Title: Portable live well/bait well for a boat
Inventor: SIMPSON ROGER V
IPC: A01K97/20
Filed: 2006-09-18
Abstract: In a boat that was not designed for or required a live well, a built-in tank, for the holding of newly caught fish, a portable tank will serve as a live well that will hold fish that are caught and a bait well that would receive minnows or leaches. An electric pump powered by a battery of the boat or portable battery pumps water from the lake into the tank to fill, aerate and circulate the water in the tank. An electric pump powered by a battery of the boat or portable battery pumps water out of the tank and provides for overflow. A series of three valves control the water intake, water overflow and re-circulation of water in the tank. These operations are controlled by the open or closed combinations of the three valves. The majority of the live well is to receive newly caught fish with the smaller portion of the live well to serve as the holder for live bait, Aerated water filters throughout the entire live well.

Title: System and method for battery conservation in wireless stations
Inventor: ZENG GUANG
IPC: G01R31/08
Filed: 2005-07-07
Abstract: Described are a system and method for battery conservation in a wireless station. Initially, a wireless station switches, according to a predetermined time schedule, from a first communications mode (450) into a second communications mode (405). The station is capable of at least one of receiving and transmitting data packets (415) only when the station is in the second communications mode. The first mode is a power conservation mode (450). When the station is in the second mode (405), a wireless access point obtains a priority access to a radio channel (425). Then, the access point reserves the radio channel for wireless communications between the access point and the station. Wireless communications are conducted between the access point and the station over the radio channel (428, 440). Upon a termination condition, the station switches into the first mode (450).

Patent CA-2591602-A1 (CA)
IPC: C08K5/17
Filed: 2000-02-09
Abstract: An economical and reliable system for the contained transfer of particulates by means of a series of transfer containers (140) facilitates the particulate transfer without either exposure of the operating personnel and the environment to the particulate, or environmental contamination of the particulate itself. The system employs a multiple o-ring canister assembly (110) which can be attached to either the discharging port (120) or charging port (135) of a piece of processing equipment. The canister has a series of circumferential o-ring grooves (115) which allows the attachment of a series of individual containers. In a charging mode, once the particulate is charged to the processing equipment, a first transfer container is collapsed and a second transfer container is placed in the next o--ring groove, thereby containing the remaining contaminated section (149) of the first transfer container. The first transfer container is removed through a bag-out sleeve (143) which is an integral part of the second transfer container. The process is repeated in a stepwise fashion by moving to the next groove in the canister until the process equipment is completely charged in a particulate contained manner.
