Within two weeks of first seeing ether administered in London in December 1846 Snow designed this forerunner of modern vaporizers. Realizing the importance of ambient temperature on the vaporization of ether Snow at one determined how much ether vapor would be held in air at different temperatures. He wrote “…by regulating the temperature of the air while it is exposed to the ether we should have the means of ascertaining and adjusting the quantity of vapour that will be contained in it.” In March 1847 Snow had a prototype inhaler constructed and in June 1847 the definitive one exhibited here was made. Snow also designed a chloroform inhaler.” (ref.2) The components of the inhaler are as follows: Japanned metal box as bath for water at 50 to 60 degrees F; a vaporizing chamber containing spiral baffle attached to roof and extending to 1/16 of an inch of the floor; metal tube screwed into box for ingress of air; breathing tube (wider than trachea; and mask and one-way valve. | Medical Technology | Instruments | Surgical | Medical Technology | Chemicals & medications | Anaesthesia | metal | 5.6 | 14.3 cm | http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2014.0091.001.aa.cs.png | http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2014.0091.001.aa.cs.thumb.png | ||||||||||||

Foreign companies came to Uplands because they knew the staff and equipment could provide them with the information they needed. As a result NRC played a crucial role in making flying safer. It is very likely if not almost certain that the flight impact simulators located in Ottawa were the inspiration for the Chicken Cannon irregularly put to use on the CBC’s weekly television show Royal Canadian Air Farce. The Chicken Cannon made its appearance on Friday March 4th 1994. It was apparently last fired on Thursday December 18th or Friday December 19th 2008 at the taping of the show’s very popular New Year’s special. Throughout the years the Chicken Cannon was loaded and fired by one of the show’s most popular character Colonel “Teresa” Stacey played by Don Ferguson. As well as a sizeable number of rubber chickens the Chicken Cannon fired a bewildering variety of items primarily food at photos of individuals either Canadian or foreign who were deemed to be the most annoying at the time.

The use of wood as a cellulosic feedstock was the first major technological break-through in paper-making in 1 700 years. This advancement dramatically transformed the industry. Before this paper was made with recycled cellulosic materials such as rags rope fish nets and burlap.¬î (http://publications.gc.ca/Collection-R/LoPBdP/BP/bp292-e.htm). According to this source (http://www.histoireforestiereoutaouais.ca/en/c19/ ) ¬ìFrom 1878 onwards Ezra Butler Eddy has a growing interest in the production of pulp made from ground wood fiber and used in the manufacture of indurated fiber ware. He patented a process to make mechanical pulp1 and bought the rights to a hydraulic press used to make indurated fiber pails.2 These two developments were complementary. Eddy built for himself the first mechanical pulp mill set up on Philemon Island to supply his indurated fiber ware factory and to manufacture pulp paneling used for thermal insulation in buildings. ¬ìSources : 1 http://www.civilization.ca/cmc/exhibitions/hist/hull/rw_68_ie.shtml; 2 Eddy bought the rights linked to the use of a hydraulic press capable of making pails out of ordinary pulp from the Ives & Hubbard Pail Company. See: Library and Archives Canada Department of Agriculture Patent Branch (R 9271-2-7 previously RG 105) file no 19883 February 25th 1878. The Groundwood mill uses a mechanical process to produce pulp. There are also chemical processes to produce pulp. At E.B. Eddy both kinds of pulp processes were used.

Dr. Joseph Warren Horton (1889-1967) a biological engineer was chosen to lead the panel. As a result of this work he invented the Horton Intercoupler in 1939. The Intercoupler acted as a grounding device to prevent ignition of anesthetic vapors by static sparks in the operating room. One of the grounding leads was attached to the anesthesia machine another to the operating table one to the patient's gown; the far end of the chain rested on the floor. The first new generation of non-explosive anesthetics was introduced in the 1950s. In the 1970s standards were revised to ban flammable anesthetics were from U. S. hospitals.

Clover was an especially sought after anesthesiologist and early pioneer in the specialty. This was the best-known of many inhalers that Clover designed. The dome-shaped reservoir was turned to points on a control dial to gradually increase or decrease the percentage of the air that passed over the ether. Several inventors based new inhalers on this while the original continued to be manufactured as late as the beginning of the Second World War.” (ref.3) “In Clover’s Inhaler ether was placed in the chamber which could be warmed by water and by hand. His first inhaler included one “whistle-tip” tube inside another; when the indicator was at “Full” all the respired air passed into the ether chamber and when the tips were in alignment the patient breathed only air. In a later model a single tube fitted with ports and a baffle passed through the center of the chamber allowing air to pass through with rotation of the tube. Clover claimed advantages in the absence of valves ability to supply ether gradually and rapid onset of anesthesia.” (red.2) | Medical Technology | Instruments | Surgical | Medical Technology | Chemicals & medications | Anaesthesia | metal | 10.4 | 9.3 cm | http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2014.0040.001.aa.cs.png | http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/2014.0040.001.aa.cs.thumb.png | ||||||||||||

The proper front is largely covered in dark brown and yellow bees. The entire proper front including the bees are covered in a resin which is light yellow in colour. | ¬ìCircle 1¬î is a work of art by Canadian artist Sarah Hatton. She was born in Wolverhampton England in 1976 and earned a BA of Fine Art from Queen¬ís University in 1999 and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Calgary in 2001. Hatton describes her work as an exploration of ¬ìlonging transition mortality and human connections with nature.¬î She lives in Chelsea Quebec. Hatton is also a beekeeper and began producing ¬ìBee Works¬î after a frost killed all the bees in one of her colonies. Struck by this loss she made 10 circular artworks or ¬ìmandalas¬î as she describes them in 2013. These works are constructed of dead bees arranged in complex patterns and preserved in thick resin on wood panels. Hatton chose patterns found in nature including the Fibonacci sequence which mathematically describes the spiraling structures of pinecones sea shells and in the case of ¬ìCircle 1 ¬î sunflowers. The resulting works are striking: they produce optical illusions of movement and can induce vertigo a sensation that Hatton likens to the bees¬í inability to navigate after being exposed to neonicotinoid pesticides a particular context addressed by this series. Neonicotinoids are a class of pesticide first introduced in the 1990s. In the past 25 years they become one of the most widely used pesticides in the world. Neonicotinoids affect central-nervous-system functioning killing or paralyzed insects exposed to them. Neonicotinoids may be sprayed but the most popular application introduced in 2004 is as a seed coating. In North America neonicotinoid-coated seeds prevail in corn and soybean plantings the major crops of the continent¬ís central region. This widespread preventative use of neonicotinoids has become controversial. Neonicotinoid compounds are water soluble and environmentally persistent and environmental scientists have linked their ¬ìprophylactic¬î use to adverse impacts on pollinators birds earthworms and aquatic invertebrates. Preventative use of neonicotinoids has also drawn critique … | ¬ìCircle 1¬î functions through the medium of art as a reflection and commentary on the plight of bees and other pollinators in the context of colony collapse disorder pesticide use and other environmental risks. (From Acquisition Proposal see Ref. 1) | ¬ìCircle 1¬î may be defined as ¬ìconceptual art:¬î art made using materials and methods not traditionally deployed in painting sculpture or photography. Marcel Duchamp is credited with launching conceptual art when he attempted to display a urinal in a New York exhibition in 1917. (Godfrey 1988) Conceptual artists have since used found or ¬ìreadymades¬î in art: this approach is considered a critique of art and has also been identified with wider social and political critiques. Hatton¬ís choice of bees fits within this tradition: she also shares some affinities with artists such as Mark Dion who use dead animals (typically taxidermied animals from natural-history museum collections) to produce installations or dioramas. These works contemplate the nature of museums and collections and address concerns over biodiversity loss and environmental threats. (Dion 1997) In terms of materials Hatton used bees from her own hives and received donations of dead bees from beekeepers in Canada and elsewhere. To draw the underlying patterns on the wood panel surfaces Hatton used her father¬ís drafting set from his university engineering studies in the 1950s.
