Patent CA-2575233-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VEEREPALLI SIVARAMAKRISHNA
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2005-07-29
Abstract: A communication session between a node seeking network access and a NAS  (Network Access Server) is established by having only few exchanges of messages. Upon detecting a physical link between the node and the NAS, the NAS  immediately sends an authentication request message to the node. In response, the node sends a request message which includes all parameters options, in addition to responding to the authentication request message, for link configuration and network access control. The NAS then picks and chooses the parameter options and sends back the selected options in a reply message to the node. If the selected options in the reply message meet a threshold, the node straightforwardly transmits user data for network access via the NAS.

Patent CA-2582793-A1 (CA)
Title: Novel residential gas tank water heater with incorporated endless hot water supply
Inventor: FERNANDES LUIZ CLAUDIO VIEIRA
IPC: F24H9/14
Filed: 2007-02-26
Abstract: This invention mainly consists of a water tank with a conventional cylindrical shape where water is heated in the traditional way using a Vertical Heating Pipe (VHP) (usually around 100 mm diameter) where combustion gases flow upwards from the burner located at the bottom of the tank. The main innovation is the addition of a surrounding pipe and skirt (SPS) around the hot areas of the system, i.e., the VHP and the bottom part of the water tank. The special feature of this SPS  is that it allows water to be heated in a vertical confined space so that it promotes a very ordered transfer of heat that allows water to be circulated in the tank from bottom to top without unnecessary mixing. This will allow that most of the heat provided by the burner will be used to heat just the water around the VHP.  This brings several advantages: virtually increase water tank capacity, eficiency and a capability of providing endless small flow supply of hot water. Additional features including valves and an hermetic water circuit can further improve these benefits.  Another innovative process is that the combustion air used for the burner, located at the bottom at the tank, comes from the top of the tank, through a separate tube and a small fan. This provides a safety measure for virtually eliminating the risk of vapour lock explosion issues. The heat transfer from hot gases to the VHP can also be increased due to the use of internal/ external fins. The finned VHP  further increases the water temperature to the upper part of the tank so that it can provide virtually endless hot water as long as the burner operates.

Patent CA-2585998-A1 (CA)
Title: Photocatalyst protection
Inventor: SCHMIDT WAYNE R
IPC: F24F8/30
Filed: 2005-11-22
Abstract: An air treatment system includes a filter and heating element, a plasma device, and a photocatalyst and UV light that cooperate to purify an air stream flowing through the air treatment system and protect the photocatalyst from passivating effects of certain contaminants. The air treatment system operates in two different modes. In the first mode, the air treatment system primarily draws air from and returns air to a space, and the heating element and plasma device are selectively shut off. In the second mode, the air treatment system regenerates the filter using the heating element to selectively heat the filter and release adsorbed contaminants. The plasma device is selectively turned on and chemically transforms the released contaminants into solid contaminant products. The solid contaminant products are deposited on a biased electrode of the plasma device. The UV light is turned off to ensure that the photocatalyst is inoperable during the release and transformation of the contaminants. Once deposited, the essentially immobile and inert solid contaminant products are unlikely to damage the photocatalyst.

IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2005-12-29
Abstract: A search query is submitted to an information source associated with a category of the query. The category of the query is indicated by a query ontology that relates queries to categories. Expert domains for a query category, representing domains from which a high percentage of search results for queries of the query category are retrieved, may be established using a base statistical model. Search results are assigned scores and may be sorted or filtered based on the assigned scores. The assigned score is based on a presence, position, and form of the query within a surrogate representation of the search result. In a filtering example, pairs of search results may be examined to identify significant drops in quality (e.g., disparate assigned scores) between the search results. Search results with scores that are lower than a lower ranked search result of the pair of search results may be eliminated.
