Patent CA-2618889-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TIMMERMANS PIETER LEOPOLD
IPC: F17C5/00
Filed: 2006-08-16
Abstract: A method is provided for determining whether a pressure within a capsule is at or above a predetermined value. The capsule to be tested is of the type having a movable sealing element acting as a temporary seal to prevent leakage of gas from a mouth of the capsule. The capsule is connected to a plenum, the pressure of which is subsequently elevated. As the capsule is exposed to this elevated pressure, the pressure within the plenum is monitored. From this monitored pressure, it can be determined whether the sealing element is in sealing contact with the capsule under the elevated pressure. This, in turn, indicates whether the pressure within the capsule is at or above the predetermined value.

Filed: 2007-01-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing locks in a database system is provided. A  master node grants a lock on a first resource and a group of resources that includes the first resource to a first requester node. The requester node receives a mapping corresponding to the group of resources that may indicate that a lock already exists for a second resource in the group.

Title: Abnormality detecting device for a fuel cell powered industrial vehicle
Inventor: TANAKA HIDEYUKI
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2008-08-05
Abstract: An abnormality detecting device for a fuel cell powered industrial vehicle confirms whether a radiator fan is at rest or not (S1), and when the fan is at rest, a first setting concentration N1 is selected and set as an abnormality detection threshold value TH (S2). Conversely, when the fan is driven, a second setting concentration N2 for detecting a lower concentration is selected and set as the abnormality detection threshold value TH (S3). A hydrogen concentration Nm detected by a hydrogen concentration sensor is input (S4), and the input hydrogen concentration Nm is compared with the abnormality detection threshold value TH (S5). If the detected hydrogen concentration Nm is lower than or equal to the abnormality detection threshold value TH, it is determined as normal (S6), and if the detected hydrogen concentration Nm exceeds the abnormality detection threshold value TH, it is determined as abnormal (S7).

Title: Method and apparatus for spacecraft propulsion with a field shield protection
Inventor: SARGOYTCHEV STOYAN
IPC: B64G1/40
Filed: 2008-08-26
Abstract: The propulsion method is based on a gravito-inertial phenomenon predicted by the Basic Structures of Matter - Supergavitation Unified Theory (BSM-SG), the practical demonstration of which is called a Stimulated Anomalous Reaction to the Gravity (SARG) effect. The SARG effect is a unidirectional change of the gravito-inertial mass of an object by modulation the parameters of the physical vacuum. The suggested technique employs an asymmetrical envelope of EM activated neutral plasma. The result is a unique force field distinguished from the reactive jet propulsion by lack of throwing mass and effect of reduced gravito-inertial mass of the spacecraft and the surrounding gas molecules. This means a less power for acceleration and less turbulence when moving in a planetary atmosphere. A small scale SARG effect is verified by laboratory experiments.  A unique field shield protection against micrometeorites, also predicted by BSM-SG  theory, can be achieved by emission of properly space and time correlated EM  field packets and superluminal waves, known also as X-waves.   KEYWORDS: massless propulsion, space drive, field shield, X-waves, three-phase Tesla coil
