Patent CA-2919949-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CALO LOPEZ ANTONIO
IPC: F24S23/00
Filed: 2014-08-01
Abstract: The present invention relates to a solar panel with 3D unitary structures or cavities that is made entirely of plastic materials and used both in thermal and photovoltaic applications. The assembly is lightweight free from the need for aluminum frames or external securing systems since the rigidity is assured by the structure itself. Plastic injection further allows directly incorporating a securing or gripping system. It also allows adding openings for inter-connecting solar cells to one another. Each 3D unitary structure concentrates sunlight on the end solar radiation receivers (pipes (6) or cells (8) ), covering the entire seasonal and daily spectrum of angles of incidence, without needing active solar tracking. The thickness of said structure is small as a result of taking advantage of the concentrating advantages of not only one but three optical elements: on the plastic base (12) there are placed a highly reflective surface (10), a reflection hologram (9) having a wide spectral and angular bandwidth, and a transparent optical medium (11) with a refractive index and tilt angle such that it traps the light therein by total internal reflection (TIR). Optical losses are therefore significantly reduced and a large part of the solar spectrum is directed towards the radiation receiver.

Filed: 2014-08-08
Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve provisioning customers of an aggregator, such as a reseller, of a content delivery network (CDN). In one aspect, content requests to the CDN are processed in accordance with the virtual IP (VIP) address at which the request was received, according to a property template bound to the VIP selected by the customer and only involving discrete parameters for the reseller. In another aspect, cache fills of the network are processed without direct knowledge of the customer origin through a combination of some request attribute, e.g., alias host of the customer, and an attribute of the reseller to make a DNS request to a name server outside the CDN. Another aspect involves receiving a property template selection, an origin and an alias from a customer of the reseller, and providing appropriate DNS entries to validate the customer and provide origin information to the CDN.

A machine capable of producing audio or other signal transmission; 3. A product capable of suppressing environmental noise; and 4. When utilized with instructive audio programming, a novel process for the treatment of other co-morbid sleep disorders including, but not limited to, insomnia. PAP devices are commonly used in the treatment of sleep disordered breathing.  These devices produce a positive airway pressure that acts as a pneumatic splint, maintaining the patency of a user's airway when sleeping. These devices can also provide ventilatory support or spontaneous breathing for users with different forms of sleep disordered breathing. These devices interface with the user through a mask and connecting hose. Masks are produced in the form of intranasal/nasal pillow, nasal or oronasal/full-face designs and are held in place on a user's head by way of an attachment mechanism or headwear.

Title: Wakeup message for a digital television system
Inventor: STEWART JOHN SIDNEY
IPC: H04H20/42
Filed: 2014-08-19
Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided which utilize the preamble of a multi-carrier modulated digital transmitted signal to indicate whether or not a special message (e.g., Emergency Alert System messages) is available for reception. When in power saving mode the receiver periodically detects the preamble, which requires limited functionality and power, to check for the presence of such special messages. The receiver only completely wakes up additional functionalities if a special message is detected in the preamble. This results in advantageous savings in power consumption, particularly for portable and handheld devices, while having the capability of receiving special messages anytime.

Title: Nuclear fuel pellet having enhanced thermal conductivity, and preparation method thereof
Inventor: KURINA IRINA SEMYONOVNA
IPC: G21C3/58
Filed: 2014-11-21
Abstract: ?The invention relates to nuclear physics, and specifically to reactor fuel elements and units thereof, and particularly to the composition of solid ceramic fuel elements based on uranium dioxide, intended for and exhibiting characteristics for being used in variously-purposed nuclear reactors. The result consists in a more reliable, special structure and a simple composition of uranium dioxide without heterogeneous fuel pellet additives, approaching the characteristics of a monocrystal having enhanced, and specifically exceeding reference data, thermal conductivity as temperature increases, and a simple production method thereof. The result is achieved in that pores of between 1 and 5 microns in size are distributed along the perimeters of grains in the micro-structure of each metal cluster in a nuclear fuel pellet, and in that located within the grains are pores which are predominantly nano-sized. In addition, the metal clusters comprise between 0.01 and 1.0 percent by mass. The invention provides for a method of preparing a nuclear fuel pellet, including precipitating metal hydroxides, in two stages, having different pH levels. Uranium metal is melted at a temperature exceeding 1150°C, sintering is carried out in an insignificant amount of liquid phase at a temperature ranging between 1600 and 2200°C in a hydrogen medium until forming uranium dioxide, the structure of which includes metal clusters dispersed therein. An X-ray photon spectroscope is used for identifying the new structure of the UO2 pellet and the additional U-U chemical bond.

Inventor: HENRY PAUL SHALA
IPC: H01Q1/46
Filed: 2014-10-21
Abstract: A quasi-optical coupling system launches and extracts surface wave communication transmissions from a wire. At millimeter-wave frequencies, where the wavelength is small compared to the macroscopic size of the equipment, the millimeter-wave transmissions can be transported from one place to another and diverted via lenses and reflectors, much like visible light. Transmitters and receivers can be positioned near telephone and power lines and reflectors placed on or near the cables can reflect transmissions onto or off of the cables. The lenses on the transmitters are focused, and the reflectors positioned such that the reflected transmissions are guided waves on the surface of the cables. The reflectors can be polarization sensitive, where one or more of a set of guided wave modes can be reflected off the wire based on the polarization of the guided wave modes and polarization and orientation of the reflector.

Abstract: The current document is directed to methods and systems for estimating values that could be derived from a large data set, were it available, from values computed from an available smaller data set. A specific example of the currently described methods and systems are methods and systems that estimate various medical-record-related statistics and values computed from hypothetical datasets. In order to extrapolate the desired statistics and computed values from the observed smaller data set, multiple models are employed by the currently disclosed methods and systems. These models can be employed sequentially to generate relatively fine-grained estimates over various multi-dimensional data-set volumes.
