Patent CA-2713520-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHWARZE SASCHA OLIVER
IPC: F24S23/70
Filed: 2010-08-26
Abstract: Known photovoltaic plants have longitudinal solar panels which are fixed on both sides or crested over their entire surface and alternate in the manner of steps with longitudinal reflector elements, so that these reflect the sunlight, which has made it between the rows of the solar panels, onto the solar panels. In this case, known reflector elements are realized as complex independent spatial constructions which are used at the same time for the two-sided mounting of the solar panels. In the case of the photovoltaic plant (01) according to the invention, the solar panels (02) are mounted on one side in the region of their lower edge (13), as a result of which a particularly good mounting and accessibility results. For stabilization, a plurality of vertically running bending-resistant reflector clamping strips (18) are arranged on the back (08) of each solar panel (02), which surround the solar panel (02) at its upper and lower edges (11, 13) with lower and upper dual angled portions (22, 31). In addition, the bending-resistant reflector clamping strips (18) are used for the secure and reliable connection of the reflector elements (09) to the solar panels (02) . In this case, the reflector elements (09) are in the case of the invention realized as simple thin bending-resistant or flexible reflector sheets (19), which do not necessitate any construction outlay and are particularly simple to mount.

Abstract: An improved handheld electronic device and keypad include keys having upstanding engagement surfaces that provide a greater effective space between keys than the nominal key-to-key distance therebetween. More particularly, an upstanding engagement surface of one key is spaced farther from that of an adjacent key than the nominal key-to-key distance therebetween. The added space facilitates input by reducing miskeying errors, which allows for faster input with reduced visual and mental attention being required during such input.

Abstract: Described are methods of reducing the amount of byproduct organic acids during fermentation of an organism, based on expression of a heterologous malonyl-CoA synthetase. A  polyunsaturated fatty acid ["PUFA"]-producing strain of the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica was engineered to express a heterologous malonyl-CoA synthetase gene. The expression did not effect the production of PUFAs, but did result in a reduced amount of malonates when compared to the amount of malonates produced in the parental strain not expressing malonyl-CoA synthetase.

Abstract: A method of interleaving data for transmission is provided wherein first and second interleaving patterns for arranging data symbols in a source data stream into first and second transmitted data streams are selected. Each of said data symbols has at least one bit. The first and second transmitted data streams are transmitted substantially simultaneously on separate transmission channels to at least one receiver. The first and second patterns are used to transmit the data symbols in the source data stream in a different order on the respective transmission channels to maximize recovery of the source data stream when the transmission channels are blocked. The selected interleaving patterns can involve reordering the data symbols throughout the first and second transmitted data streams using different reordering criteria. The reordering criteria can vary on a frame-by-frame basis if the source data stream is time division multiplexed. Complementary data can be sent on respective transmission channels.

Title: Dev cycle engine
Inventor: DE VERSTERRE WILLIAM I
IPC: F02B19/06
Filed: 2010-06-17
Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for increasing the efficiency of internal combustion engines in which compression and combustion of an Air/Fuel mixture is carried out without a compression stroke as used in conventional internal combustion engines and expansion of the combusted mixture is performed to significantly increase the expansion ratio resulting in a significant increase in the amount of work extracted from the expansion of combusted mixture. Several embodiments are described. In the preferred embodiment externally compressed Air/Fuel Mixture is combusted in a variable volume combustion chamber and then expanded into a conventional cylinder displacing a power piston to produce rotation of a conventional crankshaft to drive a vehicle or other device. Separation of the variable volume combustion chamber from the conventional cylinder eliminates the conventional Otto Cycle compression stroke and provides an expansion ratio of the combusted Air/Fuel mixture which is substantially larger than the compression ratio in a conventional engine thereby substantially increasing the amount of useful work that can be extracted from the expansion of the combusted Air/Fuel mixture. Operation over the entire range of engine load requirements is accommodated by varying the compression of the Air/Fuel mixture and volume of the variable volume combustion chamber.
