Patent CA-2508694-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FRASER CHRISTINE A
IPC: B65D77/06
Filed: 2003-11-26
Abstract: The method of installing an alcohol beverage bag (10) into a container (12) such as a beer keg through an aperture (46) in the container has the steps of folding the bag into overlapping panels so as to have a cross-sectional area able to pass through the aperture of the container and then inserting the folded bag through the aperture and into the container. The beverage bag comprises first (14) and second (16) rectangular panels having peripheral edges (22) welded together to form a first seam (18). Each panel has an area larger than a cross-sectional area for the keg and the panels are sized relative to the keg cross-sectional area to permit the panels to be forced apart during bag filling so as to expand bag internal space to approximate the volume of the keg. The bag has an open neck (30) member passing through an aperture of the first panel and welded thereto to form a second seam (32). The aperture in the first panel of the bag is preferably offset from the center (26) of the panel to reduce the likelihood of the first seam of the bag being bunched together and pulled at one time through the keg aperture during bag extraction. Consequently, less stress is placed on the seams during bag extraction from the keg thereby enhancing the recycling life of the bag.

Title: Tray carrier with ultraphobic surfaces
Inventor: EXTRAND CHARLES W
IPC: B01L99/00
Filed: 2004-04-14
Abstract: A tray carrier with ultraphobic surfaces for promoting more effective cleaning and drying of the carrier. Entire surfaces or portions of surfaces of a carrier (12) are made ultraphobic. The ultraphobic surfaces of the carrier cause liquids that may come in contact with the surface, such as may be used in cleaning, to quickly and easily roll off without leaving a liquid film or substantial number of liquid droplets. As a result, less time and energy is expended in drying the surfaces, and redeposited residue is minimized, thereby improving overall process quality. In addition, the ultraphobic surfaces may be resistant to initial deposition of contaminants, where the contaminants may be in liquid or vapor form.

Title: A method and apparatus for creating a multiple loop vco
Inventor: WILLIS ANDRE
IPC: H03L7/22
Filed: 2006-03-07
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus used to create an idealized voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) which allows very high modulation rates without the expected phase noise (jitter) which nominally comes from wide bandwidth VCOs. In this fashion, high quality VCOs that typically offer pure signals at the cost of small tuning bandwidths can be enhanced to create idealized VCOs that offer both high quality (low jitter) and high tuning bandwidths. A high-frequency phase modulator and control voltage processing is used in conjunction with a natural VCO to create a method and apparatus in accordance with the invention. The control voltage processing includes separation of frequency components of the controlling voltage and electrical integration of high-frequency control voltage components directed to the phase modulator to create the overall voltage-to-frequency transfer function for the ideal VCO.
