Patent CA-2795178-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GIVENS RAY
IPC: B66C7/08
Filed: 2011-01-24
Abstract: In one aspect, the invention is directed to an overhead crane with one or more bridge rails, that incorporates a reinforcement truss into its one or more bridge rails so as to reduce the overall mass of the one or more bridge rails. This facilitates movement of a load carried by the bridge by an operator to a destination point, particularly in embodiments wherein the one or more bridge rails do not have any bridge drive motors thereon. Reducing the mass of the bridge can increase the amount of lifted load that can comfortably be maneuvered by an operator, particularly when the bridge is manually moved along the runway. Additionally, reducing the mass of the bridge reduces the momentum associated with the bridge, which can increase the amount of control that the operator has when it is desired to stop the bridge when the load has been maneuvered to its desired destination point. The second reinforcement members may have first and second ends that are inserted into receiving apertures in the first reinforcement member and in a bracket that mounts to the bridge rail respectively. In embodiments wherein the bridge includes two rails and is capable of supporting a load in such a way as to generate a downward force that is offset from the bridge axis, the second reinforcement members may be connected to the first reinforcement member and to brackets in such a way as to prevent the withdrawal of the second reinforcement members from the receiving apertures.

Title: Multiple time windows for extending the range of an assay
Inventor: DIMAGNO THEODORE J
IPC: G01N35/00
Filed: 2013-01-30
Abstract: Disclosed is a use of reaction kinetics to generate multiple dose-response curves from a single reaction, thus eliminating the need to run a second experiment with additional sample, reagents, and time to cover a broader measuring range than is available in a standard assay. Using a single protocol, the differences in the reaction kinetics for different sample concentrations yield different responses at different measurement times. Selection of the appropriate dose-response curve cross- section increases the measuring range and accuracy of the assay from a single reaction without substantially increasing imprecision. Several overlapping dose-response curves are pieced together to provide a standard curve to ensure continuity throughout the expanded measuring range.

Title: Reverse flow regenerative apparatus and method
Inventor: RAUCH EDWIN L
IPC: F27D17/00
Filed: 2011-12-20
Abstract: An exemplary embodiment provides a regenerative burner apparatus. The apparatus includes a burner housing having a gas channel extending there-through, and a single-stage heat regenerator equipped with a housing enclosing a fluid-porous heat regenerative media bed having an upper surface and a lower surface. The housing has an opening communicating with the exterior of the apparatus. A first gas passageway in said housing directly interconnects the gas channel of the burner housing and the lower surface of the heat regenerative media bed. A second gas passageway in the housing interconnects the opening in the housing communicating with the exterior and the upper surface of the heat regenerative media bed. The first and second gas passageways are in communication with each other only through the heat regenerative media bed. This arrangement allows hot waste combustion gases to pass upwardly through the media bed so that any condensable contaminant in the gases condenses to a liquid in the media bed and flows out of the bed under gravity before becoming solid. The liquid contaminant may then be removed from the regenerator from a position below the media bed.
