Patent CA-2427452-A1 (CA)
Title: A device network having selectable targets
Inventor: NARAYANAN AJITH KUMAR
IPC: H04W92/08
Filed: 2001-11-16
Abstract: A device network (10) has target devices (12,14), selecting devices (16) that are movable relative to the target devices (12, 14), and controllers (18). The controllers (18) are in communication with the target devices (12, 14) and the selecting devices (16). Each of the selecting devices (16) has a position sensor and an orientation sensor to provide spatial and angular co-ordinates of position and orientation when pointing to a target device (12 or 14) and upon receiving a user input. Each of the selecting devices (16) also has a signal processor to generate a control signal having the position and orientation data. This control signal is then transmitted by a transmitter, via a radio frequency channel (24a), to a controller (18a). Upon receiving the control signal, the controller (18a) determines whether, for example, a target device (12a) has been selected by a selecting device (16a) by comparison of the orientation data with a derived orientation based on the position data and the known position of the target devices.

Patent CA-2433642-A1 (CA)
Title: Water purifier using ultraviolet radiation
Inventor: ANDERSON JEFFREY J
IPC: C02F1/32
Filed: 2003-06-26
Abstract: A water purifier that has a water container, preferably annular in configuration, within which the water to be purified flows in a continuous stream from an inlet to an outlet within a passageway. A UV emitter, external of the container, directs UV radiation through the water passing through the container.   The passageway is a thin depth such that the UV radiation travels only a short path in penetrating the water and thus is very efficient. The UV source is located in close proximity to a thin wall of the water container to further enhance the efficiency of the UV energy. By such design, the water flows continuously through the water purifier and is purified by the time it exits through the outlet.   There may be a reflective means proximate of on the outer wall of the container that reflects UV energy back toward the water passageway.

Title: Variable stroke engine
Inventor: YAMADA YOSHIKAZU
IPC: F02B75/04
Filed: 2003-11-18
Abstract: A variable stroke engine includes: a connecting rod connected at one end to a piston through a piston pin; a subsidiary arm turnably connected at one end to the other end of the connecting rod and connected to a crankshaft through a crankpin; and a control rod connected at one end to the subsidiary arm at a position displaced from a connection position of the connecting rod; a support position of the other end of the control rod being capable of being displaced in a plane perpendicular to an axis of the crankshaft. In the variable stroke engine, a switchover means switches over: a state in which a high expansion stroke is provided such that the stroke of the piston in an expansion stroke is larger than that in a compression stroke when an engine load is high; and a state in which a constant compression ratio is provided when the engine load is low. Thus, a reduction in fuel consumption is achieved irrespective of the level of an engine load, while putting a high value on a reduction in fuel consumption in a state in which the engine load is low.
