Patent CA-2146020-A1 (CA)
Title: Method of communicating with a scsi bus device that does not have an assigned scsi address
Inventor: GALLOWAY WILLIAM C
IPC: G06F13/42
Filed: 1993-09-29
Abstract: A SCSI device resides and communicates on the SCSI bus without that device being assigned a SCSI address or corresponding SCSI ID.  The driver software on the host computer directs the SCSI initiator device to select itself as its target, so the initiator then only asserts one bit of the eight bit SCSI data bus. The SCSI device determines when a SELECTION phase is under way and then determines if only one bit has been asserted on the SCSI data bus.  The SCSI device then responds to the initiator as being the target device, thus completing the SELECTION phase.  The initiator and the SCSI device can then communicate as a normal initiator and target would during information transfer stages of the SCSI standard.  This is all done without the SCSI device occupying a normal SCSI address.

Patent CA-2151026-A1 (CA)
Title: Vapor density measurement systems
Inventor: WHORFF FREDERICK MCCLURE
IPC: G01F1/90
Filed: 1995-06-05
Abstract: The relative amount of liquid and vapor flowing in a pipe is measured by mixing the vapor and liquid into a gaseous like single phase mixture and passing the mixture through a venturi constriction to accelerate it.  The pressure drop across the venturi is measured as an indication of the velocity change which varies with the density of the mixture.  Mixtures with more liquid generate more pressure drop.  The average velocity of the pipe contents is also monitored to eliminate pressure drop changes that result from average velocity changes rather than density changes.

Title: Ring roller mill
Inventor: FOLSBERG JAN
IPC: B02C15/06
Filed: 1994-07-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to a ring roller mill which, among other things, can be used in connection with the manufacture of cement for grinding of mineralclinker materials, slags, and similar materials. The mill has a grinding ring (1) and a roller (2). Between the roller (2) and the grinding ring (1), the partially crushed material forms a grinding bed (4) and on each side of the grinding ring (1) dam rings (5) are fitted. On the outer side of the dam rings (5) are fitted collecting jackets (6), to which scoop plates (7) are fixed. The jacket collects the material which flows over the dam ring and by means of the scoop plates the material is lifted round with the collecting jacket. Since the speed of the jacket is lower than the critical speed, the material will drop off from the uppermost part of the jacket, being dispersed towards the bottom of the latter, and is subsequently returned to the grinding path. Effective internal conveyance is achieved with the mill according to the invention, hence eliminating the need for any external conveyance of overflow material.

Title: Pump-protecting valve
Inventor: RAMBOW GERD
IPC: F04D15/00
Filed: 1995-06-21
Abstract: The invention concerns a pump-protecting valve (1) having a valve housing (2), a pump connecting sleeve (4), arranged in a main passage direction (3), and a feed-water connecting connecting sleeve (5) opposite the pump connecting sleeve. A non-return valve disc (10), which is possibly spring-loaded, is mounted so that it is axially displaceable between the pump connecting sleeve and the feed-water connecting sleeve. The nonreturn valve disc (10) actuates an at least single-stage throttle valve (11) which is coaxial thereto, so that this throttle valve (11) is fully open when the non-return valve disc (10) is closed and produces a bypass from the pump connection side to a bypass connection (12) disposed laterally of the main passage direction (3).
