Patent CA-2564280-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHIMIZU YASUO
IPC: B60L50/16
Filed: 2005-04-05
Abstract: A hybrid vehicle (100) can be driven using both of respective driving forces from an engine (10) and a motor (80). A heating mechanism (120) of an air conditioning apparatus (110) uses thermal energy from cooling water of the engine (10) to heat the interior of a passenger compartment. An ECU (90) tak es into consideration engine efficiency from the standpoint of fuel economy enhancement to primarily determine the driving force share ratio between the engine (10) and the motor (80). Further, the ECU (90) calculates a preset temperature corresponding to a cooling water temperature necessary for desir ed heating as well as a control target temperature in which the preset temperature is reflected, and corrects the primarily determined driving forc e share ratio to increase the share of the driving force of the engine by an amount according to a deviation between the cooling water temperature (Tw) measured by a water temperature sensor (98) and the control target temperature. Heating performance can thus be ensured promptly without deterioration of fuel economy.

Patent CA-2572730-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEGTERS DEREK
IPC: C07F7/18
Filed: 2004-07-12
Abstract: A low-VOC silanol additive is provided for a wide range of silane treatment operations, including treating cellulose fibers in fiber cement applications.  The silanol additive is made by hydrolyzing silane at the presence of a catalyst and then removing substantially all of the VOCs, such as alcohol, that are released by the hydrolysis reaction to produce a low-VOC and/or substantially alcohol-free silanol additive. The low-VOC silanol additive can be used in various industrial processes without increasing the VOC emission at the manufacturing facility. The silanol additive can be directly applied to the treated surface so as to eliminate the reaction time needed for hydrolyzing silane in most conventional silane treatment processes. The silanol additive can be added to a solution containing the treated substrate or directly applied as a surface treatment.
