Patent CA-2512148-C (CA)
Inventor: MALONEY MICHAEL A
IPC: E03B7/04

Granted: 2009-03-10
Abstract: L'invention concerne une soupape (30) qui permet de réduire la pression fluidique dans un réseau de distribution de fluide en utilisant l'énergie libérée par le fluide pour produire de l'électricité. Cette soupape (30) comprend un logement (34), une turbine (38) disposée dans le logement (34), un réservoir de fluide (40) et un dispositif de régulation du débit (36) conçu pour produire un débit d'entrée dans la turbine (42) ayant une certaine vitesse de débit depuis un débit d'entrée possédant une certaine pression fluidique. La turbine (38) reçoit le débit d'entrée dans la turbine, lequel débit fait tourner la turbine afin de produire de l'électricité. Le réservoir de fluide (40) recueille le débit de fluide libéré par la turbine et produit un débit de sortie de la soupape (33) possédant une pression fluidique souhaitée qui est inférieure à la pression fluidique du fluide d'entrée (42). Par conséquent, l'énergie provenant du débit d'entrée (42) est utilisée pour produire de l'électricité. De plus, l'électricité produite par la turbine peut être indépendante de la pression fluidique du débit de sortie de la soupape. La soupape peut donc entraîner une réduction sensible de la pression fluidique et/ou du débit dans un réseau de distribution de fluide pendant que la production d'électricité par la turbine.

Title: Digital core workflow method using digital core images
Inventor: HU YUANXIAN GREG
IPC: E21B47/04
Filed: 2005-08-23
Granted: 2008-10-21
Abstract: A method for registration and correction of downhole core depth information using digital core images. Digital core images are employed during depth registration, with top and base depths for a selected interval being determined by field data and a digital ruler which calculates an actual interval length based on the digital core image. Correction of the top and base depths is enabled by side- by-side display of the digital core image interval and corresponding well logging data, which displayed information can be manipulated by a user to provide more accurate depth information. The method further allows for shale volume calculations and facies interpretation, again employing the digital core images.

Granted: 2008-12-30
Abstract: A multi-shank ripper excavation tool has a body mounted from an arm, e.g. a dipper arm or a boom arm, and at least first and second shanks mounted to the body. Each shank is perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the tool, and each the shank includes a ripper tooth positioned for ripping engagement with a substrate. The shanks and ripper teeth are laterally spaced apart along the axis of rotation relative to the arm, and the ripper teeth are angularly spaced apart in a direction of substrate ripping motion. In some implementations, plates are mounted to span a region between two or more shanks, rearward of the teeth in a direction of ripping motion, and define, with the shanks, a bucket volume for receiving material ripped from the substrate. Methods for ripping excavation of a substrate employing the above excavation tools mounted on a dipper stick or a boom arm are also described.

Title: Lighting system including photonic emission and detection using light-emitting elements
Inventor: JUNGWIRTH PAUL
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2005-07-29
Granted: 2015-02-10
Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for generating light using light-emitting elements and detecting the intensity and spectral power distribution of light using the same light-emitting elements as spectrally sensitive photodetectors. The light-emitting elements function in two modes, an ON mode and an OFF mode, wherein in the ON mode the light-emitting elements are activated and emit light of a particular frequency or range of frequencies. When in the OFF mode, the light-emitting elements are deactivated, wherein they do not emit light but serve to detect photons incident upon them thus generating an electrical signal representative of the intensity and spectral power distribution of the incident photons. The detected signal from the deactivated light-emitting elements can be used to provide photonic feedback to a lighting system, and thereby may be used to control the brightness and colour balance of the lighting system. In addition, the light-emitting elements may be arranged such that no spectrally selective filters or optics are necessary to block or focus light onto the light-emitting elements when in the detection or OFF mode.

Title: Low-emission adhesive composition based on a solvent
Inventor: STAUF WOLFGANG
IPC: C09J129/04
Filed: 2005-09-20
Granted: 2012-11-27
Abstract: Described is a low-emission adhesive, whose polymers are dissolved in a mixture of acetone and ethanol. The adhesive is characterized by very low emissions of solvents, with otherwise equally good properties compared to standard solvent-synthetic resin based adhesives. In particular with respect to viscosity and spreadability, surface tension, depth of penetration, wettability, simplicity and speed of processing, as well as adhesion, gluing strength and adhesive spectrum, the adhesive of the invention is equal to other adhesives based on solvents and thus superior to dispersion-adhesives that are based on aqueous solutions. Due to its low solvent emissions and absence of chlorinated solvents, the present adhesive is suitable for applications for which only dispersion-adhesives that are based on aqueous dispersions were reserved until now. This is true in particular for applications in enclosed spaces. The adhesive is very suitable for gluing of wooden floors in internal construction work.
