Patent CA-2424365-C (CA)
Inventor: LUUKKANEN MATTI NESTORI
IPC: D21F5/18

Granted: 2009-01-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for drying a fibre-based pulp web (2), and to a drying box (1) used in the method. According to the invention, the drying box (1) contains drying zones (9a-9e), to each one of which hot drying air can be blown independently so that the web can be dried in the various zones at different temperatures. The temperature of the first zone (9a) can thus be lower than that of one or more subsequent zones (9b-9e) to prevent the water in the incoming wet web from boiling. The last zone in the drying box (1) can be a separate cooling zone (11), wherin the web is cooled by indoor air from outside the box. The temperatures can be adjusted by adjusting, with the aid of valves (8), the pressure of the steam, which heats the drying air that is fed into the various ones (9a-9e), on the basis of the temperatures measured by the sensors (23) for the various zones and of the basis weight and moisture measurements carried out on the web (2) that goes into the box (1) and comes out of the box.

Title: Apparatus and method for discharging vapour and liquid
Inventor: JUDGE JOHN F
IPC: F28F9/22
Filed: 2002-01-31
Granted: 2006-12-05
Abstract: An apparatus and associated method for discharging a fluid (20) and a liquid (30, 34) separated from the fluid (20) from an outlet chamber (16) of a heat exchanger (11,15). The outlet chamber (16) is configured to collect the separated liquid (30, 34). The apparatus includes a plate (36) that is positionable in the outlet chamber (16) adjacent to the exit surface (17) to form a channel (38) between the plate (36) and the exit surface (17). The plate (36) is configured to protrude over the outlet tube opening (19) so th at the fluid (20) flowing through the outlet chamber (16) and into the outlet opening (19) pulls the liquid (30, 34) collected in the outlet chamber (16) through the channel (38) and out through the outlet opening (19) with the fluid (20). Because of the plate (36), the fluid (20) exiting through the outlet opening (19) must flow through a decreased area. This decreased area creates a low pressure region. The low pressure region draws the collected liquid (30, 34) through the channel (36) and discharges it through the outle t opening (19) with the fluid (20).

Abstract: A fluid coupler is provided in which a male coupler is brought into a fixed connection condition in which the male coupler is fixedly connected to a female coupler member and retained at a fixed connection position relative to the female coupler member, the fixed connection condition being cancelled or broken when an excessive tension is applied to a fluid line in which the fluid coupler member is installed such that the tension acts on the male and female coupler members to separate then. A first valve is provided between and slidably engaged with the exterior surface of the male coupler member and the interior surface of the female coupler member. The first valve has a through hole having an outer end opening at the outer surface thereof and an inner end opening at the inner surface thereof to fluidly communicate the fluid passages of the male and female coupler members.

Abstract: An embedded loudspeaker system is set forth incorporating at least two asymmetric enclosures having different but overlapping frequency responses in order to achieve a substantially flat frequency response. At least one of the speaker enclosures is preferably ported (bass-reflex system) to provide as much output as possible in the low-frequency range. By using a plurality of speakers at least one of which has a bass reflex enclosure, a monophonic system is provided with a flat frequency response. The dimensions of the speaker enclosures are chosen such that the anti-resonance of one loudspeaker enclosure is compensated for by the resonance of another speaker enclosure, without making use of damping, so that no "notch" appears in the frequency response of the combined system at the listening position

Granted: 2012-11-20
Abstract: Selon l'invention, un système de communications optiques met en oeuvre une correction d'erreurs sans circuit de retour (FEC) afin de corriger des erreurs dans des signaux acheminés par ce système. Des signaux optiques sur le système sont déposés au niveau de noeuds et convertis en signaux électriques par des photodiodes à avalanche (APD) au niveau des noeuds récepteurs. Une puce de FEC agit sur un signal électrique afin de corriger des erreurs. Le taux d'erreurs sert à commander la tension de polarisation de l'APD qui affecte le bruit de signal, et par conséquent le taux d'erreurs. Les erreurs dans un intervalle prédéterminé sont comptées et une augmentation ou une non augmentation avec le temps du taux d'erreurs est déterminée. La tension de polarisation est dérivée de la valeur d'un compteur dont le compte est mis en oeuvre pour chaque intervalle. Si le taux d'erreurs augmente, le sens de comptage est modifié.
