Patent CA-2497603-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KLEINWAECHTER JURGEN
IPC: F02G1/04
Filed: 2003-08-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a thermohydrodynamic power amplifying machine, which enables a liquid working medium to carry out useful work in a three-phase working cycle (isochoric heating, isothermic expansion, contraction by regenerative cooling) while using an external heat source and an external cold sink. The work performed by the auxiliary drive (12) on the displacer (11) is considerably less than the (power amplification) produced by the conversion system (18, 19). A reverse operating externally driven machine functions as a heat pump/cooling machine.

Patent CA-2508856-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KAPOSI SASCHA
IPC: A47J36/06
Filed: 2005-05-30
Abstract: A lid for a container, preferably integrally formed of silicone, or other flexible materials, and forming a convex, hemispherical, or other bulged shape. In some embodiments, a central handle or knob allows the lid to be grasped for placement over the container or for removal. When placed atop a container, the handle can be pressed downward, causing the convex shape to be reduced, or to be converted to a concave shape. The downward movement expels much of the air within the container, creating a relative vacuum so that the lid is held firmly in place. The suction force creates a tight seal between the lid and the vessel, aiding in maintaining the freshness of the item stored inside the container

Patent CA-2512412-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GODDARD STEVEN
IPC: B05B15/02
Filed: 2005-07-08
Abstract: A sprayer comprising a linear actuator mounted on top of a base with a nozzle attached to it. The actuator has an air inlet orifice located on the cylinder body, when high pressure air is permitted into the main cylinder body, air pressure moves the piston shaft forward, at the same time internal cavities located inside the piston shaft allow air to travel down the piston rod and be directed into the spray tip. During this time a set of seals mounted to the piston shaft move thereby opening an orifice connected to the main fluid line located in the base. The fluid velocity increases dramatically whereby the air blast provided by the piston spool dislodges spray tip debris and injects it into the fluid stream where it is evacuated out through the opened orifice.

Abstract: A wireless communication system, which supports enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) data transmissions, includes a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) (102), at least one Node-B (104) and a radio network controller (RNC) (106).  The WTRU includes a buffer (126), a data lifespan timer (124), a data retransmission counter (130), a hybrid-automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) process (128) and a controller (122). The timer establishes a lifespan for at least one data block stored in the buffer. If physical resources have not been allocated for a data block associated with a lifespan timer that is close to expiration, the WTRU sends an urgent channel allocation request. If physical resources have been allocated, the data block is prioritized for transmission with respect to other data blocks. The data block is discarded if the lifespan timer expires or if the WTRU receives feedback information indicating that the data block was successfully received by the Node-B.
