Patent CA-2847776-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAROCHE CLAUDE P
IPC: A63B47/04
Filed: 2014-04-01
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une serviette de golf portable à la ceinture qui a comme principales fonctionnalités d'éviter d'avoir à mettre des objets usuels dans une partie golf dans ses poches de vêtements et de pouvoir nettoyer ces objets. La serviette est de dimensions réduites par rapport à des serviettes conventionnelles qui sont utilisées sur les sacs de golfs, les chariots et autres véhicules utilisés pour transporter ces sacs. Ces dimensions réduites permettent au golfeur de se promener avec la serviette attachée à la ceinture en tout temps, incluant sur les verts. La serviette est faite de tissu conventionnel (ratine ou autre) plié pour faire deux couches ouvertes vers le bas. La serviette est complétée avec un matériel de type nylon qui recouvre complètement l'arrière et le haut de la surface avant de la serviette. Ce dernier tissu permet d'éviter que la serviette déteigne sur les pantalons en cas d'humidité (ou toute autre raison). Une bande de tissus sur la surface avant permet d'insérer des tees, un crayon, une balle, un marqueur et un réparateur de vert. Une autre bande de tissu à l'arrière (même tissus qu'à l'arrière) permet de loger une carte de pointage. La serviette peut être fixée à la ceinture avec un crochet fixé au haut de la serviette. Il y a plusieurs tailles possibles particulièrement pour ce qui est de la longueur mais, dans tous les cas, la serviette doit être portable à la ceinture.     A fabric layer on the upper front end of the towel makes it possible to insert tees, a pencil, a ball, a marker and divot tool. Another stretch of fabric on the back (same fabric as back of towel) makes it possible to keep a scorecard. The towel can be fixed at the belt using a hook fixed to the upper part of the towel. There can be many sizes for the towel especially in terms of length but, for all cases, the towel must be wearable at the belt.

Patent CA-2853674-A1 (CA)
Title: Turbine blade positioning system
Inventor: LUNDHILD VIGGO
IPC: F03D7/00
Filed: 2011-10-05
Abstract: A system comprised of common Industrial Control System components, used to accurately, positively, and independently position turbine blades to be continuously re-positioned in the optimum position with respect to the flow direction. This system would apply to Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT's), Tidal, Ocean Current, or River turbines where it is desirable to orient each blade in a specific position during the rotation of the turbine. The positioning of the blades is accomplished by an actuator which is attached to the shaft of the rotatable blades. The actuator position control is accomplished by creating an absolute relationship between the direction of the flow (either water or air), the turbine, and the turbine blades. The turbine blade position, flow direction, and turbine position are determined by encoders attached to the turbine frame and the input shafts of the encoders being oriented by the blades and the flow direction.

Title: Signal modulation method resistant to echo reflections and frequency offsets
Inventor: HADANI RONY
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2013-03-25
Abstract: A method of modulating communications signals, such as optical fiber, wired electronic, or wireless signals in a manner that facilitates automatic correction for the signal distortion effects of echoes and frequency shifts, while still allowing high rates of data transmission. Data symbols intended for transmission are distributed into NxN matrices, and used to weigh or modulate a family of cyclically time shifted and cyclically frequency shifted waveforms. Although these waveforms may then be distorted during transmission, their basic cyclic time and frequency repeating structure facilitates use of improved receivers with deconvolution devices that can utilize the repeating patterns to correct for these distortions. The various waveforms may be sent in N time blocks at various time spacing and frequency spacing combinations in a manner that can allow interleaving of blocks from different transmitters. Applications to channel sounding/characterization, system optimization, and also radar are also discussed.

Patent CA-2873785-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLUMENSCHEIN CHARLES
IPC: C02F5/02
Filed: 2013-05-23
Abstract: A ballasted flocculation system that chemically softens water and causes hardness particles to precipitate from the water and crystallize. In the course of crystallizing, the hardness particles grow and form ballasted floc that are separated from the water in the form of sludge by a clarification unit, producing a clarified effluent. The separated sludge including the hardness crystals is directed to a separator where the sludge is separated into two streams with each stream having hardness crystals contained therein. In one process design, one stream includes relatively small hardness crystals and the other stream includes relatively large hardness crystals. The stream having the relatively small hardness crystals is directed to a first reactor and mixed with the incoming water and a softening reagent. The stream having the relatively large crystals is directed to a second downstream reactor and mixed with water and a flocculant which facilitates the growth of the hardness crystals.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of testing a HVAC unit for a disconnected damper motor is provided. An outside air section of a damper assembly is closed and air is circulated through the unit. If a discharge air temperature is not substantially equal to a return air temperature, the damper motor is determined to be disconnected. Otherwise, an economizing function having a free cooling target temperature is started. An outside air temperature is compared to the free cooling target temperature. If the outside air temperature is less than the free cooling target temperature, the damper motor is determined to be disconnected if the damper motor has been commanded to fully open the outside air section. If the outside air temperature is not less than the free cooling target temperature, the damper motor is determined to be disconnected if a discharge air temperature is not substantially equal to an outside air temperature.
