Patent CA-2573712-C (CA)
Inventor: FENTON MARCUS BRIAN MAYHALL
IPC: F04F5/46
Filed: 2005-07-29
Granted: 2013-04-09
Abstract: A fluid mover (1) includes a hollow body (2) provided with a straight-through passage (3) of substantially constant cross section with an inlet end (4) an outlet end (5) for the entry and discharge respectively of a working fluid. A  nozzle (16) substantially circumscribes and opens into the passage (3) intermediate the inlet (4) and outlet (5) ends. An inlet (10) communicates with the nozzle (16) for the introduction of a transport fluid and a mixing chamber (3A) is formed within the passage (3) downstream of the nozzle (16).  The nozzle internal geometry and the bore profile immediately upstream of the nozzle exit are disposed and configured to optimise the energy transfer between the transport fluid and working fluid. In use, through the introduction of transport fluid, the working fluid or fluids are atomised to form a dispersed vapour/droplet flow regime with locally supersonic flow conditions within a pseudo-vena contracta, resulting in the creation of a supersonic condensation shock wave (17) within the downstream mixing chamber (3A) by the condensation of the transport fluid. Methods of moving and processing fluids using the fluid mover are also disclosed.

Title: Method and apparatus for scaling the average current supply to light-emitting elements
Inventor: JUNGWIRTH PAUL
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2005-08-02
Granted: 2013-12-10
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for scaling the average drive current supplied to a light-emitting element or string thereof by coupling a scaling signal to an original control signal thereby generating an effective control signal for control of the light-emitting element(s). The scaling signal can be a modulated signal, for example a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal, Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) signal, or other signal and modifies the original control signal to produce an effective control signal. The effective control signal is subsequently used to control the supply of power to the light-emitting element(s) from a power source via a switching device.  The effective control signal essentially modifies the ON time of the light-emitting element(s), thereby modifying the average drive current passing through the light-emitting element(s). The scaling signal is coupled to the original control signal by a coupling mechanism, thereby enabling the modification of the original control signal by the scaling signal forming the effective control signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for establishing communication relations (stream1, stream2, stream3) via a communication medium, att least one communication relation (stream1, stream2) being established via said communication medium. According to the invention, information on queries for establishing one respective communication relation (stream1, stream2, stream3) is recorded, and, depending on the recorded information, at least one of the already established communication relations (stream1, stream2) is terminated or maintained. The information recorded can be e.g. the query times (ti), the interval lapsed between two queries being used to infer the type of communication relation (stream1, stream2, stream3). According to the invention it is for example possible for short intervals to infer queries for IP-TV data streams and previously established communication relations (stream1, stream2) are directly terminated in order to save bandwidth.
