IPC: C01B32/50
Filed: 2008-07-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the deoxygenation in a chemical loop of smokes resulting from oxidation-combustion reactions, that comprises: a first step during which the smokes are stripped from their oxygen by trapping the same by the oxidation of an oxygen-carrier material, thus producing a main flow of smokes with a reduced oxygen content; and a second step for also producing smokes that can join the main smoke flow and during which the material oxidized during the first step is reduced and regenerated by reaction with the fuel in order to be used again during said step. The invention also relates to an apparatus for implementing said method.

Abstract: A social network allows its members to regulate what data is accessible to other members using one or more privacy settings. A particular member of the social network can modify the one or privacy settings to grant or deny different users access to different data. When a member modifies a privacy setting, the social network determines which information pathways communicating data between members are affected. The affected information pathways are then modified responsive to the privacy setting to communicate data identified by the modified privacy setting and enforce the new privacy restrictions.

IPC: H04L67/54
Filed: 2007-12-04
Abstract: A method in a communication network of delivering messages associated with an information exchange service. A message, to be delivered between two entities is interrogated to determining if the data content has already been delivered to the terminating entity. If the data content has not already been delivered to the second entity, the message is transmitted to the second entity unchanged, while the message is modified, so that the modified message comprises a data identifier, identifying the data content, but no data content. The modified message is then transmitted to the terminating entity, and the data identifier is cached together with the associated data content when a successful transmission of the message has been verified. The suggested versioning mechanism enables transmission of messages with a reduced size.
Patent CA-2712383-A1 (CA)
Inventor: IBERT CHRISTOPHE
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2008-12-16
Abstract: The present invention provides a solution for maintaining and improving the specifications of the conducted susceptibility of a microwave channel. The main advantage of the invention is to provide a significant attenuation of the parasite modulated signals (PAR4) conveyed in the microwave channels of microwave devices such as those integrated into satellites, by simply adding one or more 180° phase shifters (PHI) between the components (CRF1,CRF2) that do not have a sufficient conducted susceptibility performance. Consequently, the invention makes it possible to omit certain elements in charge of attenuating parasitic signals and generally integrated in the power supplies and other DC/DC converters (ALIM1) present in all current microwave apparatuses.

Title: Wind turbine
Inventor: HATTON MARK
IPC: F03D3/06
Filed: 2010-09-24
Abstract: A wind turbine has a vertical axis and three vertically oriented blades attached to a central hub by struts radially depending from the hub. The hub, struts and blades are preferably made from a composite material. In one embodiment the strut comprises an aerofoil shape.  The blades are tilted from the vertical axis by a predetermined amount. The blade tips are further displaced along the rotational hub of the turbine by a predetermined amount. The blades are further twisted a predetermined amount about their centre-lines. The result is an aesthetically pleasing design that is much quieter than conventional vertical and horizontal axis turbines. The resulting turbine is also animal friendly resulting in fewer bird injuries.
