Patent CA-2538684-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHEN JAMES C T
IPC: C02F1/40
Filed: 2006-03-02
Abstract: A mechanical vessel may effectively and simultaneously displace a first undesired gas from within water with a second desired gas, and remove at least one alkaline species and oily matter from the water. The vessel raises the pH  of the water and reduces the lime requirement for subsequent lime softening. The vessel receives the water containing the first gas and passes the water through a series of gasification chambers. Each gasification chamber may have a mechanism that ingests and mixes a second gas into the water thereby physically displacing at least a portion of the first gas into a vapor space at the top of each gasification chamber from which it is subsequently removed. There is an absence of communication between the vapor spaces of adjacent chambers. An acid is added to remove the alkaline species, where the first gas is an optional by-product that is also removed.

Patent CA-2539843-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HIGGINS PHILLIP
IPC: B65D51/20
Filed: 2006-03-16
Abstract: A snap-off closure for a container is disclosed. The closure is injection moulded from plastics material and comprises (a) a body 61 that has a top wall 5 that has a central opening 7 and (b) a cap 9 that closes the opening 7 when the closure is an operative position on the container. The closure also comprises a region of reduced wall thickness 11 that defines a fracture line that facilitates separation of the cap from the closure. The cap 9 has two diametrically opposed inwardly projecting tabs 23 that cause a greater amount of post-moulding shrinkage than the adjacent parts of the cap after injection moulding of the closure. Consequently, the tabs 23 place a section of the region of reduced wall, thickness that is close to the tabs 23 in tension whereby this section preferentially fractures when a person applies force to separate the cap from the closure.

Title: A system and a method for improving the captured images of digital still cameras
Inventor: HALPERN OREN
IPC: H04N5/91
Filed: 2005-10-10
Abstract: The present invention is a system and method which enable users achieve optimal results according to their preferences in digital still pictures. The preferred embodiments of the present invention, which may be installed on any apparatus which captures digital still images, such as digital cameras, cellular phones, PDA, allow users to achieve the still picture according to criteria they determined in advance. Users may define the attributes of the still picture they wish to have in the final photograph and the camera automatically determines the optimal timing to capture the image as users press the shutter button half way down. In addition, the camera may also correct the captured image according to predefined criteria. The system may therefore automatically avoid common flaws regarding the timing of the captured image and solve some of the image deformations caused by the use of the flash such as red-eye and reflections.
