Patent CA-2796905-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WARREN QUINTA M
IPC: B01D53/14
Filed: 2012-11-27
Abstract: Embodiments relate to methods and systems for loading a liquid solvent with a gas. Upon spraying the solvent into contact with the gas, droplets of the solvent absorb the gas and coalesce as a partial loaded solution. The solution then passes along at least one wetted wall column disposed in contact with the gas for further loading of the solvent. One exemplary application utilizes an amine as the solvent to be loaded with the gas, such as carbon dioxide.

Title: Geometric correction of rough wireframe models derived from photographs
Inventor: PERSHING CHRIS
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2011-02-01
Abstract: Geometric correction of rough wireframe models derived from photographs may include rectification of either a 2D or 3D original wireframe model of a roof structure, derivation of metadata from the original wireframe, in-plane normalization of the wireframe, extrusion into a "rough" 3D wireframe based on the normalized wireframe, and correction of the "rough" 3D wireframe. The correction and normalization may be an iterative process based on initial pitch values, metadata derived from the original or corrected wireframe models and defined constraints regarding relationships between roof portions or segments. The iterative process may repeat adjusting the wireframe model until the adjusting converges to a stable state according to the various defined constraints.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for an electronic and/or online raffle on the final score of sporting events. The games are structured to allow mass participation for raffle purposes. The system allows for risk mitigation for the charity by allowing multiple tickets and/or allowing for a percentage based jackpot system. Two embodiments are described, the first based on the final score of a single sporting event, the second based on the final score of the final series of a sporting event. In the first embodiment players receive a raffle ticket with two random scores of the two teams competing in the sporting event. The winning ticket is dictated by the matching of the scores on the ticket with the actual scores of the sporting event. If all the tickets do not sell in the pool of possible outcomes and the final score falls within the unsold ticket pool, or there is an anomaly in that a score or scores is outside the range of scores that are in the pool, then all the tickets' counterfoils are printed and a winner is chosen from a random drawing of the counterfoils. In the second embodiment players receive a raffle ticket with three random outcomes of a plurality of criteria. This method also prints the counterfoils to discover the winner if the actual final score winning ticket was not purchased.
