Patent CA-2233996-C (CA)
Inventor: FULLWOOD DAVID TOD
IPC: H02K7/02
Filed: 1996-10-01
Granted: 2004-12-14
Abstract: An energy storage and conversion apparatus (1) comprising a containment (5) defining a vacuum chamber (7), a support shaft (9) within the vacuum chamber (7), a stator (11) on the shaft (9) and a cylindrical rotor (13) which, in use, is driven by the stator (11) to store energy as kinetic energy of the rotor (13) and acts with the stator (11) as a generator to release energy, wherein the rotor (13) is supported by the shaft (9) via an end cap (29) which, as the rotor (13) speed increases, deflects from a conical shape towards a planar shape. As a result, failure of the apparatus (1) does not occur when the rotor (13) expands due to centrifugal forces. Further, the position of the rotor (13) relative to the stator (11) and magnetic bearing on the shaft (9) is kept essentially constant, even if the length of the rotor (13) decreases due to Poisson effects.

Title: Magnetic particle damper apparatus
Inventor: SADLER STANLEY G
IPC: B64C27/51
Filed: 1998-11-24
Granted: 2006-08-01
Abstract: A magnetic particle damper apparatus is provided for damping motion between two relatively movable members.      The damper apparatus comprises first and second conductor members each attachable to one of the relatively movable members. The conductor members are disposed with confronting surfaces having a gap therebetween filled with a quantity of magnetic particles. A magnetic element is attached to one of the conductor members, producing magnetic flux which is substantially confined to a magnetic flux path defined by relatively magnetically permeable regions and relatively magnetically non-permeable regions of the conductor members to flow across the gap and through the magnetic particles. The magnetic field causes the magnetic particles along the flux path to adhere to one another and to the confronting surfaces of the conductor members producing a force opposing relative motion between said movable members and dissipating energy when the conductor members move relative to one another.

Patent CA-2296182-C (CA)
Inventor: BURNS EMMETT R
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 1994-10-03
Granted: 2000-12-19
Abstract: A multimedia collaboration system that integrates separate real-time and asynchronous networks--the former for real-time audio and video, and the latter for control signals and textual, graphical and other data~in a manner that is interoperable across different computer and network operating system platforms and which closely approximates the experience of face-to-face collaboration, while liberating the participants from the limitations of time and distance. These capabilities are achieved by exploiting a variety of hardware, software and networking technologies in a manner that preserves the quality and integrity of audio/video/data and other multimedia information, even after wide area transmission, and at a significantly reduced networking cost as compared to what would be required by presently known approaches. The system architecture is readily scalable to the largest enterprise network environments. It accommodates differing levels of collaborative capabilities available to individual users and permits high-quality audio and video capabilities to be readily superimposed onto existing personal computers and workstations and their interconnecting LANs and WANs. In a particular preferred embodiment, a plurality of geographically dispersed multimedia LANs are interconnected by a WAN. The demands made on the WAN are significantly reduced by employing mufti-hopping techniques, including dynamically avoiding the unnecessary decompression of data at intermediate hops, and exploiting video mosaicing, cut-and-paste and audio mixing technologies so that significantly fewer wide area transmission paths are required while maintaining the high quality of the transmitted audio/video.
