Patent CA-2696226-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHEN FRANKLIN F K
IPC: F03D3/04
Filed: 2010-03-09
Abstract: A wind turbine system includes a kite positioned upstream to a turbine to direct wind to the turbine, thereby increasing revolutions per minutes and power output of the turbine. Embodiments of the invention increase the wind turbine power output by increasing the volume of airflow directed at a turbine impellor. For new turbine construction, embodiments also allow for a lower placement of the turbine by scooping and directing air stream to the lower placed turbine. The advantage of a lower placed turbine is the cost difference between the support structure for wind turbine and that for the wind kite, estimated to be in favor of a wind kite support structure.

Title: A method to measure and characterize microvesicles in the human body fluids
Inventor: FAIS STEFANO
IPC: G01N33/574
Filed: 2009-01-26
Abstract: This disclosure provides a method to capture, detect, characterize and quantify human exosomes in small volumes of human body fluids by using a sandwich ELISA test. This method allows a full characterization of an exosome preparation, thus providing a tool to distinguish a disease-related condition from a healthy state, by the use of a non-invasive assay. In fact, this method may be useful in either screening, diagnosis and prognosis of tumors, with a simple plasma sample. At the same time measurement of circulating exosomes may provide information on the level of tumor mass present in a patient. The method provided here is suitable to evaluate presence of some infectious and/or transmissible agents, such as viral proteins or prion proteins, within circulating exosomes.

Title: Radial counterflow shear electrolysis
Inventor: MCCUTCHEN WILMOT H
IPC: C25D17/00
Filed: 2009-02-09
Abstract: Coaxial disk armatures, counter-rotating through an axial magnetic field, act as electrolysis electrodes and high shear centrifugal impellers for an axial feed. The feed can be carbon dioxide, water, methane, or other substances requiring electrolysis. Carbon dioxide and water can be processed into syngas and ozone continuously, enabling carbon and oxygen recycling at power plants. Within the space between the counter-rotating disk electrodes, a shear layer comprising a fractal tree network of radial vortices provides sink flow conduits for light fractions, such as syngas, radially inward while the heavy fractions, such as ozone and elemental carbon flow radially outward in boundary layers against the disks and beyond the disk periphery, where they are recovered as valuable products, such as carbon nanotubes.

Filed: 2010-10-14
Abstract: A preformed roof ventilation system comprised of a panel including a middle section and flanged lateral edges. The middle section and flanged lateral edges forming a vent trough. The panel is installed on top of roof framing members prior to the addition of roof sheathing so that the flanged lateral edges can be secured between the roof framing members and the roof sheathing. The panel in combination with the roof sheathing creates a vent channel for channeling air from soffit vents along the underside of the roof sheathing and out of the attic through a ridge vent. The panel may further comprise a baffle flap with a living hinge that is adjustable to any pitched roof. The baffle flap forms a barrier to stop insulation from the attic from getting into the eave space and obstructing the soffit vents. Reinforcing elements and a formed grid pattern may be integrated along the length of the panels to increase the stiffness of each panel. Vent channel supports may also be integrated with the panel to aid in keeping the vent channel at a constant height after applying insulation. Additional panels can be added to extend the length of the vent channel.
