Patent CA-2676772-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for conserving battery power
Inventor: YAMKOVOY PAUL G
IPC: H04R3/00
Filed: 2008-02-12
Abstract: A method of conserving battery power includes providing an electrical conductor that is connectable between an audio source and an accessory of the audio source. The conductor is capable of conducting a first electrical signal, containing audio information from the audio source, to the accessory. A second electrical signal is applied to the conductor when the first electrical signal is not present on the conductor. An aspect of the second electrical signal is measured while it is being applied to the conductor. An amount of battery power supplied to the accessory is reduced when the measured aspect meets a predetermined condition.

IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2008-08-20
Abstract: In a typical computer network, at least some of the managed resources are monitored to determine whether those resources are meeting predetermined performance goals or service level objectives. To simplify the process of configuring a network monitor, information about the service level objectives is loaded into the resource itself. When the resource is detected, the service level objective information is extracted from the resource information and made available to a translating engine.  The translating engine converts the extracted information to monitoring directions that are used to configure the network monitor.  Embodiments in which new resources are detected either by a registration process or a polling process are described.

Abstract: A system and method of communicating between a master and a slave device for managing home energy are provided.  A transmitter is operatively associated with one of a meter and a home energy manager for emitting a carrier signal at a selected frequency. A tone is superimposed on the selected carrier frequency and represents an operational energy cost level output from an associated utility. A receiver receives the emitted carrier signal with superimposed tone. A microcontroller associated with the home appliance then controls the home appliance in response to the emitted carrier signal with superimposed tone. Multiple distinct frequencies correlate to specific rates, and decoding or detecting the presence of one or more tones can be used to represent a binary number that allows the meter/controller to communicate "intelligence"  with the home appliance.

Abstract: A retractable, reflective pavement marker for delineating traffic lanes of roadways and a method of installing the same that provides improved protection from potentially damaging vehicle tires, snowplows, and environmental conditions.  The marker incorporates a reflector assembly mounted to a piston that is depressible within a housing. A biasing means returns the reflector assembly to its normal position above the road surface. A compliant adhesive cooperates with an adhesive lock formed between the housing and the opening to ensure that the marker is reliably retained within the pavement. The adhesive and a chamfered opening prevent pavement spalling due to external forces. The housing includes a removable retainer through which the piston is reciprocally received. The retainer includes a plurality of coarsely pitched lead-in threads that cooperate with a threaded housing. Multiple lead-in threads provide sufficient thread engagement, while substantially decreasing the number of rotations to achieve full engagement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating carbon dioxide from a flue gas of a fossil fuel-operated power plant. In the method, a fossil fuel (2) is initially burned in a combustion process, wherein a hot waste gas (3) containing carbon dioxide is produced.  In a next process step, waste gas (3) containing carbon dioxide is brought into contact with an absorption medium (5) in an absorption process (4), wherein carbon dioxide is absorbed by the absorption medium (5), thus forming a charged absorption medium (6).  In a subsequent process step, gaseous carbon dioxide (8) is thermally expelled from the charged absorption medium (6) in a desorption process (7). For this purpose, a vapor (9) is supplied to the desorption process (7), said vapor being injected into the charged absorption medium (6), wherein the condensation heat released by the condensation of the vapor (9) is transferred to the charged absorption medium (6), and the partial pressure of the carbon dioxide is simultaneously reduced in the desorption unit.
