Title: Temperature control system for a liquid
Inventor: WILDER HAIM
IPC: F25B21/02
Filed: 2010-09-07
Abstract: A temperature control system (400) for a liquid comprises two sets of temperature control elements oppositely disposed to one another and define between them a temperature control zone. A conduit system within the temperature control zone defines a liquid flow path (300, 302) that is configured to have one or more first segments in proximity to and in heat-conducting association with one of the two sets and one or more second segments in proximity to and in heat-conducting association with the other of the two sets. The temperature control system (400) may be used as a liquid cooling or heating module in a cold liquid dispensing device or system, such as a drinking water or other beverage dispensing device.
Patent CA-2771905-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NIGHTER KEVIN
IPC: H04W4/14
Filed: 2012-03-20
Abstract: A train equipped with an onboard system for determining its position and a track database for determining the positions of upcoming grade crossings sends activate after expiration messages to control wayside warning systems at the crossings to achieve a constant warning time while maintaining a safety margin that ensures the train can be stopped if the wayside systems do not respond correctly to the activate after expiration messages. The system may be used in place of existing track-based crossing warning system control circuits. Communications between the train may be radio-based, and may be direct between the train and wayside devices or may be routed through a central station, which may act as a relay or maintain a database. The train may control multiple crossings at one time, thereby eliminating the need for downstream adjacent crossing control.

Title: Biodegradable composite barrier film
Inventor: LEE MARK
IPC: B32B3/26
Filed: 2010-09-30
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a multilayer film having, as its main component, a hydroxy acid polymer with improved gas barrier and optional heat sealability. The oriented film of predominately hydroxy acid polymer having controlled shrink can be produced by melting and coextruding a hydroxy acid polymer with a much thinner layer of an amorphous aromatic copolyester to form a multilayer film that is quench cooled, then biaxially stretched at a process temperature above the glass transition and below the cold crystallization temperature of the hydroxy acid polymer. A heat-setting treatment with a controlled relaxation of the film above the hydroxy acid polymer glass transition temperature and below its melt temperature may be used to control shrinkage. The films thus obtained are vacuum metallized on the aromatic copolyester surface to produce environmentally friendly packaging from predominately renewable resources having improved gas barrier properties.

Abstract: A sphygmomanometer with a cuff for use on a patient wrist, upper or lower arm incorporates an. inflatable bladder and a support structure. The cuff is subdivided two two sections. The first section holds the bladder against an arterial side of the limb, while the second section abuts a non-arferial side of the limb and is mechanically coupled, to the support structure. When the cuff is attached to the patient limb, the bladder is positioned to avoid receiving a gravitational force caused by the weight of the limb. Rather, the gravitational force is absorbed by the support structure in an inferior area of the cuff removed from the bladder.

IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 2011-01-16
Abstract: Techniques and tools for high dynamic range (HDR) image rendering and generation. An HDR image generating system performs motion analysis on a set of lower dynamic range (LDR) images and derives relative exposure levels for the images based on information obtained in the motion analysis. These relative exposure levels are used when integrating the LDR images to form an HDR image. An HDR image rendering system tone maps sample values in an HDR image to a respective lower dynamic range value, and calculates local contrast values. Residual signals are derived based on local contrast, and sample values for an LDR image are calculated based on the tone-mapped sample values and the residual signals. User preference information can be used during various stages of HDR image generation or rendering.
