Filed: 2006-10-20
Abstract: La présente invention concerne, par exemple, un système de batterie de piles à combustible qui peut réduire suffisamment la concentration en hydrogène dans le gaz d'échappement même lorsqu'une batterie de piles à combustible fonctionne avec une efficacité de génération de puissance faible. Une soupape de dérivation (B1) est formée entre un trajet d'alimentation en gaz oxydant (11) et un trajet d'écoulement de gaz d'échappement de cathode (12). Lorsque l'alimentation en gaz oxydant vers la cathode est insuffisante, de l'hydrogène de pompage est contenu dans le gaz d'échappement de cathode. En conséquence, dans ce cas, la concentration en hydrogène dans le gaz d'échappement est commandée en régulant l'ouverture de soupape de la soupape de dérivation (B1) afin de réguler le débit de l'air de dérivation.

Abstract: The Collapsible Bottle is a collapsible, disposable container (i.e., bottle) that is approved for contact with foods and beverages. The bottle comprises five main parts: top section, middle section, base section, plastic bladder, and twist/snap-on cap.     In a collapsible bottle, the assembly comprises multiple sections within sections. Each section is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom (by approximately 3 degrees).

Patent CA-2665111-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PEARSON MATT
IPC: G02B6/13
Filed: 2007-10-03
Abstract: The present document relates to a hybrid planar lightwave circuit (PLC) comprising a waveguide circuit chip (21) and a silicon reflective diffraction grating chip (29) which is mounted to the waveguide circuit chip (21), via a trench (27) formed in the waveguide circuit chip (21), wherein the waveguide circuit chip (21) comprises a high optical performance silica-on- silicon waveguide structure (22, 23, 24) formed on a silicon substrate (26) and wherein the silicon reflective diffraction grating chip (29) comprises a separate wafer grating substrate (31) and a reflective diffraction grating (28) formed therein. The reflective diffraction grating (28) is formed in the wafer grating substrate (31) using a highly accurate, deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) process thereby enabling a highly precise diffraction grating chip (29) to be fabricated. Consequently, the present hybrid planar lightwave circuit (PLC) includes a separately manufactured, highly precise, diffraction grating chip (29) and a separately manufactured, high quality, waveguide structure (22, 23, 24) onto which the diffraction grating chip (29) is mounted, thereby enabling both the use of new DRIE technologies in the processing of the diffraction grating chip (29) and the use of flip-chip bonding when performing the diffraction grating chip (29) mounting operation. The benefit of the disclosed diffraction grating-based, hybrid planar lightwave circuit (PLC) is that, not only is the device able to be fabricated with an equally complex configuration to that of prior art hybrid PLCs, the device is able to be fabricated more easily, using a technique (DRIE) that produces a very high-quality vertical etch with very low surface roughness. In particular, because the reflective diffraction grating chip (29) is fabricated separately, from silicon or like materials, the DRIE technique is able to be used, unlike prior art hybrid PLC fabrication methods which generally preclude the use of DRIE.

Abstract: A GPS receiver in one embodiment includes an antenna which receives GPS  signals at an RF frequency from in view satellites; a downconverter coupled to the antenna for reducing the RF frequency of the received GPS signals to an intermediate frequency (IF); a digitizer coupled to the downconverter and sampling the IF  GPS  signals at a predetermined rate to produce sampled IF GPS signals; a memory coupled to the digitizer storing the sampled IF GPS signals (a snapshot of GPS  signals); and a digital signal processor (DSP) coupled to the memory and operating under stored instructions thereby performing Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) operations on the sampled IF GPS signals to provide pseudorange information. These operations typically also include preprocessing and postprocessing of the GPS signals.  After a snapshot of data is taken, the receiver front end is powered down. The GPS  receiver in one embodiment also includes other power management features and includes, in another embodiment the capability to correct for errors in its local oscillator which is used to sample the GPS signals. The calculation speed of pseudoranges, and sensitivity of operation, is enhanced by the transmission of the Doppler frequency shifts of in view satellites to the receiver from an external source, such as a basestation in one embodiment of the invention.
