Abstract: An LED-based light can include a highly thermally con-ductive base having multiple radially outward projecting nodes. The nodes can be spaced apart in an axial and circumferential directions of the base.  An electrical connector and at least one LED can be attached to the base, and a light transmitting bulb can be attached to the base and can cover the at least one LED. The geometry of the base can promote heat dissipation, which can allow the at least one LED to use enough power to produce an amount of luminosity that allows the LED-based light to replicate, for ex-ample, an incandescent light without overheating.

Abstract: A fire hose coupling comprises a body having a first end connected to a fire hose and a second end having either male or female threads or, alternatively, a quarter-turn sexless coupler. The fire hose coupling comprises a recessed portion formed in an outer surface of the body. The recessed portion is shaped to define a visuotactile directional indicator such as an arrow.  The recessed portion may include a light-reflecting surface to enhance visibility such as a super reflective metal film, a photo luminescent coating, or a phosfluorescent coating. The recessed directional indicator may be formed in female, male or sexless (Storz) couplings. Since the light-reflecting directional indicator is recessed, it will not cause the hose assembly to snag or catch when the hose is dragged through a burning structure, nor will the directional indicator abrade or wear over time. This coupling enables firefighters to readily determine the exit direction when operating in dark and smoky conditions.

Patent CA-2759526-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YUAN JUN
IPC: H04W28/24
Filed: 2010-04-21
Abstract: In order to minimize the control signaling overhead asso-ciated with transmitting CQI data from mobile stations to base stations in wireless communication networks supporting MU-MIMO, the CQI  dur-ing MU-MIMO operation is estimated based on SU-MIMO CQI data, mobile station geometry data, and mobile station PMI (Precoding Matrix Index) data. More particularly, the base station maintains and updates a knowledge pool that correlates geometry data and learned impact of inter-fering precoder data to degradation of CQI values responsive to switching from SU-MIMO operation to MU-MIMO operations. Then, when the base station switches from SU-MIMO operation to MU-MIMO  opera-tion, it consults the knowledge pool to predict the degradation in CQI  and subtracts them from the known, pre-switching SU-MIMO CQI feedback data for each relevant mobile station to predict the post-switching MU--MIMO CQIs for that mobile station.

Abstract: This invention relates to dynamically controlled, electronic article surveillance (EAS) systems whereby an array of antenna elements is digitally phased and actively driven for concurrent transmission, and digitally phased and combined in the receiver unit to improve detection. In particular, the individual frequency and phase of the plurality of the transmit/receive signals are rapidly varied to allow for automated manipulation (steering) of the transmit field pattern and receive field sensitivity. The invention achieves the following features via means of digital phasing and dynamic computer control: sufficient far-field cancellation, null-free detection and uncompromised detection performance regardless of tag's orientation while using single transmission drivers to drive entire antenna structures, whether loop antenna or ferrite core antenna, using a phase coupler, thereby allowing more efficient system operation or additional features such as deactivator antenna operation.

Title: Increased seed oil and abiotic stress tolerance mediated by hsi2
Inventor: SHARMA NIMALA
IPC: C12N15/29
Filed: 2010-05-19
Abstract: Increased seed oil content, decreased abscisic acid sensitivity and/or increased drought resistance in a plant may be accomplished by altering expression of a HIGH--LEVEL EXPRESSION OF SUGAR-INDUCIBLE 2(HSI2) protein in the plant to thereby increase or decrease expression of HSI2 in the plant compared to a plant grown under similar conditions in which the expression of HSI2 was unaltered. Increasing expression of HSI2 increases oil content while decreasing expression of HSI2 decreases abscisic acid sensitivity and/or increases drought resistance.
