Abstract: A method for the protection of double circuit electrical power lines (IL-1, IL-2) protected by local and remote circuit breakers (BS1, BS2, RR1, RR2, BR3, BR4, BR5).  The method is performed by a local protection apparatus (RS1/RS2 or RS12) and comprises sensing electrical quantities measured at the local end of both circuits of the double circuit lines, monitoring the sensed electrical quantities to detect occurrence of a fault (F1 or F2 or F3), delaying operation of the local circuit breakers (BS1, BS2) on both circuits (IL-1, IL-2) for a time period sufficient to allow detection of operation of a remote circuit breaker (BR1, BR2 or BR3, BR4, BR5) by its effect on the electrical quantities on both circuits, and if the effect of a fault on a circuit of the double circuit line persists after remote circuit breaker operation, triggering operation of a local circuit breaker (BS1 or BS2) to isolate the fault.
Patent CA-2415499-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EANES WILLIAM R
IPC: G06F13/10
Filed: 2002-12-31
Abstract: To optically scan a patient's feet for the purpose of obtaining measurements useful to constructing orthotics, each foot should be scanned while the patient is standing naturally. A logical apparatus for this purpose is one with two scanners, side by side, packaged as a single unit. The scanners would (again, logically) be identical.     However, connecting two identical peripheral devices to a computer creates identification difficulties. It is also prudent to minimize the number of communications ports the apparatus uses. To connect two identical optical scanners to a single communications port (such as a Universal Serial Bus port), a switch is employed, for switching the communications port between each scanner; or a USB hub arbitrates the communications between the computer and each scanner. A  time delay is used to separate the scans of each scanner in time, so the computer's software can differentiate between the scan of the first foot and the scan of the second foot.

Abstract: The invention aims at isolating the foundations and the remaining part of the building from the earthquake. The antiseismic plates ( 2) are hermetic containers divided into two parts. Vacuum has been produced in part "B" so that most of the longitudinal or primary seismic waves propagating through the solids and fluids are cancelled. A pressurized liquid has been introduced into part "A" to cancel the transversal or secondary waves that propagate through the solids. "F1" is the lateral force of the surface seismic wave acting upon the plate and producing a pressure on the liquid pressing against the base (1) with nil results. "F4" is the decompensation of the faces pressing against the ground. The invention can be used in all types of foundations and large surfaces to preserve infrastructures, etc. It can alternatively be used for conical bases, buried walls, beam supports, etc.
