Patent CA-2676739-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STOCKER R PAUL
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2008-01-25
Abstract: A communication protocol for a lighting control system having a plurality of control devices coupled to a communication link uses a polling technique to coordinate the transmission of digital messages between the control devices. When the control devices are powered up, one of the control devices is established as a "master" device. During normal operation, the master device transmits a standard poll message to each of the control devices in succession using a unique semi-permanent Poll ID for each of the control devices. The master device periodically transmits a Poll-ID-Request poll message to the control devices allow those devices that do not have a Poll ID to request a Poll ID. If a control device determines either that the master device is not transmitting poll messages to it, or that another control device has the same Poll ID, the control device drops its Poll ID and acquires another Poll ID.

Abstract: An extension ladder stabilizer that is comprised of two wooden planks, of a predetermined size and form, which are used as a main support structure in an "A--framed" style set-up, when viewed from the front. The supports are swivelly mounted upon rotatable hinge brackets that are then secured to the ladder outer frame rails via a predetermined hollow rung. The supports are also restrained from lateral movement, at the ground level, thru a desired angle that is perpendicular to the ground and fixed via the usage of two bungee cords. A set of leveling and angle of incline "indicators"  are provided to help align the initial ladder placement, before assembly set up. The ensuing set-up, when correctly propped against a vertical surface, will conceivably remain perpendicularly balanced throughout most lateral motion near the ladder peak.  The entire assembly can be attached without drilling any bolt holes into the ladder frame.

Title: Combustion engine exhaust energy recovery system
Inventor: GOETZ JOSEPH JAMES
IPC: F02B65/00
Filed: 2010-04-30
Abstract: This invention maximizes the energy potential for fossil fuel burning combustion engines. It does this by recovering the heat from the exhaust and turning it into mechanical or electrical energy through the use of steam technology. In addition, the residual heat can be recovered for hot water applications. This invention merges the 120 odd years of combustion engine technology (fossil fuelled, hydrogen, piston and/or gas turbine) with the 400 years of steam technology (steam turbine and steam engine).   Passing the engine exhaust gasses through a single tube heat exchanger, cools them by transferring heat to the water in the water jacket. The water will flash to steam which powers a steam turbine or engine connected to an electrical generator. For vehicle applications, power is now provided from two sources, the vehicle engine itself plus the electrical energy produced by the heat recovered from its exhaust.   Cooling exhaust gasses will produce deposit of particulates that would otherwise be expelled into the atmosphere, to build up inside the Heat Exchanger. Use of a single tube with a clean out cap allows periodic cleaning using a simple brush system similar to a chimney sweep or gun barrel. The particulates can be swept up and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.   Today, the technology and materials are available to emplace this system on ships and motor vehicles of all sizes. In addition, generator applications can replace fossil fuel furnaces for building applications to provide both electrical power and heat.   In addition to maximizing energy potential of fossil fuels, this invention will:   a. Reduce particulate and green house gas emissions into the atmosphere by cooling exhaust gas and cleaning the deposits from the Heat Exchanger.   b. Reduce the Infra-Red (Heat) signature of applications, of particular interest for war ships, by cooling the engine exhaust and dumping it into the water vice the air making it harder to detect.   c. Reduce combustion engine size requirements while improving fuel economy by capturing energy that was otherwise wasted. This translates into longer range, reduced fuel loads and/or increased cargo area.   d. Provide electrical power, hot water and building heat for all manner of structures from factories to cottages by replacing fossil fuelled furnaces with an electrical generator/heating system. Recovered heat could even be used to provide the heat for a clothes dryer while surplus electrical energy is fed to the power grid.   e. Provide a means to purify or desalinate water by vaporizing impure water, sterilization through heat and then condensing and capturing it.

Abstract: The hanger has a pair of jaws, one of which is pivotal and the other is not. A  link extends between the jaws and is fixed to the non-pivotal jaw and is hinged to the pivotal jaw such that the lower portion of the pivotal jaw pivots from a closed position to an open position relative to the non-pivotal jaw. A catch is biased into engagement with the upper portion of the pivotal jaw when the pivotal jaw is in the closed position and functions to immobilize the pivotal jaw in the closed position until a force, opposed to the bias of the catch, is applied to separate the lower portions of the two jaws. Fingers extend inward from the inner walls of the two jaws and function to oppose removal of any sheet material between the jaws when the pivotal jaw is in the closed position.
