Patent CA-2705814-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DUNN WILLIAM R
IPC: G02F1/1333
Filed: 2008-11-17
Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to various thermal control features for electronic displays. One feature comprises a closed loop isolated gas chamber, where a first chamber is in contact with the display surface and transfers heat between the isolated gas and the display surface. A second chamber is in gaseous communication with the first chamber and is adapted to heat or cool the isolated gas and reintroduce the isolated gas into the first chamber.  Another feature uses constricted convection to facilitate the cooling of the backlight assembly for the electronic display. Another feature uses an air curtain to further heat or cool the exterior viewing surface of the display. Another feature uses a linear polarizer with an insulating gap to reduce the solar loading of the display stack and provide insulation from the ambient air temperature. Another feature uses a fluid system to contact fluid coolant with the display surface in order to cool the display. Each of the features may be used alone, or in combination to provide the proper operating temperature for the display depending on its desired operating environment.

Patent CA-2708814-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JACOBSON JAMES D
IPC: G01L7/00
Filed: 2008-12-17
Abstract: A differential pressure based flow sensor assembly and method of using the same to determine the rate of fluid flow in a fluid system. The sensor assembly comprises a disposable portion, and a reusable portion. A flow restricting element is positioned along a fluid flow passage between an inlet and an outlet. The disposable portion further has an upstream fluid pressure membrane and a downstream fluid pressure membrane. The reusable portion has an upstream fluid pressure sensor and a downstream fluid pressure sensor. The upstream fluid pressure sensor senses the upstream fluid pressure at a location within the fluid flow passage between the inlet and the flow restricting element. The downstream fluid pressure sensor senses the downstream fluid pressure at a location within the fluid flow passage between the flow restricting element and the outlet. The process utilizes output of the sensors to calculate the flow rate of the fluid.

Patent CA-2710528-A1 (CA)
Inventor: AUGUSTINE JODY R
IPC: E21B43/00
Filed: 2008-12-10
Abstract: Production of liquids into a production string is regulated at inlets to the production string. An annular space is defined between a base pipe and a surrounding screen. The base pipe has inlets near one end of the screen and an overlaying shroud that spans over the screen and the inlet to the base pipe so as to define a restricted annular path to the base pipe opening and within the screen. A porous material is placed in the annular space and extends over the base pipe opening. If gas with liquid is produced, the gas having a lower density and viscosity preferentially gets through the porous media while the denser and more viscous water or other liquid is kept out due to greater resistance to flow offered by the porous media.
