Title: Pressure tube spacer
Inventor: SCOTT DAVID A
IPC: G21C1/20
Filed: 1998-06-09
Abstract: A spacer (18) for maintaining a pressure tube (12) in spaced relation with a calandria tube of a nuclear reactor. The spacer comprising a split ring (20) adapted to be disposed about the outer surface of said pressure tube. The ring has a central annular body portion (21) with a raised bearing surface (22) thereon adapted to contact the inner surface of said calandria tube and prevent contact between said outer surface and said inner surface. An annular land (24, 26) projecting from each side of said central body portion is adapted to receive a collar (30, 32) thereon effective to create an interference fit between said ring and said pressure tube and thereby constrain axial movement of said spacer on said pressure tube. The spacer of the present invention maintains its location on the pressure tube and does not suffer the axial movement which characterizes some conventional spacers. The bearing surface can have a coating to reduce ware and heat transfer.

Patent CA-2295456-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MULCAHY MICHAEL K
IPC: F04C15/00
Filed: 2000-01-11
Abstract: A rotor for an internal gear pump adapted to improve the lubrication of the internal gear parts. A radial groove is added to the inner face of an internal rotor. The groove extends radially between the center of the rotor and an outer diameter of the rotor. The groove provides a communication channel between the outer circumference of the rotor and the parts located within the rotor's inner diameter, namely the idler gear and idler pin. The disclosed grooved rotor improves the flow of fluid to the interface between the idler gear and the idler pin of a typical internal gear pump. Should the lubricating properties of the fluid be reduced and/or the operating pressures of the pump increased, the improved rotor design will provide lubrication of the internal rotary parts, thereby decreasing the friction among the parts and extending the overall productive life of the pump.

Title: Musical sound generating device and method, providing medium, and data recording medium
Inventor: HASHIMOTO TAKESHI
IPC: G10H7/02
Filed: 1999-05-14
Abstract: The leading part of music data for producing a sound effect is uncompressed data, and the other part is compressed data. The music data is stored in a compressed data section (5a). An arithmetic section (51) reads data from the section (5a) and judges whether or not the data is compressed one. If the data is judged to be uncompressed one, the data is transferred through a multiplexer (9) to a loudspeaker (50) and sounded. While the uncompressed data is sounded, the other data is transferred to a decompressing section (52) and decompressed. The decompressed data is stored in a data section (5b) if a post processing of the data is needed, or transferred through a multiplexer (9) to a loudspeaker (50) and sounded if no post processing is needed.
