Patent CA-2358766-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HALLIT RAYMOND I
IPC: F23D14/66
Filed: 2001-10-11
Abstract: A variable firing rate fuel burner has a tubular body configuration defined by a central pilot tube coaxially circumscribed by intermediate and outer firing tubes. A pilot fuel-air mixture is flowed through the pilot tube and ignited to maintain a pilot flame at the open outlet end of the burner body. During firing of the burner, separate fuel-air mixtures are flowed through an intermediate annulus between the intermediate firing tube and the pilot tube, and an outer annulus between the intermediate firing tube and the outer firing tube. As these fuel-air mixtures exit the burner body they are ignited by the pilot flame, with the fuel-air mixture exiting the outer annulus serving as a flame shaping mechanism to provide the overall burner flame with a controlled, elongated shape. By using two separate fuel-air mixture flows surrounding the pilot fuel-air mixture flow, the firing rate of the burner may be easily modulated, and the burner may be simultaneously operated with two different types of fuel.

Title: Partial imaging of a substrate with superimposed layers
Inventor: CLARE ANDREW WALTER N
IPC: B44C1/17
Filed: 2000-02-03
Abstract: A method of partially imaging an imaging surface of a substrate (50) with a plurality of layers of marking material (10) which have at least one common boundary within a print pattern that covers only certain portions of the substrate and not other portions of the substrate.  The method includes applying initial superimposed layers of marking material (10) to a base layer (23) and removing portions of the initial superimposed layers of marking material and leaving the desired residual layer portions in the desired print pattern directly applied to the imaging surface of the substrate. The method typically includes the transfer of marking material onto the imaging surface of the substrate.  The method has many variants, which can be used to make one-way or other vision control panels, typically using a ceramic ink decal carrier to image a glass sheet with ceramic ink that is then fused onto the glass, which is optionally tempered, in a suitable furnace. Other uses include security printing, seals and labels and a variety of display panels.

Title: Streaming method and system for fibre channel network devices
Inventor: ARROYO KEITH M
IPC: G06F3/00
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: A system and method for processing commands to network target devices (56) through an SCSI router (54) in a Fibre Channel network (10) having a plurality of Fibre Channel hosts (52). The system and method are implemented in the SCSI  router and include receiving a command from one of the hosts and, if the command is for a transfer of data larger than a threshold size, streaming the data to the target device. When a presize memory block is free, a data block is requested from the Fibre Channel host that issued the command. The SCSI  router receives data blocks and stores them in a FIFO queue until an initial number of data blocks are stored in the FIFO queue. Data blocks are then forwarded to the target device until a trigger number of blocks remain in the queue. Additional data blocks are requested and received from the host simultaneously with the forwarding of data blocks to the target device. The target device requests data blocks from the SCSI router until all of the data associated with the command has been transferred.

Title: Clapet de non retour
Inventor: HORTON DAVID
IPC: F16K15/14
Filed: 2000-06-14
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un clapet de non retour (10), notamment du type communément appelé bec de canard. Ce clapet comprend un corps de clapet (12) et une membrane de clapet (14). Le corps de clapet (12) est généralement tubulaire et comprend un passage allongé (16) avec des extrémités opposées d'entrée (18) et de sortie (20). La membrane de clapet (14) consiste en un diaphragme généralement conique, formé intégralement avec le corps de clapet (12). Le diaphragme (14) présente un orifice ou ouverture (22) qui se replie et est situé sur ou au voisinage du sommet du cône. Le diaphragme conique (14) est orienté avec son sommet pointant vers le bas. Le matériau souple de façon résiliente à partir duquel le diaphragme (14) est formé assure l'obstruction ou la fermeture de l'ouverture (22) du diaphragme (14), en position repliée, afin d'éviter l'écoulement de fluide dans le sens inverse, c'est-à-dire le retour, en direction de l'entrée. La mise en pression de fluide dans le passage (16), côté entrée (18) du diaphragme (14), provoque la déflexion du diaphragme afin d'ouvrir l'ouverture (22) pour permettre au fluide de s'écouler à travers le passage, uniquement de l'entrée (18) à la sortie (20). Une membrane perméable dans un seul sens peut également être fabriquée à partir d'un panneau ou d'une feuille intégrant plusieurs de ces clapets de non retour, en bec de canard, repliables, à la surface dudit panneau ou de ladite feuille.

Patent CA-2385953-A1 (CA)
Title: Water treatment system and method
Inventor: BAIN THOMAS W
IPC: C02F1/00
Filed: 2002-05-10
Abstract: A method of handling grey water and optionally at least a portion of the black water for disposal from vehicles such as boats, recreational vehicles or rural dwellings such as cottages, camps and the like, not having direct access to sewer systems, involves the treatment of such waste water with ozone. A batch system is used whereby a predetermined quantity of water to be treated is captured in a treatment tank. A circulating pump withdraws water from the tank and pushes the water along a treatment conduit, the conduit containing an ozone/water mixer and returns the water to the treatment tank. The treatment conduit has a discharge valve that is maintained in a closed position for a selected period of time. Ozone is fed to the ozone/water mixer from an ozone generator which is advantageously fitted with an air pump to pressurize the feed gas. After the selected treatment time, the batch is discharged to waste through the discharge valve.      Advantageously, the ozone generator can also be used to disinfect raw water from a lake or stream to enhance its usability on board a vessel or in a rural dwelling.

Title: Image-synchronized multichannel biomedical data acquisition system
Inventor: HSIAO HONGWEI
IPC: G16H30/40
Filed: 2000-10-12
Abstract: A new video-synchronized multi-channel data acquisition system has been developed for frequency-domain muscle fatigue research. The system records storage-intensive video images onto a video tape, and simultaneously acquires biomedical data and video time codes onto a computer hard disk to achieve high-speed recording a long duration. A video time-code-bridge-file was created by the computer to synchronize the biomedical data with the recorded video frames in realtime. The two-column time-code-bridge-file matches each video frame-start with the corresponding index number of the acquired data. With the bridge file, the system is able to automatically search and output a frame of the acquired multi-channel data correspondent to a given video frame, and also able to search and display a video frame correspondent to a given frame of acquired multi-channel data. Currently, this system is capable of recording 30 minutes of video-synchronized multi-channel biological data with the summed data rate of 2.16 Mbit/sec and synchronization accuracy of 0.22 mS.
