Patent CA-2729828-A1 (CA)
Title: Rotating billboard
Inventor: GATUSLAO GLENN GERRAD R
IPC: G09F13/20
Filed: 2009-09-11
Abstract: The Rotating Billboard is an improvement of the structures which are now being used by outdoor billboard operators in the industry. The current standard of the contemporary billboard structure consists of a steel frame on which a high resolution advertising material is tied using steel wires and illuminated using front-lit metal halides using steel light supports. The weight of the frame is supported by a series of web-like large steel angle bars and thrushes engineered to fully secure the structure in case of adverse weather conditions. The base is bolted through a concrete slab which is buried deeply beneath the ground. The Rotating Billboard is a smaller structure and may be strategically located on areas where the contemporary billboard could not.  The frame of the Rotating Billboard is composed of four sides and is illuminated from the inside. Thus, having a more modern, clean and aesthetically gallant image as compared to traditional billboards where the lightings are exposed and the steel light support braces provide a hazardous feel when people pass under it. The steel frame is supported by a movable steel cylinder inserted through a larger non- moving cylinder the base of which is bolted by a series of knots to a concrete slab that is buried on the ground. The ball bearing assembly on which the inner cylinder rests allows clockwise and counter- clockwise rotation rendering directional flexibility on the advertising media faces. The initial utility model may be maneuvered manually, although future enhancements may feature automation for added attractiveness.

Abstract: A method for automatically mapping a cabin and travel class structure of an airline disrupted flight into the ones of replacement flights is described. The cabin and travel class structure of the airline disrupted flight are first retrieved. For each passenger impacted by the disruption, a base disrupted flight is determined out of the passenger itinerary. For the whole disruption period the cabin and travel class structure of the replacement flights are split in sub-periods. For each disruption sub-period, the mapping is initialized by first establishing a direct match between the cabin and travel class structures. Then, the direct match is validated against the actual cabin and travel class structure of the replacement flights which includes pinpointing all found discrepancies. All class matching tables (CMTs) that apply to the disrupted flight for the disruption period considered are retrieved from a repository of rules. The cabin and travel class structure of the replacement flights are further split in sub-periods to imbed the actual validity periods of the retrieved CMTs. Finally, rules of the retrieved CMTs are applied to resolve all found discrepancies. Thus, a fully automatic mapping is achieved between the cabin and travel class structure of the airline disrupted flight and the cabin and travel class structure of the one or more replacement flights.

IPC: C09D5/29
Filed: 2010-04-28
Abstract: A new method to control the iridescence colour of solid nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) films by ultrasound and high-shear (mechanical) energy input to the NCC suspension prior to film formation is provided. As the energy input to the NCC suspension increases, the resulting film colour shifts from the ultraviolet region towards the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum; this wavelength shift lies in the opposite direction to that caused by the addition of electrolytes to NCC suspensions prior to film formation. No additives are required to achieve the changes in colour; colour changes can also be effected by mixing two suspensions exposed to different levels of sonication of differing sonication levels.
