Patent CA-2515800-C (CA)
Title: Mecanisme de transformation de mouvement rotatif en mouvement oscillant
Inventor: KAWAAI OSAMU
IPC: F16H25/14
Filed: 2003-03-28
Granted: 2010-07-27
Abstract: L'invention concerne un mécanisme de conversion de rotation en oscillation qui permet de convertir efficacement un mouvement rotatif en un mouvement oscillatoire à grande échelle (mouvement rotatif alternatif). Ce mécanisme de conversion de rotation en oscillation (1) comprend un arbre rotatif (2), un arbre oscillatoire (3) et un élément oscillatoire (4). L'arbre rotatif (2) comprend une partie verticale (2A) reliée à un moteur et une partie (2C) inclinée contre la partie verticale (2A). L'élément oscillatoire (4) est fixé à l'arbre oscillatoire (3). La partie inclinée (2C), qui est prise entre les surfaces de serrage (4D, 4E) de l'élément oscillatoire (4), se déplace tout en touchant la surface de serrage (4D) ou (4E) à mesure que l'arbre rotatif (2) tourne afin de pousser la surface de serrage (4D) ou (4E), faisant ainsi osciller l'élément oscillatoire (4) vers la gauche et la droite. Par conséquent, l'arbre oscillatoire (3) effectue un mouvement rotatif alternatif.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un traitement désinfectant de systèmes d'eau potable autonomes. Une lampe ou des lampes sont situées à l'intérieur d'au moins un système d'éléments dans lequel l'eau réside lors du fonctionnement du système. Ledit système fonctionne en tant que réservoir d'eau, chauffe-eau, filtre à eau ou autre élément contenant un volume d'eau. Un effet radioactif et microbien consécutif à une exposition à un rayonnement UV peut être obtenu dans le contenant ou autre élément. La matière radioactive peut être du dioxyde d'étain, du dioxyde de titane, ou une autre matière qui produit des ions hydroxyles en réponse à une exposition aux UV. Les ions hydroxyles s'écoulent du contenant ou d'un autre élément vers la tuyauterie et d'autres éléments de manière à attaquer/inhiber l'action microbienne dans le système. Les lampes sont montées dans des manchons de quartz pour être immergées dans l'eau ou dans d'autres éléments. Les manchons de quartz destinés à empêcher une détérioration par vibrations peuvent également être utilisés dans le système pour empêcher une détérioration par frottement dans des conditions de gel.

Title: Skin dressings containing oxidoreductase enzyme
Inventor: DAVIS PAUL JAMES
IPC: C12N9/02
Filed: 2004-06-04
Granted: 2012-01-10
Abstract: A skin dressing comprises a first dressing component (16) carrying oxidoreductase enzyme in dried condition; and a second dressing component (18) carrying a source of water, such that when the first and second dressing components are placed in fluid communication with each other, water migrates from the second component towards the first comportent and acts to hydrate enzyme carried by the first component, at least at the surface of the first component. The dressing components are kept separate before use, e.g. being sealed in separate sterile, water-impervious packages such as laminated aluminium foil pouches. In use of the dressing, the second dressing component is located on the skin of a human or animal, e.g. over a wound to be treated or on a region of skin to be treated for cosmetic or therapeutic purposes such as for treatment of acne or other skin conditions. The first dressing component is placed on top of the second component in fluid communication therewith. In embodiments comprising only first and second dressing components, the first dressing component is placed in direct contact with the second dressing component. Water from the second component migrates towards the first comportent and acts to hydrate enzyme carried by the first component, at least at points of contact at the interface between the first and second components. Once hydrated, the oxidoreductase enzyme can immediately begin functioning in known manner with beneficial effects.

Patent CA-2575950-C (CA)
Title: Device for loading a vessel with solid particles and method using said device
Inventor: PATUREAUX THIERRY
IPC: B65G69/16
Filed: 2005-08-05
Granted: 2012-10-09
Abstract: The device comprises a sleeve (1), preferably flexible and cylindrical, in which the particles circulate from top to bottom. Inside the sleeve there is at least one helical ramp (2) fixed to and wound round a central axis (3) and with a size such that the distance between the external edge (4) of the ramp and the sleeve is less than the dimension of the solid particles to be introduced : The central axis is a rod or a flexible or rigid tube, or is formed of a number of flexible or rigid axial elements articulates relative to each other. These axial elements are between 6cm and 5m long, preferably between 0.5 and 2m long and are articulates relative to each other by intermediate elements, which are preferably flexible and which do not form an obstacle to the free flow of the solid particles inside the sleeve between two helical ramps. The intermediate elements are slings, cords, cables, chains or flexible tubes and are between 5cm and 5m long, preferably between 0.5 and 2m long. The helical ramp has a brush structure; the number and rigidity of the bristles forming the brush are sufficient to support the weight of the particles at maximum load. The pitch of the helix is between 5 and 100cm, preferably between 15 and 80cm. The flexible sleeve is a woven or knitted fabric, or a plastic material reinforced by fibres or a textile. The flexible sleeve has over all or part of its length two straight folds diametrally opposed to each other, closed at their base by a cut line and each defining a band extending radially towards the outside of the sleeve. The band has means of fixing the sleeve. The internal diameter of the sleeve is between 50 and 400mm, preferably between 100 and 200mm. An independent claim is made for a method of using such a device, by fixing a loading device as described above by its top end to the level of an opening in the top part of the vessel and introduction of the particles via the top end of the device. The particles leaving the lower end of the loading device are spread by an operator over the whole of the base of the vessel. The loading device is used without the flexible sleeve, with the walls of the filled vessel carrying out its function. In this case, the size of the helical ramp is such that the distance between the external edge of the ramp and the wall of the reactor is less than the size of the solid particles being introduced.
