Patent CA-2505327-A1 (CA)
Title: Mobile lighting system
Inventor: OSSOLINSKI GEORGE
IPC: F21V3/00
Filed: 2003-05-19
Abstract: A mobile lighting apparatus includes an envelope or balloon (2) which contains a frame (4) supporting an illuminating device (3) typically an electric light bulb (18) inside the envelope (2). The envelope (2) is mounted on a telescopic mast (6) supported by a movable base element (16) incorporating stabilising legs (12). The envelope (2) may be inflatable or rigid. For an inflatable envelope (2), the apparatus includes various sensors (30, 32) for sensing deformation and/or pressure in the envelope and a means to supply air or other gas to inflate the envelope. A rigid envelope formed from two conjoined sheets of acrylic deformed into dome shapes overcomes many of the problems of inflatable envelopes, in particular, their slow inflation rate, the tendency to deform due to air current, and the adverse effect of punctures. Although a fan is not required for inflation of the rigid envelope, fan forced air is preferred for cooling the electric light bulb.

Abstract: A paraffinic spray oil and a method of using the spray oil for controlling turfgrass pests is disclosed. The spray oil comprises paraffinic oil and a quick break emulsifier, which is formulated as an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion for use. The paraffinic oil and emulsifier are present in a weight ratio ranging from about 95:5 to about 99.95:0.05, and preferably from about 98.5:1.5 to about 99.9:0.1. When applied to turfgrass, the O/W emulsion quickly releases the oil phase upon application to the turfgrass to contact pests thereon. When provided at sufficient paraffinic oil dosages, generally at least about 0.5 gal oil/acre and preferably in the range of about 0.5 gal/acre to about 60 gal/acre, the spray oil is effective in controlling a variety of turfgrass pests, particularly insect and fungal pests, with little or no phytotoxic effects. Further, use of the spray oil as indicated for controlling turfgrass pests also enhances the growth of turfgrass.

Title: Interference control in a broadband powerline communication system
Inventor: GERSZBERG IRWIN
IPC: H04B3/54
Filed: 2005-08-26
Abstract: A broadband powerline communication system is disclosed which makes use of knowledge of the spectrum characteristics of a local radio environment in order to improve the performance of the system. A determination is made of the spectrum characteristics of a radio environment in the vicinity of the broadband powerline communication system that is transmitting data on modulated carrier frequencies. Certain ones of the carrier frequencies otherwise used by the broadband powerline communication system may be masked (i.e., not used) by all or part of the broadband powerline system in order to avoid interference based on the determination. In various embodiments, the spectrum characteristics are determined 1) in advance and used to compile a configuration database comprising frequency masking parameters; 2) by monitoring the local radio environment using the transmitter/receiver nodes of the system; or 3) based upon receipt of an indication from a conflicting user that the user is experiencing interference. Various combinations of these spectrum characteristic determination techniques may also be used.

Patent CA-2523819-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HU SHENGGEN
IPC: G01N23/14
Filed: 2004-05-20
Abstract: An image (100) of particulate material, such as an X-ray image of coal, is captured and processed to determine a parameter of the material, such as particle density or particle size distribution. The performance or efficiency of a processing system, such as a dense medium separator, can be evaluated by determining parameters of the material before entry to and after exit from the processing system. The parameter is determined by comparing image characteristics (relating to statistical features or the like of the material), to a predetermined set of image characteristics. If the image (100) is obtained by transmission of radiation through the material, accuracy can be improved by measuring the thickness of the material.
