Patent CA-2568684-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARROW-WILLIAMS TIM
IPC: A61M5/20
Filed: 2005-05-27
Abstract: An injection device (210) is described. A housing (212) receives a syringe and includes a return spring (226) for biasing the syringe from an extended position in which its needle (218) extends from the housing to a retracted position in which the it does not. A drive spring (230) acts on a first drive element (232) and a second drive element (234) acts upon the syringe to advance it from its retracted position to its extended position and discharge its contents through the needle. The first drive element is capable of movement relative to the second once a nominal decoupling position has been reached. A release mechanism is activated when the-first drive element is further advanced to a nominal release position, to release the syringe (214) from the action of the drive spring, whereupon the return spring restores the syringe to its retracted position. A locking mechanism (337, 375) confines the returned syringe in its retracted position.

Patent CA-2577416-A1 (CA)
Title: Improved apparatus and method for control of high intensity discharge lighting
Inventor: BENAS ROBIN CHARLES
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2005-08-26
Abstract: An improved apparatus and method for control of discharge lighting, such as HID (high intensity discharge) lighting, effects full-voltage start up of the lighting, and sustained operation of the lighting at a reduced voltage after a selected and variable start-up phase or interval. The apparatus includes an auto transformer (28 and 30) having a primary winding and a secondary winding.  The primary winding is always in series with the load, but may be shorted to connect full line voltage from the line to the load. When the primary winding is not shorted, the secondary winding is connected to the load also, so that reduced voltage is provided to the load. A thermal analog device (36) simulates the warm up time constant of the HID lighting unit, so that the reduction in operating voltage to the HID lighting unit is effected only after this lighting unit has achieved a sufficiently high temperature to sustain operation at a reduced operating voltage.

Title: Innovative one pipe system (ops)
Inventor: BEAINI PETER
IPC: F24H1/48
Filed: 2007-02-14
Abstract: Energy efficiency has become essential due to climbing energy costs. In the construction business, this is being accomplished through the implementation of various energy efficient and renewable technologies. These include efficient building envelopes (increased levels of wall and roof insulation, more efficient windows etc...), heat recovery ventilation (pre-conditioning of fresh air through air exchangers), higher efficiency hot water boilers and the overall substitution of fossil fuels with renewable and sustainable energy sources.  In January 2006, Architecture 2030 launched the '2030 Challenge' which calls for all new buildings and major renovations to reduce their fossil-fuel greenhouse-gas-emitting energy consumption by 50 per cent immediately, increase this reduction to 60 per cent in 201, 70 percent in 2015, 80 per cent n 2020, 90 per cent in 2025, and finally, make all new buildings carbon neutral by 2030.  Owners of existing buildings who do not wish to undergo major renovations of find the costs associated with integrating renewable energy sources to be prohibitive, may be seeking a system that does not require extensive and expensive infrastructure changes.  This new concept, the One Pipe System delivers energy from a renewable source into a building using pre-existing infrastructure making renewable energy easily accessible and affordable. The One Pipe System (OPS) will be capable of delivering heating, cooling, domestic hot and cold water using a single pipe and return. Target users of this system include existing condominiums, multi-unit residential buildings and office towers.
