Patent CA-2538468-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MITCHELL ROBERT
IPC: G09G5/377
Filed: 2006-03-02
Abstract: A system is disclosed in which a geographic area of interest can be selected, and information corresponding to the selected area can be downloaded and displayed by a user in an efficient and timely manner. The geographic area of interest may initially be selected by various input means such as a map, longitude/latitude coordinates, a global positioning system (GPS), and the like. Once the particular geographic area has been selected, geographic information corresponding to the selected area is downloaded to the user. The geographic information may include photographic images, radar, radio transmission, cell phone transmission, time sequenced images, ground moving target information, air moving target information, maritime moving target information, red or blue force identification and/or potential hazard areas information. The geographic information may be stored in a suitable data storage system such as a server. Alternatively, the geographic information may be generated real time and downloaded to the user. In one embodiment, the geographic information includes photographic images and a relatively low resolution image of a large geographic area is initially displayed to the user. The user can then select a limited region of the photographic image for closer viewing. The limited region of the photographic image may then be downloaded to the user in a higher resolution format, thereby reducing the amount of high resolution data that must be transmitted to the user. Various display devices may be used, such as personal data assistants (PDAs), laptop computers, desktop computers, vehicle-mounted computers, tablets, cell phones and the like. The display device may also be used as the input device to both select the geographic area of interest and display the photographic images or other geographic information of the selected area.

Title: Vacuum heat insulation tube
Inventor: HIROSE MASAYUKI
IPC: F16L59/06
Filed: 2005-10-28
Abstract: A vacuum heat insulation tube is a double structure tube having the inner tube and the outer tube. The gap between the inner tube and the outer tube is vacuum drawn. Between the inner tube and the outer tube is a gas adsorption member. The gas adsorption member has a getter material capable of adsorbing gas, a case for vacuum-sealing the getter material, and a breaking member deformed at a predetermined temperature to break the case. When the case is broken by the breaking member to be released from the sealed state, the getter material adsorbs gas that is present in the gap between inner tube and the outer tube. This enables to reduce vacuum processing time and to maintain a high degree of vacuum for a long period. A super-conductive cable having this vacuum heat insulation tube is also provided.
