Patent CA-2810827-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAGARAJAN RAMASWAMY
IPC: G01B15/06
Filed: 2010-09-07
Abstract: Wireless strain and displacement sensors wirelessly monitor structural health and integrity, and are made by printing inductor-interdigital capacitor sensing circuits on a variety of substrates, including ceramic substrates, with thermally processable conductive inks. Sensors of the invention can be employed to detect strain and displacement of civil structures, such as bridges and buildings. The sensors include sensing elements that are mounted or printed on stiff, inflexible substrates, which prevent the sensing elements from bending, stretching, or otherwise warping when the sensor is strained. An interlayer between the sensing elements allows the sensing elements to move with respect to each other during application of strain. Thus, strain causes the sensing elements to move but not to deform, causing changes in sensor resonance that can be detected through wireless radio-frequency interrogation. Because the sensing elements do not change shape when under strain, the sensor can undergo millions of measurement cycles before breaking.

Title: Controlled operation of a led lighting system at a target output color
Inventor: SISTO MARCO MICHELE
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2013-07-19
Abstract: A method for operating a LED lighting system having three or more LED emitters of different colors is provided. The method allows finding the optimal drive setting for each LED emitter of the system, taking into account a specific target color. The method involves providing calibration data for each LED emitter at a plurality of values of drive setting and junction temperature, and executing a drive recursion loop calculating the drive setting of each emitter based on an input value for the temperature of each emitter and in view of the target output color and of the calibration data. Advantageously, this can be accomplished without measuring the color emitted by the LED lighting system, that is, no color feedback is required. A LED lighting system implementing the method is also disclosed.

Patent CA-2837836-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TAMATSU YOSHIJI
IPC: F03B17/06
Filed: 2011-06-07
Abstract: A vertical axis type wind/water turbine mainly consists of rotationally symmetric vanes which are secured at both ends thereof to supporting plates, the vane being made up of several blades, the blade having one vertical side being attached to a blade rotating shaft, the other free side being individually allowed to rotate freely in the shape of a sector between both the adjacent blade rotating shafts. When the vane of the wind/water turbine is convex against a wind/water flow, the blades are pushed and opened by the wind/water flow to reduce rotational resistance. When the vane is further rotated to be concave, the blades block between the blade rotating shafts and allow the entire face of the vane to be subjected to a wind/water pressure, providing a high rotational force with the rotational resistance reduced. To avoid risk, the foot of all the blades can be only wound around or retreated to the blade rotating shaft to make the horizontal sides of the blade shorter than the interval between both the adjacent blade rotating shafts. This allows the blades to freely rotate 360 degrees about the blade rotating shaft to lose the rotational force of the wind/water turbine, thereby significantly reducing the overall resistance and thus making it possible to avoid risk.

The DFN includes fracture branches with intersections therebetween and matrix blocks. The method also involves generating a depth of drainage through the DFN, defining production parameter (s), and performing a production operation to produce fluids from the subterranean formation based on the depth of drainage and the production parameter (s). The production operation may involve generating a flow rate through the DFN, generating a pressure profile of the DFN for an initial time based on the flow rate, and generating a production rate based on the pressure profile.
