Title: Systeme d'evaluation en ligne consolide
Inventor: KUNTZ DAVID L
IPC: G09B3/00
Filed: 2003-03-14
Granted: 2013-12-10
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'évaluation en ligne consolidé (système COLA) destiné à créer, manipuler et distribuer un paradigme orienté objet représentant une notation et les activités associées comme une famille intégrée unifiée d'objets à couplage dispersé, plus particulièrement un "Cas" représentant une machine d'état remplaçant la réponse construite d'un candidat en tant qu'unité de travail (FIG. 2). Le modèle de notation et les propriétés associées englobant les règles commerciales associées aux actions appropriées ou nécessaires à une unité de travail, et les réponses à l'unité de travail qui représentent le contenu produit par le candidat (par exemple des rédactions ou d'autres réponses à base de texte, des réponses audio, des réponses vidéo numérisées, des images balayées, des diagrammes, des plans de cours, etc.) et associent ce contenu à son créateur, sont liés à une unité de notation distincte (DSU) représentant un mécanisme arborescent connectant et générant des propriétés d'héritabilité pour les autres objets du système primaire. L'abstraction de l'unité DSU permet au système de distinguer entre la réponse construite comme contenu produit par le candidat et la réponse construite porteuse des informations d'état au cours du processus d'évaluation.

Abstract: A preferred embodiment alarm device for use with fall protection equipment includes an elongating member, an alarm, an activation member, and a connecting member. The elongating member has a first end and a second end and extends in length as the first end and the second end are pulled in different directions. The alarm is operatively connected to the first end of the elongating member, and the activation member is releasably connected to the alarm. The activation member activates the alarm when disconnected from the alarm. The connecting member interconnects the activation member and the second end of the elongating member, and the activation member becomes disconnected from the alarm when the elongating member is extended in length as the first end and the second end are pulled in different directions thereby activating tree alarm when the elongating member is extended.

Abstract: A human power amplifier assist device (10) includes an end-effector (14) that is grasped by a human operator and applied to a load (25). The end-effector (14) is suspended, via a line (13), from a take-up pulley (11), winch or drum that is driven by an actuator (12) to lift or lower the load (25). The end-effector (14) includes a force sensor (31) that measures the vertical force imposed on the end-effector (14) by the operator and delivers a signal to a controller (20). The controller (20) and actuator (12) are structured in such a way that a predetermined percentage of the force necessary to lift or lower the load (25) is applied by the actuator (12), with the remaining force being supplied by the operator. The load (25) thus feels lighter to the operator, but the operator does not lose the sense of lifting against both the gravitation and inertial forces originating in the load (25).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a technique for improving instability in the output of a CANDU (Canadian Deuterium Uranium) reactor (pressurized heavy water reactor) by controlling flow rates of light water and helium gas fed into a compartment of a liquid zone control system (LZCS) of the reactor. The present invention also relates to a tube support plate in the compartment for improving the instability in the output of the reactor. A method of controlling flow rates of light water and helium gas passing through a plurality of compartments of a CANDU reactor according to the present invention comprises controlling the flow rates of the light water and the helium gas such that flow rates of the light water and the helium gas supplied to and discharged from a portion of each of the compartments below a tube support plate per unit time satisfy the following relationship (a) ~out - (~m)max < 0 or (b) ~out - (~in)max <=~He, where ~out is a flow rate of the light water discharged from the compartment per unit time, (~in)max is a maximum flow rate of the light water that can pass through the tube support plate per unit time, and ~He is a flow rate of the helium gas supplied.

Title: Coiled optical fiber assembly for measuring pressure and/or other physical data
Inventor: VAN DER SPEK ALEXANDER MICHAEL
IPC: G01L11/02
Filed: 2004-03-04
Granted: 2012-10-23
Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for measuring pressure and/or other physical data, such as the temperature, elongation, torsion and/or bending at any point along the length of an elongate carrier tube by means of one or more coiled optical fibers that are embedded in the wall the tube such that deformation of the carrier tube induces strain in each optical fiber. In use a pulsed laser light source transmits a sequence of light pulses of a selected wavelength from an upstream end of each fiber into a coiled substantially uniform light guide channel provided by said optical fiber and a light sensor assembly detects any shift in wavelength of the light pulses backscattered from various locations along the length of said light guide channel. A signal processing assembly then calculates a strain pattern along the length of the fiber, and a pressure difference between the interior and exterior of the tube, at various locations along the length of the carrier tube. Preferably several fibers are wound at different pitch angles and in different directions and at different diameters in the wall of the carrier tube and the signal processing assembly calculates bending, torsion and both radial and axial deformation of the carrier tube on the basis of a comparison of the strain patterns induced on different optical fibers.

Title: Method for treating a process water to obtain carbon dioxide therefrom
Inventor: SOMERS JOHN MICHAEL
IPC: C02F1/20
Filed: 2006-10-19
Granted: 2010-05-11
Abstract: A method for treating a process water from a bitumen recovery process in order to obtain carbon dioxide from the process water, which method includes lowering the pH of the process water, thereby causing carbon dioxide to evolve from the process water as evolved carbon dioxide gas. The evolved carbon dioxide gas may be collected and compressed, and water vapour associated with the evolved carbon dioxide gas may be separated from the evolved carbon dioxide gas. After the carbon dioxide has been obtained from the process water, the process water and the water vapour separated from the evolved carbon dioxide gas may be recycled back to the bitumen recovery process. The evolved carbon dioxide gas may be stored for future use or sale. The method may also include heating the process water in order to reduce the solubility of carbon dioxide in the process water.

Abstract: An acoustic isolator for use with tubular assemblies such as drillpipe or production tubing comprising an acoustic wave transmitter, the acoustic isolator comprising, in series, an odd integer ~/4 multiple tuning bar of first acoustic impedance adjacent the acoustic wave transmitter, an odd integer ~/4 multiple reflector tube of second acoustic impedance, and a snubber of third acoustic impedance, wherein there is an acoustic impedance mismatch between the odd integer ~/4 multiple tuning bar and the odd integer ~/4 multiple reflector tube and an acoustic impedance mismatch between the odd integer ~/4 multiple reflector tube and snubber, such that a "down" wave propagated toward the isolator is reflected back substantially in phase with an "up" wave propagated from the acoustic wave source away from the isolator. Furthermore, the acoustic isolator is similarly effective in reflecting "up" propagating waves originating from below the isolator, hence further protecting the acoustic wave source from possible deleterious interference.
