Abstract: A solar collector arrangement includes a number of assemblies (1), which are immersed or partially immersed in a pond of water (2). Each assembly (1) includes a parabolic reflector (3) and an absorber (6). Barriers (10) are Iocated on or near the surface of the water (2) and operate to reduce waves which may otherwise disturb the direct passage of sunlight in windy conditions. The complete immersion of the assembly (1) in the liquid serves to simultaneously protect and cool the apparatus, while allowing ease of sun~10 tracking movements by buoyancy induced rotation. Partially immersed versions have higher efficiency and protect against severe weather by inverting into the water.

Patent CA-2538087-C (CA)
Inventor: WALTERS ANTHONY J
IPC: H04L9/00
Filed: 2006-02-28
Granted: 2016-02-02
Abstract: A system and method for remote device registration, to monitor and meter the injection of keying or other confidential information onto a device, is provided. A producer who utilizes one or more separate manufacturers, operates a remote module that communicates over forward and backward channels with a local module at the manufacturer. Encrypted data transmissions are sent by producer to the manufacturer and are decrypted to obtain sensitive data used in the devices. As data transmissions are decrypted, credits from a credit pool are depleted and can be replenished by the producer through credit instructions. As distribution images are decrypted, usage records are created and eventually concatenated, and sent as usage reports back to the producer, to enable the producer to monitor and meter production at the manufacturer. In an alternative arrangement overproduction may be inhibited by introducing a separation of duties within a manufacturing process. Typically a producer will contract out the various stages of manufacturing to multiple contractors. In general, separation of duties involves purposefully separating manufacturing stages, for silicon chips or other devices, so that the end product must have been "touched", by each subcontractor, in order for the end product to be fully functional.

Granted: 2012-12-04
Abstract: Users of a terminal may only require access to a portion of an application, but current applications must typically be downloaded in their entirety. One example is when a user with limited permissions in an accounting application typically installs all modules of the application, including those to which access is restricted. Methods and systems for adapting a provisioned content of an application program on a terminal are provided, the application including a set of addressable logical modules having respective executable methods. One such method comprises the steps of provisioning a first definition of the application on the terminal, the first definition including a corresponding first group of logical modules selected from the set of logical modules. This method also evaluates the provisioned content based on one or more criteria, which may include execution path information of the application corresponding to the initial definition, and then determines a second definition of the application including a corresponding second group of logical modules based on the evaluation of the execution path information. The second group of logical modules is selected from the set of logical modules.  The method also includes revising the first group of logical modules to correspond to the second group of logical modules to provide a revised content, and adapts the provisioned content of the application on the terminal to correspond to the revised content.

Abstract: An expression vector is constructed by transferring recombinant tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) cDNA, in which a coat protein of ToMV having a suppressor for a virus resistant reaction has been substituted by a GFP gene, into the downstream of a promoter capable of inducing steroid hormone-dependent transcription. In a transformed tobacco BY-2 cell obtained by transferring the above expression vector into a tobacco BY-2 cell, steroid hormone-dependent transcription is induced, thereby enabling the amplification of mRNA of the GFP gene and induction of the expression of GFP.

Filed: 2005-12-09
Granted: 2012-10-09
Abstract: A power actuator is provided for a door latch. A transfer lever within the housing is selectively coupled to a motor-driven worm gear via a lost motion connector. Engaging the motor moves the transfer lever between a locked and an unlocked position, actuating an output lever mounted to a spline on the transfer lever. The worm gear returns to a neutral position when the motor is disengaged, leaving the transfer lever in either the locked or unlocked positions. Manually moving the output lever causes the transfer lever to move between its locked and unlocked positions without back-driving the worm gear.  A toggle mechanism prevents the transfer lever from accidentally moving or only moving partially between the locked and unlocked positions.
