Patent CA-2665121-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GILHULY TERENCE
IPC: G16Z99/00
Filed: 2007-09-14
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods of modeling and handling of nonlinearities for application of automatic control to systems with high inter-process variance and nonlinearities. The variance and nonlinearities make these systems difficult to control. Variance is accounted for by replacing the mathematical model of the system with a more representative system from a dataset that may or may not be chosen based on characteristics of the system under test, and then adapting using recursive estimation techniques. Nonlinearities defined by threshold to response and maximal responses are incorporated into linear models relating accumulated inputs to response. Example implementations in relation to automated drug delivery for neuromuscular blocking drugs through warning, advisory and closed-loop control systems are discussed.

Title: Coupling assembly with check valve actuator
Inventor: ANGERMEIER KELVIN
IPC: F16L29/02
Filed: 2009-07-31
Abstract: A coupling assembly comprises a storage tank outlet pipe incorporating a shut-off valve, a check valve downstream of the shut-off valve, and a first pipe fitting, plus a drain conduit having a second pipe fitting adapted for non-rotating liquid-tight engagement with the first pipe fitting. The second fitting incorporates probe means projecting longitudinally outward from the second fitting, and configured such that the probe means will open the check valve concurrently with the engagement of the first and second fittings. The probe means fixed within the internal bore of the second fitting so as to allow fluid flow through the internal bore. Opening of the shut-off valve after engagement of the first and second fittings thus allows fluid to flow from the storage tank into the drain conduit. When the first and second fittings are disconnected, the probe means will necessarily disengage from the check valve, thus closing the check valve and preventing flow out of the storage tank even if the shut-off valve in the outlet pipe has been inadvertently left open.

Inventor: GONTHIER FRANCOIS
IPC: G02B6/255
Filed: 2008-03-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of connecting optical fibers. In a first aspect, the method proceeds by using a ferrule device having a passage adapted to apply radial pressure to optically align and hold in position opposed fiber ends, and fusing said fiber ends held by said ferrule device. In another aspect, the method of the present invention uses a ferrule device to optically align without mechanized adjustment and hold in position opposed fiber ends with a gap where said fiber ends meet, where the fibers have a temperature of fusion that is higher than a melting temperature of said ferrule device. The gap is large enough to reduce heat transfer from said fibers to said ferrule device so that a heat of fusion does not compromise said ferrule device and small enough that a heat of fusion does not cause said fiber ends to become misaligned and impair an optical coupling between said fiber ends. The method then transmits radiation directly onto said fiber ends without significant direct transmission onto said ferrule device to generate heat in said fiber ends and fuse said fiber ends held by said ferrule device.

The influent is treated within the first chamber before it passes out of this chamber into the incorporated wetlands system. The water flows through the wetlands chamber or ditch where it is further filtered and decontaminated through both an aerobic and anaerobic process. In situations of high runoff there is a bypass component.
