Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et une installation pour le traitement, sans production de déchets, de gruau d'extraction, obtenu à partir de graines de tournesols classiques et destiné à l'alimentation animale (monogastriques et ruminants). Ce procédé consiste à structurer mécaniquement ce gruau d'extraction constitué d'enveloppes, de fragments de graines et d'enveloppes auxquelles adhèrent des fragments de graines. Il consiste également à broyer les agglutinations de gruau d'extraction, à détacher les fragments de graine adhérant à l'enveloppe et à broyer grossièrement les enveloppes tout en conservant et en améliorant leur structure fibreuse. Il consiste en outre à séparer les particules structurées en deux fractions présentant des teneurs différentes en protéines brutes et en fibres brutes. On obtient ainsi une fraction riche en protéines, appropriée à l'alimentation de monogastriques, et une fraction riche en fibres brutes destinée à l'alimentation de ruminants. On soumet ensuite cette dernière fraction à une désagrégation pour accroître sa valeur nutritive et améliorer sa digestibilité.

Patent CA-2447550-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRUNEAU STEPHEN
IPC: G01R11/02
Filed: 2003-11-04
Abstract: A digital meter displaying continuous and accurate cost information as it pertains to instantaneous electricity consumption in a household or elsewhere is proposed. The device informs electricity consumers of their instantaneous and cumulative expenditure on electricity thus assisting in the detection of energy wastage and empowering the consumer to make informed choices regarding consumption habits. The unit is comprised of a small sensor that is placed on or near the glass of the utility power meter (usually outdoors), a digital display device placed in a convenient location inside the premises, and a wire connecting the two components. Variations of the concept and proposed device are the use of wireless technology for data transfer between the sensor and display and the use of a personal computer for display in place of a dedicated display unit. The operation of the device is analogous to a digital bicycle speedometer/odometer in that the rate of revolution of a wheel (in this case the disk inside the utility meter) is determined through sensor input and the rate, and "distance" are displayed on an LCD device. In the case of the proposed device the reflective characteristics of the utility meter disk are utilized to detect angular speed, day and night, via a light emitting and receiving sensor. The angular speed and cumulative quantity are then displayed on the LCD device positioned away from the sensor. To obtain and display accurate "cost" readings the user need only calibrate the proposed device once with the utility meter conversion factor (printed on all utility meters), and, with the user's electricity cost rate as printed on power bills.

Title: Method for monitoring wood-drying kiln state
Inventor: RISTEA CATALIN
IPC: G05D22/02
Filed: 2003-12-03
Abstract: The method utilizes a known good set of moisture content data for wood dried in a kiln under set conditions to estimate parameters for a Lognormal distribution which approximates the moisture content data for those conditions. The method creates control charts which monitor some of these parameters. The method also takes data from subsequent kiln charges and transforms it to be represented on the control charts. The method uses this representation to determine if the kiln is operating under out-of-control conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems for circulating water in a potable water piping network to prevent the stagnation of water in this piping network. Several systems are disclosed wherein partitioned pipes; pumps, partitioned headers, check valves, and scoop inserts are used to keep the water in movement inside the pipes. The present invention comprises several pumping arrangements for circulating water inside f re hydrant laterals and inside the branch pipes along dead-end streets where most of the water stagnation occurs. Although partitioned pipes are used and opposite flows are induced in opposite pipe halves, full pipe flow to each hydrant is maintainable in case of emergency. Inside buildings, the water is kept in movement inside a loop pipe that extends close to each water outlet such that the water is maintained fresh at each outlet.
