Patent CA-2653234-C (CA)
Inventor: JUNELL COREY
IPC: A47L5/38

Granted: 2016-03-29
Abstract: An apparatus for automatically cleaning dirt and debris from a pedestrian's footwear. The apparatus can be an integral portion of the entryway door's threshold or else can be made portable. The pedestrian steps upon a removable tray and activates a vacuum source. The vacuum source pulls the dirt and debris from the pedestrian's footwear through a multitude of openings in the removable tray. The dirt and debris is captured within the tray (large particles) and debris collection container (smaller particles) for later disposal. The apparatus cleans the welts and also provides a means for drying wet footwear. The apparatus can be either AC or DC powered and can be automated to only operate when a pedestrian is standing upon the tray, can operate continuously, or can be manually switched on and off.

Abstract: The invention features a system (30) and approach for minimizing the step voltage change as seen by the utility customer as well minimizing transients imposed on the fundamental waveform of a normal voltage carried on a utility power network when a reactive power source (31) (e.g., capacitor bank) is instantaneously connected to the utility power network. The reactive power source (31) is adapted to transfer reactive power of a first polarity (e.g., capacitive reactive power) to the utility power network. The system includes a reactive power compensation device (32, 44, 52) configured to transfer a variable quantity of reactive power of a second, opposite polarity to the utility power network, and a controller (60) which, in response to the need to connect the shunt reactive power source (31) to the utility power network, activates the reactive power compensation device (32, 44, 55) and, substantially simultaneously, causes the shunt reactive power source (31) to be connected to the utility power.

Abstract: A smartcard or other media detects the presence of chemical, biological, radiation, and/or explosive (CBRE) compounds or other items of interest on individuals handling the smartcard or other media. The exposure is stored such that, when the card is presented to a reader, the detection data is transmitted to the reader for appropriate processing by the system. In one embodiment, this invention provides a detection methodology which captures the fact that the holder of the detection device has been in contact with an item of interest without external power. The detector card is then able to alert appropriate authorities of that exposure when the device is presented to a reader in the normal course of the holder's business.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for routing callers to agents in a call-center routing environment. An exemplary method includes identifying caller data for at least one caller in a queue of callers, and skipping a caller at the front of the queue of callers for another caller based on the identified caller data.

Abstract: An optical modulation system includes a metamaterial structure configured to receive and process an input optical signal at at least one operational wavelength, where the metamaterial structure changes between a transmissive state and a non- transmissive state with respect to the optical signal(s) at the operational wavelength(s) in response to an external stimulus applied to the metamaterial structure. An external stimulus source is coupled with the metamaterial structure and is configured to change the metamaterial structure between its transmissive and non-transmissive states by applying selected stimulus pulses to the metamaterial structure. The optical modulation system processes the input optical signal to output a modulated optical signal that modulates in correspondence with the selected pulses applied to the metamaterial structure.
