Patent CA-2165681-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHELTON MICHAEL B
IPC: A61N1/378
Filed: 1994-05-10
Abstract: L'invention concerne un stimulateur cardiaque implantable présentant des amplitudes d'impulsion stimulantes programmables sélectionnables au moyen d'une unité de programmation externe. Ledit stimulateur cardiaque est doté d'un circuit pour la pompe à charge permettant de produire une tension d'impulsion stimulante sur un condensateur de sortie. Le condensateur de sortie est chargé à un niveau sélectionné identifié par une valeur d'amplitude à plusieurs bits communiquée au dispositif implanté depuis le programmateur externe. Ledit stimulateur cardiaque est également doté d'un circuit conçu pour contrôler le niveau de déplétion de sa pile et pour générer un signal indicateur lorsque le niveau de déplétion de la pile dépasse un niveau prédéterminé. Un circuit comparateur activé sélectivement conçu pour réguler la charge du condensateur de sortie est associé au circuit de la pompe à charge. Avant la génération du signal indicateur, le circuit de la pompe à charge reste désactivé pour certaines amplitudes de sortie programmées, le niveau de charge du condensateur de sortie étant proportionnel à la tension de la pile. Après l'émission du signal indicateur, le circuit comparateur est activé de manière à réguler la charge du condensateur de sortie. Lorsque le circuit comparateur est activé pour charger le condensateur, la tension résultante produite sur le condensateur est proportionnelle à une tension de référence constante prédéterminée. La longénité du dispositif est optimisée par non activation du circuit comparateur au cours des phases initiales de déplétion de la pile, lorsque la tension de sortie de cette dernière est relativement stable.

Patent CA-2168481-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KELLER SILVANO
IPC: B24C5/02
Filed: 1996-01-31
Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for sand-blasting the inner walls of bores, tubes, pipes and the like, comprising a housing with a first tube member for feeding blasting material and a second tube member for feeding pressurized air. The sec-ond tube member is provided with a curved end portion, the ori-fice thereof being located beyond the outlet opening of the first tube member. The second tube member, together with its end portion, is rotatable around the central longitudinal axis of the first tube member. Thus, the stream of blasting material escaping from the outlet of the first tube member is deflected and accelerated under the influence of the stream of pressur-ized air escaping from the curved end portion of the second tube member. Due to the provision of such a touchless deflec-tion, the wear of the apparatus can be substantially reduced.

Patent CA-2200277-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FAST PETER
IPC: B01J20/34
Filed: 1997-03-18
Abstract: Conventional regenerative adsorption processes used to cleanse water of organic substances contained in it are of limited use if, because of a low content of organic substances contained in the water, the charge in the adsorber is so small that the condensed water-vapor desorbate does not form two phases, or if the organic components dissolve easily in water and are thus difficult to separate from the condensed desorbate after desorption has taken place.           The process according to the present invention improves phase separation by feeding back the aqueous phase of the desorbate onto a charged adsorber before its desorption, in order to increase the charge; it also reduces the quantity of water vapor required for desorption by the application of additional external heating.            Purification of industrial process water or ground water.

Title: Method and apparatus for automatically providing jet engine thrust ratings to avionic systems
Inventor: PAULSON CLEMENT VAL
IPC: G05D1/10
Filed: 1997-05-02
Abstract: An avionic system (102) in which engine thrust rating data is transmitted from electronic engine controllers (108a and 108b) to flight management computer/thrust management computers (120a and 120b) via digital data buses (110a, 110c, and 114) is disclosed. The flight management computer/thrust management computers (120a and 120b) select the proper data set for the specified engine thrust rating upon power-up. If the thrust rating changes, the flight management computer/thrust management computers (120a and 120b) select a new data set corresponding to the new thrust rating as received over the digital data bus (110a, 110c, and 114). This is accomplished without the need to change aircraft wiring. The flight management computer/thrust management computers (120a and 120b) store the thrust rating in nonvolatile memory (126), allowing the flight management computer/thrust management computers (120a and 120b) to use the stored value to initialize relevant settings according to current engine thrust rating.
