Patent CA-2473519-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAPOINTE PATRICK
IPC: C03C17/00
Filed: 2003-01-23
Abstract: La présente invention a trait à une encre flexographique à base d'eau dans laquelle un polymère biodégradable, tel qu'un polyhydroxyalcanoate (PHA), remplace des résines polymériques classiques peu ou non biodégradables par exemple. Les PHA sont utilisés sous la forme d'une suspension de latex dans l'eau, donc la présente invention a trait à un nouveau mélange pigment/latex. Le PHA sous forme de latex constitue un véhicule fluide dans lequel tous les constituants requis pour former une encre flexographique sont ajoutés, c'est à dire, des pigments, de la cire et/ou un liant, ainsi qu'un solvant, le cas échéant. Les PHA sont principalement responsables de la biodégradabilité de l'encre flexographique à base d'eau. L'invention a également trait à un procédé de production d'une composition aqueuse avec des propriétés améliorées de biodégradabilité.

Title: Water heater with normally closed air inlet damper
Inventor: SCANLON JOHN H
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 2005-03-16
Abstract: A fuel-fired, power vented water heater has a combustion chamber with an outer wall portion defined by an arrestor plate in which flame quenching air inlet openings are formed. All combustion air entering the combustion chamber must first pass through an air inlet plenum extending outwardly from the arrestor plate and then pass inwardly through the flame quenching openings into the combustion chamber. The air inlet plenum is provided with a normally closed inlet damper which automatically closes during non-firing periods of the water heater to prevent passage of combustion air (and extraneous flammable vapors, if present, adjacent the water heater) into the combustion chamber, and opens during firing periods of the water heater to permit operative combustion air delivery to the combustion chamber.

Abstract: A multiplexed motion picture stream (e.g., video) is demultiplexed. The motion picture stream contains one or more images from each of a plurality of camera sources. The process of demultiplexing the stream is automated and does not require user intervention. The stream is demultiplexed by identifying images within the image stream and comparing the images to representative images from camera sources. During comparison a mismatch value is determined and is compared to a mismatch threshold. If the mismatch value is below the mismatch threshold, the image is assigned to a channel associated with the camera. In some embodiments after demultiplexing, stored motion picture images of different channels can be viewed simultaneously at the same image by advancing to a given image of only one stored channel.
