Patent CA-2826562-A1 (CA)
Title: Coated article including low-emissivity coating, insulating glass unit including coated article, and/or methods of making the same
Inventor: FRANK MARCUS
IPC: C03C17/36
Filed: 2012-02-16
Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to a coated article including at least one infrared (IR) reflecting layer of a material such as silver or the like in a low-E coating, and methods of making the same. In certain cases, at least one layer of the coating is of or includes nickel and/or titanium (e.g., NixTiyOz). The provision of a layer including nickel titanium and/or an oxide thereof may permit a layer to be used that has good adhesion to the IR reflecting layer, and reduced absorption of visible light (resulting in a coated article with a higher visible transmission). When a layer including nickel titanium oxide is provided directly over and/or under the IR reflecting layer (e.g., as a barrier layer), this may result in improved chemical and mechanical durability. Thus, visible transmission may be improved if desired, without compromising durability; or, durability may simply be increased.

Title: Method to separate compressional and shear waves during seismic monitoring by utilizing linear and rotational multi-component sensors in arrays of shallow monitoring wells
Inventor: BRUNE ROBERT H
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2012-03-21
Abstract: The present invention provides a technique to separate compressional seismic waves from shear seismic waves and to determine their direction of propagation to enhance the seismic monitoring oil and gas reservoirs and the seismic monitoring of hydrofracturing in oil and gas wells. The invention utilizes various combinations of multi-component linear seismic sensors, multi-component rotational seismic sensors, and pressure sensors. Sensors are jointly deployed in arrays of shallow monitoring wells to avoid the complicating effects of the free surface of the earth. The emplacement of sensors in the shallow monitoring wells may be permanent. The method has a wide range of application in oil and gas exploration and production. This abstract is not intended to be used to interpret or limit the claims of this invention.

Patent CA-2832431-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KO CHING-WHAN
IPC: C10K1/02
Filed: 2012-04-04
Abstract: A process is provided for producing syngas that is effective for use in downstream processes. The process for producing syngas includes operating a gasification apparatus in a start-up mode until the gasification apparatus and equipment downstream of the gasification apparatus are adequately warmed up to a first target temperature. Upon reaching a first target temperature, the process is then operated in a production mode to produce a second syngas with a higher CO/CO2 molar ratio. Operation in a start-up mode until reaching a first target temperature, provides a process that is effective for reducing fouling in downstream equipment and for providing a second syngas can be more effectively cooled and cleaned.

Abstract: A contact wetting circuit 100 is disclosed for supplying wetting current to sense the state of dry contacts of a switch SW1 setting for an electronic device 10. The contact wetting circuit includes an RC circuit 110 having a resistor R1 and a capacitor Cl , and a controller 120 connected to a power supply 130 of the device. The controller supplies a first voltage to the RC circuit to produce a charging current having an average current and/or a peak current below the wetting current parameter of the dry contacts. The charging current is used to charge the capacitor C 1 during the first time period. The controller stops the supply of the first voltage to the RC circuit after sufficient charging to allow the charged capacitor C1 to supply a second voltage, across the switch SW1, to produce a wetting current. Thereafter, the controller polls and senses the state of the switch SW1, and performs certain operations accordingly.
