Title: Tamper evident bolt security seal
Inventor: DEBRODY ROBERT
IPC: G09F3/03
Filed: 2013-02-20
Abstract: The invention provides an improved tamper evident bolt security seal for applications such as ensuring shipping containers have not been accessed in overseas transport between a factory and a distributor. The tamper evident security seal includes a locking unit and a bolt with a groove. In operation, the bolt is inserted into the locking unit until the groove is aligned with a ring in the locking unit. This action expands the ring to a smaller inner diameter such that when the bolt is retracted in an opposite withdrawal direction, the bolt is unable to be removed from the locking unit without permanent damage taking place. Covers and housing portions are implemented to protect locking unit components. If the cover or housing portions are removed in an attempt to access the locking unit, permanent damage will be done to the seal.

Filed: 2013-03-22
Abstract: An integrated heat pump and water heating circuit for space heating and cooling and heating domestic water. The circuit includes a first heat exchanger (20) for the domestic water, a second heat exchanger (22) for the source (heat source/sink) with a first dedicated expansion valve (24), and a third exchanger (30) for the space with a second dedicated expansion valve (34). The circuit has four modes of operation. In the first mode, the space is cooled and heat is rejected to the source. In the second mode, the space is heated while heat is absorbed from the source. In the third mode, the circuit absorbs heat from the source and heats the water supply. In a fourth mode, the water supply is heated and the space is cooled simultaneously. In each mode, one heat exchanger is inactive, and the charge from the inactive heat exchanger is reclaimed to the suction side of the compressor.

This compound 1 is traditionally obtained only as an oil and thus handling and refining were difficult. [Solution] A crystal of the compound 1 is obtained. A method of crystallizing the same is also established. Furthermore, a simple refining method is also found which comprises stirring in suspension the crystal in a solvent. Since the compound 1 can be obtained as a crystal, it is easier to handle and long term storage is possible.
