abstract: A shroud assembly for a turbine portion of a gas turbine engine, the shroud assembly comprising an annular ceramic shroud ring, a plurality of arcuate shroud support segments, and a plurality of inwardly biased resilient members.  The annular ceramic shroud ring is circumferentially disposed about radially extending blades of a turbine rotor and partially defines an annular hot gas passage of the turbine portion. The plurality of arcuate shroud support segments are radially disposed outwardly of the ceramic shroud ring and are contiguous therewith. The plurality of inwardly biased resilient members are each engaged between one of the shroud support segments and an outer annular turbine support case composed of a material having a different thermal expansion coefficient than the ceramic shroud ring. The resilient members maintain contact between the shroud support segments and the ceramic shroud ring. The shroud supporting segments and the resilient members are adapted to deflect to compensate for relative thermal growth differences between the ceramic shroud ring and the turbine support case.

Title: Floor box cover assembly
Inventor: HULL ERIC G
IPC: E04F17/08
Filed: 2000-08-04
Abstract: A cover assembly for a floor box includes a ring, a cover, and a gasket. The ring is configured to support an electrical receptacle within an open upper end portion of the floor box. The cover has an access opening for providing access to the receptacle, and has an access door for closing the access opening. The ring, the cover and the gasket are configured for interconnection in installed positions in which a portion of the gasket is deflected into an annular configuration interposed radially between the ring and the cover. When the gasket is thus installed between the ring and the cover, the edge portion of the gasket establishes a seal that surrounds the access opening in the cover. Additionally, the cover has apertures for receiving fasteners that interconnect the ring, the cover, and the gasket in their installed positions. The access door is configured to overlie all of those apertures, and thereby to conceal all of those fasteners from view, when the door is in a closed position.

Title: Synthesis of poly(arylene)s copolymers containing pendant sulfonic acid groups bonded to naphthalene as proton exchange membrane meterials
Inventor: GUIVER MICHAEL D
IPC: C08F228/02
Filed: 2005-06-02
Abstract: A new series of wholly aromatic poly(arylene ether ether ketone ketone)s containing pendant sulfonic acid groups (SPAEEKK) were conveniently prepared by potassium carbonate mediated nucleophilic polycondensation reactions of inexpensive commercially available monomers: 1,3-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene (BFBB), sodium 6,7-dihydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonate (DHNS), and 4,4'-biphenol or hydroquinone in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) at 170°C. FT-IR and NMR were used to characterize the structures and the sulfonate or sulfonic acid contents (SC) of the polymers.  Flexible membrane films were obtained by casting N,N dimethylacetamide (DMAc) solutions of copolymers. Membrane films in acid form were then obtained by treating the sodium form membrane films in 2 N sulfuric acid at room temperature. Glass transition temperatures (T g s) and decomposition temperatures (T d s) of SPAEEKKs in both sodium and acid forms were determined. Water uptake and swelling ratio values increased with SCs and temperatures. The proton conductivities of acid form membrane films increased with SC value and temperature and reached 5.6×10 -2 S/cm at 100°C  for SPAEEKK-100.

Patent CA-2513523-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RYMER SHAUN
IPC: A61L9/04
Filed: 2004-01-27
Abstract: A vapour dispensing device in which a flowable substance (5) to be vaporised is dispensed from a reservoir (4) onto an emanator pad (9). The reservoir is provided with an outlet (6) and an air inlet (7). These are positioned in relationship to the emanator pad such that some of the substance leaving outlet 6 is conveyed by the emanator pad into the vicinity of the air inlet.  When the pad adjacent to the air inlet is wetted, it becomes impermeable to air. As no further air can enter the reservoir (4), the vacuum in the head space prevents the dispensing of further substance from the outlet (6). This causes a drying of the emanator pad (9) which then becomes air permeable allowing further flow from the reservoir. This effectively provides a negative feedback arrangement which regulates the flow from the reservoir.

Title: Method and apparatus for creating condensation on beverage dispense towers
Inventor: HESS MARKUS
IPC: F25B21/02
Filed: 2005-08-22
Abstract: The invention provides for a means to create ice or condensation on towers used to dispense draught beer. The invention is comprised of at least one Peltier plate assembly connected to a voltage supply whereby a cold side and a hot side are generated. The Peltier assembly is attached to a beer-dispensing tower so that the cold side of the Peltier assembly creates a cold region on the tower to create condensation. The condensation will create a perception that the beverage being dispensed from that tower is cold and therefore more desirable than beverages served from other towers that do not create condensate. The energy from the hot side of the Peltier assembly is dispelled by air-cooling or liquid cooling means.
