Patent CA-2593449-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SULLIVAN SHAUN
IPC: F25D17/06
Filed: 2006-01-03
Abstract: A refrigerator includes a gas flow generator formed with passages providing communication between an annular inlet chamber and a gas flow chamber, so that gas under pressure in the inlet chamber flows through the passages into the gas flow chamber. An energy transfer tube has a cylindrical interior space in communication with the gas flow chamber at one end of the tube and a throttle valve is installed in the energy transfer tube at its opposite end. An acoustic tone at a frequency in the range between about 1 kHz and about 20 kHz is spontaneously generated in the energy transfer tube when gas at a pressure exceeding about 100 psig is supplied to the inlet chamber.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method and a device for indication of the percentage of carbon dioxide in a person's exhaled air, when breathing occurs through a means conducting the air flow. According to the invention, a means for determining the percentage of carbon dioxide is fixed or removably connected to the means conducting the air flow. The percentage of carbon dioxide is established with regard to a lower and/or an upper boundary during determined time intervals. In presented designs of the invention, the lower boundary is 2% and the upper boundary is 7% and the time interval is 2-10 seconds. The device contains, for example, a means to indicate if the upper boundary is exceeded or if the value falls below the lower boundary at any point during the entire time interval, which can be implemented through an alarm with an audio or light signal.

Patent CA-2609887-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GAUTHIER SIMON
IPC: C07D333/52
Filed: 2006-05-25
Abstract: Novel photochromic and electrochromic hexadiene compounds are described. The compounds are reversibly convertible between ring-open and ring-closed isomeric forms as indicated in structures I(o) and I(c) below. (See formula in original abstract of application) The conversion between the different isomeric forms may be induced by light or electricity. In one embodiment the compounds may include a charge transfer moiety including electron donor and acceptor groups. The electron donor and acceptor are linearly conjugated in the ring-open form to enable electron transfer but are electrically insulated in the ring-closed form. Methods for synthesizing the compounds from photochemically and/or electrically inert precursors are also described. For example, the photoresponsive compounds may be synthesized by reacting diene precursors with dienophiles in a condensation reaction. The compounds may be utilized in reactivity-gated photochromic or electrochromic applications. In one embodiment of the invention, compounds of the invention may be used in a method to selectively release a releasable agent, such as a small molecule.  According to this method, a photochemically inert precursor compound is reacted with the releasable agent to form a carrier compound comprising a switching moiety, the switching moiety being reversibly convertible between a thermally unstable form and a thermally stable form. The switching moiety may be selectively converted between the first and second forms to cause controlled release of the releasable agent from the carrier compound.
