Patent CA-2647328-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TAYLOR JOHN P
IPC: H04M1/72412
Filed: 2007-03-26
Abstract: A communication protocol between a master device (102), such as a mobile phone, and a peripheral device (104) facilitates authentication of the peripheral device. When a peripheral device is detected, the master device initiates a wake-up command to the peripheral device, transmits an authentication request command followed by challenge data to the peripheral device, and awaits responses from the peripheral device. The accessory receives the challenge data, performs a hash function on the challenge data, performs a hash function on the challenge data, and generates response data. An authentication response type byte is sent to the mobile phone followed by the response data. The mobile phone compares the response data to pre-stored data that is associated with the challenge data. A match indicates that the accessory is authentic. The challenge / response data, also referred to as a plaintext / cyphertext pair, is pre-generated external to the mobile phone using the hash function, then pre-stored in the mobile phone.

Filed: 2006-12-13
Abstract: An improved hover vacuum cleaner (1) has a base with an outer wall (19) forming a cavity (20) and one or more keel skirts (22) which partition the cavity. Pressurised air extracted from the dust chamber is blown into the partitions, for example via a plenum in the outer wall (18) or a keel skirt. The keel skirts create separate air cushions for hovering, independent of each other, and each enhances the lift produced by the pressurised air leaving the cleaner. One or two of these air cushions may be compromised without affecting the performance of the remaining cushions. The cleaner also has two chambers (11, 12), connected by one or more conduits (9) so that the motor (16) extracts air from an inlet (4) through both chambers (11, 12) before expelling the air through the base. The motor (16) may be centrally mounted between the chambers (11, 12) for improved weight distribution.

Title: Exhaust gas purification catalyst and method of producing the same
Inventor: IMADA NAOMI
IPC: B01D53/86
Filed: 2008-01-30
Abstract: Disclosed are: an exhaust gas purification catalyst which comprises a composition comprising oxides of titanium (Ti), molybdenum (Mo) and/or tungsten (W), vanadium (V) and bismuth (Bi), wherein the [Ti:(Mo and/or W):V] ratio is 75-98.9:1-15:0.1-10 on an atom basis and the [Bi/(Mo and/or W)] ratio is 0.1 to 0.8 on an atom basis; a method for producing the catalyst; and an exhaust gas purification method using the catalyst. The exhaust gas purification catalyst is less likely to be deteriorated when a volatile catalyst-poisoning compound such as P and As is accumulated, and enables to reduce the SO2 oxidation rate to a fraction of that of a conventional catalyst. Further, when used in the purification of a coal combustion gas, the exhaust gas purification catalyst can keep its activity at a high level over a long period and can keep its SO2 oxidation rate at a low level even if the coal becomes diversified.

Title: Eolienne avec melangeurs et ejecteurs
Inventor: PRESZ WALTER M JR
IPC: F03D1/04
Filed: 2008-09-23
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'éolienne dotée d'un mélangeur/éjecteur (« MEWT ») qui surpasse systématiquement le rendement des éoliennes de l'art antérieur. Dans le mode de réalisation préféré, la MEWT du Demandeur comprend une technologie avancée de mélange d'écoulement, une technologie avancée d'éjecteur, des technologies d'aérodynamique de propulsion et d'avion et d'atténuation du bruit avancées de manière exceptionnelle pour améliorer dynamiquement par un fluide l'efficacité et le rendement opérationnels des éoliennes de l'art antérieur, de sorte que son rendement de fonctionnement surpasse systématiquement la limite de Betz. Le mode de réalisation de MEWT préféré du Demandeur comprend : une enveloppe de turbine dotée d'une admission évasée; un anneau d'aubes de stator; un anneau d'aubes rotatives (c à d une roue à aubes) aligné avec les aubes de stator; et une pompe dotée d'un mélangeur/éjecteur pour augmenter le volume d'écoulement à travers la turbine tout en mélangeant rapidement l'écoulement de sortie de la turbine basse énergie avec un écoulement d'air de dérivation haute énergie. A la différence des mélangeurs et des éjecteurs de turbines à gaz qui se mélangent également avec des gaz d'échappement de partie centrale chaude, l'appareil préféré du Demandeur mélange seulement deux courants d'air (c'est-à-dire vents) : un courant d'air principal qui entraîne l'énergie en rotation et transfère celle-ci à la roue à aubes tout en traversant la turbine; et un écoulement de dérivation d'énergie important ou courant d'air « secondaire » qui est entraîné dans l'éjecteur, où le courant d'air secondaire se mélange avec le courant d'air principal et transfère l'énergie à celui-ci. La MEWT est capable de produire deux ou trois fois l'énergie de ses homologues à extrémités libres pour la même zone frontale, et d'augmenter la productivité de parcs éoliens d'un facteur de deux ou plus. Cette MEWT est plus sûre et plus silencieuse, et permet en même temps d'offrir des options d'éoliennes améliorées pour les zones habitées.

Title: Coupler assembly
Inventor: MCCOY RICHARD W
IPC: B60D1/07
Filed: 2009-10-22
Abstract: The present application describes a gooseneck coupler assembly that may include a gooseneck trailer pivot, an extension arm, and a pivot retention mechanism having a ball socket. The ball socket may engage with a hitch ball located on a towing vehicle. The gooseneck trailer pivot may be mounted on a towed vehicle or trailer and be capable of pivoting about a vertical axis relative to the trailer. During engagement, the ball socket and the extension arm may provide tilt capability but thereby prevent any rotational movement relative to the hitch ball. However, the gooseneck coupler assembly may still be able to tilt fore-and-aft or side-to-side relative to the hitch ball.  Therefore, the only pivotal movement relative to a vertical axis would be permitted at the gooseneck trailer pivot.

Abstract: The energy potential of a receiver receiving signals from a navigation satellite is calculated according to an algorithm which is a function of an estimate of the mean and an estimate of the variance of a correlation signal. Improving the accuracy of measuring the energy potential may be achieved by improving the variance estimate. The variance estimate may be determined from measurements of the correlation signal over long time intervals during operation of the receiver. The variance estimate may also be determined during a calibration procedure, or by mathematical modelling of the receiver.
