Patent CA-2780291-A1 (CA)
Title: Metal ink compositions, conductive patterns, methods, and devices
Inventor: MCCULLOUGH RICHARD D
IPC: C23C18/08
Filed: 2010-11-08
Abstract: Metal complexes adapted to form conductive metal films and lines upon deposition and treatment. The metal complex can be a covalent complex and can comprise a first and second ligand. Low temperature treatment can be used to convert the complex to a metal. The metal films and lines can have low resistivity and work function similar to pure metal. Coinage metals can be used (e.g., Ag, Au, Cu). The ligands can be dative bonding ligands including amines, unsymmetrical amines, and carboxylate ligands. Sulfur complexes can be used. Carboxylate ligands can be used. The complexes can have a high concentration of metal and can be soluble in aromatic hydrocarbon solvent. The ligands can be adapted to volatilize well. Inkjet printing can be carried out. High yields of metal can be achieve with high conductivity.
Patent CA-2781057-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAWSON GREGORY MARK
IPC: A47C1/031
Filed: 2011-01-06
Abstract: Rocker-recliner-style and glider-recliner-style seating units that include linkage mechanisms for adjusting the respective seating units between closed, extended, and reclined positions are provided. The seating units are each powered by a linear actuator that facilitates automated adjustment of the respective linkage mechanisms. This adjustment of the linear actuator is sequenced into a first phase and a second phase. A stroke of the linear actuator in the first phase acts to adjust a linkage mechanism between the closed and extended positions by extending or retracting ottoman(s) attached to a footrest assembly. A stroke in the second phase acts to adjust a linkage mechanism between the extended and reclined positions by translating a seat-mounting plate forward or rearward at a consistent inclination angle while, concurrently, tilting a back-mounting link. Accordingly, the phase sequencing ensures that each linkage mechanism commences adjustment within the second phase only once the first-phase adjustment is substantially complete.

Title: Cold cathode lighting device as fluorescent tube replacement
Inventor: HERRING RICHARD N
IPC: H01J61/02
Filed: 2010-10-27
Abstract: A cold cathode lighting device is a fluorescent tube replacement and has a transparent tube, a cold cathode formed as a wire or rod with an electron emissive surface and passing through a center of the transparent tube. An extraction grid is formed around and spaced apart from the cold cathode and has an external diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the transparent tube. A phosphor material and a conductive material form an anode on an inner surface of the transparent tube. A vacuum is maintained within the transparent tube and a power conversion circuit in an end unit converts electrical power into a first potential applied to the cold cathode, a second potential applied to the extraction grid and a third potential applied to the anode. Electrons emitted from the cold cathode accelerate towards the anode and light is emitted from the fluorescent tube replacement light emitting device.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for fluidly communicating between conduit strings and wells through crossovers forming a subterranean manifold string, usable for pressure contained underground hydrocarbon operations, storage and solution mining. Concentric conduits enable fluid communication with one or more subterranean regions through an innermost passageway usable for communicating fluids and devices engagable with a receptacle of the manifold. A wall of the manifold string and/or a selectively placed fluid control device diverts fluid mixture flow streams from one passageway to another radially disposed inward or outward passageway to selectively control pressurized fluid communication, thereby forming a plurality of pressure barriers. The pressure barriers can be used to selectively communicate fluid mixtures to and from a reservoir for hydrocarbon operations, solution mining, and/or control of a storage cushion space during such operations.
