Accordingly, the method of the present invention enables more efficient allocation of lumber towards building needs.
Patent CA-2590463-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOLUBOWICZ KAZIMIERZ
IPC: H02K11/21
Filed: 2007-05-28
Abstract: This invention proposes a method to eliminate disadvantages infesting prior art three-phase synchronous and induction electric motors. It also proposes a motor the stator and rotor of which are energized from separate three-phase high frequency electronic power sources. The invented motor could also operate as an angular positioner to advance or retard rotor precisely. The proposed frequency increase is behind replacement of traditional ferromagnetic cores in the stator and rotor with linear magnetic materials such as composites, plastics or even air. In the proposed motor traditional transfers of energy, from stator to rotor by induction, have been eliminated thus stator and rotor are energized from separate energy sources to improve the Torque v. speed and current vs. speed characteristics. The improvement includes torque independent from speed and current depending just from the load. Therefore the starting up current is not higher than of the max operating current. Also the proposed engine operates well on very slow speeds e.g. 0.000,001 rpm or very high speeds e.g. above 125,000 rpm. The max speed is limited by a stress caused by inertia of a fast rotating mass of the rotor, while the low speeds are limited by the quality of quartz used to produce high frequency three phase electric powers. Finally the invention discusses a dual high frequency three phase electronic power source of electricity to energize stator and rotor independently. The application of proposed motor is much wider than that of traditional induction or synchronous motors and includes areas not possible in prior art.

Filed: 2006-06-05
Abstract: The present invention is directed generally to devices and methods for controlling fluid flow in meso-scale fluidic components in a programmable manner. Specifically, the present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for placing two microfluidic components in fluid communication at an arbitrary position and time, both of which are externally defined. The inventive apparatus uses electromagnetic radiation to perforate a material layer having selected adsorptive properties. The perforation of the material layer allows the fluid communication between microfluidic components allowing volumetric quantitation of fluids. Using the perforation of the material functionality such as metering and multiplexing are achieved on a microscale.  This functionality is achieved through basic operations, like dosimeters filling, dosimeters purging, dosimeters extraction, dosimeters ventilation and channels routing. Accordingly, these operations are performed in microfluidic platforms and are characterized extensively, allowing the realization of complex assays in a miniaturized format, where dilutions of proteins and assay readout can be performed in an extremely small footprint.

Filed: 2006-09-29
Abstract: In a method of measuring cumulative polarization mode dispersion (PMD) along the length of a fiber-under-test (FUT), a polarization-sensitive optical time domain reflectometer (POTDR) is used to inject into the FUT plural series of light pulses arranged in several groups. Each group comprises at least two series of light pulses having different but closely-spaced wavelengths and the same state of polarization (SOP). At least two, and preferably a large number of such groups, are injected and corresponding OTDR traces obtained for each series of light pulses by averaging the impulse-response signals of the several series of light pulses in the group. The process is repeated for a large number of groups having didfferent wavelengths and/or SOPs. The PMD then is obtained by normalizing the OTDR traces of all of the groups, then computing the difference between each normalized OTDR trace in one group and the corresponding normalized OTDR trace in another group, followed by the mean-square value of the differences. Finally, the PMD is computed as a predetermined function of the mean-square difference. The function may, for example, be a differential formula, an arcsine formula, and so on.

Title: Methods and systems for determining reservoir properties of subterranean formations with pre-existing fractures
Inventor: CRAIG DAVID P
IPC: E21B47/00
Filed: 2006-10-02
Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for evaluating subsurface earth oil and gas formations. More particularly, methods and systems are provided for determining reservoir properties such as reservoir transmissibilities and average reservoir pressures of formation layer(s) using quantitative refracture-candidate diagnostic methods. The methods herein may use pressure falloff data from the introduction of an injection fluid at a pressure above the formation fracture pressure to analyze reservoir properties. The model recognizes that a new induced fracture creates additional storage volume in the formation and that a quantitative refracture-candidate diagnostic test in a layer may exhibit variable storage during the pressure falloff, and a change in storage may be observed at hydraulic fracture closure. From the estimated formation properties, the methods may be useful for, among other things, determining whether a pre-existing fracture is damaged and evaluating the effectiveness of a previous fracturing treatment to determine whether a formation requires restimulation.
