Patent CA-2544666-A1 (CA)
Title: Improved temperature control
Inventor: LINEHAN THOMAS
IPC: B29C45/78
Filed: 2004-11-12
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for controlling temperature of a plant comprising plural temperature control zones, wherein an effective control parameter for a first zone for which a signal representing measured temperature is available is produced according to an algorithm relating measured temperature, a desired temperature and a control parameter associated with a device affecting temperature in the first temperature control zone, the effective control parameter is summed with an offset value representing a proportional offset of the effective control parameter of a second temperature control zone relative to the effective control parameter of the first temperature control zone and the result is applied to control a device affecting temperature in the second temperature control zone. Advantageously, the offset value comprises a fixed amount and a variable amount, the variable amount accounting for dynamic differences in temperature control characteristics of the first and second temperature control zones.

Patent CA-2550740-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KLAHN KENNETH FRITZ
IPC: B60P3/41
Filed: 2006-06-22
Abstract: Improved third, tag, axle for a standard two-axle log-carrying trailer to permit carrying additional load. The inventive third axle assembly is pivotally linked directly to the bunk of a standard log trailer bogie by two, laterally-spaced hitch assemblies that permit vertical motion of the third axle, but not lateral movement. The inventive third axle assembly increases the payload capacity of the trailer with better maneuverability. A pivoting cone support and centering assembly is used to insure proper alignment of the tag axle during transport and when first unloaded. By following the bunk, the inventive axle more closely follows the tractor front wheel path during turns, rather than worsening the cut-across effect of ordinary turn geometry. That is, the inventive tag axle tracks more nearly in the proper lane, tending significantly less to cut across inside the tractor turn in both left and right turns, and thus is a safer rig.

Title: Rope-on-spool uncoiler and comminuter system
Inventor: TAVARES BRUCE ANTHONY
IPC: A61F2/34
Filed: 2004-02-24
Abstract: Rope made of cellulose fibers, the polymeric chemical structure of which fibers has not been modified (referred to as "raw" cellulose fibers), are subjected to intense electron beam irradiation insufficient to degrade their chemical structure but sufficient to modify their physical structure so as to allow them to be comminuted into fragments having a length no more than 6.35 mm (0.25"), preferably less than 3.175 mm (0.125"), and preferably 50% by weight of the fibers have a length less than 70~m. Such fragments of fibers are found to be particularly susceptible to being micronized in a micronizer into elongated granular fragments smaller than about 20~m at an economical production rate in excess of 22.7 Kg/hr (50 lb/hr) which was not possible when the micronizer was fed with naturally occurring fibers.
Patent CA-2553546-A1 (CA)
Title: Three-dimensional animation of soft tissue of characters using controls associated with a surface mesh
Inventor: ISNER MICHAEL
IPC: G06T13/40
Filed: 2006-07-26
Abstract: A face, as well as any other soft tissue of a character, can be animated much in the same way that a skeleton is animated by creating a soft tissue solver attached to the surface mesh. In particular, deformation objects are associated with regions of the surface mesh. The deformation objects deform the mesh according to deformation operators in response to a change in a control object. This soft tissue solver can be generated automatically given a set of salient points specified on an input mesh and a format file for the class of objects of which the input mesh is an example. The format file specifies what the salient points are, and the relative placement of the deformation objects and control objects as functions of the salient points. Specific deformation operators can be defined and associated, through the format file, with the deformation objects and control objects. The format file for a class of objects, such as for human and humanoid heads, and related operators can be determined based on experimentation and observation of the object being modeled. Through such a soft tissue solver, the behavior of the deformation of the surface mesh is quantified and controlled by direct manipulation of the points on the mesh. Thus, the surface of the object can be animated in a manner similar to how animation of a skeleton is defined using inverse kinematics. Because the surface of the object is directly related to its appearance or aesthetics, this animation capability is referred to herein as "quantitative aesthetics."

Title: Integrated optical multiplexer and demultiplexer for wavelength division transmission of information
Inventor: ZHOU ZHIPING JAMES
IPC: H04J14/02
Filed: 2005-01-26
Abstract: An integrated optical multiplexer and/or demultiplexer is provided for on-chip optical interconnection between electronic components on an integrated circuit chip and between chips, and for high density telecommunications. The multiplexer and/or demultiplexer includes an integrated circuit substrate formed with an array of photo detectors (for the demultiplexer) or photo emitters (for the multiplexer). Conditioning electronics is formed on the data for optical transmission in the case of the multiplexer or for, conditioning optical signals into electronic data in the case of the demultiplexer. A first layer of optically transparent material is formed on the substrate overlying the detectors and/or emitters and a second layer of optically transparent material is formed on the first layer and functions as an optical waveguide. A  binary blazed grating is formed at the interface of the wavelength optical signals are modulated with data and emitted by the photo emitters. The discrete wavelengths are intercepted by the binary blazed grating overlying the emitters and multiplexed into a polychromatic beam for transmission through the waveguide. At the demultiplex, the discrete wavelengths are separated by the binary blazed grating and directed to corresponding ones of the photo detectors. The conditioning electronics coupled to the photo detectors receives the output of the photo detectors, demodulates the output to extract the data, and formats the data for communication with electronic components on the integrated circuit.

Title: Flow control apparatus and method for fuel cell flow fields
Inventor: WILKINSON DAVID PENTREATH
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2005-06-10
Abstract: An adjustable flow field and flow regulation method for an electrochemical device such as a fuel cell is described. The flow field preferably includes a plurality of flow paths between an inlet and an outlet and a plurality of microvalves for regulating fluid flow through the flow paths in response to changes in the operating states of the fuel cell, such as changes in power output or temperature. For example, adjustment of the microvalves may restrict the number of flow paths through which fluid is flowing to alter the effective active area and current density of the flow field. The valves may be selectively opened or closed, either entirely or partially, to maintain a minimum pressure drop between the inlet and outlet. Alternatively or additionally, adjustment of the valves may alter the direction of fluid flow through at least some of the flow paths. The invention improves the stability of the fuel cell in low power and low reactant stoichiometry operating states without significantly increasing the complexity of the system or increasing parasitic loads. For example, the invention may improve water management in low power modes and avoid related performance problems such as low current density failures and voltage oscillations. The invention may also help reduce the cost and complexity of the system power electronics.
