Patent CA-2683995-A1 (CA)
Title: Fluid powered energy generator
Inventor: BRIDWELL RANDOLPH E
IPC: F03D3/02
Filed: 2008-04-15
Abstract: A power plant with one or more fluid operated generator unit(s) is provided to generate electrical energy. Each generator unit includes one or more rotational members responsive to fluid flow and in communication with one or more magnets and electrically conductive material. Similarly, each generator unit is in electrical communication with a battery or a power grid used to store or utilize electrical energy, respectively. A continuous amount of external energy is required to initiate and maintain movement of the power plant. As the rotational element of the generator unit(s) is exposed to fluid flow, fluid flow causes the rotational element(s) to rotate. This rotation causes the magnets to pass by the electrically conductive material and to generate electrical energy. In response to continuous movement, the generator unit(s) generates electrical energy through fluid flow. The generated electrical energy is stored in an electrical storage apparatus or communicated to a power grid.

Title: System and method for automation of hardware signal characterization and signal integrity verification
Inventor: HE JANE
IPC: G01R31/3193
Filed: 2008-05-15
Abstract: A PCB comprising two or more components, such as ICs, comprises drivers and receivers that facilitate communication of signals between the components Signal terminations, such as series and AC  terminations, are used to increase the integrity of signals transmitted between components Advantageously, values of the terminations are determined using a computerized method comprising sequential adjustment of on-chip programmable resistors and/or capacitors on chips coupled to the PCB Thus, the effect of various values of on-chip termination resistors and/or capacitors on signal integrity is actually tested on the PCB, rather than simulating using software, for example, in order to determine optimal termination values Characteristics of on-chip programmable resistors and/or capacitors may be adjusted by writing values into registers of the corresponding chips The termination testing may be performed at various temperature and humidity settings corresponding to expected use environments in order to observe signal integrity at specific use environments.

IPC: C23C16/00
Filed: 2008-06-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for forming high sp3 content amorphous carbon coatings deposited by plasma en-hanced chemical vapor deposition on internal surfaces and employing the hollow-cathode technique. This method allows adjustment of tribological properties, such as hardness, Young's modulus, wear resistance and coefficient of friction as well as optical properties, such as refractive index. In addition the resulting coatings are uniform and have high corrosion resistance. By controlling pressure, type of diamondoid precursor and bias voltage, the new method prevents the diamondoid precursor from fully breaking upon impact with the substrate. The diamondoid retains sp3 bonds which yields a high sp3 content film at higher pressure. This enables a faster deposition rate than would be possible without the use of a diamondoid precursor.

Abstract: A fault diagnosis apparatus and method capable of simultaneously detecting the fault of a multiplexer and the fault of an A/D converter and isolating and identifying causes of these faults, the multiplexer and the A/D converter being used in a multi-channel analog input/output circuit. Test-voltage values are inputted from a diagnosis-voltage input unit into the multiplexer and the A/D converter constituting an analog-signal conversion unit, the multiplexer having plural channels, the A/D converter converting outputs from the multiplexer into digital signals, the test-voltage values being different from each other for each channel of the multiplexer. Comparisons are made between the digital voltage values and the test-voltage values inputted, the digital voltage values being outputted for each channel of the multiplexer. From this comparison result, it is judged whether the multiplexer is at fault or the A/D converter is at fault.

Abstract: This invention relates to a paper shredder. A first stage shredder accepts paper from a hopper. The first stage shredder comprises two knife shaft assemblies with a plurality of sequentially oriented knives and spacers on hexagonal shafts. A second stage shredder accepts the output of the first stage shredder. The second stage shredder has two counter rotating shafts with saw tooth disk knives and separating spacers and cuts the paper finer than that of the first stage shredder. A third stage shredder may be connected to the second stage shredder providing even further paper size reduction. Each of the second stage shredder and third stage shredder may be disengaged from the shredding process. The first stage, second stage and third stage shredders are interlocked electronically so that if any stage suffers a jam the preceding stages are stopped. The jammed stage is reversed to remove the jam and all preceding stages stop until a signal is provided to restart. Optical sensors are provided between each stage, which signal if too much paper is being passed from one stage to another. If this is the case the preceding stages automatically stop until such time as they receive an electronic signal indicting the overload situation has been relieved.
