Patent CA-2688252-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PERRY-SMITH RANDOLPH
IPC: A63B59/02
Filed: 2008-05-21
Abstract: A device for use in launching and catching flying discs includes a frame having a handle section and an open forked section. The opened forked section includes a pair of opposing forks wherein each fork has a distal end and a proximal end with the distal end being free and the proximal end adjoining the proximal end of the opposing fork. Flexible material such as nylon netting is strung between the opposing forks in a manner which enables the formation of a relatively deep elongated channel having an open end so that a forceful swing of the device will cause a flying disc placed in the channel to roll in the channel and out through the open end of the channel at a high rate of speed. A method of using the device to launch a flying disc as well as a novel flying disc are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method sticks onto a curved surface of a substrate a functional film (4) that has a substantially planar initial shape.  To this end, the film (4) is retained on a deformable membrane (1) by connecting means (2) that allow portions of said film to slip relative to the membrane when said membrane is deformed. This reduces stresses that are created in the film by the deformation.  The method is adapted for applying a functional film to an ophthalmic lens.

Abstract: Strategies that dramatically reduce leaching of water-soluble metal-containing biocides from treated biodegradable products. Aqueous, preservative compositions of the present invention incorporate one or more water-soluble metal species having biocidal activity and one or more agents that increase the leaching resistance of these metal species when impregnated into biodegradable products. Using one or more of these agents allows usage rates of the biocide impregnants to be dramatically lowered at the time of impregnation of the products. Because less of the metal biocide leaches in the presence of these agent(s), less biocide has to be added in order to meet desired loading goals. Generally, an agent of the present invention that reduces leaching of metal biocides is water soluble, is substantially nonionic in aqueous media, has a molecular weight greater than about 100, and has a vapor pressure less than that of water at standard temperature. Preferred agents are those including at least 10 weight percent, more preferably at least 16 weight percent, and even more preferably at least 20 weight percent oxygen. Examples of these preferred agents include (poly)ethers and/or nonionic surfactants including one or more oxyalkylene units in the backbone and/or as substituents of the molecule.

Abstract: Systems and methods utilizing turbines, including a compressor turbine with a vaporizable liquid delivery device, are presented. A compressor turbine uses the evaporation of a vaporizable liquid at or near thermal equilibrium from the vaporizable liquid delivery device during the compression. The vapor created thereby typically carries the thermal energy discharged after the gas turbine cycle. The amount of liquid vaporized during compression, the length of time vaporization takes, the proximity to thermal equilibrium at which vaporization occurs, the amount of thermal energy recovered by recuperation, and the temperature at the inlet of the combustion chamber are generally interrelated parameters that can be controlled to increase efficiency.

Abstract: In a wireless communication system having multiple access nodes, a home agent (HA) maintains home address (HoA) for a mobile node so that an IP session can be established. As the mobile node moves within a coverage area of various access nodes, the mobile node can establish a secure relationship with a local access gateway and thereby register a local IP address, referred to as a care-of-address (CoA), with the HA. Mobile IP protocol can be established so that multiple sessions can be conducted. In maintaining policy and charging control (PCC), HA informs a policy and charging rules function (PCRF), which in turn can then send the appropriate PCC rules (e.g., IP flows and related policies) to a policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF) for a particular access gateway. Coordination necessary to associate CoA and HoA can further include filter information as to application can run on a particular interface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reducing the air feed from the atmosphere into the expansion vessel of high-voltage systems filled with insulating fluid and also relates to a device for carrying out the method, the design of the device differing for new transformer installations from that of transformers with thermal aging already having set in. This enables the limiting of degradation of the insulation system by the accelerators of moisture and oxygen and enables the life span of the high-voltage system to be extended. The method according to the invention is characterized in that gas is transferred from the expansion vessel to an external buffer space up to a pre-defined overpressure relative to atmospheric pressure, said gas being discharged to the atmosphere only when the pre-defined overpressure is exceeded, gas is transferred from an external buffer space to the expansion vessel down to a pre-defined underpressure relative to atmospheric pressure, with either air from the atmosphere or inert gas being fed to the buffer space only upon falling below said underpressure, wherein the buffer space volume is co-determined by a lower and an upper working temperature (Tu, To) of the insulating fluid in the high-voltage system.
