Patent CA-2633028-A1 (CA)
Title: Device for converting thermal energy into electrical energy
Inventor: KRIISA TOOMAS
IPC: H02N3/00
Filed: 2006-12-12
Abstract: A current source and method of producing the current source are provided. The current source includes a metal source, a buffer layer, a filter and a collector. An electrical connection is provided to the metal layer and semiconductor layer and a magnetic field applier may be also provided. The source metal has localized states at a bottom of the conduction band and probability amplification. The interaction of the various layers produces a spontaneous current. The movement of charge across the current source produces a voltage, which rises until a balancing reverse current appears. If a load is connected to the current source, current flows through the load and power is dissipated. The energy for this comes from the thermal energy in the current source, and the device gets cooler.

Abstract: A computer-assisted inspection system including an integrated software suite provides vehicle inspection services for various clients, provides customized work flow based on different inspection clients, different types of inspections and other factors. Different clients may have different inspection needs. Some clients may not care about certain defects that other clients want to know about. The system can provide, on the inspection appliance, different rules that can be activated in response to which client the inspection is being provided for and/or other factors for inspection criteria, valuation pricing, rule-based validation and automatic grading. The resulting rule-driven user interface is thus customized ~ allowing the inspector to be more efficient in gathering the precise data desired at the time of data collection. Features include flat car part picking, highly client- custom inability, easy to use, ability to run in an environment where the inspector has no constant connectivity to the network (no guaranteed access to the Internet, full data replication, intermittent connectivity, sync back up), inspectors can be geographically separated (e.g., all over the country), system is installable over the Internet to provide efficient installation to far-flung install sites.

Title: Reduction of errors during computation of inverse discrete cosine transform
Inventor: REZNIK YURIY
IPC: G06F17/14
Filed: 2007-06-26
Abstract: Techniques are described to reduce rounding errors during computation of discrete cosine transform using fixed-point calculations. According to these techniques, an inverse discrete cosine transform a vector of coefficients is calculated using a series of butterfly structure operations on fixed-point numbers. Next, a midpoint bias value and a supplemental bias value are added to a DC coefficient of the matrix of scaled coefficients. Next, an inverse discrete cosine transform is applied to the resulting matrix of scaled coefficients. Values in the resulting matrix are then right-shifted in order to derive a matrix of pixel component values. As described herein, the addition of the supplemental bias value to the DC coefficient reduces rounding errors attributable to this right-shifting. As a result, a final version of a digital media file decompressed using these techniques may more closely resemble an original version of a digital media file.

Title: Methods and systems for retransmission of a broadcast signal using a proximity transmitting radiator
Inventor: STREETER ARIC JEROME
IPC: H04H40/00
Filed: 2007-08-10
Abstract: Systems and methods for wireless transmission of a modulated audio signal to a receiver using near-field or proximity transmission are presented. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, such systems and methods can receive a broadcast signal with a first receiver, generate an audio signal therefrom, and then use a modulation device to convert the audio signal into a modulated signal. The modulated signal can be retransmitted wirelessly via a radiating element. The radiating element can, for example, be placed in close proximity to a second receiver, thereby enhancing the wireless link from the modulation device to the second receiver, and allowing the radiating element to operate at a relatively low power. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the broadcast signal can be, for example, a satellite radio signal, and the retransmission can occur within a vehicle, the second receiver being, for example, an in-vehicle conventional AM/FM radio system. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the radiating element can be remote from the first receiver, and can be co-located or integrated with the modulating device in a remote location. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, a digital to analog converter can also be collocated, in-line with, or integrated with the modulating device and radiating element in the remote location.

A filtering and condensing apparatus of a suction type comprises a sludge tank for containing sludge to be filtered and condensed, and a filtering plate disposed to be in the sludge tank and extending in the vertical direction of the sludge tank. The filtering plate includes vertical extending convex and concave portions on its surface, and a filtering cloth in a bag form to house the supporting plate, whereby a filtering chamber is formed between the filtering cloth and the filtering plate and a main flow passage for the filtrate which vertically extends is formed between the inner surface of the filtering cloth and the concave portion of the supporting plate. The apparatus further includes a means for sucking the filtering cloth through the filtering chamber, a means for expanding the filtering cloth through the filtering chamber by feeding an air toward the filtering cloth via the filtering chamber, and a filtrate discharge tube one end of which is communicated with the filtering chamber. The lateral length of the filtering cloth is set to be longer than the lateral length of the supporting plate over its entire vertical direction, whereby, in a case where the sludge in the sludge tank is filtered and condensed under the predetermined negative pressure by the sucking means, a temporary sub-flow passage for the filtrate which is communicated with the filtering chamber and extends in the vertical direction of the filtering chamber is formed.

Abstract: A snowshoe (10) having a pivot axle (24) for pitch rotation of the footbed platform (22) relative to the snowshoe frame (12) is supported from the frame in a manner that provides for significant lateral flexing, i.e. pivoting on the roll axis, to accommodate use of snowshoes on side hill terrain. Instead of a relatively rigid support from the snowshoe frame, the footbed platform is supported by left and right tension bands (30) that are connected to the snowshoe frame and to' left and right ends of the transverse pivot rod (24) that provides pitch rotation. Preferably the connection to each end of the pivot rod is with a rotatable spindle (32) over which the tension band engages, such rollers (32) being connected at right angles to the two ends of the pivot rod. A rotation limiter (50) can be included to limit free rotation of the binding (18) in the pitch-direction to a selected arc. The footbed support system can be employed on any type of snowshoe, whether a tubular frame, non-tubular frame or molded composite snowshoe.
