Patent CA-2618635-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KATZ BRUCE D
IPC: H01M50/457
Filed: 2006-08-08
Abstract: Protected anode architectures have ionically conductive protective membrane architectures that, in conjunction with compliant seal structures and anode backplanes, effectively enclose an active metal anode inside the interior of an anode compartment. This enclosure prevents the active metal from deleterious reaction with the environment external to the anode compartment, which may include aqueous, ambient moisture, and/or other materials corrosive to the active metal. The compliant seal structures are substantially impervious to anolytes, catholyes, dissolved species in electrolytes, and moisture and compliant to changes in anode volume such that physical continuity between the anode protective architecture and backplane are maintained. The protected anode architectures can be used in arrays of protected anode architectures and battery cells of various configurations incorporating the protected anode architectures or arrays.

Title: Transmit power initialization for secondary reverse link carriers in a wireless communication network
Inventor: CHEN WANSHI
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2006-06-09
Abstract: A method and apparatus provide for setting the initial transmit power of secondary reverse link carriers used by mobile stations in conjunction with primary reverse link carriers. In one or more embodiments, a mobile station sets the initial transmit power of a secondary reverse link carrier relative to the transmit power of the primary reverse link carrier as a function of initialization transmit power information transmitted to the mobile station, which directly or indirectly considers reverse link loading information.  Additional considerations may include differences in active sets associated with the primary and secondary reverse link carriers and/or sector switching activity of the mobile station.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of encapsulates, which process employs: ~ a pumpable emulsion comprising (i) a continuous phase containing a solvent and a matrix-forming solute dissolved in said solvent and (ii) a dispersed phase; ~ an extractant comprising supercritical, subcritical or liquefied gas; said solvent being substantially more soluble in the extractant than said matrix-forming solute and said process comprising the successive steps of: a. combining the pumpable emulsion with the extractant under mixing conditions; b. allowing the formation of particulate encapsulates in which the dispersed phase is encased in a solid matrix of the matrix-forming solute; c. collecting the encapsulates and separating them from the extractant. The present processes is particularly suitable for producing particles containing active ingredients that are very sensitive, e.g. ingredients whose activity is adversely affected by exposure to oxygen, light, moisture, heat and/or friction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a tamper protection device which comprises a protection cap and a retainer for a security seal and is intended, in particular, for a protective relay having manually operable control elements or the like. When the protection cap is in a covering position, which can be secured by the seal retainer and a seal wire, at least one control element is protected from unwanted operation or tampering. It is a feature of the present invention that the protection cap and seal retainer are each releasably connectable to the housing, and that the sealed unit formed of the protection cap and the seal retainer is non-releasably connectable to the housing by an interlocking connection. Thus, it is possible to produce switching relays of identical design in a simple manner, regardless of whether or not they will be retrofitted with the tamper protection device of the present invention.

Abstract: Although MS Windows (in its various versions) is at present the most popular OS  (Operating System) in personal computers, after years of consecutive improvements there are still various issues which need to be improved, which include for example issues of efficiency, comfort, and/or reliability. The present invention tries to solve the above problems in new ways that include considerable improvements over the prior art. Preferably the system allows for example a "Reset" function, which means that preferably an Image of the state of the OS (including all loaded software) is saved immediately after a successful boot on the disk or other non-volatile memory and is preferably automatically updated when new drivers and/or software that change the state after a boot are added, so that if the system gets stuck it can be instantly restarted as if it has been rebooted. Other features include for example solving the problem that the focus can be grabbed while the user is typing something, allowing the user to easily define or increase or decrease the priority of various processes or open windows, a powerful undo feature that can include preferably even any changes to the hard disk, improved undo features in word processing, improved file comparison features, being able for example to track changes retroactively, improved backup features, and many additional improvements. The application covers also improvements that are related for example to Word processing (since for example in Microsoft Windows, Word behaves like an integral part of the system) and things that are related to the user's Internet surfing experience, including for example improved search experience (This is important since for example in Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer is practically an integral part of the OS). The invention deals also with some preferable improvements in the performance of the hard disk and also with some other smart computerized devices.
