Patent CA-2167685-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GAMON VINCENTE
IPC: F02B57/08
Filed: 1994-07-29
Abstract: This engine includes an engine block rotatably mounted on a support and including a central chamber communicating with outwardly protruding radial piston chambers closed by cylinder heads. A crank shaft is rotatably mounted in the engine block parallel to the rotation axis of the latter and radially offset therefrom. A drive train couples the engine block with the crank shaft for causing rotation of the two in the same direction and at equal rotational speed. A piston is reciprocable in each piston chamber and all the pistons are linked by connecting rods to the crank shaft at connecting points which are angularly advanced in the direction of rotation of the engine block relative to the longitudinal axes of the piston chambers. It follows that the combustion stroke is effected while the connecting rods exert a maximal torque on the crank shaft.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FR94/01167 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 6, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 6, 1996 PCT Filed Oct. 6, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/09596 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 13, 1995Adjustable flow electromagnetic valve having a closing assembly (8) movable within a chamber (7) with a passage (3) linked to a high pressure area and a passage (4) linked to a low pressure area. The electromagnetic valve is designed such that the closing assembly consists of a valve (8) freely movable within the chamber (7). The disk-shaped valve (8) is flat, light and non-deformable and is capable of being automatically brought to its fluid flow position when pressure within the inlet passage (HP) (5) tends to a value approaching a predefined set pressure; the electromagnetic valve is also designed such that fluid flow through the valve (8) is achieved by openings (10) formed in the thickness of the valve, the openings being arranged in a median area outside the circumference of the inlet passage (3) so that the latter can be closed when the valve (8) is electromagnetically returned. It is further characterized by adjusting the electromagnetic return force exerted by the electromagnet for placing the valve (8) at a predetermined point between opening and closing to provide a predetermined constant flow, and for alternately shifting it, according to a predetermined frequency, to provide an adjustable alternating flow of the same frequency and of variable amplitude, resulting in sequential, pulsed, rhythmic operation.

Abstract: A Broadband Intelligent Network employs an ATM fast-packet (51) switch to route signaling cells from a calling party (52) to a switch port (53) directly connected to a network controller (64). The signaling cells carry a service request for download of a program module or data from a network resource unit (63) to the calling party, or for download of a program module or data from the calling party apparatus to a network host resource unit, or for service circuit service to the calling party or in a connection path between the calling party and a called party, or for a message broadcast. The network controller (64) responds to the information in the signaling cells and establishes the necessary switched virtual connections in the ATM switch (51) to provide the requested services. A service creation program (31) may be downloaded to the customer from the network (61), und used by the customer to create a new service script which is subsequently downloaded to the network for execution.

Title: Inclined separation tank
Inventor: KOMISTEK STEVE
IPC: B01D17/025
Filed: 1996-12-23
Abstract: A free water knock-out vessel is disclosed and which is tilted off its horizontal axis thereby increasing the gravitational effect in the separation process of an oil-water emulsion within the vessel. This results also in wider liquid bands being developed therein so that clean water and pure oil may be drawn off the vessel sooner than would be the case with a horizontal vessel.  A gently inclined, perforated and partially blocked inlet nozzle allows liquid to be introduced into the vessel with less separation being required.  Baffles are strategically located to enhance separation.
