Patent CA-2612245-C (CA)
Title: Thermometer with color changing display
Inventor: CRAIG CHRISTOPHER
IPC: A61B5/01
Filed: 2006-06-26
Granted: 2015-05-26
Abstract: The invention includes a thermometer (100) with a backlight and a method for lighting the backlight. The thermometer has a temperature probe section (110) with a temperature sensing element (102), a processor (104) which determines sensed temperature readings of the living being from the signals provided by temperature sensing element. The thermometer also includes a display (106) and a backlight for lighting the display. The backlight is activated upon a command from the processor and the processor determines whether a decrease in the temperature readings exceeds or is equal to a predetermined threshold in order to activate the backlight. The method can include the steps of using the processor to monitor a temperature change indicated by the temperature sensing element. The processor detects a temperature decrease and activates a first color light emitting element (122) to backlight a display if the temperature decrease exceeds or equals a predetermined threshold.

Title: Convertisseur de l'energie de la houle utilisant une masse de reaction et un ressort internes
Inventor: STEWART DAVID B
IPC: F03B13/12
Filed: 2006-12-01
Granted: 2015-02-17
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un convertisseur de l'énergie de la houle utilisant une masse de réaction et un ressort internes comportant une enceinte se plaçant dans un volume d'eau. L'enceinte contient un oscillateur interne comprenant une "masse de réaction" et un mécanisme à ressort reliant la masse de réaction à l'enceinte. L'enceinte et l'oscillateur interne sont réalisés de manière à ce qu'une fois immergés, il se crée en réponse à la houle, un mouvement relatif entre l'enceinte et la masse de l'oscillateur interne. Un dispositif de captage d'énergie placé entre l'oscillateur interne et l'enceinte convertit leur mouvement relatif en énergie électrique. Dans les systèmes de l'invention, le mécanisme à ressort est conçu pour que ses déplacements ou mouvements soient plus faibles que ceux de la masse de réaction. Le mécanisme à ressort peut consister en tout dispositif permettant à la masse de réaction de subir un déplacement donné alors que ses propres déplacements ou mouvements sont inférieurs à ceux de la masse de réaction. Cette caractéristique permet d'agir plus facilement sur la taille du convertisseur (par exemple en la réduisant).

Granted: 2015-08-18
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de réguler le chargement sur un véhicule à plusieurs essieux et d'améliorer la manuvrabilité. Le système comprend un réservoir d'air comprimé et un correcteur d'assiette associé qui utilise une valve relais pour améliorer les périodes de réalimentation lorsque le véhicule revient en fonctionnement normal après un fonctionnement en mode décharge. Le procédé réduit la pression dans un ou plusieurs des essieux lors de la manuvre du véhicule à des vitesses lentes prédéterminées et lors du maintien de cette première pression prédéterminée tandis que le ou les autres essieux sont à une pression supérieure à celle du premier essieu. En empêchant l'épuisement complet de la pression du système de suspension, le rétablissement de la pression de l'air est atteint plus rapidement. Par ailleurs, l'utilisation d'une valve relais permet des débits supérieurs pour améliorer la période de réalimentation du système de suspension pneumatique après un fonctionnement en mode décharge.
