Patent CA-2789673-A1 (CA)
Title: Haptic apparatus and techniques for quantifying capability thereof
Inventor: BIGGS SILMON JAMES
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2011-02-15
Abstract: A computer-implemented method of quantifying the capability of a haptic system. The haptic system comprises an actuator. The computer comprises a processor, a memory, and an input/output interface for receiving and transmitting information to and from the processor. The computer provides an environment for simulating the mechanics of the haptic system, determining the performance of the haptic system, and determining a user sensation produced by the haptic system in response to an input to the haptic system. In accordance with the computer- implemented method, an input command is received by a mechanical system module that simulates a haptic system where the input command represents an input pressure applied to the haptic system. A displacement is produced by the mechanical system module in response to the input command. The displacement is received by an intensity perception module. The displacement is mapped to a sensation experienced by a user by the intensity perception module and the sensation experienced by the user in response to the input command is produced.

Title: Dynamic and selective management of integration points using performance metrics
Inventor: NIGUL LEHO
IPC: G06F11/30
Filed: 2012-10-05
Abstract: An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented process for dynamic management of integration points connects a set of applications to a communication interconnect fabric to form a set of connections, wherein each of application in the set of applications is interconnected and each individual connection has a set of integration paths defined including a default path.

Abstract: A passive vent for venting a building enclosure having an opening in a roof portion, the vent being adjustable for mounting on roof portions of different slopes. The vent has a base pivotally attached to a vent structure with a pair of pivot joints. The vent structure has a collar attached to a vent body having a cover. At least one gas permeable screen is positioned on the vent body between the cover and the collar. The base comprises a lower attachment structure for attaching the base to the roof portion over the opening. An aperture through the lower attachment structure permits gas to pass in to and out of the opening in the roof portion through the base. A wall including a pair of opposed curvilinear wall sections surrounds the aperture. The pivot joints define a pivot axis about which the vent structure pivots along a range of angles relative to the base. The collar is sized and shaped to overlap portions of the aperture surrounding wall to maintain a continuous wall between the collar and the aperture surrounding wall along the range of angles. At least one securement means secures the vent structure in one of the range of angles relative to the base.

Title: Subterranean reservoir treatment method
Inventor: MAKARYCHEV-MIKHAILOV SERGEY MIKHAILOVICH
IPC: E21B43/22
Filed: 2010-04-27
Abstract: A method is given for heterogeneous proppant placement in fracturing by in situ aggregation of fine mesh proppant particulates or other materials such as fibers in a subterranean fracture. A polymer is injected into a subterranean formation and is subsequently subjected to a chemical reaction, for example hydrolysis, under downhole conditions, which leads to formation of either a cationic or an anionic polyelectrolyte. Alternatively, the polyelectrolyte is synthesized downhole by, for example, a Hofmann degradation or a Mannich reaction. The polyelectrolyte acts as a flocculant and provides aggregation of solid particulates such as sand, mica, silica flour, ceramics and the like, which leads to formation of proppant micropillars deep in the fracture. Methods of aggregation of fibers to enhance bridging, and other applications of controlled flocculation are also given.
