Patent CA-2544850-A1 (CA)
Title: Multiple-input multiple-output system and method
Inventor: SUN QINFANG
IPC: H04J99/00
Filed: 2004-11-04
Abstract: A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system can transmit on multiple antennas simultaneously and receive on multiple antennas simultaneously.  Unfortunately, because a legacy 802.11a/g device is not able to decode multiple data streams, such a legacy device may "stomp" on a MIMO packet by transmitting before the transmission of the MIMO packet is complete.  Therefore, MIMO systems and methods are provided herein to allow legacy devices to decode the length of a MIMO packet and to restrain from transmitting during that period. These MIMO systems and methods are optimized for efficient transmission of MIMO packets.

Patent CA-2558373-A1 (CA)
Title: Turbine and rotor therefor
Inventor: LOTRIONTE FRANK DANIEL
IPC: F03B3/04
Filed: 2005-03-16
Abstract: A rotor that consists of a central hub or shaft and a plurality of boot shaped integral blade/vane units that combine a pronounced elongated vane tip extending substantially toward the incoming flow and also the direction of rotation forming a helix or pitch angle to the rotation axis centreline, preferably normal to and joined to the outer frontward extremity of a slightly rearward tilted blade/wing section that is connected by its inner end to the central hub of shaft. The rotor revolves about the rotation axis by incoming gas/fluid flow as most of the fluid flow is encouraged to move substantially outward and rearward as it travels into and past the forwardly projecting vane tips located a substantial distance radially from the axis of rotation. This maximises the torque developed and transferred to the hub/shaft in a manner that does not greatly inhibit total through flow, because the combined gas/fluid flow exit area (or gaps between blades/vanes) is much greater than the maximum rotor diameter and subsequently the rotor inlet area, which has the effect of increasing the through flow velocity and thus overall performance. The blades may have slots within them.

Patent CA-2560406-A1 (CA)
Title: Drive system and control method of the same
Inventor: SHIGE MASAHIRO
IPC: H01M8/00
Filed: 2005-04-11
Abstract: When the current state of fuel cells 30 suggests a potential for an impending output restriction, the control procedure of the invention raises a target SOC  level of a secondary battery 60 (step S170), and sets a charge level restriction Wch (step S180) to make the fuel cells 30 keep its current state having the potential for the impending output restriction. The control procedure charges the secondary battery 60 in the range of the set charge level restriction Wch (step S210) and causes a motor 36 to output a torque at a level of a preset torque demand Td* (step S230). The secondary battery 60 is thus chargeable without making the state of the fuel cells 30 approach to conditions for imposing an output restriction and is prepared for possible output restriction of the fuell cells 30.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of electrochemical machining utilizes a computer controlled static array of electrically insulated cathode sections to selectively and individually energize the electrodes for the purpose of shaping the surface of a part. The tightly clustered array of electrodes can be formed by individual wires as an example. The waste reaction products may be managed so as to improve machining accuracy. The electrodes can be composed of materials capable of generating an oxide layer or that resist electrolytic dissolution to combat the problem of crossover erosion in closely spaced conditions. An alternative approach to remedy crossover erosion is to extend the reach of insulation into the gap space between tool and part.
