Patent CA-2803347-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROBAKOWSKI EDWARD
IPC: C02F5/00
Filed: 2011-06-22
Abstract: A water treatment system includes a weak acid cation resin where a portion of the feed water is exposed to the resin and then blended with untreated feed water to produce a stream of water with reduced mineral scaling and potential. Feed water is split into a first fluid stream, fed to a bypass conduit and a second fluid stream that is conveyed through a weak acid cation treatment bed. After passing through the bed, the treated fluid is combined with the bypass fluid stream to produce a blended feed water at the outlet. The ratio of the bypass fluid stream and treated fluid stream is a function of pH and L.S.I. A controller and associated sensors may control the relative flow rates between the bypass fluid stream and the treated stream to maintain a predetermined water parameter such pH, L.S.I., etc. within a predetermined range.

Abstract: A stackable concrete wall block is disclosed having a prism shaped body with front, rear top and bottom faces, in a stacked condition, and at least a pair of side walls for placement opposite a like block placed side by side to the wall block, whereby a lip protrudes from at least one of the sidewalls and is coplanar with the front face for spacing the body of the block from that of a like block placed adjacent thereto. As is the case with tapered blocks known in the art, this spacing allows the assembly of curved walls. However, a prism shaped block with parallel side walls and a lip is more easily manufactured than a tapered block with angled side walls, since no movable mold walls are required, when the block is made in a dry casting process. The front face and lip can have an embossed surface structure.

Title: Pre-loaded septum for use with an access port
Inventor: HONARYAR BABAK
IPC: A61F5/00
Filed: 2012-11-07
Abstract: Generally described herein are apparatus, systems and methods related to a pre-loaded septum insertable in an access port housing for increasing the control of the compression within the septum and the interference between the septum and the housing. For example, a pair of washers having mating portions may be positioned on respective sides of a rubber septum and bent such that the mating portions of one of the washer are interlocked with the mating portions of the other washer, the interlocked portions forming a tight ring about the septum and generating lateral compression on the septum, thereby "loading" the septum. In addition, fluid seals made of a rubber material with lower durometer than the rubber septum may be used at the interface between the rubber septum and the housing to enhance the fluid sealing functionality while promoting the self-sealing features of the rubber septum.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for determining a mass-flow of a fluid (20), comprising a line (10) for conducting said fluid (20) in a flow direction to a contact with a heat exchanger (30), a first temperature measurement point (51) being arranged upstream of said heat exchanger (30) in order to determine a first fluid temperature, a second temperature measurement point (52) being arranged downstream of the heat exchanger (30) in order to determine a second fluid temperature, and said heat exchanger (30) having a surface temperature (33) that is constant in the flow direction and can be recorded by a third temperature measurement point (53). The invention also relates to a method for determining a mass-flow of a fluid (20), in which a series of measurements are taken at the first temperature measurement point (51), at a constant mass-flow and constant fluid temperature, with a modified heat output (40) being applied to the fluid each time. The data sets are expanded with parameters for the respective systematic errors, and are transferred to two analytical functions A and B which are based solely on the same variables. The A and B functions formed in this manner are then merged together to obtain a common quantity of data. Finally, the systematic errors are determined as free fit-parameters of a fit-function in which the scattering of the data quantity is minimised. The mass-flow is supplied by the fit-function, and its exactitude depends on statistical uncertainties only.
