Patent CA-2700624-A1 (CA)
Title: Hydroelectric pumped-storage
Inventor: RILEY WILLIAM
IPC: H02J15/00
Filed: 2008-08-18
Abstract: Hydroelectric pumped-storage includes monitoring electrical demand on a system over time. If the monitored demand exceeds a predetermined first value, fluid is allowed to flow substantially under the influence of gravity from a first aquifer to a second aquifer. Kinetic energy from the flowing fluid is converted into electrical energy. If the monitored demand drops below a predetermined second value, fluid from the second aquifer is moved to the first aquifer.

Title: Process for representing and handling multigraphs based on the use of bitmaps
Inventor: LARRIBA PEY JOSEP LLUIS
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2009-07-17
Abstract: The present invention establishes a process for, given a logical representation of data in network or multigraph form, creating a set of structures which allow the efficient storage thereof in a digital system and the subsequent handling thereof.  The multigraph is represented using bitmaps with element counters and mappings between values and organized bitmaps for the purpose of facilitating the handling of said multigraphs. The bits in the bitmaps represent two essential aspects of the multigraph:  1) indexing of all the objects of the multigraph as a function of their identifiers and 2) connectivity between objects of the multigraph, whether they are vertices or edges. Mappings allow, given a value, accessing the objects of the multigraph which contain such value. Multigraph operations are solved by accessing the mappings and applying logical operations on the bitmaps. This way of representing a graph allows efficiently performing graph operations such as: inserting a vertex or an edge, inserting an attribute, acquiring the incoming and outgoing edges of an attribute, etc.

Abstract: A horizontal-axis wind turbine is described, the wind turbine of a rotor- support de-sign, wherein the structural load of the wind turbine rotor is carried by the wind tur-bine tower itself. The turbine uses a composite shaft to transfer torque from the wind turbine rotor to the generator, the shaft having high torsional strength but being flexi-ble in bending. This prevents the transmission of bending moments from the rotor hub to the generator system. Accordingly, the components of the turbine can be rigidly mounted to the turbine main frame, removing the need for vibration damping ele-ments. The result is a wind turbine of reduced weight, which can be modelled and de-signed for improved efficiency and performance. Furthermore, as the turbine compo-nents do not have to be load-balanced, the turbine can be of a modular construction for relatively easy servicing and/or upgrading.

Abstract: A process for treating produced water to generate high pressure steam.  Produced water from heavy oil recovery operations is treated by first removing oil and grease. Pretreated produced water is then fed to an evaporator. Up to 95%  or more of the pretreated produced water stream is evaporated to produce (1) a distillate having a trace amount of residual solutes therein, and (2) evaporator blowdown containing substantially all solutes from the produced water feed.  The distillate may be directly used, or polished to remove the trace residual solutes before being fed to a steam generator. Steam generation in a packaged boiler, such as a water tube boiler having a steam drum and a mud drum with water cooled combustion chamber walls, produces 100% quality high pressure steam for down-hole use.
