Patent CA-2406543-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and subsystem for processing signals utilizing a plurality of vibrating micromechanical devices
Inventor: NGUYEN CLARK T C
IPC: H03H11/04
Filed: 2001-04-20
Abstract: Several MEMS-based methods and architectures which utilize vibrating micromechanical resonators in circuits to implement filtering, mixing, frequency reference and amplifying functions are provided. A method and subsystem are provided for processing RF signals utilizing a plurality of vibrating micromechanical devices typically in the form of an IF mixer-filte r and an RF channel selector or an image-reject RF filter. One of the primary benefits of the use of such architectures is a savings in power consumption by trading power for high selectivity (i.e., high Q). Also, such methods and circuits can elimitate the need for a low noise amplifier in a receiver or transceiver subsystem. Consequently, the present invention relies on the use  of a large number of micromechanical links in SSI networks to implement sign al processing functions with basically zero DC power consumption.

Abstract: A hinge assembly is provided for hinging a hood on a utility vehicle body so as to enable the hood to open upwardly and backwardly from the front end of the utility vehicle. A bracket made from steel is secured adhesively to an underside of the hood, which is made from a polymeric material, near a back end of the hood. A double-rocker, four-link mechanism includes a lower, fixed link having two opposite ends, each defined by a bracket mounted to the utility vehicle body, an upper, coupler link defined by a portion of the hood-mounted bracket and having two opposite ends, a comparatively longer, front link, and a comparatively shorter, back link. Each of the front and back links, which are rocker links, has a lower end connected pivotally to one of the opposite ends of the fixed link and an upper end connected pivotally to one of the opposite ends of the coupler link. The front, back, and coupler links are displaceable so that the upper end of the back link is movable toward and away from the lower end of the front link, between positions on opposite sides of a center line drawn between the lower end of the back link and the other end of the coupler link. An extensible-retractable spring connected between the rocker links biases the upper end of the back link toward the lower end of the front link. As measured along the front and back links respectively, a front end of the spring is comparatively closer to the lower end of the front link and a back end of the spring is comparatively farther from the lower end of the back link.

Patent CA-2420998-A1 (CA)
Title: Tidal power generation
Inventor: JONES PETER A
IPC: F03B13/26
Filed: 2003-03-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for obtaining energy from vertical tidal motion, comprising hollow containers which rise and fall with the tide. The containers axe rotatably connected to a drive shaft such that the rising or falling motion of the containers causes rotation of the drive shaft. The containers can be empty or filled with water, so that the buoyancy force can be maximized as the empty containers are raised by the tide and the weight of the filled containers maximizes the force as the containers are lowered with the receding tide. The motion of the containers are preferably caused to lag the vertical tidal motion, with the extent of the lag timed to coincide with the "slack tide" period of the tidal cycle, thereby always providing at least one container to be in motion in the up or down direction.
