Patent CA-2624373-A1 (CA)
Title: A hearing aid and a method of processing input signals in a hearing aid
Inventor: NORGAARD PETER MAGNUS
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 2005-10-11
Abstract: A hearing aid comprises two microphones, directional processing means (Dir1, Dir2) for combining the respective audio signals to form a spatial signal, a beamformer (35) for controlling the directional processing means to provide adaptation of the spatial signal, and means (LFB1, LFB2) for boosting low frequencies of the spatial signal. A feedback estimator generates a feedback compensation signal (7a, 7b), which is combined with the boosted spatial signal. By applying feedback compensation only after directional processing and low frequency boosting, the device avoids interference by the feedback estimator with the function of the beamformer. The invention also provides a method of processing signals in a hearing aid.

Title: The barbcue stone
IPC: A47J37/07
Filed: 2008-12-30
Abstract: The barbecue stone is a revolutionary new babecue accessory which will provide superior cooking and save consumers time and money.It consists of a left end stone,a right end stone,and two centre stones.They are placed on the grill inside the barbecue between the burner and the cooking grill where you would have previously placed lava rocks.The stones are placed evenly on the grill,centered to the front and back of the barbecue.This will leave a uniform space between the stones and the four internal walls of the babecue.This will then prevent any flare ups from occurring during the cooking process,which has been an annoying problem for babecuers through out the ages.  The stones where designed in four pieces per set to allow for various grill sizes to be properly fitted .(see diagram below)After the barbecue is lit the stones get very hot and conduct the heat. The spaces around the four walls then allow the hot air to flow evenly throughout the barbecue, creating convection similar to a regular oven.The stones are designed thicker in the front with a taper to the back, there is also a lip around the stones which contains excess fat and juices and makes them flow with the taper to the drain at the bottom of the babecue.This process will help keep the barbecue much cleaner which will give it a longer life span.The barbecue stones will initially be made available in sizes of 10,15,and 17 inches with future dimensions to be made available as necessary.Keep in mind that the width of the stones will variate depending on barbecue sizes.

Title: Lift apparatus
Inventor: JOHNSON DENNIS
IPC: B66B11/00
Filed: 2007-04-20
Abstract: A lift apparatus to deploy- from a storage position in a ceiling to a working position supported by the floor of a room below the ceiling where the lift apparatus is stored. A electrically motor powered drive raises a lift platform and lowers a lift platform to carry items from the room to an attic above the room. Controls are used to deploy the lift apparatus and to operate the lift platform on the lift apparatus. Preferred method of operating the lift apparatus is an acme screw drive which provides an appropriate mechanical advantage reducing the size of the motor required, but also will prevent downward movement either of the lift apparatus during the deployment procedure or of the lift platform while moving items from the attic to the room below the attic or from the room below the attic to the attic. The lift apparatus is supported by the floor and does not require any special bracing or strengthening of floor joists. When stored it is completely out of view of the living area of the room below the ceiling where the apparatus is stored.

Title: Process furnace or the like.
Inventor: JOUANNARD PHILIPPE
IPC: C23C16/04
Filed: 2007-04-24
Abstract: A part of a CVI/CVD furnace, in which a heating system (22) for heating the furnace is located, is isolated from a remaining part of the furnace exposed to a reactive gas present therein. The shell of the furnace may for example be proided with a dividing wall (16) or the like to provide a physical separation. In addition, an inert gas such as argon or nitrogen is supplied through conduit (34) to the heating zone containing the heating system so that part of the furnace is at positive pressure differential compared to the part in which the reactive gas is present. As a result, the reactive gas is retarded from contacting the heating system which could, among other things, cause deposits to form thereon. More generally, the control of reactive gas flow in the furnace is better controlled.
