Patent CA-2335457-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KERSEY ALAN D
IPC: G01F1/66
Filed: 1999-06-28
Abstract: At least one parameter of at least one fluid in a pipe (12) is measured using a spatial array of acoustic pressure sensors (14, 16, 18) placed at predetermined ax-ial locations x1,x2,x3 along the pipe (12).  The pressure sensors (14, 16, 18) provide acoustic pressure signals P1(t), P2(t), P3(t) on lines (20, 22, 24) which are provided to signal processing logic (60) which deter-mines the speed of sound a mix of the fluid (or mixture) in the pipe (12) using acoustic spatial array signal processing techniques with the direction of propagation of the acoustic signals along the longitudinal axis of the pipe (12). Numerous spatial array processing techniques may be employed to determined the speed of sound a mix. The speed of sound a mix is provided to logic (48) which calculates the percent compo-sition of the mixture, e.g., water fraction, or any other parameter of the mixture or fluid which is related to the sound speed a mix. The logic (60) may also determine the mach number (MX) of the fluid. The acoustic pressure signals P1(t), P2(t), P3(t) measured are lower frequency (and longer wavelength) signals than those used for ul-trasonic flow meters, and thus is more tol-erant to inhomogeneities in the flow. No external source is required and thus may operate using passive listening. The invention will work with arbitrary sensor spacing and with as few as two sensors if certain information is known about the acoustic properties of the system.

Patent CA-2337573-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MILLS DONALD HUGH
IPC: F02C1/02
Filed: 2001-02-23
Abstract: Hydro dams use water to harness the power of gravity.      The Mine Shaft Generator. uses air, which is heated and pressur-ized in an enclosed shaft. A plunger descends multiplying both heat and pressure driving the air into a reservoir. Turbines and engines driven by the air and heat exchangers in the reser-voir provide power to drive generators Energy developed is the product of the weight and gravity driven velocity of the plunger, which increases with the depth of the shaft. Ballast which is disposed of at the bottom of the shaft increases the weight of the plunger.      An air-tight dome at the top of the shaft creates a vacu-um in the shaft when the plunger descends. Turbines in round openings in the dome are driven by inrushing air to provide additional power.

Abstract: In a method for generating/regenerating an encryption key for a cryptographic method, the encryption key, as well as a public key being generated using a predefined deterministic method, from a large random number (seed), the seed is only generated on the user side, in that quantities known only to the user are consulted. Regeneration information (R), which is suitable for regenerating the seed and from which the seed is able to be derived deterministically by the trust center by linking only to information known to it, is generated on the user side and is stored so as to be secured against lost. In the event of loss of the encryption key, the seed is reconstructed by the trust center by linking the regeneration information to the secret information.
