Patent CA-2849356-A1 (CA)
Title: A method and system for optimizing power generated from a photovoltaic system
Inventor: CLELAND THOMAS WILLIAM
IPC: H01L31/05
Filed: 2011-09-23
Abstract: In one embodiment, a photovoltaic (PV) power generation system includes a plurality of PV arrays coupled to an automatic switchbox that connects the one or more PV arrays in series or in parallel with each other based at least in part on output voltage of the switchbox. In this embodiment, the automatic switchbox monitors the output voltage and ensures that the output voltage is within a predetermined operational range. If the output voltage exceeds a first predetermined voltage, then the array switchbox electrically couples one or more PV arrays in parallel with each other, which reduces the output voltage within the predetermined operational range. If the output voltage falls below a second predetermined voltage, the switchbox connects one or more PV arrays in series with each other, which increases the output voltage to within the predetermined range.

Title: Termination collar for air duct
Inventor: HARMAN RODNEY J
IPC: F16L5/00
Filed: 2012-08-17
Abstract: The apparatus disclosed herein serves as a termination point for a connection of metal pipe, plastic pipe, flexible pipe, or duct elbows to a diffuser through a wall, ceiling, or similar surface structure. The projection portion of the apparatus into which the diffuser is installed is substantially rigid, and thus generally prohibits deformation and damage as the apparatus and surrounding surface/structure is installed. For modification, break points and tear-away markers may be provided to aid in removal of portions for specific applications such as low internal clearance.
Patent CA-2849814-A1 (CA)
Title: Downhole rotating magnetic field generator
Inventor: CHEN WEI
IPC: E21B4/02
Filed: 2012-08-28
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a downhole rotating magnetic field generator, wherein a stator assembly is formed by fixedly connecting a guiding stator, windings, and a body together, and a rotor assembly is formed by mounting a turbine rotor and a permanent magnet together. Between the stator assembly and the rotor assembly, sliding bearings are arranged and small mud passages are formed. There is no metal isolation between the rotor and the stator for cutting through the magnetic lines of force, so that the eddy current loss is relatively small. Meanwhile, with mud flowing through the passages as lubricant, overheating of the generator can be prevented and high power output can be ensured.

Title: Lock device having a multi-part pawl
Inventor: HUNT ROBERT
IPC: E05B85/26
Filed: 2012-10-17
Abstract: A lock unit for a vehicle includes a rotatable catch biased in an opening direction about a catch rotation axis toward an open position of the lock unit in which a first recess of the catch is configured to receive a striker of the vehicle. Additionally, the catch includes a second recess disposed before the first recess in the opening direction. A pawl rotatable about a fixed pawl pivot axis is biased toward the catch. The pawl includes a blocking arm which extends into the second recess of the catch when the lock unit is in a secondary latched position. A blocking lever abuts the blocking arm of the pawl against the catch in a primary latched position of the lock unit preventing rotation of the pawl away from the catch. A rocker lever intersects both the path of the catch and the blocking lever. When the lock unit is forced from the secondary latched position to the primary latched position, the rocker is displaced by the catch and shifts the blocking lever away from the pawl.

Patent CA-2856284-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OSADA MASAKAZU
IPC: A43C1/02
Filed: 2012-11-01
Abstract: A conventional cord having bulges is provided with an elastic rubber core and exhibits a difference in elongation or contraction between the rubber part corresponding to the end of each bulge and the rubber part corresponding to the center thereof. Namely, a part which undergoes severe elongation and contraction and a part which does not undergo elongation or contraction coexist in the elastic core. Therefore, a high strain is accumulated in the boundary region between both parts, so that the core results in rupture when the strain reaches a limit. Such a conventional cord is disadvantageous in that a relatively weak material such as rubber is unavoidably subjected to operation causative of strain accumulation. The present invention is a cord provided with a tubular cord body that is made of a stretchable material and that has bulges which are repeatedly arranged with spaces thereamong and the diameters of which change in dependence on the axial tension applied to the cord body.

Title: Promoters for increased protein expression in meningococcus
Inventor: DELANY ISABEL
IPC: C12N15/74
Filed: 2013-02-01
Abstract: New promoters are described to drive transcription in meningococcus e.g. for over-expression of protein antigens for retention in membrane vesicles. Modified porA promoters lack the wild-type poly-G sequence which can cause phase variation. Meningococcal rRNA-coding genes (e.g. for 16S rRNA) can be used to drive transcription of a protein-coding gene. These approaches can be used in combination.

Title: Recirculating vertical wind tunnel skydiving simulator and reduced drag cable for use in wind tunnels and other locations
Inventor: METNI N ALAN
IPC: A63G31/00
Filed: 2005-08-01
Abstract: A vertical wind tunnel flight simulator comprises a flight chamber wherein a flier may experience a freefall simulation. Airflow to support the flier is induced by fans connected above the flight chamber through a duct. A staging area having openings to the flight chamber is adjacent to the flight chamber. One or two return air ducts are used to return air from the fans outlet to the fans inlet. Opposed louvers are included on at least one duct segment thereby regulating the temperature via forcing ambient air into the simulator. The use of many duct segments having diverging walls adds commercial value to the system by lowering the height. Mounting components on the roof and behind walls creates a spectacular pedestrian viewing scene of people in flight.
