Patent CA-2137483-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MAZZARELLI SAMUEL G
IPC: B60J11/00
Filed: 1994-12-07
Abstract: A protective cover for an object being transported in an airstream comprises a flexible cover member adapted to cover the object.  The cover has front and rear ends, a top, two sides, and a bottom providing an opening to fit over the object.  The cover member also has at least one exhaust aperture intermediate its ends with a venting member disposed over it.  The bottom of the cover member is seated around the periphery of the object to reduce the airflow thereinto.  The venting member has a base portion secured to the cover member about the aperture, and a body portion extending outwardly therefrom.  The body portion has a closed end oriented towards the front end of the cover member and an open end disposed toward the rear end of the cover member.  The body portion also provides a passage from the aperture to the open end, whereby negative air pressure is created at the open end by the flow of the airstream over the venting member and air is exhausted from the interior of the cover to cause the cover to seat snugly about the surface of the object about which it is fitted.

Patent CA-2143230-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and device for non-interlace scan detection and field elimination
Inventor: MARTIN ALIX
IPC: H04N7/00
Filed: 1995-02-23
Abstract: A method for determining which of similar video fields may be excised to enhance video signal compression evaluates parameters of four successive fields denoted 0, 1, 2, and 3. Accumulated differences d(0, 2) and d(1,3) of corresponding pixels in successive frames are generated. In addition a determination is made whether fields 1 and 2 exhibit interlace characteristics. If they do not exhibit interlaced characteristics, a comparison is made of d(0, 2) and d(1, 3). If d(0, 2) is less than d(1, 3) by a predetermined amount, field 2 is excised from the signal stream and a code is generated to condition a receiver to display two of the remaining four fields in a three field interval.      Subsequently the latter two fields of the set of 0, 1, 2 and 3 fields, and the next two occurring fields are similarly analyzed.

Inventor: KLONTZ KEITH W
IPC: H02J17/00
Filed: 1993-10-20
Abstract: A contactless power transfer system (30, 30", 150, 300, 400), especially for powering underwater electric loads (34, 34', 34", 306, 314, 315, 316, 434), including movable loads, such as underwater vehicles (308, 310), elevators (173), or worksite equipement (34", 306). A converter (38, 174, 177, 338, 432) supplies high frequency power to a conductor loop (40, 165, 175, 340, 440). A coupling sheath or link (50, 50", 150, 350, 450) has a core-mounted conductor (60, 160, 460) at least partially surrounded by a magnetic core (52, 452) which slidably receives a portion of the conductor loop within the link. An optional secondary converter (44, 175, 177, 344) converts power from the core-mounted conductor to meet the load requirements. A contactless power distribu-tion system is also submersible to deliver power to underwater loads through clamped-on or captive links attached at any location along the conductor loop. Methods are also provided of powering loads, including those submersed in water, including seawater, or other non-magnetic liquid mediums.
Patent CA-2147297-A1 (CA)
Title: Ventilateur de toits
Inventor: RHEAULT ANDRE
IPC: F24F13/22
Filed: 1995-04-19
Abstract: This static ventilator is made with three  parts: 1) a hollow housing,  triangular   shaped with  circumferential  sidewalls  and louvers attached to the outside  walls, 2) a triangular shaped base fixed  to  the roof and 3)  a cap at the top.      The  hollow  housing  is  the  part  that  actually   does the ventilation.   Each of  its  louvers is inclined downwards and out and comes   with  a  piece of filter  material preventing anything  from entering  the vent openings and allowing  the air to circulate.      The  triangular shape of the hollow housing allows the wind to slide  laterally along each side of the ventilator and prevents any snow or debris accumulation at  the base and on the louvers of the ventilator.      In order to  secure the hollow housing to the roof surface, a triangular shaped  piece serves as a base where the hollow housing is inserted.  This  base also lets the condensed water flow  out of the hollow housing.      The cap seals the hollow  housing  and prevents anything  from falling  straight  into  the ventilator.

IPC: G06F12/06
Filed: 1995-10-13
Abstract: A computer system that has two buses with different memory addressing capacitiesand a first bus master that generates M-bit addresses is provided with a bridge between the two buses. In order to generate N-bit addresses for use on the second bus, a direct memory access (DMA) controller on the bridge produces P bits, where P + M = N. The P bits are concentrated with the M bits to form an N-bit address used on the second bus to address memory. The addition of P bits reallocates the memory segment addressable by the M-bits to any location within the memory map addressable by an N-bit address.

Title: Method and apparatus for separating non-soluble particles from a liquid
Inventor: DUFOUR RENEAU
IPC: B01D17/035
Filed: 1996-03-21
Abstract: Disclosed is a clarifier for use in treating a liquid containing non-soluble particles in suspension in order to separate these particles from the liquid. It comprises a tank, a liquid supply duct opening into the bottom portion of the tank and an injector for injecting a gas under pressure into at least part of liquid supplied to the supply duct in order to saturate this liquid with said gas and thus to generate gas bubbles as the saturated liquid is subject to depressurization within the tank. The gas bubbles that are so- generated adhere to the particles in suspension in the liquid and lift them up to form a floating layer of sludge in the top portion of the tank. A scraper is provided in the top portion of the tank for skimming off the layer of sludge while it is formed. A plurality of plates extend at an angle within the tank above the supply duct. These plates define a set of upwardly inclined channels each having an upper end that is opened and through which the liquid fed into the tank may enter the channel. A liquid outlet mounted within the lower end of each channel to collect and remove from the tank the liquid that has been treated within the same. Thanks to its shape and structure, this clarifier occupies a surface area on the ground that is 50% or less smaller than any known clarifier of the same capacity. Its structure also permits to maintain much more microbubbles of requested size for a same amount of injected air in order to increase the probability of contact between the particles and the air bubbles.
