Patent CA-2578522-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FEHRENBACH MARK E
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2005-09-22
Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for routing data messages to appropriate applications among multiple available applications. Observers use a variety of signal transmission devices to generate and transmit data messages to a receiver. Each observer has an observer identification and each receiver has a receiver identification. A routing layer is configured to correlate the observer identification and the receiver identification. While multiple applications are available, the routing layer routes the data message to the appropriate application based on the correlated observer and receiver identifications. The router can further route the data message to an appropriate destination within the appropriate application based on the correlated observer and receiver identifications. The, data message can also undergo additional signal processing before it is routed to a third party application.
Patent CA-2578606-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GOTOVAC LOVRO
IPC: F16M11/12
Filed: 2007-02-15
Abstract: The present invention is a stand apparatus for a display screen (such as a computer monitor or a TV) having an arcuate arm member, a base adapted to accept the arm member and allow for tilting movement of the arm member in relation to the base, and a contoured clamp member operable to engage and grip the arm member. The curvature of the clamp member matches the curvature of the arm member and prevents damage to the finish of the arm member. The clamp member is coupled with an arm screw member that is readily accessible to a user. The cross-section of the arm member prevents lateral movement of the arm member in relation to the base. The base is operable to freely swivel 360 degrees and can be readily fixed in relation to a base ring once it is in a desired position. Cabling channels are also provided within the arm member to house cables from the display screen.

Title: Reduced maintenance sputtering chambers
Inventor: HARTIG KLAUS
IPC: H01J37/34
Filed: 2006-01-11
Abstract: Improved sputtering chambers (100,200) for sputtering thin coatings onto substrates. One sputtering chamber includes spall shields (212) which are disposed inwardly and upwardly toward the chamber interior and toward the sputtering targets, and which can aid in the retention of overcoated sputtering material which may otherwise fall onto substrates to be coated.  Another sputtering chamber includes targets (102, 103) having magnets (104, 105) which are turned inwardly relative to vertical and toward each other. The inward rotation of the magnets can serve to deposit more material toward the open bottom center of the chamber, and less toward the side walls of the chamber. Yet another sputtering chamber (300) includes a third target (314) disposed between and upward of the lower two targets (310, 312) so as to shield a portion of the sputtering chamber interior from material sputtered from the first and second targets . Some chambers have the three targets forming a triangle, for example, an isosceles or equilateral triangle, hi one chamber having such a triangular configuration of sputtering targets, the first and second targets form the base of an isosceles triangle and have their magnets oriented inwardly relative to vertical and towards each other. The sputtering chambers provided can either reduce the amount of overcoat sputtering material deposited onto the interior of the chamber and/or aid in retention of overcoat sputtering material which would otherwise fall onto substrates to be coated.

Title: Roller-type sprayer-mixer for spraying and mixing fluids
Inventor: DELLA CASA LUIGI PEITRO
IPC: B01F27/906
Filed: 2005-04-14
Abstract: The invention concerns gas and liquid to be mixed an interact penetrating into the spraying chamber (9). The liquid is immediately sprayed by the combs of seven rollers (1) which pivot in the chamber (9); the particular arrangement of six rollers (1) in a circle about a central roller (1), by neutralizing the centrifugal thrusts, ensures that the liquid fluid (of higher density) is not confined at the periphery of the chamber (9). The gas is mixed with the liquid particles producing a foam wherein are constantly formed and decomposed new liquid particles mixed with the gas. The foam, pushed by the upstream pressure and/or by a propeller blade configuration of the prongs of the combs, flows along the chamber (9) while continuing to be mixed and regenerated without the liquid being compressed and separated from the gas.
