Patent CA-2610061-A1 (CA)
Title: Semiconductor memory device
Inventor: OTSUKA EITARO
IPC: G11C16/02
Filed: 2006-05-26
Abstract: When the value of an input write data is equal to or greater than the value of existing data in a memory array (100), a semiconductor storage apparatus (10) permits a writing of th input write data into the memory array (100).  Specifically, an increment controller (150) reads the existing data from the memory array (100) and compares it with the write data latched in an 8-bit latch register (170). When the value of the write data is equal to or greater than the value of the existing data, the increment controller (150) outputs a write permission signal (WEN1) to a write/read controller (140), thereby executing the writing of the write data, which is latched in the 8-bit latch register (170), into the memory array (100).

Title: Valve testing device having integrated purge circuit and method of valve testing
Inventor: BAIRD MICHAEL
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 2006-07-31
Abstract: A valve testing device and method for determining whether a fluid control valve, such as an automatic transmission valve, is operating acceptably. The device and method of the present invention passes pressurized fluid through the valve and to a flow measuring means where the flow rate of fluid through the valve can be measured. Because contamination within such a valve can contribute to unacceptable flow rate measurements, the device and method of the present invention can also pass purge fluid through the valve in a direction that is opposite to the normal flow of working fluid through the valve.

Patent CA-2633250-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CARVALLO RAQUEL
IPC: F25B45/00
Filed: 2006-12-13
Abstract: A self-heating chemical system using one or more primary components for exothermic reactions (such as calcium oxide), one or more porous components that can serve as a heat sink and conductor of heat as well as under going chemical transformations that release heat (zeolite), a weak acid (citric acid) for sustained modulation of temperature and pH. Exothermic reactions, mixing of some chemicals, sorption of certain chemicals, phase changes in chemicals, and dissolution of some chemicals in solvents release heat during these operations. The rate of heat generation coupled with mass and energy transfer rates to or from system(s) allows modulation of the temperature of systems. The modulation can be further enhanced by controlled release and availability of some of the components. This method provides with a class of self-heating product applications and focuses on the modulation of temperature through sequestering of reactions with different rates, heat release through dissolution, heat release through mixing, heat release through sorption, heat release through phase change as well as controlling mass and heat transfer rates.
