Patent CA-2479886-A1 (CA)
Title: Combustion method with integrated carbon dioxide separation by means of carbonation
Inventor: OAKEY JOHN
IPC: B01J20/04
Filed: 2003-03-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating CO2 from combustion gases, which can be used in large emissions sources (such as thermal power plants that use any type of carbonaceous fuel). The said method consists in bringing the combustion gases into contact with a calcareous sorbent (calcined limestone or dolomite) at 650-750°C, thereby producing a CO2 capture reaction by means of the rapid carbonation of the sorbent. The sorbent is regenerated in another reactor (calciner) producing a concentrated stream of CO2. This inventive method consists in arranging the combustion chamber in such a way as that the large heat demand in the calciner can be supplied from the said combustion chamber by a solid heat carrier circulating between the combustion chamber and the calciner or through metallic walls separating the combustion chamber and the calciner. To facilitate this heat transfer at the very high temperatures of the calciner, the calciner can be operated at low partial pressures of CO2. These low partial pressures can be achieved by feeding steam to the calciner or by applying a certain vacuum to the calciner.

Title: Coussin aromatherapeutique
Inventor: GUERCIN WOLFF SHIDER
IPC: A61G7/07
Filed: 2004-09-15
Abstract: Un coussin aromathérapeutique diffusant de l'arôme provenant de plante aromatique et permettant un transfert thermique, chaud ou froid sur un membre du corps d'un mammifère. Le coussin comporte une enveloppe avec poches et attache en coton, contenant une substance granulaire, comme des graines de lin et une partie d'une plante aromatique, comme de la lavande et de la menthe poivrée. La quantité de graine de lin, de lavande et de menthe poivrée à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe de coton permet d'obtenir une distribution bien repartie à l'intérieur des poches de l'enveloppe. Les poches de l'enveloppe empêchent la formation de vide localisée l'intérieur de l'enveloppe. L'attache de l'enveloppe permet de bien retenir la pression du coussin sur la partie du corps. Pour une application chaude, le coussin est chauffé pendant environ 1 à 2 minutes au four micro- ondes, au degré maximum. L'énergie thermique captée par les graines de lin, la lavande et la menthe poivrée permet une diffusion continue de l'arôme et le transfert de l a chaleur sur le membre du corps d'un mammifère, pendant environ 20 minutes. Et pour une application froide, le coussin est placé au congélateur pendant environ 3 à 4 heures. L'intensité du froid captée par les graines de lin, la lavande et la menthe poivrée permet une diffusion continuede l'arôme et le transfert de la basse température sur le membre du corps d'un mammifère, pendant environ 20 minutes.

Patent CA-2481892-A1 (CA)
Title: A speech recognition system
Inventor: STRONG ROBERT DON
IPC: G10L15/26
Filed: 1993-12-29
Abstract: Maintaining dynamic categories for speech rules in a speech recognition system which has a plurality of speech rules each comprising a language model and action. Each speech rule indicates whether the language model includes a flag identifying whether the words in the language model is dynamic according to changing data in the speech recognition system. At periodic intervals, such as system initialization or application program launch time, for each flag in each speech rule which indicates that words in the language model are dynamic, the words of each of the language model(s) are updated depending upon the state of the system. Concurrent with the determination of acoustic features during speech recognition, a current language model can be created based upon the language models from these speech rules. Also, speech rules are partitioned according to the context in which they are active. When speech is detected, concurrent with acoustic feature extraction, the current state of the computer system is used to determine which rules are active and how they are to be combined in order to generate a language model for word recognition. Also, partitioning speech recognition rules for generation of a current language model and interpretation in a speech recognition system is described. Rapid and efficient generation of a language model upon the detection of a current context at a second interval (e.g. upon the detection of speech in one embodiment) then may be performed.
