Patent CA-2574482-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DAVIES SIMON
IPC: A62C13/66
Filed: 2005-06-13
Abstract: Apparatus (11) for rapid discharge of one or more fire extinguishing agent(s) comprises a sealed container (13) forming an interior volume (15) in communication with a rapidly opening valve assembly (17). The interior volume contains fire extinguishing agent(s), super-pressurised by a gas such as nitrogen. A portion of the nitrogen is dissolved into the fire extinguishing agent(s). When an incident is detected which requires the discharge of the fire extinguishing agent(s) the valve (17) is opened. Opening the valve (17) causes rapid dissolution of the nitrogen from the fire extinguishing agent(s), forming a two-phase mixture (like a foam or mousse) which substantially fills the volume (15) and causing the discharge of fire extinguishing agent(s) from the valve assembly (17). Because the two phase mixture is used to discharge the fire extinguishing agent(s), and this two phase mixture substantially fills the interior volume (15), the fire extinguishing agent(s) will be discharged irrespective of the orientation of the canister (13) and the position of the valve assembly (17).

Filed: 2005-06-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de retenue de feuilles, tel qu'un dossier ou un classeur présentant un coin de retenue empêchant les feuilles de se détacher du dossier ou du classeur. Le dispositif de retenue présente un plat recto et un plat verso. Chacun de ces plats présente un bord supérieur, un bord de base, un bord extérieur et un bord intérieur. Un premier rabat primaire est relié au plat verso le long de son bord extérieur et de son bord de base, de manière à former une poche qui est adaptée pour recevoir un ou plusieurs éléments d'un matériau en feuilles. Un rabat secondaire est relié au plat verso le long de son bord intérieur et de son bord supérieur, de manière à former une retenue de coin adaptée pour maintenir les feuilles retenues dans les pochettes. En conséquence, lorsqu'un élément du matériau en feuilles est maintenue dans la poche, le rabat secondaire agit comme une retenue de coin sur le coin libre du matériau en feuilles, ce qui a tendance à retenir ce coin libre et le matériau en feuilles dans la poche, même si le dispositif de retenue de feuilles est en position renversée ou disposé latéralement.

Patent CA-2602449-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CREWS JAMES B
IPC: C09K8/68
Filed: 2006-03-16
Abstract: Fluids viscosified with viscoelastic surfactants (VESs) may have their viscosities affected (increased or reduced, e.g. gels broken) by the indirect or direct action of a composition that contains at least one fatty acid that has been affected, modified or reacted with an alkali metal base, an alkali earth metal base, ammonium base, and/or organic base compound, optionally with an alkali metal halide salt, an alkali earth metal halide salt, and/or an ammonium halide salt. The composition containing the resulting saponification product is believed to either act as a co-surfactant with the VES itself to increase viscosity and/or possibly by disaggregating or otherwise affecting the micellar structure of the VES-gelled fluid. In a specific, non-limiting instance, a brine fluid gelled with an amine oxide surfactant may have its viscosity broken with a composition containing naturally-occurring fatty acids in canola oil or corn oil affected with CaOH, MgOH, NaOH and the like.
