Title: Apparatus and method for detecting unauthorized removal of asset tracking device
Inventor: BAADE LEVI M
IPC: G08C17/02
Filed: 2012-11-21
Abstract: An asset tracking device includes a mounting bracket and a housing attached to the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket includes a magnetic portion, first apertures that receive first fasteners for attaching the mounting bracket to the asset, and second apertures that receive second fasteners. Third apertures in the housing, aligned with the second apertures in the mounting bracket, receive the second fasteners for attaching the housing to the mounting bracket. When the housing is attached to the mounting bracket, the housing makes the fasteners in the mounting bracket inaccessible so that the mounting bracket cannot be removed from the asset. When the housing is removed from the mounting bracket, a magnetic switch changes state and triggers a controller to generate a tamper alert with location information indicating the location of the tracking device. A wireless transmitter wirelessly transmits the tamper alert and location information to a central monitoring station.

Title: High velocity feedwell for a froth settling unit
Inventor: GARNER WILLIAM NICHOLAS
IPC: C10G1/04
Filed: 2014-10-10
Abstract: Embodiments of a feedwell discharge a solvent treated bitumen-containing froth feed to a froth settling vessel at a Richardson number less than 1Ø Feed is discharged from feedwell inlets to the vessel, either located at a center of the vessel or at a perimeter wall of the vessel along a substantially horizontal path across the vessel. The high velocity maximizes the horizontal path. As the velocity is reduced along the path and as a result of collision in the vessel with the perimeter wall or with feed entering the vessel from an opposing inlet, the feed separates into diluted bitumen and solvent which rises in the vessel for discharge as an overflow product and a waste stream, comprising water, solids and asphaltenes, which settles to the bottom of the vessel to be discharged as an underflow. A relatively uniform clarification zone forms above the inlets submerged in the vessel.

Title: Context based video encoding and decoding
Inventor: LEE NIGEL
IPC: H04N19/42
Filed: 2013-02-07
Abstract: A model-based compression codec applies higher-level modeling to produce better predictions than can be found through conventional block-based motion estimation and compensation. Computer- vision-based feature and object detection algorithms identify regions of interest throughout the video datacube. The detected features and objects are modeled with a compact set of parameters, and similar feature/object instances are associated across frames. Associated features/objects are formed into tracks and related to specific blocks of video data to be encoded. The tracking information is used to produce model-based predictions for those blocks of data, enabling more efficient navigation of the prediction search space than is typically achievable through conventional motion estimation methods. A hybrid framework enables modeling of data at multiple fidelities and selects the appropriate level of modeling for each portion of video data.

Patent CA-2870073-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WORSLEY JOHN H
IPC: C01D3/06
Filed: 2014-11-03
Abstract: The present invention provides a process for the manufacture of sodium hydroxide and sodium chloride products from a waste brine stream containing sodium chloride, and at least sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate. The method of this invention comprises converting the sodium carbonate and/or sodium bicarbonate to sodium hydroxide through addition of lime to the brine, while simultaneously converting impurities to less soluble forms to facilitate their removal. The causticized brine is separated from unreacted lime, calcium carbonate and solid impurities to produce clean brine with reduced levels of impurities. The brine is then concentrated by evaporation, forming relatively pure sodium chloride crystals, which are extracted and rinsed to reduce alkali contaminants. The process continues until sodium hydroxide solution strength of about 46-50 % is reached, with cooling of the solution and separation of crystallised salts further reducing impurities to a comparable level to diaphragm cell derived industrial grade sodium hydroxide.
