Patent CA-2414174-A1 (CA)
Title: Data view of a modelling system
Inventor: ANDERSON MARK STEPHEN
IPC: G06F3/14
Filed: 2002-04-30
Abstract: An observation sub-system is described wherein in three-dimensional (3D) views of objects and their interactions over time are provided. Each different view is based on a fundamental visualisation paradigm. For example, Data View's location of virtual objects within a space is based on the interaction of real and virtual objects from the environment under examination. DataView, as its name suggests is intended to provide a view where the basic paradigm is simply one of data driven events rather than geographic location. Heavily interacting objects, eg. producers and consumers of data, can be depicted as being located "close together" for example. Therefore, rules are created so as to define the position of objects not only from the perspective of whether interaction occurred, but also the amount of interaction, and the rate of interaction.  Despite using proximity to show whether an object is interacting with another, further visual mechanisms are used for the user to be able to analyse the type of data interaction, and the current state of affairs of interaction within a specified time slice. There are two types of forces acting on objects in the data view universe, gravitational (as a result of the mass of an object) and electrostatic (as a result of the charge on an object).

Abstract: Apparatus for handling and controlling the nurturing of plants comprises a greenhouse for providing a first environmental zone for nurturing plants, a plant warehouse for providing a second environmental zone for nurturing plants, transport rails extending from within the first environmental zone to within the second environmental zone, and a plurality of ebb and flood trays. The first environmental zone is located in the greenhouse in a region positioned to receive substantial amounts of sunlight. The second environmental zone is located in the warehouse in a region substantially sheltered from sunlight. The ebb and flood trays each include a valve for controlling fluid flow into and out from a flood region within the tray. The valve includes means for receiving a fluid flow from an external source of fluid through a top end of the valve and, in response to the flow, for diverting the flow into the flood region of the tray. Further the valve includes means responsive to the absence of the flow for permitting fluid from the flood region to drain through a bottom end of the valve. A method of handling and controlling the nurturing of plants in an ebb arid flood tray includes the steps of maintaining first and second environmental zones for nurturing plants; maintaining transport rails extending from within the first environmental zone to within the second environmental zone, adapting the tray for riding movement on the rails, positioning the tray on the rails for such movement, and carrying the plants in the tray.  The first zone is located in a structure in a region positioned to receive substantial amounts of sunlight. The second zone is located in a structure in a region substantially sheltered from sunlight. At a first time, and if a first prescribed condition is satisfied, the tray with the plants is moved along the rails from within the first environmental zone to within the second environmental zone. At a subsequent time, and if a second prescribed condition is satisfied, the tray with the plants is moved along the rails from within the second environmental zone to within the first environmental zone.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne les lampes fluorescentes. Une lampe fluorescente est constituée, habituellement, d'un boîtier fixé, normalement, au plafond, sur lequel sont montées des douilles de lampe. Dans ces douilles de lampe peut être inséré un tube fluorescent qui, normalement, présente une enceinte à décharge cylindrique dont les extrémités sont pourvues de capuchons terminaux qui portent des broches de contact. Le tube fluorescent est maintenu dans la douille de lampe et le courant électrique est transmis de cette douille à un filament boudiné qui est placé dans l'enceinte à décharge. Normalement, un filament boudiné est disposé sur chacune des faces opposées de l'enceinte à décharge. Le tube fluorescent fonctionne, normalement, au moyen d'une source de courant alternatif. La présente invention concerne un dispositif qui comporte un premier adaptateur d'équilibrage et un second adaptateur d'équilibrage. Ces adaptateurs d'équilibrage présentent chacun des éléments de raccordement femelles destinés à recevoir des broches de contact du tube fluorescent, ainsi que des fiches mâles servant au raccordement électrique et mécanique avec des éléments de contact des porte-lampe en vis-à-vis. Entre les éléments de connexion femelles et les fiches mâles du premier ou du second adaptateur d'équilibrage est monté un dispositif économiseur d'énergie.
