Patent CA-2653405-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAND PAUL KENNETH
IPC: B05B11/00
Filed: 2007-05-30
Abstract: A fluid dispenser (10) comprises a dosing chamber (20), a piston member (14), a fluid outlet (52) through which fluid will be dispensed, a fluid conduit (34, 46) for conveying fluid from the dosing chamber towards the fluid outlet, and a seal (50, 54) for sealing the fluid outlet; wherein: the piston member has a first end (22) that acts as a piston within the dosing chamber for: a) pumping fluid from the dosing chamber through the fluid conduit towards the fluid outlet when moved in a first manner relative to the dosing chamber, and b) filling the dosing chamber with fluid from a supply of fluid when moved in a second manner relative to the dosing chamber; the piston member has a second end (42) positioned outside the dosing chamber and forming at least a part of the seal; the seal is movable from a normal closed state, in which the seal prevents fluid communication between the fluid conduit and the fluid outlet, to an open state, in which the seal provides for fluid communication between the fluid conduit and the fluid outlet; and the dispenser is adapted such that movement of the first end of the piston member in the first manner causes fluid in the fluid conduit to be pressurised to an extent sufficient to move the seal from its normal closed state to its open state thereby enabling fluid to be pumped through the fluid outlet. A one-way valve (31) may be carried by the first end of the piston member for controlling the flow of fluid into and out of the dosing chamber. The fluid conduit may comprise a section (34) which extends through the piston member, e.g. a lumen thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides a mechanism for recording interactions with a Mobile Device to create a map of the structure of the menu system, Mobile Applications, and Mobile Service available on the device. A Recording / Control Environment is integrated with a physical Mobile Device, controls the Mobile Device, and records the resulting data from the Device. The Recording / Control Environment then saves the data as a map of the system structure. Once this graph has been created with a state representing every page available on the device, and with links representing every means of navigating between the individual states of the device, the graph can be used to re-create the experience of interacting with the device. A user may then virtually interact with a representative device through a Run-Time Environment, which uses the map structure to replay the interactions of the mobile device.

Title: Reformer system, fuel cell system, and their operation method
Inventor: ISHIDA TOMOTAKA
IPC: H01M8/06
Filed: 2008-02-14
Abstract: When interrupting generation by a fuel cell (3) in a fuel cell system (1), an amount of raw material-fuel to be introduced to reforming catalyst (2a) in the reformer (2) is reduced. Here, before the temperature of the reforming catalyst (2a) is lowered to the temperature of generation of non-reformed gas, air is introduced to the reforming catalyst (2a) to increase the temperature of the reforming catalyst (2a). For this, the reforming catalyst (2a) is heated or air is introduced to the reforming catalyst (2a).Thus, the temperature of the reforming catalyst (2a) is increased, which prevents generation of non-reformed gas upon stop of generation in the fuel cell (3) and supplies reformed gas to the fuel cell (3).

IPC: G01V3/00
Filed: 2008-04-02
Abstract: A method for designing a controlled-source electromagnetic survey, in the field of surveying for and producing hydrocarbons, that will discriminate between a defined deep marginal-interest reservoir and specified false positive resistivity structures of concern. A  reservoir model and a false positive model are constructed for each false positive scenario.  The resistivity of the false positive model may be tuned to give electromagnetic data similar enough to the reservoir model when forward modeled that any differences fall in the model null space. A null-space discriminating ratio ('NSDR') is defined, for example as the peak normalized difference of the two related modeled electromagnetic field data sets. An area coverage display of NSDR values allows determination of such additional data as may be needed to distinguish the false positive body, and a survey design is developed accordingly.  Reduction of the number of variables affecting the area coverage displays is achieved.
