Patent CA-2499241-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOWARTH JAMES
IPC: H04N13/02
Filed: 2005-03-02
Abstract: An imaging head for an imaging system and a method of obtaining a three-dimensional image with the head and system. The imaging head consists of a digital camera and laser rangefinder fixedly aligned on a common boresight. A rotation stage rotates the camera and rangefinder together as they acquire range and image data of a selected scene. The data is combined to produce the three-dimensional image without the need for a separate calibration process.      The method alows a low resolution scan to be made of a scene and an area to be selected for a high resolution scan. The method also allows a number of scans from different positions to be knitted into a single image to overcome line-of-sight limitations.

Title: Fuel cell system and method for producing electrical energy
Inventor: DYER CHRISTOPHER K
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2003-10-15
Abstract: A fuel cell system has a fuel cell (6) disposed within a fuel cell enclosure (5) for electrochemically combining externally supplied oxygen with hydrogen to produce direct-current electrical energy and water as a reaction product. A  hydrogen-containing fuel (1) such as a chemical hybride contained within a fuel container (2) receives the by-product water and reacts therewith to produce hydrogen, which is supplied to the fuel cell (6) to sustain operation thereof without the need of adding externally supplied hydrogen. The integration of the supply of hydrogen with the fuel cell results in a weight and volume reduction as well as internal chemical control of the production of hydrogen to sustain the electrical power generation and internal water management whereby liquid water emission is substantially reduced.

Title: Power supply testing architecture
Inventor: KIM JIN-KI
IPC: G01R31/40
Filed: 2006-03-27
Abstract: A power supply testing architecture for embedded sub-systems is described, where each embedded sub-system can have at least one testable internal voltage supply. A  plurality of embedded sub-systems are organized into groups, where each group of sub-systems shares a common voltage test line connected to the internal voltage supplies of the sub-systems. Accordingly, the collective internal voltages of each group can be tested in parallel. A power control signal can disable the internal voltage supply of all the sub-systems to allow application of an external power to the common voltage test lines.  Alternately, the sub-systems in each group can be tested sequentially, such that each enabled sub-system of the group has dedicated access to its common voltage test line. In such a scheme, dedicated power control signals are used to independently disable each sub-system of the groups.
