Patent CA-2259586-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOBAYASHI KATSUYA
IPC: B01F7/16
Filed: 1997-07-10
Abstract: A purification method by mixing and diffusion of a closed water zone involves the steps of sucking bottom layer water and surface layer water, preparing mixed water by mixing them before discharging, and discharging mixed water into a water layer having substantially the same temperature as that of mixed water to form and diffuse a density current of mixed water. Therefore, convection in a vertical direction can be prevented, and mixed water can be quickly diffused across a broad range of a closed water zone.

The supply air heating device comprises heat exchangers (11, 12) provided with flow passages, which permit passage of low temperature supply air, divided flow regions (15) for dividing a heated supply air flow (H) heated by the heat exchangers into first and second heated supply air divided flows (H1, H2), and combustion regions (13, 14) for causing combustion reaction of inflammable substances in the presence of the first heated supply air divided flow (H1).  Heated supply air flow or the first heated supply air divided flow is introduced into the combustion regions, and the inflammable substances are fed thereto, so that the combustion regions causes combustion reaction of the inflammable substances in the presence of the heated supply air flow or the first heated supply air divided flow. High temperature gases generated by the combustion reaction in the combustion regions are exhausted through the heat exchangers. The heat exchangers comprise heat accumulating bodies for contacting for heat transfer with the high temperature gases generated by the combustion reaction in the combustion regions to accumulate heat, and contacting for heat transfer with the low temperature supply air flow to release heat.

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling the transition of an audio signal converter between two operative modes based on a certain characteristic of the audio input signal
Inventor: CHU CHUNG CHEUNG C
IPC: H04J3/17
Filed: 2000-03-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling the transition of a bypass capable codec between operative modes, based on a certain characteristic of the audio data signal processed by the codec. The apparatus relies on a control signal to determine when the codec will switch from one mode to another. This control signal reflects a characteristic of the audio data signal received at the apparatus, such as the type of speech activity or the format of the audio data signal.      When in the active (non-bypass) mode, the apparatus relies on an additional control signal to switch to the inactive (bypass) mode. This additional control signal is received from a control unit at a remote codec that indicates that the remote codec is also bypass capable, hence the decoder at the first codec and the encoder at the remote codec can switch to the inactive mode to pass between them the compressed data frames.

Patent CA-2314585-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COTTER JONATHAN P
IPC: F16F9/516
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: A gas spring with a first gas chamber communicated with a second gas chamber through a calibrated orifice to control the rate of return of gas from the first chamber to the second chamber to thereby control the rate at which a piston rod of the cylinder returns to its extended position. Desirably, the rate of return of the piston rod to its extended position can be made slow enough to prevent damage to a die stamped part as the gas spring lifts the part from a lower die half. The gas spring composite shell is preferably formed of and contains materials which are highly thermally conductive and define the return passage to prevent the gas spring from becoming overheated and to permit an increased number of cycles to be completed in a given period of time. Desirably, the gas spring may be completely self contained and utilize only gas to resist the movement of the piston rod to its retracted position, provide a force to move the piston rod to its extended position, and to control the rate of return of the piston rod to its extended position.
