Patent CA-2402316-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALLPORT DAVID
IPC: H04N7/14
Filed: 2000-03-28
Abstract: Systems and methods are described for using physical buttons (15a - 15d) on a device (10) in association with a display (25) to display, access, and execute functions available through associated hardware and software.    The physical buttons (15a - 15d) are programmable, and the function of each button is displayed on an associated display (25) when the button is activated using a first type of motion, and the function of the button is performed when the button is activated using a second type of motion. This allows the display (25) to be free of unnecessary icons, too]-tips, menus, text, etc., and to be devoted to actual content unless and until a user decides to perform a function associated with the device containing the display. Increasing the available display space is especially important in the advancing art of electronics, where devices are becoming smaller and smaller, yet consumers are demanding more and more functionality.

Patent CA-2405350-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FREE P DOUGLAS
IPC: F02M53/04
Filed: 2002-09-26
Abstract: A liquid cooled fuel injection valve is operable to inject fuel directly into a combustion chamber through a nozzle orifice provided in an injector tip. The fuel injection valve further comprises a cooling system for draining fuel from a fuel cavity disposed within the injector tip and a drain valve that opens when pressure within the fuel cavity is greater than a predetermined set point. Fuel drained through the cooling system is directed to a drain system that may be combined with drain passages typically found in fuel injection valves. In a preferred embodiment, the drain valve is disposed within the fuel injection valve. A preferred method of operating the liquid cooled fuel injection valve comprises stopping flow through the cooling system when cooling is not required by maintaining a fuel pressure within the fuel cavity that is less than the predetermined set point, and opening the drain valve to increase fuel flow through the fuel injection valve by elevating the pressure within the fuel cavity above the predetermined set point.
