Patent CA-2325814-C (CA)
Title: Infant warming apparatus
Inventor: FALK STEVEN M
IPC: A61G11/00
Filed: 2000-11-14
Granted: 2007-07-17
Abstract: An infant care apparatus that has a canopy that can be moved vertically with respect to an infant platform on which the infant is positioned. The canopy contains a radiant heater that can be moved from a lower position enclosing the infant in an infant compartment to an upper position where the infant compartment is open and the radiant heater provides radiant energy to warm the infant.  When the canopy is in its lower position there is a convective heating system that provides a forced flow of heated air to the infant compartment to heat the infant.  The convective heating system includes a heater, a fan and various ducting and passageways in the infant platform that conduct the heated air to the infant compartment and receive air from that compartment for re-circulation. A  control system is used to operate both the convective heating system and the radiant heater and is operable to activate the radiant heater and disable the convective heating system when the canopy is in its upper position and, conversely, to activate the convective heating system and disable the radiant heater when the canopy is in its lower position. In the preferred embodiment, when the convective heating system is disabled, the control system has a separate control of the heater and the fan of the convective heating system and can inactivate the convective heating system by shutting off the fan while retaining the heater energized at a relative low setting of heat output, thus the heater can keep the various ducting and passageway surfaces warm and improve the warm up time that the convective heating system takes to warm up the infant compartment with heated forced air when the canopy is returned to is lower position and the convective heating system again activated.

Abstract: A Linear Solver method and apparatus, embodied in a Simulator, (70), and adapted for solving systems of non-linear partial differential equations and systems of linear equations representing physical characteristics of an oil and/or gas reservoir, (72), includes receiving a first signal representing physical characteristics of a reservoir, obtaining a residual vector, (Ro) from the first signal (representing errors associated with a system of nonlinear equations describing the reservoir), and a first matrix, (Ao), (78), (representing the sensitivity of the residual vector to changes in a system of nonlinear equations), recursively decomposing matrix (Ao), into a lower block triangular matrix, an upper block triangular matrix, and a diagonal matrix, and generating, (80), a second matrix (Mo) that is an approximation to matrix, (Ao). A solution to the systems of non-linear partial differential equations may then be found by using certain values that were used to produce the matrix, (Mo), and that solution, (86), does not require the direct computation of (Ao) z = b, (representing the system of linear equations) as required by conventional methods.
