Title: Wind hydro-generator
Inventor: HOFMAN JEAN PIERRE
IPC: F03D9/17
Filed: 2009-08-28
Abstract: The intention is to improve the process of using a hydropneumatic system to generate power from wind energy in the form of kinetic energy transferred to a hydraulic flow, which in turn enables production of electricity by actuating a hydraulic motor/turbine. Basically, the system employs a combination of standard, commercial components which could be built entirely with existing industrial devices but where genuine components are specially designed to better fit with the Process and to make it innovative so that: it works efficiently, where other previous attempts and patents have not been able to prove any real production or remain pure theoretical devices; and so that it works at higher capacity utilizations at lower and higher wind speeds than conventional wind turbine technology. Conceptually, the invention represents a Process referred to as a "Wind Hydro-Generator", which has been developed to use a "Wind Rotor" (the 'Energy Collector') to generate a torque, rather than to simply convert the Wind Power into a rotary motion and exploit the velocity.  The torque is converted directly by a "Hydraulic Generator" into a water flow (therefore comparable to a hydraulic pump) whose kinetic force is stabilized by a "Pressure Vessel" using compressed air to amortize the variances of the gusts of the wind, thus stabilizing and steadying the power delivered by the water flow to the "Hydraulic Motor/Turbine", over reasonable periods of time.

IPC: H04N5/74
Filed: 2009-10-08
Abstract: A repository is created and maintained that receives and stores a plurality of attributes associated with digital components resident at a display complex and associated with particular digital cinema systems within that display complex. These attributes can be accessed by clients which thereafter use that data to securely convey digital content to a particular digital cinema system. Each display complex collects attributes associated with the digital cinema systems resident at the complex and pushes the data to a service module hosted on a server on a wide area network. Upon receiving the attributes corresponding to each digital component of each cinema system, the server conveys the data to a repository for storage. Thereafter, responsive to a request from a client, data needed to securely convey content to a digital cinema system is retrieved from the repository and conveyed to the requesting client.
Patent CA-2684930-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHNEIDER DIETMAR
IPC: G10K11/34
Filed: 2008-04-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for locating a sound projecting target by means of an elongated underwater antenna (10) having a plurality of electroacoustic converters (11), wherein a horizontal target location (ßzk) is determined in the water as the target in a directionally selective manner from the receiving signals of the converters (11), including a measured variable (Cmess) of the acoustic velocity. In order to compensate the systematic location error inherent in such an underwater antenna, which may lead to erroneous locations particularly in the case of greater locating angles, the acoustic radiation course is calculated in the acoustic distribution direction specified by the target location (ßzk) by means of an acoustic distribution model, and a vertical acoustic incident angle (.gamma.k) is determined at the location of the antenna from the acoustic radiation course for an estimated distance and depth of the target. A correction factor is deduced from the vertical acoustic incident angle (Yk), and the measured variable (Cmess) of the acoustic velocity is corrected by multiplying the measured variable by said acoustic incident angle. Locating in turn is carried out using the corrected variable (Ceinstell) of the acoustic velocity, and an improved target location (ßzk) is obtained.
Patent CA-2687810-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHAWGO SHAWN
IPC: H01R9/05
Filed: 2008-04-25
Abstract: A compression connector for smooth walled, corrugated, and spiral corrugated coaxial cable includes an insulator disposed within the body, wherein the insulator contains a central opening therein which is dimensioned smaller than a collet portion, or second clamp, which seizes a center conductor of the coaxial cable. The connector also includes a first clamp disposed inside the body as well as a compression sleeve assembly. The body includes a transitional surface separating the body into two regions of different inside diameter. When an axial force is applied to the compression sleeve, the clamp is forced by the transitional surface into the body region having a smaller diameter, causing the clamp to squeeze onto an outer conductor layer of the coaxial cable. At approximately the same time, the collet portion is forced through the central opening, causing the collet portion to squeeze onto the center conductor.
