Patent CA-2703309-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FATTOREL CLAUDIO
IPC: H05B3/42
Filed: 2010-05-05
Abstract: The electric heater for clothes drying devices, object of the present invention, does not require the large dimensions currently required to provide high powers. Moreover, the particular shape of the resistive element reduces the vibrations transmitted to the apparatus and, therefore, the noise perceived by the user. The particular zigzag shape of the heater determines a lesser tendency for dust to be deposited on the heating element and increases safety against short circuits in case of filament breaking and/or wire deformation occurring when the same is subjected to high operating temperatures.
Patent CA-2704039-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SANDERFORD H BRITTON
IPC: H04L23/02
Filed: 2002-03-29
Abstract: A cellular wireless packet data communication system containing transmit-only endpoint device (HA40, HA50) which transmit to receive-only base stations (B1, B2, BN).  The system is configured to allow for large area coverage (e.g., a metropolitan area) with far fewer number base stations than are required with conventional two-way cellular systems.  The base station coverage areas are configured to overlap, allowing for reception of packets at multiple base stations. A data concentrator (HA60) resolves redundantly received messages.  The network is configurable as a WAN, a LAN, or a combination of the two. Novel modulation techniques (e.g., a 16QAM submodulation together with a 7FSK modulation) are used such that low cost components can be used in the transmitters and receivers while achieving outstanding probability of success performance. The endpoint devices are battery operated and accordingly, are designed for low power consumption and multi-year battery life. The system is used in a variety of applications including remote monitoring and mobile communications.

Title: Method of improving isolation between circuits on a printed circuit board
Inventor: GIBSON ADAM W
IPC: H01R24/58
Filed: 2010-05-13
Abstract: A method of improving electrical isolation between a first circuit and a second circuit sharing a common substrate having an effective dielectric constant greater than that of air. The first and second circuits are spaced apart and separated from one another by an intermediate portion of the substrate. The method includes removing a portion of the intermediate portion to replace the portion removed with air thereby reducing the effective dielectric constant of the intermediate portion. By reducing the effective dielectric constant of the intermediate portion, electrical isolation between the first and second circuits is improved thereby reducing crosstalk between the first and second circuits. In particular implementations, the method may be used to reduce alien crosstalk between adjacent communication outlets in a patch panel.
