Patent CA-2487768-A1 (CA)
Title: Catalytic device with internal heat exchange
Inventor: RASMUSSEN NIELS BJARNE KAMPP
IPC: B01D53/86
Filed: 2003-05-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a catalytic device with internal heat exchange that among other things can be used for vehicles with an internal combustion engine or for stationary engines where there is a certain amount of unburned gas components in the exhaust that can be converted in the catalyst. By the invention it is obtained that the maximum temperature in the catalyst is always nearly constant whatever the inlet temperature. Hereby, the catalyst can be designed to work at a very specific temperature, by which it is possible, partly to ensure a better and safer burnout of the unburned components, and partly to save expenses for catalyst materials. The exhaust gas is guided through the catalyst (1) by at least three passage sections that have a mutual internal heat exchange. In the main reaction passage section (3) there are catalytic materials (4) of one or several kinds, in which the gas can react, and in which the gases heat exchange with the succeeding main heat transfer passage section passage (5). The specific design makes the heat exchanger more efficient the slower the chemical reactions in the catalyst are, and vice versa. Therefore, the catalytic device will, by itself, set itself for the right temperature so that all reactions precisely can be completed in the catalytic device.

Title: Pointer tracking across multiple overlapping coordinate input sub-regions defining a generally contiguous input region
Inventor: HOLMGREN DAVID E
IPC: G06F3/042
Filed: 2004-12-31
Abstract: A touch system includes a plurality of coordinate input sub-regions.      The input sub-regions overlap to define a generally contiguous touch surface. Each coordinate input sub-region generates pointer coordinate data in response to pointer contacts thereon. The pointer coordinate data is processed to update image data presented on the input surface. When a pointer contact is made on a coordinate input sub-region that does not overlap with an adjacent coordinate input sub-region, the coordinate input sub-region processes acquired images to derive pointer data and triangulates the position of the pointer using the derived pointer data thereby to determine the position of the pointer contact relative to the touch surface. When a pointer contact is made on a coordinate input sub-region that overlaps with an adjacent coordinate input sub-region, each overlapping coordinate input sub-region processes acquired images to derive pointer data and triangulates the position of the pointer using the derived pointer data. Thereafter, the triangulated positions generated by the overlapping coordinate input sub-regions are processed in accordance with defined logic thereby to determine the position of the pointer contact relative to the touch surface.
