Patent CA-2652863-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BAWCUTT ANTHONY J
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2007-02-21
Abstract: Technologies are provided for completing e-commerce transactions over a P2P communications channel. According to one method, a secure P2P communications channel is established between a buyer node and a seller node. A request to perform an e-commerce transaction is transmitted from the buyer node to the seller node. In response to the request, a third-party clearinghouse is added to the P2P communications channel. Once the clearinghouse has been added to the P2P communications channel, a request is transmitted to the clearinghouse over the P2P communications channel to charge an account associated with the buyer node. The clearinghouse charges an account associated with the buyer node for the purchase and transmits a confirmation over the P2P communications channel indicating that the charge has been completed. When the seller node receives the confirmation, it delivers the purchased good to the buyer node.

Title: Optically controlled silicon carbide and related wide-bandgap transistors and thyristors
Inventor: MAZZOLA MICHAEL S
IPC: H01L31/10
Filed: 2007-06-19
Abstract: An optically active material is used to create power devices and circuits having significant performance advantages over conventional methods for affecting optical control of power electronics devices and circuits. A silicon-carbide optically active material is formed by compensating shallow donors with the boron related D-center. The resulting material can be n-type or p-type but it is distinguished from other materials by the ability to induce persistent photoconductivity in it when illuminated by electromagnetic radiation with a photon energy in excess of the threshold energy required to photoexcite electrons from the D-center to allowed states close to the conduction band edge, which varies from polytype to polytype.

Patent CA-2660245-A1 (CA)
Title: Systeme de puissance inductif
Inventor: POLLARD KEITH GRAHAM
IPC: H02J5/00
Filed: 2007-08-03
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de transfert de puissance inductif permettant de coupler une source de puissance à une charge à travers un espace d'air. Ledit système comporte une unité primaire et une unité secondaire; ladite unité secondaire peut être séparée de l'unité primaire et est conçue pour recevoir de la puissance de l'unité primaire par induction lorsqu'elle est placée à proximité de l'unité primaire. Le système comporte un comparateur à étages multiples pour surveiller des conditions de fonctionnement à l'intérieur de l'unité secondaire ainsi que des moyens de rétroaction pour transmettre un signal de rétroaction à l'unité primaire lorsque des conditions de fonctionnement prédéterminées sont détectées à l'intérieur de l'unité secondaire. L'unité primaire est conçue pour fonctionner en mode basse puissance dans lequel une puissance est appliquée à l'enroulement primaire pour une période minimale pendant chaque cycle de commutation si aucun signal de rétroaction n'est reçu ainsi qu'en mode haute puissance dans lequel une puissance est appliquée à l'enroulement primaire pour la plus grande partie de chaque cycle de commutation si un signal de rétroaction est reçu. Le système de transfert de puissance fonctionne par application de rafales de puissance de l'unité primaire à l'unité secondaire, les rafales devenant plus fréquentes et plus longues à mesure que la charge sur l'unité secondaire augmente ou que l'espace d'air diminue, pour transférer plus de puissance ou pour maintenir une puissance à mesure que les pertes d'espace d'air augmentent. La durée et la fréquence des rafales de puissance changent proportionnellement aux variations de l'alimentation d'entrée en puissance au niveau de l'unité primaire afin de maintenir une régulation de tension de la puissance distribuée à l'unité secondaire.

Title: Method of and apparatus for separating out materials heavier than plastic, in particular metals, by flotation in a water bath, in a separation of plastics of different densities
Inventor: KOSLOW ALEXANDER
IPC: B03B5/36
Filed: 2007-04-25
Abstract: This invention concerns an arrangement for separating plastics and other materials of different densities in a liquid bath by flotation. The batches of plastics fed to the flotation baths often also contain ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals and other materials which are heavier than plastics. Sin ce these materials in the batch which is to be separated are heavier than pl astics, they settle quickly on the perforated base (1) while the plastics pa rticles are still floating in the flotation bath. The still-floating plastic s particles are transferred to a second stage and separated there in accorda nce with their different densities. The heavier materials, which settle from the batch in the first stage, easily result in the through-openings for liq uid in the perforated base (1) closing. For this reason, it is the problem o f this invention to remove these materials, usually settling on the perforat ed base in pile form, again without causing the liquid settled in the settli ng tank (27) to move in an undesirable manner, and thus to prevent already s ettled materials from rising up and mixing again with still-floating plastic s particles. The invention proposes to mount the perforated base (1) in a mo vable manner, to leave a gap between the perforated-base boundary and the wa ll of the settling tank and to displace the perforated base (1) at intervals slowly in a direction which reduces the size of the gap and quickly and abr uptly in the opposite direction: as a result of the abrupt movement of the p erforated base (1), the kinetic energy stored in the piles of metal or the o ther heavy materials moves these materials in the direction of the gap perip hery (S) and conveys them through the gap (7) into the settling chamber loca ted beneath the perforated base. These materials can then easily be guided a way from there.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hot dip coating device (100) for coating a metal strip with molten metal (200) and to a method for operating said device. The metal strip is deviated in the molten metal (200) by means of a roller (120). Said roller is rotatably received in a bearing (144) in a supporting arm (105). The bearing is mounted in a bearing compartment (142). In order to seal the bearing compartment (142) from the undesired entry of molten metal (200), a sluice is arranged between the bearing compartment (142) and a roller passage (136) to the molten metal (200) and is impinged upon by a gaseous medium at gas pressure to seal the sluice chamber (132) from the molten metal (200). The aim of the invention is to reduce the maintenance work required for said sluice. To achieve this, the sluice chamber (132) is configured in the shape of a diving bell having a channel-type exit (134) which is open to the surrounding molten metal (200).
