Patent CA-2352421-A1 (CA)
Title: Steam turbine controller having method and apparatus for providing variable frequency regulation
Inventor: WESTPHAL BERND ARTUR KARL
IPC: F01D17/24
Filed: 2001-07-05
Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, the invention relates to a steam turbine (10) having a speed-loop droop governor (32) with two load-frequency error gains (44, 46) (droops). The first gain (fast change) may be a conventional high gain (44) that is used for power loads that have a constant frequency. When using only the first gain, the high rate of the first gain causes the droop governor to shut off steam to the turbine if the speed of the turbine drifts above a narrow speed range centered on the rated speed set-point. The second gain 46 (slow change) is a low gain that causes the droop governor to tolerate a wide range of turbine speeds about the rated speed set-point (36).

Abstract: A ventilation training analyzer manikin, for providing a quantitative measurement of the relative proportions of breathable gas volume delivered to a patient's lungs and patient's stomach during ventilation attempts by a user, thus demonstrating that the user is or is not using proper ventilation methods and equipment operating techniques. The manikin has a pressure actuated valve that opens at 15 cm H2O gas pressure to mimic the opening of the human esophageal sphincter. The opening of the valve at high pressure shows users that delivery of excess volumes of high pressure gas results in aspiration of the stomach contents, potential lung damage and risk of death in some cases. The manikin provides (1) an anatomical simulation of a human respiratory tract including a pharynx model structure, a larynx model structure; and lung model structure for mimicking the physiological attributes of a human bronchia and lungs, and measuring the tidal volume of gas delivered to the lungs and (2) an anatomical simulation of an upper portion of a human alimentary canal including the pharynx model structure and an esophagus model structure with means for measuring the tidal volume of gas delivered to the stomach and lower esophageal sphincter pressure actuated valve for mimicking the physiological attributes of a human lower esophageal sphincter to open when gas pressure differential between an upstream and a downstream portion of the esophageal model structure exceeds a selected threshold pressure differential such as 15 cm H2O. Gas volume detection means can include: a vane type respirometer; a flow transducer; and a pressure transducer.

Title: Dynamic class loading
Inventor: AUF DER MAUR DOMINIK
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2001-10-02
Abstract: In the inventive method for dynamic class loading, a first computer program unit is remotely invokable by a second program unit, and the first program unit is able to return a software object to the second program unit after being remotely invoked. For the case that a class of the returned object is not known to the second. program unit, the inventive method comprises the steps of a) a publisher of Java Message System publishing a class file containing a class description of the returned object, and b) the second program unit acting as a subscriber of the Java Message System and receiving the class file.      This makes it possible that the second program unit receives the class file without having to know from where the class file originates. Furthermore, since the method uses the Java Message System, no Internet protocol (IP) addresses and internet communication means are required for communicating with the second program unit.

Patent CA-2365608-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JEONG DEOG-KYOON
IPC: H03L7/087
Filed: 1997-05-01
Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed that receives a multi-channel digital serial encoded signal and converting it into a synchronized set of binary characters. A charge pump phase-locked loop receives a transmitted reference clock and derives a multi-phase clock from the reference clock. The multi-phase clock is used to control a plurality of multi-bit block assembly circuits. Each assembly circuit receives one channel of the digital signal and produces a multi-bit block or character. The multi-bit block assembly circuit includes an oversampler, a digital phase-locked loop and a byte synchronizer. The oversampler oversamples the received digital signal under control of the multi-phase clock and produces a sequence of oversampled binary data. The digital phase-locked loop receives the oversampled data and selects samples from it depending on the skew characteristics of the sample. The byte synchronizer assembles a sequence of selected bits into a bit block, or character. An interchannel synchronizer receives as input the characters produced by each of the multi-bit block assembly circuits, and selectively delays output of the received characters in order to synchronize the characters of each channel with one another.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of photo-processing of materials in the presence of a reactive fluid which involves using light selected on the basis that the material has a long absorption for the wavelength of emission of the light.      The present invention teaches photo-processing of semiconductors such as silicon using infrared radiation and is very advantageous since, in those materials to be processed having a very long absorption for the wavelength of emission of the light, one obtains volume absorption deep under the surface of the illuminated region so that the material under the surface is heated. The material is irradiated with the light beam in the presence of a reactive gas, the light beam having a wavelength in an infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum wherein the irradiated selected region of the solid is heated and reacts with the reactive gas to remove atoms or molecules of the material from the irradiated region.
