Patent CA-2712871-A1 (CA)
Title: Pallet assembly
Inventor: APPS WILLIAM P
IPC: B65D19/00
Filed: 2004-04-28
Abstract: A pallet assembly includes an upper deck (12) and a lower deck (14) spaced by a plurality of columns (16). The weight of the pallet is reduced without significant reduction in strength by providing only a single cross beam in each of the upper and lower reinforcement members and orienting them perpendicular to one another.  The reinforcement members (50) are minimized for weight reduction and for improved performance in heat tests. The peripheral rail of the upper reinforcement member is reduced such that it rests on only an inwardly open recess on an inner corner of each of the corner columns. This reduces the size and weight of the upper reinforcement member, while still providing support to the upper deck. Additionally, the peripheral rails of both the upper and lower decks are reduced in length such that either ledge does not directly support them while the pallet is stored on a rack. As a result, in the case of sufficient heat source on the pallets, the pallets will eventually collapse without interference from the reinforcement members and at least partially smother the heat source.

IPC: H04W16/10
Filed: 2008-11-10
Abstract: Providing fairness-based metrics for managing inter-sector interference of a mobile AN is described herein. By way of example, accumulation of resource utilization messages (RUMs) at a sector of the mobile AN can be based at least in part on a performance metric of that sector as compared with one or more neighboring sectors. In at least one aspect, performance metrics of multiple sectors of the mobile AN can be aggregated and a RUM accumulation rate of each sector is determined based on the aggregated metric. Accumulation rates can further be updated periodically as sector and/or aggregated metrics of the mobile AN change. Accordingly, accumulation and utilization of RUMs is based on inter-sector fairness to optimize overall wireless communication quality of service for the mobile AN.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pipe arrangement (10) for temperature control of a building, having a single feed pipe (12) and a single return pipe (20), that can be used for operating a concrete core activation during the night and for providing additional cooling power for peak load operation during the day.  First and second temperature control circuits (26, 28) branch off from said pipes in a known manner. The direction of flow within the feed end segment (16) of the feed pipe (12) and the return end segment (24) of the return pipe (20) can be reversed by means of a changeover valve (42). Said end segments thus take on a feed or a return function, depending on the flow direction. Check valves (38, 40) within the feed and return end segments (16, 24) ensure that the temperature control medium exiting the currently activated temperature control circuit (26 or 28) does not flow into the corresponding non-activated temperature control circuit (28 or 26).
