Patent CA-2673640-A1 (CA)
Title: Device and process for heat transfer
Inventor: KROEHL PAUL
IPC: F28D13/00
Filed: 2009-07-21
Abstract: The invention refers to a device for heat transfer, particularly in fluidized bed equipment. Here, several layers of heat exchanger tubes are provided, with radial arms mounted in between to mix and loosen the product. In addition, the invention refers to a process for heat transfer in high-temperature processes for bulk material, particularly granulates or powders, in fluidized bed units, where the heat is transferred to and absorbed by the fluidised bed on several levels, and by the fluidised bulk material being activated mechanically between these levels. This allows transfer of high energy densities without the risk of bridging or local overheating.

Title: Process and device for the cold gas spraying of particles having different solidities and/or ductilities
Inventor: ARNDT AXEL
IPC: C23C4/12
Filed: 2008-01-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the cold-gas spraying of particles having different solidities and/or ductilities and to a cold-gas spraying de vice (11) suitable for use in said method. In order to obtain a comparativel y high proportion of particles (23) having higher solidity and/or smaller du ctility in comparison to the other particles (22), the invention proposes th at these particles are fed into an area (21) of the stagnation chamber (15) of the cold-gas spraying device which is very distant from the nozzle (14). Advantageously, the particles (23) have to cover a longer course through the stagnation chamber and are thus preheated. In this way, the deposition of t hese particles (23) on a substrate (25) is improved. Particularly metals hav ing a transition temperature ranging between brittle and ductile behaviour c an be provided with ductile properties by means of the preheating process, t hereby simplifying the deposition process.

Patent CA-2710337-A1 (CA)
Title: Video coding of filter coefficients based on horizontal and vertical symmetry
Inventor: KARCZEWICZ MARTA
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2009-01-08
Abstract: This disclosure recognizes and exploits the fact that some of the filter coefficients defined at the encoder may possess symmetry relative to other filter coefficients. Accordingly, this disclosure describes techniques in which a first set of the filter coefficients are used to predictively encode a second set of the filter coefficients, thereby exploiting any symmetry between filter coefficients. Rather than communicate all of the filter coefficients to the decoding device, the encoding device may communicate the first set of filter coefficients and difference values associated with the second set of filter coefficients. Using this information, the decoder may be able to reconstruct all of the filter coefficients. In some cases, if exact symmetry is imposed, the need to send the difference values may be eliminated and the decoder may be able to derive the second set of filter coefficients from the first set of filter coefficients.
