Patent CA-2544623-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WASILEWSKI ANTHONY J
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 2004-06-18
Abstract: The present invention is directed towards providing a partial dual-encrypted stream in a conditional access overlay system. The headend equipment includes an aligner, identifier, and remapper (AIR) device (615) that receives a clear stream and one or two encrypted streams, where the two encrypted streams have been encrypted by two different encryption schemes. The AIR device (615) identifies critical packets associated with the clear stream and subsequently allows two encrypted streams to pass and drops the critical packets of the clear stream. A multiplexer (640) then combines a percentage of the non-critical packets of the clear stream and the critical packets of the two encrypted streams to provide the partial dual-encrypted stream.
Patent CA-2545300-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SEIDENSTICKER JENS
IPC: F42C17/04
Filed: 2006-04-28
Abstract: To avoid mechanical and thermodynamic wear of a programming system, a microwave transmitter, preferably operating in the GHz range, is integrated in the system, while at the same time the advantages of measurement of the muzzle velocity and of a current compensated fuse setting are preserved. The microwave transmitter transmits the current fuse setting, for example, as determined by a fire control computer, to the ammunition, e.g., a projectile. A direct measurement of the actual muzzle velocity itself can be dispensed with, since the real muzzle velocity is determined by the current flight velocity information of the projectile, i.e., it is extrapolated back from this. On the basis of this current projectile velocity, the ignition time, which was preset with the ignition time of the projectile using a standard muzzle velocity, is corrected and used as the current fuse set time.

Abstract: An apparatus for air conditioning the interior of a structure is shown which can be run entirely off a DC power source, such as a storage battery. A shell and tube heat exchanger is combined with a mechanical refrigeration system to provide a wet shell side and a dry tube side of the apparatus. In the operation of the air conditioner, a mass of distributed water is established on the wet shell side, and a flow of ambient air is passed through the dry tube side and a resulting stream of dry cooled air is recovered. The streams of most and cooled air can either be combined or routed separately depending primarily upon the humidity of the surrounding environment to be cooled.
Patent CA-2584770-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARDSLEY JAMES E
IPC: F24J3/08
Filed: 2007-04-04
Abstract: An energy transfer system is provided for commercial and industrial refrigeration and air conditioning applications. Cold is extracted from underground using a borehole drilled into overburden materials and bedrock, typically 150 to 180 m in depth, as a coaxial energy exchanger.  Water is conveyed to the bottom of the borehole by pumping through a concentric middle tube, with return to the top via the spacing between the inner tube and the borehole.  Heat is lost and cold is gained by the circulating fluid along the length of the heat exchanger. The major innovation in this system is the ability to transfer and store cold energy in the temperature range from 0 to 8 C for a prescribed period of time, without the use of refrigerants, due to the low borehole thermal resistance of the coaxial design. Other improvements include lower drilling costs and easier installation.
