Title: Integrate power supply system
Inventor: VANDERMEER DAVID
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2004-12-22
Abstract: An ultra-high-efficiency switching power supply system integrating, into a single package, power conversion switches for multiple power supplies, an input power switching block, an output power switching block, control logic for controlling the power conversion switches and control input/output ports.  This integrated multiple power supply package is called a Power Bridge and preferably implements the integrated components as one or more integrated circuit chips housed in the package housing. The Power Bridge is a bridge between the microprocessor of a portable computer and its internal and external power sources. The power supply system facilitates board design because the ultra-high~efficiency power module generally requires less space and generates less heat than conventional power supply circuitry. The power supply module improves power management because of improved communications connections between the power supply module control circuitry and other components, such as busses, other bridge modules and embedded controllers.

Patent CA-2563412-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CITTA JAMES W
IPC: H03K17/96
Filed: 2005-04-13
Abstract: A capacitance based switch device employs an electric field imaging device electrically coupled via an electrical conductor to a conductive electrode member that is attached to the door or any other suitable surfaces. Such electric field imaging device generates a sine wave which is transmitted to the conductive electrode member and produces a surrounding electrical field. Any human body part which enters such electrical field will create a capacitance load due to the body being grounded to a surface. Reduction in distance between the body part and the conductive electrode will increase th e capacitance and will decrease the voltage intermediate the resistor and conductive electrode which is an inverse function of the capacitance. Such change in voltage will be detected by a microcontroller by comparing voltage s at each end of the resistor and the change exceeding a predetermined thresho ld will be associated with an output control signal.

Inventor: SIDHU MANPREET S
IPC: D21D1/00
Filed: 2005-04-27
Abstract: Thermomechanical pulp is an important process for producing fibrous mass used in papermaking. A two-level control strategy that stabilizes and optimizes the refining process has been developed. The Stabilization layer consists of a multivariable model predicative range controller that regulates the refiner line operations. The Quality Optimization layer provides the pulp quality control as measured by an online pulp quality (freeness fibre length) sensor.  This control strategy leverages the natural decoupling in the process. The modular design technique is able to handle multiple refiner lines that empty into a common latency chest. A global optimizer is also used to integrate and coordinate the two layers for enhanced constraint handling.

Title: Packing for planters
Inventor: BEAUJOT NORBERT
IPC: A01C5/06
Filed: 2007-03-13
Abstract: A system and method of sensing and adjusting the resulting packing force on seeding devices that utilize a packing element (in the form of a wheel, skid, or other device) as a terrain following, depth gauge for seed and fertilizer. The resulting vertical force exerted by the soil against the packing element, is detected on one or more of the multiple seed row elements by mounting the packer wheel on a pivoting member that has a force sensor incorporated between the pivoting plate and the opener arm. The operator monitors the force on a device viewable from the cab so he can make adjustments necessary to maintain the packing force at an appropriate level on the entire drill. The sensed force may also electronically adjust the packing force on the drill to automatically compensate for force changes on the packer wheel. The force changes are as a result of varying soil conditions and speed.  The sensor may be arranged so that it only senses the vertical forces on the packer wheel and not the horizontal rolling resistance forces.

Title: Auditable authentication of event histories for shipped and stored objects
Inventor: WATERHOUSE PAUL
IPC: G08B13/14
Filed: 2005-11-15
Abstract: This invention relates to a method and system for auditably authenticating the histories of events (e.g. temperature levels) experienced by objects (e.g.  pharmaceutical products, foodstuffs, etc.) during storage in repositories such as warehouses and movable shipping vehicles. The method involves a) sensing an event experienced by an object; b) recording an event signal that defines the sensed event; c) transmitting a temporally ordered series of said event signals to a data storage apparatus, said data storage apparatus being operable to store said temporally ordered series of said event signals; and d) safeguarding the aforesaid data storage apparatus against alteration of said stored series of event signals. The safeguarding may be done by selecting a data storage apparatus which is unalterable, such as a write-once-only CD-R  disc. Such use of an unalterable medium (e.g. CD-R) is especially appropriate where the repository is movable, such as a truck or railway car, since a CD-R  drive can easily be located within the movable repository during shipment of the goods which are sensitive to temperature or other environmental events.  Alternatively, safeguarding can be achieved by locating the aforesaid data storage apparatus at a secure location (e.g. KPMG or other auditor's offices) distant from the stored/shipped drugs to prevent data tampering. Moreover, the event data can be transmitted (wirelessly for movable repositories, by wired connection for a stationary repository such as a warehouse) to the distant location immediately, as the events occur (i.e. in ~real time~), so that the event data is in secure hands (e.g. an independent auditor~s) before it could possibly be altered. Furthermore, safeguarding may utilize a selected algorithm to calculate a pair of checksums based on a selected sequence of event signals, said pair of checksums having a selected relationship (e.g.  being identical) in the event of data integrity, one of the two checksums being calculated from event signals generated at the repository (e.g. at a warehouse), the other checksum being calculated from event signals that have already been transmitted to the aforesaid data storage apparatus. Moreover, corresponding temporal (e.g. date/time) data may be stored together with each event signal, the temporal data being obtained from an independent source (e.g. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) or a GPS  satellite).
