Patent CA-2636263-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ODA HIROYUKI
IPC: D21F7/08
Filed: 2006-12-28
Abstract: A press felt (10) for papermaking which is composed of a substrate (30), a wet paper side vat layer (20), and a press side vat layer (23), wherein the wet paper side vat layer (20) is composed of a wet paper contact side vat layer (21) and a substrate side vat layer (22); the substrate side vat layer (22) containing a core-sheath composite fiber (41) constituted of a core made of a high-molecular nylon having an absolute viscosity of 80mPa~s or above and a sheath made of a nylon having a melting point lower than that of the core-constituting nylon; and the wet paper contact side vat layer (21) being made of a nylon fiber (42) free from the composite fiber (41). Since the substrate side vat layer (22) is enhanced in denseness through the melting of the sheath of the fiber (41), the water in the press side vat layer (23) little moves to the wet paper side, whereby the remoisturization of paper is inhibited.  Further, the felt is improved in fiber breakaway resistance, wear resistance, and compression fatigue resistance by virtue of the high-viscosity core of the fiber (41).

Patent CA-2639066-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SIMPSON ROBERT G
IPC: G01S19/11
Filed: 2008-08-22
Abstract: Systems and methods for avoiding non-linear behavior of conventional early--minus-late correlator-based code loop discriminators. The present invention provides a model of correlator behavior that takes into account whether both correlators are on the same side of the correlation peak or they straddle the peak. The result is a piecewise solution that can be stitched together quite readily to produce an extended range of linear response, thereby improving the pull-in capability of GPS code loops when closely spaced correlators are being used.

Patent CA-2653778-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WHITTED WILLIAM
IPC: H02J9/00
Filed: 2006-06-27
Abstract: Apparatus and associated method and computer program products involve a highly efficient uninterruptible power distribution architecture to support modular processing units. As an illustrative example, a modular processing unit includes an integrated uninterruptible power system in which only one AC-to-DC rectification occurs between the utility AC grid and the processing circuit (e.g., microprocessor) loads. In an illustrative data center facility, a power distribution architecture includes a modular array of rack-mountable processing units, each of which has processing circuitry to handle network-related processing tasks. Associated with each modular processing unit is an integrated uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to supply operating power to the network processing circuitry. Each UPS includes a battery selectively connectable across a DC bus, and a AC-to-DC rectifier that converts an AC input voltage to a single output voltage on the DC bus. The regulated DC bus voltage may be close to the battery's fully charged voltage.

Patent CA-2674751-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STUART ANDREW T B
IPC: C01B32/40
Filed: 2008-01-08
Abstract: The present invention provides a reactor and gasification process for the continuous controlled production of hydrogen (H2) and a by-product synthesis gas (mixture of CO + H2 +CO2), such a process called a hydrogen priority poly-generation process (HPPP). The reactor uses a circulating molten iron process, which is capable of gasifying a variety of carbonaceous materials including low rank coals and biomass. The process employs an iron steam oxidation-reduction cycle in a multi-chamber reactor including a multi-vessel reactor system, where in one compartment or vessel hydrogen is produced by steam oxidation of molten iron; and in a second compartment or vessel the iron is regenerated by carbon reduction of molten iron oxide thereby producing a by-product synthesis gas (CO + H2+CO2), and excess heat which can be used to produce steam, and in a third step the iron is purified before being returned to the steam oxidation step in the process. An embodiment of this process uses low rank coals having high ash levels in a reactor, which is designed to continuously extract ash from the molten iron bath. A second embodiment uses low ash carbon materials such as highly beneficiated coals in a simpler process that produces pure streams of hydrogen and CO.
