Inventor: MOUSAVI MIRRASOUL J
IPC: H02H3/093
Filed: 2009-09-04
Abstract: A method and a protective device operable to perform the method are provided, wherein the method is for detecting and analyzing faults in a first cable and one or more other cables, which convey power in a three phase feeder system. Current magnitude in the first cable is compared to a threshold level. If the current magnitude exceeds the threshold level, the duration of the condition is measured. If the duration falls within a predetermined duration range, a predetermined time interval is allowed to pass and then a determination is made whether a fault is detected in the one or more other cables. If a fault is not detected in the one or more other cables, then a determination is made that a single phase fault has occurred in the feeder system.

Title: Flushing assembly
Inventor: MILLER DAVID W
IPC: B08B9/093
Filed: 2011-04-29
Abstract: The flushing assembly is used for flushing a toilet, a water bowl at a farm and the like and includes a tank located above the container to be flushed and an S-shaped pipe running from the tank to the container. An upstream segment of the pipe runs downward from the tank to a trap, a mid-stream segment runs upwardly from the trap to a second trap and a downstream segment runs downwardly from the second trap to the container to be flushed. The flushing operation is initiated when a tap which is provided in the upstream segment of the pipe is opened. When the tap is open, air trapped in the upstream segment is released to the atmosphere thereby allowing water in the tank to flow through the upstream segment and through the remaining two segments of the pipe and to discharge into the container.

Title: Common control channel uplink power control for adaptive modulation and coding techniques
Inventor: TERRY STEPHEN E
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 2002-05-14
Abstract: Using wireless digital code-division multiple access (CDMA) technology, a method and system in which adaptive modulation and coding (AM&C) is utilized in order to achieve improved radio resource utilization and provide increased data rates for user services in which the base station measures up link interference on all time slots received from user equipment (UEs) and determines the need for uplink control channel. The base station transmits to the UE the allocation of specific uplink control channels indicating uplink interference in the time slot and potentially the quality margin. The UE determines appropriate uplink power level based on a path loss determination made by the UE, uplink interference and an optional quality margin. The UE then initiates an uplink communication responsive to these determinations.

Patent CA-2748545-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HILLIAM KENNETH G
IPC: H02K16/04
Filed: 2011-08-02
Abstract: This invention can be designed in Three Methods. The Abstract begins with an explanation of the First and the Second Methods. These two Methods use Radial Magnetic Hollow Cylindrical Stators whose field Lines of Force Radiate to the Center of the Cylinder along its Cylinder length. The Third Method uses the Base of the Hollow Magnetic Cylinder to radiate the Magnetic Field. The Third Method has its own advantages over the other in specific cases.  This invention can operate as a DC Motor or as a DC Generator very smoothly because it employs a Uniform 360 Degree Magnetic Radial Cylindrical Ribbon Band Stator Field. The invention employs two separated oppositely poled Magnetic Cylindrical Field Stators.   The Parallel Wires or the Parallel Bars in the Squirrel-Cage operates as a rotating Rotor with Resistive Characteristic which are always moving perpendicularly to all the Lines of Force of the Uniform Stator Band Field. The Uniformity of the 360 Degree Band enables for simple Rheostat Controllers for Speed Control of the Motor and the uniformity of the in Phase Output Current and Voltages in the Generator design. There are two possible design Methods. The First Method has a rotating Squirrel-Cage while the Second is the opposite.  This invention can be designed in two Methods so that there are advantages of electrical wiring isolation from moisture or from a slightly more complex gear / bearing design which completely isolates the electrical wiring connections from moisture. The Motor Applications determine the level of risk of electrical failure, maintenance or adaptation to power wheels or pulleys. The Second Method does not employ any DC Commutation nor Electrical Brushes.  The wiring of the Squirrel-Cage can be easily kept clean and cooled by passing air or cooling fluids through the Interior Magnetic Cylinder Stator. Similarly the Outer Cylindrical Stator can be cooled by cooling tubes through it or by wrapped around cooling tubing.  The overall light weight design which does not employ parallel Stator Plates eliminates various electrical energy losses from Eddy Currents, Hysteresis Losses and contamination by dust, vapors, metal particles and unwanted corrosion and shorting by moisture.     This invention provides overall advantages because it employs Uniform Stator Field Band which greatly simplifies all the critical design features such as controlling the Weight, Speed, Torque, Current, Voltages and Cooling. Maintenance is very easy to monitor and to be made.  The Third Method uses the Base of the Hollow Magnetic Cylinder to radiate the Magnetic Field. The Third Method has its own advantages over the other in specific cases. The Disk Rotor could operate as a Vehicle Wheel but this would make the wheel hub two wide, so it is better suited for vertical longitudinal applications as cutting vertical oriented pipes or panels.  The Stator Fields are easy to alter by Stacking more Stator Magnets or draining the fields or by using energized Induction Coils.
