Patent CA-2106568-A1 (CA)
Title: Frequency sharing in multiple radiotelephone systems
Inventor: D AVELLO ROBERT F
IPC: H04B15/00
Filed: 1992-12-31
Abstract: A portable radiotelephone (101) communicates with both a cordless base station (115) servicing a local coverage area and a cellular base station (105) servicing a wide coverage area over cellular frequency channels. Each of the portable radiotelephone (101) and the cordless base station (115) scans the available channels based upon a measure of interference or a type of service on the cellular frequency channels to generate separate priority lists for the cellular frequency channels. Each of the portable radiotelephone (101) and the cordless base station (115) ranks the available channels in its own priority list from best to worst. The priority lists from each of the portable radiotelephone (101) and the cordless base station (115) are combined in the portable radiotelephone (101) or the cordless base station (115) to form a master priority list. The clearest available channel from the master priority list is assigned to the portable radiotelephone (101) and the cordless base station (115) for communicating in the cordless telephone system. Thus, interference to and from the cellular system and other users of the cellular frequencies is minimized and the need for frequency planning is eliminated.

Patent CA-2114350-A1 (CA)
Title: Compost process air recirculation and reuse
IPC: C05F17/00
Filed: 1994-01-27
Abstract: This patent application submitted by Savoy Enterprises Ltd. pertains to the composting of municipal solid waste and/or biosolids (sewage sludges) and the related removal of noxious or offensive odors, if they exist, from the composting process air leaving or being expelled from the material being composted.   Aerated Static Pile, Agitated Bin or Bay (hereinafter referred to as Bay) or Aerated Windrow Composting noxious or offensive odors in the air emissions from the composting process are controlled by using some of the material being composted as a biofilter for control of odor from the compost process air that is being recirculated through the composting material. Combining composting and biofiltration of recirculated process air reduces the amount of fresh process or make-up air required from the atmosphere outside of the composting structure and correspondingly the amount of air leaving the composting facility that might require external processing for odor reduction.   The total composting area is physically separated into zones to minimize the comingling and mixing of the air in the building or structure in which the material to be composted is placed. The air above the separated bays with the fresh or new material to be composted is collected and transported via ducts or piping to the separated bays that contain material that is approaching the advanced stages of composting in the structure and used as the process air supply in these advanced stage composting areas The amount of air to be recirculated through the composting material within the composting building or structure could vary between 90+ percent to 10-percent of the total process air requirements, depending on the characteristics of the material to be composted and the period of time established for composting at separate facilities, thereby reducing the amount of fresh make-up air by 90+ to 10- percent and correspondingly reducing the amount of air that might require external odor control processing.
Patent CA-2121090-A1 (CA)
Title: Microprocessor-controlled strobe light
Inventor: KOSICH JOSEPH
IPC: H05B41/34
Filed: 1994-04-12
Abstract: A flash tube power circuit includes a switch which in a first position regulates the storage over time of energy in a first energy storage device and in a second position allows the transfer of energy from the first energy storage device to a second energy storage device. A microcontroller receives the input voltage and then samples and digitizes it for input into a lookup table. The microcontroller repeatedly cycles the switch between flashes by controlling the time the switch is in its first position. The lookup table output provides the signal for determining the time the switch remains in its first position. The time interval from the last flash controls the time the switch is in its second position. The cycling of the switch is controlled accordingly such that the second energy storage device acquires the predetermined amount of energy for the flash just as the triggering circuit is initiated by the microcontroller. Moreover, the microcontroller controls the switch in a way such that the time the switch is in its first position is maximized and the time the switch is in its second position is generally decreased relative to the time since the last flash. This helps to minimize the peak current drawn by the first energy storage device. In addition, the strobe light circuit is capable of determining if the input voltage is D.C. or is full wave rectified and controls the switch accordingly.

Patent CA-2147988-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GLOCKEMANN RALPH
IPC: F03C99/00
Filed: 1993-10-22
Abstract: An engine (1) for driving a piston arrangement (13, 14, 15) for pumping water from an inlet (26) to an outlet (27) at a high-er level. The engine (1) includes a hollow housing (2) having an inlet (3) and an outlet (4) between which a liquid passes, the hous-ing (2) at least partly enclosing a chamber (7) through which the liquid flows from the inlet (3) to the outlet (4). A movable wall (6) is mounted in the housing (2) and partly defines the chamber (7). A valve (16) is provided to open and close the outlet (4) so that, when it closes, liquid in the chamber (7) is suddenly decelerated, producing an increase in pressure in the chamber to force the wall (6) to move in a direction so as to increase the volume of the chamber (7). After the initial increase in pressure, the water relaxes and the pressure decreases to such an extent that a spring (19) opens the valve (16) and a spring (10) returns the wall (6) to the position of decreased volume of the chamber (7). Thus, the wall (6) is caused to reciprocate under the influence of the pressure of the liquid increasing and decreasing as the valve (16) is opened and shut.
