Patent CA-2538172-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KAY STUART BRIAN WILLIAM
IPC: B65D83/16
Filed: 2004-09-09
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif (600) pour transférer de la mousse, destiné à être utilisé dans un appareil à cartouche d'aérosol permettant de produire une mousse sclérosante destinée à traiter notamment, des varices. Le dispositif permet la déviation d'une quantité initiale de ladite mousse de la cartouche vers les déchets, par exemple une chambre intégrale de déchets, avant la distribution d'une quantité supplémentaire de mousse utilisée dans le traitement. Le déplacement du flux provenant de la chambre de déchets vers une sortie différente (618) est accompli sans interrompre le flux provenant de la cartouche d'aérosol, dans le cas contraire, cela entraînerait la formation de gouttes de mousse. La chambre de déchets peut être transparente, de sorte que la mousse entrant peut être observée et l'utilisateur peut ainsi décider de stopper la déviation de la mousse vers les déchets. En variante, la mousse peut être déviée automatiquement, par exemple, lorsqu'une période arrive à sa fin ou qu'un volume de mousse est distribué. La mousse est distribuée normalement dans une seringue, ce qui permet de l'injecter dans une varice d'un patient.

Title: Controller, system and method for providing supplementing water
Inventor: ZHANG DA-WEI
IPC: F16K11/04
Filed: 2005-07-22
Abstract: A controller (10) provides water to outlet (22) from a supplementing water supply (e.g. from a rainwater tank) attached to passage (18) in preference to a main water supply (e.g. from a mains water supply) attached to passage (14).  If there is insufficient supplementing water to meet demand, then mains water flows through passage (14), around partition (36) and to outlet (22). If there is sufficient supplementing water for the demand, a supplementing water pump is activated, and the pressure of supplementing water in passage (18) is raised above a threshold level at which it is able to move piston (28) against mains pressure to seal against valve seat (34) and block the mains supply, so that supplementing water can flow to outlet (22) via one-way valve (42).  Piston (28) has a larger effective area (28b) at its low pressure end than at it high pressure end (28a), so that the supplementing water threshold pressure level for moving the piston (28) to block the main supply passage (16) is less than mains pressure. Mains water is supplied if there is insufficient supplementing water or if the pump fails or there is a power outage, otherwise supplementing water is supplied.
