Patent CA-2370932-A1 (CA)
Title: Stud tensioning device for flange cover
Inventor: KLICK RICHARD
IPC: G21C13/06
Filed: 2000-04-14
Abstract: A mechanism (1) for selectively securing a cover (14) to a flange (12) of a pressure vessel. A plurality of such devices can be employed, using a plu-rality of studs (10) that extend through matching openings in the flange (12) and cover (14). A movable anchor plate (18) or plates, also with holes (20) through which each stud (10) extends, is disposed adjacent to the flange (12) or cover (14).  The head of each stud (10) will fit through its associated hole (20) of the anchor plate (18) (and into the opening of the closer one of the flange (12) or cover (14)) only if the anchor plate (18) is properly oriented. When the anchor plate (10) is so oriented, a piston head (l0a) at the opposite end of the stud (10) can be actuated away from the flange (12) and cover (14) to retract the stud head (42) into the opening (20) of the flange (12) or cover (14). This protects the stud (10) when the cover is disen-gaged from the flange (12). The stud (10) can be biased in the opposite direction to permit the anchor plate (18) to be reoriented into a position in which the stud head (42) cannot pass through the anchor plate (18), so the stud (10) can clamp the flange (12) and cover (14) together.

Title: Apparatus for measuring a gravitational attraction of the earth
Inventor: COUTURE GILLES
IPC: G01V7/04
Filed: 2002-02-25
Abstract: Apparatus for measuring gravitational attraction of the Earth comprising a loop formed from a superconductor material. The loop being divided into a first portion and a second portion having a predetermined length and configuration. The loop being positioned under predetermined angle with respect to a horizontal plane. There are also means for initiation of a flow of superconducting carriers in each of first and second portions, and at least one phase shift inducing means formed in the loop. The first portion being positioned with respect to the second portion in such a way that the superconducting carriers conducted through the first portion spend a period of time at a different gravitational potential of the Earth than superconducting carriers conducted through the second portion, thus creating a gravitationally induced phase shift. The apparatus being completely isolated from influence of any external magnetic field. There also shown a method of measuring an absolute value of gravity of the Earth including measuring the current flowing through the superconductor loop of the apparatus at initial position, tilting the apparatus by tilting means under predetermined angle, wherein the current flowing through the superconductor loop is being continuously measured during tilting of the apparatus, measuring the current flowing through the superconductor loop at a final position. The tilting means are adapted to facilitate a precise control of an angular displacement of the apparatus from the initial position to the final position.

Title: Device and method for pathogen inactivation of therapeutic fluids with sterilizing radiation
Inventor: BOGGS DANIEL R
IPC: A61L2/10
Filed: 2001-01-26
Abstract: A device and method for inactivating pathogens in therapeutic fluids with sterilizing radiation in a continuous thin fluid flow arrangement that exhibits radiation dose uniformity for fluids having high optical densities. Radiation dose uniformity is achieved in part through a "carrying" mechanism that moves or carries the fluid, thereby eliminating a channel flow velocity profile where flow volumes near the channel walls run the risk of overexposure to the radiation due to very large residence times within the channel. The device comprises a relatively flat belt chamber (22) connected to a fluid flow through an inlet (24) and an outlet (26) on the belt chamber (22). The belt chamber (22) has a top surface (28) and a bottom surface (30). A radiation permeable plate (32) is disposed adjacent the top surface (28) of the belt chamber (22) and is in contact with the belt chamber (22). A radiation source (42) is provided adjacent to the plate (32) adjacent to a side opposite the belt chamber (22). A belt (34) having a plurality of flexible vanes (36) is disposed adjacent the bottom surface (30) of the belt chamber (22) such that the vanes (36) make contact with the belt chamber (22). The belt is driven by a roller mechanism (38) in the direction of the fluid flow. As the fluid flows through the belt chamber (22), the flexible vanes (36) provide a squeegee-like mechanism to move the fluid through the belt chamber (22) in discrete packets (40) defined by a pair of vanes (36). As the packets of fluid move through the belt chamber, they are exposed to sterilizing radiation passing through the plate (32).
