Patent CA-2715651-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DENNDORFER HEINZ
IPC: H01B19/00
Filed: 2009-02-12
Abstract: The materials of an insulator are greatly stressed by the inhomogeneous distribution of the electric field across the surface thereof. One of the causes is the design configuration of the insulator. The field strength changes particularly in the region of the fittings due to the transition from the insulating materials of the shields and the insulator core to a metal material, due to the transition from the ground potential at the cross arm, or to the conductor potential at that location, where the conductor cables are attached. A further cause is the deposit of dirt, which is stress affecting an insulator overall. The invention therefore provides that a field control layer (3) is disposed between the core (2) and the protective layer (4) in at least one section (15; 16) of the insulator (1; 10), said control layer comprising particles as the filler, which influence the electric field of the insulator.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining an optimal award schedule for satisfaction of energy efficiency and energy supply requirements for a portfolio of one or more buildings. A first auction is conducted so as to receive over a computer network, from one or more prospective efficiency suppliers, a plurality of first bids for the provision of energy efficiency, each such first bid specifying an amount of energy saved and a cost. A computer is used to determine a schedule of remaining portfolio energy supply requirements that would remain after the provision of energy efficiency from at least a plurality of the first bids. A  second auction is then run so as to receive over the computer network, from one or more prospective energy suppliers, one or more second bids for a plurality of the remaining portfolio energy supply requirements, each such second bid specifying a cost. A computer is then used to determine the lowest cost combination of a first bid and a second bid that satisfies the portfolio energy requirement.

Title: Carrier for protective goalie pads
Inventor: MCDONALD NOLAN
IPC: A45C3/00
Filed: 2010-12-16
Abstract: A carrier for goalie pads is described that allows a goaltender to carry their pads over their shoulder outside of a conventional hockey bag, without damaging the pads.  The carrier consists of two separate compartments that are joined together by a carrying strap, alleviating the stress that could be placed on the goalie pad straps that otherwise may be used for carrying the pads without the use of these bags. The compartments may be vented to allow faster drying time, and can be covered by a lid. The compartments may be secured further or tightened using Velcro.TM., plastic clips or snaps, allowing the carrier to form to the contour of the goalie pad. The carrier allows the goalie pads to be moved freely during transport, and facilitates their placement in a vehicle, while providing protection from damage.
