Patent CA-2616587-A1 (CA)
Title: Route optimization for on-demand routing protocols for mesh networks
Inventor: JETCHEVA JORGETA
IPC: H04L45/24
Filed: 2006-07-18
Abstract: Various embodiments implement a set of low overhead mechanisms to enable on-demand routing protocols. The on-demand protocols use route accumulation during discovery floods to discover when better paths have become available even if the paths that the protocols are currently using are not broken. That is, the mechanisms (or "Route Optimizations") enable improvements to routes even while functioning routes are available. The Route Optimization mechanisms enable nodes in the network that passively learn routing information to notify nodes that need to know of changes in the routing information when the changes are important. Learning routing information on up-to-date paths and determining nodes that would benefit from the information is performed, in some embodiments, without any explicit control packet exchange. One of the Route Optimization mechanisms includes communicating information describing an improved route from a node where the improved route diverges from a less nearly optimal route.

Patent CA-2629611-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHEN MIKE
IPC: C09D7/80
Filed: 2006-11-06
Abstract: The present invention is directed to the use of continuous extrusion devices to form high quality polymer dispersions. Screw extruder devices of the present invention inject water into a zone of high pressure, temperature, and shear to cause the rapid inversion of a weld in less than, for example, one minute, which compares very favorably with conventional batch methods, which can take, for example, two or more hours to complete an inversion. This rapid inversion - a surprising result given the extended time inversion requires in batch processes - allows for the continuous production of polymer dispersions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a combined weed extractor and soil aerator which allows grass roots to grow more deeply and to be more resistant, thus preventing weed germination on a soft soil. This combined extractor and aerator comprises a frame formed of an empty tube acting as a handle and specially made to become a ground plug receptacle. This combined extractor and aerator is such that an initial operation of it will extract a dandelion or other weeds in the form of a ground plug, and a further operation of it will cause the first ground plug to be stored in the empty handle, and so on, up to the full length of the empty handle, thereby allowing easier work and giving an easier way to catch the ground plugs. To empty the handle storage tube, the user has just to turn it upside down and the ground plugs will go out easily. Such is perfect to pour them into a compost tank.
