Title: Recovery of aroma gases
Inventor: CARNS LAWRENCE G
IPC: A23F3/20
Filed: 1992-06-29
Abstract: Coffee aroma gases are conveyed to a cryogenic collector in which liquid nitrogen is sprayed directly into the aroma gas stream to rapidly condense the aroma gas and form finely divided particles of coffee aroma frost suspended in a stream of nitrogen gas, while minimizing contact of the cooled gas with the walls of the collector. The suspension of aroma frost particles in gaseous nitrogen is passed through a tubular porous filter to remove the aroma frost particles which collect on the outer surface of the tubular filter, with the nitrogen gas passing through the porous filter and being exhausted from the collector. The porous filter is periodically back pulsed to dislodge aroma frost particles collected on the outer surface of the tubular filter, with the particles being recovered for incorporation in soluble coffee products. <IMAGE>

Patent CA-2080904-A1 (CA)
Title: Optical isolator
Inventor: HIRAI SHIGERU
IPC: G02F1/09
Filed: 1992-02-19
Abstract: ABSTRACT     An optical isolator for use in an optical communication system is independent of the plane of polarization of an incident beam and does not allow this plane to change on the outgoing side.  The isolator comprises a first parallel flat double refractive crystal substance; a first Faraday rotor for rotating the plane of polarization of the beam; a second parallel flat double refractive crystal substance; a second Faraday rotor for rotating the plane of polarization in the direction opposite to that in which the first rotor rotated such plane; a third parallel flat double refractive substance; and permanent magnets for magnetizing the Faraday rotors. Since the Faraday rotors rotate the plane of polarization in opposite directions, this plane does not change between the incident and outgoing sides.  The system has the advantage of being insensitive to changes of temperature or of the wavelength of the light.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating a train positioner for moving one or more railroad cars of a unit train are disclosed.   The positioner is engaged with the train while  the  positioner  is  stopped  at  an  initial location.     The positioner is moved and the train is accelerated to a constant speed.  The energy expended by the positioner in accelerating the train to the constant speed is determined and the apparent mass of the train is calculated from this energy.    From the apparent mass of the train, a maximum force to which the positioner should be  subjected,  and a  deceleration rate,  a deceleration point adequate to stop the train by a predetermined, final location is calculated.   The positioner is decelerated beginning  at  the  deceleration  point  and at  the deceleration rate until the train is stopped by a final location.    In a preferred embodiment, the deceleration rate is also calculated from the apparent mass of the train and the maximum force to which the positioner should be subjected.
