IPC: B60R99/00
Filed: 2011-05-05
Abstract: Generally described, aspects of the disclosed subject matter are directed to managing the configuration of a vehicle. In accordance with one embodiment, a method of modifying the configuration of a vehicle based on the vehicle's location is provided. The method includes receiving, from a remote Satellite Positioning System ("SPS") device, positioning data that identifies the location of the vehicle. Then, the positioning data is used to identify one or more regulations that are applicable, given the location of the vehicle. Based on collected vehicle readings, a determination is made regarding whether the configuration of the vehicle should be modified. In turn, the method may cause the configuration of the vehicle to be modified to comply with the one or more regulations.

Patent CA-2743439-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WOHLTJEN HENRY
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2009-10-29
Abstract: A wireless time-of-flight distance measure-ment device and/or a motion detector is used at each of a plurality of stations in a wireless network in an enclosed fa-cility to accurately locate a badge-wearing person near the station. The location, badge number and time of detection are transmitted through the network and stored in a computer memory. In a healthcare facility, hand washing detectors are located at some of the stations and caused to energize a hand wash status indicator light on the badge when the wearer has washed his or her hands. The light remains "on" for only a certain length of time, but will be extinguished sooner by a monitor device near each patient when the healthcare worker leaves the vicinity of the patient. These events also are trans-mitted and stored so that a timed record of each worker's hand washing and visits to patients is created.

Inventor: HOPP MICHAEL
IPC: B60P3/22
Filed: 2011-12-15
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a portable storage and supply tank of industrial size for the storage and dispensing of various fluids including those containing potentially environmentally and/or health hazardous components wherein the fluid storage tank is permanently mounted to its own trailer on its bottom surface to eliminate the need for the laborious, time consuming and potentially dangerous processes required to mount and dismount the prior art tanks onto the flatbed haulers. The use of these wheeled storage tanks therefore eliminates the need to mount and dismount the tanks onto and off wheeled flatbeds by chains or other laborious and potentially dangerous fastening means and vastly reduces the manpower and man hours associated with these processes and the need for additional specialized machinery to aid in the mounting and dismounting process.  The ease of installation and removal associated with the wheeled, fluid storage tanks also helps to dramatically reduce the trucking and transport costs;  dramatically reduce driver exposure time on highway and location, reduced trip and slip hazards and reduce or eliminate environmental spill hazards.

Title: Selective leach recovery of minerals from composite ores
Inventor: DAHAL MADHAV P
IPC: C22B13/00
Filed: 2010-08-17
Abstract: Calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn) and magnesium (Mg) carbonate plus lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) sulphide minerals in a permeable host, crushed ore, concentrates or as mine discharge tailing are selectively solution mined (in-situ or ex-situ) with a selected acid e.g. acetic acid to extract Ca, Mn, and Mg followed by multivalent oxidizing salts e.g. ferric salts to extract Pb and Zn sequentially. For in-situ leaching, an inter relationship has been identified between pressure, temperature, target depth and leachate concentration such that carbonate leaching is performed in a manner to prevent carbon dioxide gas (CO2) discharge thereby plugging host rock permeability avenues to preclude further leaching. This requires controlling the rate of acetic acid leaching to be in step with availability of solution to dissolve the resulting discharged CO2. Sulphide leaching is subsequently conducted on the carbonate-depleted host. The two resulting leachates are chemically treated to selectively recover extracted minerals as value added industrially ready products. The in situ method is particularly advantageous in preparing the high purity manganese products necessary for lithium ion batteries because it prevents occurrence of very fine metallic particles in the products that may happen during conventional mining. Alternatively, the in situ carbonate recovery steps can be independently employed; all in an environmentally friendly manner.
