Title: Method and system for distribution of computer and entertainment information
Inventor: THOMAS CHRISTOPHER L
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2011-01-28
Abstract: Methods and systems provide for the distribution of both computer and home entertainment information. Computer and home entertainment audio-visual sources are distributed to displays throughout a house, and any of the sources can be viewed from any of the displays. Computers and televisions are integrated while allowing the computers and the televisions to be located in separate rooms of the house, thereby minimizing the need to co-locate items or to install additional wiring. The computer and home entertainment sources may be located in a single area and distributed to various receivers throughout the house. Multiple users may share any given information source. The entertainment and computer sources are connected to a single information hub that distributes the various source signals to remote receivers. Users may view any of the sources from any receiver in the house, and multiple different users may view different sources from any receivers in the house.
Patent CA-2791097-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHEN BILL
IPC: A61F9/007

Abstract: An intraocular lens (IOL) injection device is modularized to enable cleaning of internal components after surgery. The device includes first and second housing modules. These modules collectively define a passageway along which an injector rod moves between a retracted position and an extended position. The first module is further configured to accommodate a lens cartridge module. The cartridge module has disposed therein an IOL, in alignment with the passageway. Thus as the rod moves from the retracted position to the extended position, a front portion of the rod that is substantially surrounded by the first module in the retracted position moves into the cartridge module and displaces the IOL. This causes the front portion of the rod to accumulate on it viscoelastic substances. The first module, though, is configured to detach from the second module, to thereby expose the front portion of the rod in the retracted position for cleaning.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pitch drive device (10) capable of emergency operation for adjusting a rotor blade pitch of a wind or water power plant. The pitch drive device (10) comprises an inverter device (14) and a three-phase current drive motor. The drive motor is implemented as a three-phase IPM synchronous motor (12) (Interior Permanent Magnet). A direct current power storage device (20) can advantageously be substantially directly connected to an intermediate direct current circuit (18), at least for emergency operation, between a rectifier device (16) and the inverter device (14) for at least briefly supplying power to the synchronous motor (12), so that the IPM synchronous motor (12) can be operated at least briefly under speed control when the intermediate circuit voltage UZK is falling. The invention enables speed-controlled emergency operation of the pitch drive device at high torque when an intermediate circuit voltage UZK is falling in emergency operation, wherein the direct current energy storage device can, for example, improve the efficiency as an energy buffer, and reduce current transfer via the rotor slip ring.
