Title: Procede de traitement de matiere carbonee activee contenant des alcalis / metaux terreux alcalins pour la reduction des emissions de nox par un gaz de combustion
Inventor: GUPTA HIMANSHU
IPC: B01J8/02
Filed: 2001-02-02
Granted: 2006-05-02
Abstract: Une réduction économique des émissions de NOx par les gaz de combustion est essentielle pour l'existence et la rentabilité à long terme de centrales thermiques à combustible fossile. Le procédé proposé consiste à utiliser des matières carbonées activées pour la régulation postcombustion des émissions d'oxydes d'azote (NOx) à partir du gaz de combustion. Des expériences intégrales ont été effectuées sur une variété d'espèces carbonées telles que le graphite, des carbones activés et le charbon. Un paramètre de sélectivité ( g de carbone consommé/g de réduction de NO) a été utilisé en tant que base pour la quantification de l'effet sur la sélectivité carbone-NO des divers paramètres tels que la concentration d'oxygène, l'imprégnation d'alcalis et la température de réaction. La réaction avec du carbone structuré pur (graphite) a nécessité une température très élevée. La vitesse de réaction avec le charbon et le carbone activé a été trouvée supérieure à la vitesse de réaction avec le graphite. La température de réaction a été considérablement réduite par l'imprégnation de carbones avec des métaux alcalins. Pour un carbone donné, la sélectivité de la réaction carbone-NO a augmenté avec la température. L'effet de l'aire de surface initiale du carbone a également été étudié sur du charbon activé imprégné de carbonate de sodium. On a remarqué qu'une aire de surface initiale supérieure permettait d'accroître la sélectivité de la réaction carbone-NO.

Patent CA-2419124-C (CA)
Title: Microprocessor-based combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector having intelligent hush feature
Inventor: APPERSON MICHAEL
IPC: G08B19/00
Filed: 2001-08-10
Granted: 2010-06-01
Abstract: A microcontroller-based hazardous condition detector having an intelligent hush feature is presented. The microcontroller controls the operational mode of the detector by monitoring a single user-actuated switch, the inputs from a smoke chamber and a carbon monoxide detector circuit, and the current operating mode of the detector. When in a normal or no-alarm mode, actuation of the switch will cause the microcontroller to place the detector in a test mode of operation. If the detector is in a carbon monoxide alarm mode, actuation of the switch will act to reset the accumulator function of the microprocessor for the carbon monoxide alarm sensing. If the detector is in a smoke alarm mode, actuation of the switch may place the detector in a hush mode if the level of smoke is sufficiently low, or will have no effect if the level of smoke is too high. Once in the hush mode, actuation of the switch will place the detector into the smoke alarm mode. The microcontroller will also place the detector in the smoke alarm mode if the level of smoke increases beyond a certain limit, and after the expiration of a hush mode time limit. To coordinate this operation, the sensitivity of the detector is not changed in any mode of operation, and the microcontroller monitors both an alarm and a hush threshold.

Title: System and method for registration of cubic fisheye hemishpherical images
Inventor: HACK JEFF
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2001-12-07
Granted: 2015-05-05
Abstract: Systems and methods for registering hemispheric images obtained using a fisheye lens for panoramic viewing, relating to spatial alignment and colour balancing of complement half-side images derived from the hemispheric images. The systems and methods for spatial alignment determine the displacement of the digitized recorded images using a single translation and rotation model of distortion, which further evaluates the centre of projection, and the extent of translation and rotation. The system and method for colour balancing iteratively increase (or decrease) the values of pixels near the edge (discontinuity) between the two half-sides of an image, each time taking into consideration the average difference of pixel colour across a smaller strip of the edge near the pixel. This invention removes the colour differential but does not remove any detail underlying the features of the image.

Abstract: Multiple field units in a CDMA system are synchronized for communication with a base station using shared forward and reverse link channels. In an illustrative embodiment, each field unit is assigned a time slot in a forward link channel to receive messages from the base station. Likewise, each field unit is assigned a time slot on a common reverse link channel for transmitting messages to the base station. Timing alignment and power level control among each of many field units and the base station is achieved by analyzing messages received at the base station in a corresponding time slot as transmitted by each field unit. Thereafter, a message is transmitted from the base station in a corresponding time slot to a particular field unit for adjusting its timing or power level so that future messages transmitted from the field unit are received in the appropriate time slot at the base station at a desired power level. In this way, minimal resources are deployed to maintain communication and precise synchronization between a base station and each of multiple users, minimizing collisions between field units transmitting in adjacent time slots on the reverse link. This method reduces the frequency a field unit must rely on the use of a slotted aloha random access channel according to IS-95.
