Patent CA-2492637-A1 (CA)
Title: Capteur thermique isole concu pour un systeme d'humidification
Inventor: SMITH MALCOLM DAVID
IPC: A61M16/10
Filed: 2003-07-25
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un système de distribution de gaz et en particulier à des capteurs thermiques. Le capteur selon l'invention est conçu pour déterminer la température d'un flux de gaz respiratoires et comprend un logement de capteur (36) configuré pour être positionné à proximité immédiate d'un flux de gaz ainsi qu'un transducteur de température (31) qui est logé dans ledit logement de capteur (36). Ce logement de capteur (36) fait barrière, dans une large mesure, aux agents pathogènes, entre le flux de gaz et le transducteur de température (31), mais permet au transducteur de température de fournir une indication essentielle concernant la température du flux de gaz. En particulier, la température des gaz est détectée à distance par l'intermédiaire d'un chemin conducteur (38) à travers la paroi du circuit respiratoire (14). Ce chemin conducteur (38), qui fait corps avec le circuit respiratoire (14), peut ensuite être mis au rebut ou réutilisé après un processus de stérilisation approprié.

Abstract: The scope of this invention is a product and technique for individually decorated laminate boards for the purpose of an all encompassing decorative laminate floor pattern. The laminate floor packages are for specific floor measurements and the installation technique delivers a real seam location that is virtually invisible. This process of installing laminate flooring allows the laminate floor to feature decorative centered patterns with border inlays. All of the decorated patterns are made of computer graphic images and are placed on the laminate boards using customized manufacturing techniques. The centerpieces match the border inlays to deliver a very high end palace appearance.

Abstract: A float assembly for a multifunction fuel vapor vent valve with a float having a recess formed in the upper surface of the float with a slot formed in the side of the float and communicating with the recess. A raised surface portion is formed in the bottom of the recess and downwardly extending projections are formed in the slot at the recess. A flexible wafer like valve disk is inserted in the slot and deformed or curled to pass under the projections and over the raised surface and into the recess.

Abstract: An organization system using location information, possibly in conjunction with time based information for tasks, with the purpose of optimizing user travel distance and/or time to complete specified tasks. Task organization may include alternate criteria such as importance, or sharing and assigning of tasks over groups to optimize in terms of the time/location/schedule of other members of the group. The mobile system may alert users of some tasks based on the user proximity to those tasks, alert of other tasks based on both time and location, or others based solely on the current time and the time of the task. The system can provide a dynamic schedule, changing based on time estimates of the user tasks as well as actual time to complete user tasks, estimates of travel time between tasks, as well as other criteria
Patent CA-2512803-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ENGLAND GLENN CHARLES
IPC: F01N3/20
Filed: 2005-07-21
Abstract: A method for reducing ammonia emissions in combustion exhaust gases and other waste streams using an oxidation catalyst (21, 31), whereby unreacted ammonia (ammonia "slip") is reduced downstream of a Selective Catalytic Reduction ("SCR") system (23, 33) simultaneously with the reduction of other gaseous pollutants.  The invention utilizes a noble metal-based catalyst, such as Pt, Pd or Ru, such that the ammonia is oxidized in the presence of oxygen to a species having a higher oxidation state of nitrogen, preferably elemental nitrogen N2. The efficiency of the process can be increased by optimizing the catalyst operating conditions and adjusting the temperature and space velocity, or the position of the metal-based catalyst relative to the SCR system (23, 33).

Patent CA-2520756-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WOODS JOHN T
IPC: F03G3/00
Filed: 2005-09-06
Abstract: In previous attempts to construct a perpetual motion machine, each device has found its own equilibrium without producing the anticipated results. The Reverse-Feed Pressure Motor employs a driving gear which engages an anchor year at its equatorial (at 'nine o'clock, and/or three o'clock). Its shaft is held there via bearings, by a teeter beam which may rotate slightly about the axis of the anchor wheel. On the anchor shaft is an anchor sprocket which must be somewhat smaller than the anchor gear; and on the drive shaft is a drive sprocket. [The ratio of the drive sprocket to the drive gear is equal to the ratio of the anchor sprocket to the anchor gear.] Chains travel in circuit from the drive sprockets to the anchor sprockets; but because of the presence of reversing sprockets located above and below both the anchor and the drive sprockets, the chain must travel such that the drive wheels are caused to rotate in concert with the anchor wheels as they 'fall'-they are held to a constant equatorial station-and so long as pressure is applied to the teeter truck, the drive wheels, and all related wheels, are unable to reach stasis. I.e. The spin function is perpetuated. When a shaft carrying upper direction-reversing sprockets is extended beyond its tree post support, it is able to support a very large wheel (even more than double the radius of the anchor wheel) which, owing to the faster spin rate of the feed sprocket, spins very fast, and generates efficient usable energy conversion.
