Patent CA-2604164-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FRENCH ANDREW BOYD
IPC: F16H49/00
Filed: 2006-04-10
Abstract: A primary disc (10) and the secondary discs (14, 16) are each fitted with magnetic means, typically in the form of permanent magnets of the same polarity, located along a radial line from the centre point of the discs (14, 16), and arranged generally transverse to the axis of rotation of the respective disc. As shown in the drawings, these magnets are also located at or adjacent to the periphery of the disc(s). The magnets are embedded into each of the primary (10) and secondary (14, 16) discs such that the faces of the magnets are flush with the exterior faces of the primary (10) and secondary (14, 16) discs. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, each of the magnets (22) embedded in the primary disc (10) has a North pole which is aligned with a North pole of a magnet (28) embedded in the secondary disc (14). Each of the South pole of those magnets (22) embedded in the primary disc (10) has a South pole which is aligned with a South pole of a magnet (30) embedded in the other secondary disc (16). In some embodiments, the magnets on the primary and secondary discs are arranged so as to be parallel, with their respective elongate, straight side edges aligned. In use, the inventor has observed that such an arrangement can result in less slippage between the discs (10, 14) which hold the magnets, and can assist in handling some misalignment which may occur between these discs during use, thus allowing smoother operation.

Title: Container with integral module for heating or cooling the contents
Inventor: BOUCHER DAVID
IPC: F24V30/00
Filed: 2005-03-17
Abstract: A container comprises a container body for containing contents to be heated or cooled, a thermic module at one end of the body, and a closure at the other end of the body. Within the thermic module, an internal exothermic (or, alternatively, endothermic) chemical reaction is initiated to heat its contents when a user actuates the thermic module. The thermic module includes a heat exchanger portion extending proximally into the container and a thermic module cap distal to the heat exchanger portion. The heat exchanger portion has a pleated wall to improve the heat transfer to the contents of the container. The container includes a rotatable cover adhered to the container end over the closure with heat-sensitive adhesive that prevents a user from accessing the contents until a certain temperature is reached. The container further includes a full panel full-off which covers and protects the actuator from being actuated until the pull-of lid is removed from the full panel full-off. The thermic module may also include a filter disposed in interfering relation with the thermic module vents, including a portion between the inner and outer actuator buttons, to block egress of any particles of the solid reactant or the reaction product.

Inventor: TULETT JOHN RICHARD
IPC: G01V1/02
Filed: 2006-04-28
Abstract: In-sea seismic energy sources, deployed at or near the seabed, generate seismic waves in earth formations beneath the seabed when activated by a triggering mechanism at a precise time synchronized with seismic data acquisition by sensors deployed at predetermined locations around a well drilled for oil and gas exploration. Seismic waves generated at the seabed travel with more direct and predictable ray-paths through the earth to the sensors. Acquired data, including a precise time and location of the seismic events, are used to provide enhanced borehole and sea-bottom seismic surveys.

Title: A copy-protected optical information carrier
Inventor: ELLINGSEN TOM
IPC: G11B20/00
Filed: 2006-08-22
Abstract: Copy protection of an optical information carrier is provided by intentional physical modification of the information-carrying layer to affect the readability a software component stored in a specific location. By detection of the physical modification by the computer system, on which the information carrier is played back, the computer will attempt to read a specific part of a software component store in the specific location, which is designated by a unique identification code entered into the computer either by retrieval from the information carrier itself or by user operation, e.g. via a keyboard.  As the physical modification is imparted to the information carrier during its first installation on a computer the new feature will in addition to protection of the information carrier against unauthorized use by replaying on other computers than the one, on which it was first installed, provide a verification, for any subsequent replay of the information carrier on the same computer, that the information carrier is the genuine original product, to which the described physical modification has earlier been correctly imparted.

Title: Method and apparatus for acquiring satellite positioning system signals
Inventor: KRASNER NORMAN F
IPC: G01S19/03
Filed: 1999-07-15
Abstract: A method and an apparatus which acquire satellite positioning system (SPS) signals in an SPS receiver.  Information on time of day, approximate receiver location, and satellite positions are used to reduce the time to search and acquire signals from one or more SPS satellites.  In an example of a method of the invention, a first pseudorange to a first SPS satellite is determined, and an approximate location of the SPS receiver is determined. An estimated pseudorange for a second pseudorange to a second SPS satellite is determined from the approximate location and a satellite position of the second SPS satellite. The SPS receiver then searches for SPS signals from the second SPS satellite in a range determined by the estimated pseudorange. Typically, this method reduces the search time to initially acquire SPS signals from the second SPS  satellite, and the estimated pseudorange is not based on a previously determined pseudorange for said second SPS  satellite. In a particular example of the invention, the approximate location is determined from a cell based information source which correlates an identification of each of various wireless cell sites with an approximate location for objects within a cell of a wireless cell based communication system, such as a cellular (or cell based) telephone system. In other examples of the invention, relatively precise time of day information may be used with information indicating satellite positions and information indicating the approximate location to determine an estimated pseudorange for a first SPS satellite to be acquired.
