Patent CA-2372530-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FOUQUET CHRISTOPHE
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2002-02-18
Abstract: Users desire to normalize raw data from meter load profile acquisition systems against some attributes (i.e., properties) of a facility, such as the number of employees. The facility area, and the number of products produced would be additional potential attributes for consideration. Normalization involves dividing a load profile channel such as kilowatt hours by a determined facility attribute to obtain a new data set, for example, such as "kWh/Employee." The present modelization allows a user to define a set of attributes and manage their value over time to refine the facility model. Keeping track of the attributes over time provides increased accuracy in the resulting data. The model is managed by a user interface which can be refined over time as the facility evolves. Data comprising sets of attributes over time may persist within the system for later retrieval.

Title: Multi-layer electrochemical cell devices
Inventor: GOZDZ ANTONI S
IPC: H01M50/409
Filed: 2000-09-15
Abstract: A laminated multi-layer electrochemical cell device structure comprising positive and negative electrode layer members of polymeric matrix composition having a microporous polyolefin membrane separator member interposed therebetween wherein the separator membrane includes a polymer coating layer.  The separator is further treated to provide a deposited coating of a primary plasticizer for the polymer coating layer. The device electrode and separator members are then assembled and laminated at a compressive force and temperature at which the plasticizer film softens the polymer coating of the separator member sufficiently to establish a strong interfacial bond with the matrix polymers of the electrode members and thereby form a laminated unitary cell structure. In another embodiment, the primary plasticizer comprises a component of the electrode polymeric matrix compositions. In either embodiment, the plasticizer subsequently volatilizes from the structure to further strengthen the interfacial bond, yet its temporary presence in the interfacial region of the multi-layer cell structure enables lamination of the cell members at a temperature below the pore-collapse temperature of the separator membrane, thereby preserving the thermal shut-down protection feature of the microporous separator.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour séparer un produit chimique hydrocarboné hydrophobe d'une émulsion aqueuse et pour recycler la plus grande partie de l'eau, des co-solvants, des sels et de l'émulsifiant. Un émulsifiant préféré est un sel fait d'acide carboxylique, d'acide phosphorique ou d'acide sulfonique contenant une amine dans la portion hydrophobe de l'émulsifiant, ladite amine étant apte à la protonation pour modifier (augmenter) la solubilité dans l'eau de l'ensemble de la molécule de l'émulsifiant. Ledit procédé est utile dans la décontamination des sols par extraction, car il facilite le recyclage de l'eau et de l'émulsifiant, réduisant ainsi sensiblement les quantités d'eau et d'émulsifiant utilisées lors de la décontamination d'un site. L'invention concerne également un procédé pour décontaminer un sol en appliquant le procédé susmentionné.

Filed: 2001-03-29
Abstract: In a remote unit (39) of a wireless communication system, the speed of acquisition, or reacquisition, of a pilot signal by a search engine (47) is increased. PN space is divided into segments and a coarse search of each segment is performed using a set of "fast" search parameters. A set of peak signal strengths, along with their corresponding PN offsets, is saved to memory (49) for each segment of PN space. Following the search of all segments of PN space, the peak signal strengths which were saved during the coarse acquisition are evaluated by a controller (50). Coarse acquisition search results are used by the remote unit (39) to determine fine search window parameters for subsequent searches performed by the remote unit (39) search engine (44). The fine search parameters concentrate searching efforts of the remote unit (39) search engine (44) on portions of PN space most likely to contain a viable base station pilot signal.

Title: Thermal imaging fitting system
Inventor: MCNAMARA PATRICK
IPC: A43D1/02
Filed: 2002-11-13
Abstract: A system and method for fitting footwear and footwear inserts provides a removable insert which measures the foot by thermal imaging. The insert is provided with a thermally sensitive layer, for example a thermochromic material having a color transition interval within the range between room temperature and body temperature, that thus reacts to the heat transferred from portions of the foot in contact with the insert and temporarily changes color. The insert retains an image of the footprint for a short interval after contact with the foot, and can be removed from the footwear to examine the position and size of the foot relative to the footwear insole (and thus relative to the footwear) when the footwear is actually worn. For inserts which are purchased separately for cushioning, odor-reduction etc., the footprint image can be used as a guide to cut the footwear insert to follow the shape of an individual's foot.
