Patent CA-2412680-C (CA)
Inventor: TAKEMASA KOICHIRO
IPC: B60L50/16
Filed: 2002-11-22
Granted: 2004-09-21
Abstract: A hybrid vehicle and a control method of the hybrid vehicle is provided, capable of suppressing discharge of the battery at the time of starting a DC/DC converter and suppressing temporal voltage drop of the battery. When the engine is in the idle state and the power generated by the motor is not sufficient, the motor controller starts the DC/DC converter at a low output voltage state, and the amount of power generated b y the motor is gradually increased at a speed without disturbing the idle rotation of the engine, and when it is determined that the power generation by the motor is sufficiently high by comparing the amount of power generation with the amount of power consumption at the output of the DC/DC converter, the operation mode of the output variable DC/DC convert er is switched from the low voltage mode to the high voltage mode.

Patent CA-2423630-C (CA)
Inventor: BAMDAD CYNTHIA C
IPC: B01J20/285
Filed: 2001-10-03
Granted: 2011-12-06
Abstract: The invention involves methods, assays, and components for the detection and analysis of binding between biological or chemical species, and can specifically be used for drug discovery. In an example where drug discovery is carried out, different candidate drugs can be attached to different articles such as magnetic beads. The beads can be exposed to colloid particles carrying signaling entities, or other signaling entities, immobilized with respect to protein targets of the drug candidates. After incubation, all beads are drawn to separate surface locations magnetically. Beads are released from surface locations where it is determined that signaling entities do not exist, and are removed from the assay. Beads held at other surface locations then are released, re-distributed, and re-attracted to surface locations. This is repeated with appropriate wash steps, until individual drug candidates can be isolated and identified.

Granted: 2010-06-29
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for use in providing real-time, packet-switched service to an end-user over a cable data network. The method begins by transmitting over the cable data network a scheduled grant to an end-user gateway in accordance with an unsolicited grant service protocol. The grant authorizes the end-user gateway to transmit a data packet to a cable modem termination system (CMTS) located in the cable data network. Next, an adjustment is made to the time at which subsequent grants are transmitted. The adjustment, which is based on a response of the end-user gateway, is performed to reduce delay between a time when a subsequent data packet is generated and receipt of the subsequent grant.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé permettant d'extraire de l'énergie. Selon un aspect de cette invention, ledit procédé consiste à utiliser des réactions chimiques pour engendrer des molécules excitées par vibrations (101), telles que des molécules de gaz excitées par vibrations d'un nombre quantique élevé dans une région. L'énergie de vibration dans les molécules excitées par vibrations est convertie en électrons chauds, lorsque les molécules excitées rentrent en contact avec un conducteur (103). Une certaine géométrie est mise en place, de telle manière que les molécules excitées peuvent voyager, se diffuser ou se propager dans un conducteur (103), avant de libérer une fraction utile d'énergie de vibration. Facultativement, ce processus de génération et de conversion peut être séparé thermiquement, du moins partiellement. Les électrons chauds de courte période sont convertis en des entités de période plus longue, telles que des porteurs et des potentiels d'un semi-conducteur, l'énergie étant convertie sous une forme utile.

Granted: 2008-12-09
Abstract: A proofer includes an enclosure defining a chamber. An air circulation system includes a passageway having an air inlet and an air outlet connected to the chamber. A first fan pulls air into the air inlet from the chamber, and expels air from the outlet into the chamber. A fluid reservoir is positioned adjacent the air circulation system, such that air contacting fluid in the reservoir upon actuation of the first fan is humidified. A heating element heats fluid in the fluid reservoir, and a second fan flows air over at least a portion of the reservoir outside the chamber and cools fluid in the reservoir. A controller selectively actuates the heating element and the second fan based upon the temperature and/or humidity in the chamber to control the temperature of the fluid in the reservoir and thereby reduce fluctuations in temperature and humidity within the chamber.
