Patent CA-2503031-A1 (CA)
Title: Directional antenna
Inventor: GOTHARD GRIFFIN K
IPC: H01Q21/06
Filed: 2003-10-28
Abstract: A directional antenna having a number, N, of outlying monopole antenna elements. These monopole elements are formed as a first upper conductive segment on a portion of a dielectric substrate. The array also includes the same number, N, of image elements. The image elements are formed as a second set of lower conductive segments on the same substrate as the upper conductive segments. The image elements, generally having the same length and shape as the monopole elements, are connected to a ground reference potential. To complete the array, an active antenna element is also disposed of the same substrate, adjacent to at least one of the monopole elements. In a preferred arrangement, the passive monopole elements and corresponding image elements are selectively connected to operate to in either a reflective or directive mode, such as via a switchable coupling circuit that selectively changes the impedances connected between them.

Title: Hybrid vehicle
Inventor: OKADA YOSHIO
IPC: B60L50/16
Filed: 2004-08-13
Abstract: A hybrid vehicle is provided in which, since the driving force of a generator/motor (M1) is transmitted to the downstream side of an output shaft (17) of a transmission (T) without going through an input shaft (16) thereof and the output shaft (17), it is possible to carry out the so-called leg shaft drive, which prevents the driving force of the generator/motor (M1) from dragging along an engine (E), the input shaft (16), and the output shaft (17), thus reducing power consumption and enhancing energy recovery efficiency during regenerative braking. Furthermore, since the generator/motor (M1) is disposed at a position sandwiched between the engine (E) and the transmission (T), it is possible to employ the same layout for the generator/motor (M1) as for a conventional sandwiched generator/motor type, and the leg shaft drive system can be employed without greatly modifying the design of the transmission (T).

Title: Inertisation method for reducing the risk of fire
Inventor: WAGNER ERNST-WERNER
IPC: A62C99/00
Filed: 2004-11-23
Abstract: The invention relates to an inertisation method for reducing the risk of fire in an enclosed protected area in the event of a malfunction of the inert gas primary source of a fire prevention installation or inert gas fire extinguisher. The aim of the invention is to maintain the oxygen content in the protected area for a determined amount of time at a set concentration below an operating concentration, such that the emergency operating phase is fundamentally sufficiently long that an ignition or re-ignition of the combustible materials in the protected area is prevented. According to the first form of embodiment, the set concentration for an emergency operating period is maintained by means of a secondary source redundant of the primary source. In a second form of embodiment, the set concentration and the operating concentration are fundamentally dropped so far below the design concentration fixed for the protected area in order to create a failure safety margin, that, if the primary source fails, the growth curve of the oxygen content only reaches a limiting concentration determined for the protected area in a pre-determined period of time that is sufficiently long that the ignition or re-ignition of the combustible materials in the protected area is effectively prevented.
