Patent CA-2377166-A1 (CA)
Title: Dynamically-switched power converter
Inventor: GARTSTEIN VLADIMIR
IPC: H01M6/50
Filed: 2000-06-23
Abstract: A DC/DC power converter is efficiently switched to produce a predetermined output voltage across a load capacitor as required by a load device. In particular, a capacitive and/or inductive element is switched between a charge and discharge state as required to maintain the output voltage. For a capacitive-only power converter, or charge pump, comparison of the output voltage to a reference voltage efficiently switches a fly capacitor between charging and discharging states. Also, power converter based on switching of an inductive element with a synchronous rectifier and switch to charge the load capacitor is made more efficient by a hysteretic comparison of the output voltage to predetermined thresholds for stopping the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modulation when the predetermined output voltage is achieved. The power converters illustrated are suitable for integrated circuit implementation and may be combined with other elements of a battery to produce a more efficient battery, achieving longer service life and output voltage stability.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for capturing an image  of a person's head, or other object, positioned in front of a camera and accurately scaling the head based on the distance of the head from the camer a. A sonar system is used to determine the distance of the object to the camera . The sonar system can include a first sonar device which is operated to measu re the distance of the object to a predetermined point and a second sonar devic e which is used to measure the distance of the camera to the predetermined point. A calculation of the distance from the object to the camera is based upon the sonar measurements. The image created by the camera can be scaled according to the distance of the object to the camera as determined with the  sonar. An image created by the camera can be displayed on a screen of a computer associated with the imaging system. Software on the computer can transpose an image of an eyeglass frame over the image of a face, wherein th e image of the face was captured by the camera. Measurements relating to prope r sizing of an eyeglass or other corrective lens can be performed on the computer screen. Other observations and image manipulations can also be made  including skin tone, facial features, head shape and size, application of cosmetics, proposed surgery, and many other uses.

Patent CA-2392778-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EVANS MARK DAVID
IPC: F16H59/40
Filed: 2002-07-09
Abstract: A cruise control system for a utility vehicle, which is speed-controlled by a hydrostatic transmission, includes a controller having an input for receiving a selectable set speed signal, and an output for sending a speed control signal to at least one proportional valve of a hydrostatic transmission servo control system.  The vehicle ground speed is continuously monitored by a speed sensor operatively associated with a rotating gear in the vehicle drive train that rotates in proportion to vehicle ground speed, to create a ground speed signal. The selectable set speed signal can be input to controller memory by driving the vehicle at a desired ground speed and then activating a speed set switch. The speed control algorithm of the controller thereafter compares the set speed to the ground speed signal from the speed sensor and corrects the control signal to the proportional valve to correct hydrostatic transmission speed output.
