Abstract: To facilitate legal research, companies, such as Thomson West, provide subscription-based online information-retrieval systems. Seeking to improve these and related IR systems, the present inventors recognized researchers often overlook some types of documents, such as legal encyclopedias and treatises that may be useful to them. Accordingly, the present inventors devised systems, methods, and software that automatically search for other types of documents not specifically targeted by user queries. One exemplary system automatically submits a user query for legal opinions to first and second databases, with the first storing legal opinions and the second storing non-opinion documents, such as headnotes from the West Key Number System, articles from American Law Reports, and/or articles from American Jurisprudence.
Patent CA-2562636-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GUYER ERIC C
IPC: F24D18/00
Filed: 2005-04-19
Abstract: A system and method for cogeneration of electric power and building heat efficiently interfaces a liquid-cooled electric power generator with a multi-zone forced hot water space heating system. The system and method utilize an electric generator with an electric output capacity that is near the time-averaged electric power consumption rate for the building and with a heat generation capacity that is useful for meeting building heating demand. The actual onsite time-variable power demand is met by a combination of the cogenerated electric power produced on site and quantities of electric power from the public electric power grid or another external power source. Hence, useful electric power is generated on site as a byproduct of the required generation of heat for space or water heating.

Inventor: MARTINEZ-CEPEDA FEDERICO
IPC: E04C3/07
Filed: 2004-04-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a novel stiffened channel having improved mechanical characteristics in relation to hitherto-known structural sections. The inventive channel can be used for the construction of large architectural vaults or roof trusses, providing efficient dead load support. The constituent parts of the channel comprise: a core, upper and lower runners or sides, and finials which are positioned at the ends of the part. According to the invention, the runners comprise a flat surface which is divided into three parts or sections. One end of the first of the aforementioned sections, which has a flat surface, is connected to the core by means of a bend, such that the section is maintained at ninety degrees in relation to the core, while the other end thereof is connected to an intermediate section, also by means of bend. The intermediate section, which has a flat surface, is shifted in relation to the central axis of the runners and forms the trussed section. A  second bend is provided in the intermediate section in order to connect same to a third section which also has a flat surface and which is disposed in the same plane as the aforementioned first section. Finally, another bend is provided between the third section and one of the finials such that the finials are maintained at ninety degrees in relation to the runners. In addition, the core, which has a flat surface, is also divided into three sections. The upper end of the first of said sections, which is flat, is connected to the upper runner at ninety degrees by means of a bend. The first section extends into a middle section which is also flat, said two sections being connected by means of a bend. The middle section is shifted in relation to the axis of the core and forms the trussed section. The opposing end of the middle section is connected to a third section which is similar to, and disposed in the same plane as, the first section. Said third section terminates in a second bend which is used to connect same to the lower runner, said runner being disposed at ninety degrees in relation to the core. As a result, the invention applies to structural sections which are used for truss construction.
