Title: Charge/discharge control device and charge/discharge control method for power storage device, and electric-powered vehicle
Inventor: KIKUCHI YOSHIAKI
IPC: B60L50/15
Filed: 2007-05-11
Abstract: The battery voltage is shown at a maximum dischargeable current Idmax=Ib+(Vb-Ve)/R when the battery output power is increased from the present battery current Ib and the present battery voltage Vb (operating point 510) under the present internal resistor R until the battery voltage reaches a lower limit voltage Ve (operating point 520). Therefore, the maximum dischargeable power at which the battery voltage does not lowers under the lower limit voltage even if the discharge limit is temporarily relaxed can be predicted as a relative value to the present battery voltage and the present battery current by multiplication of the lower limit voltage Ve and the maximum dischargeable current Idmax. When the discharge power limit of the battery (storage battery) is temporarily relaxed in response to the load discharge request, the output voltage of the storage battery is controlled so as to be within the management voltage range from the lower to upper limit voltage and the discharge allowable power value is set depending on the maximum dischargeable power.

Patent CA-2659657-A1 (CA)
Title: Treatment of aqueous liquid
Inventor: PIGOTT STUART MICHAEL
IPC: B01D65/02
Filed: 2007-05-17
Abstract: Aqueous liquid having an oxygen demand flows into a treatment vessel (4) where it is treated by suspended aerobic bacterial solids in the presence of dissolved oxygen. A pressurised flow of the treated liquid passes to a clarifying membrane separator (10) effective to separate the flow into a discharge stream of clear liquid and a pressurised recycle stream concentrated in the aerobic bacterial solids. A first oxic gas is employed to scour the membranes and is conveyed away from the membrane separator in the pressurised recycle stream. The pressurised recycle stream is returned to under the surface of the liquid in the treatment vessel (4). A second oxic gas is introduced either into the pressurised recycle stream or into a further pressurised stream of aqueous liquid flowing into the same volume. The rate of introduction of the oxic gases is controlled with reference to the pH and dissolved oxygen concentration of the liquid in the vessel (4).
Patent CA-2663414-A1 (CA)
Title: Non-volatile memory serial core architecture
Inventor: KIM JIN-KI
IPC: G11C8/18
Filed: 2007-11-26
Abstract: A memory system having a serial data interface and a serial data path core for receiving data from and for providing data to at least one memory bank as a serial bitstream. The memory bank is divided into two halves, where each half is divided into upper and lower sectors. Each sector provides data in parallel to a shared two-dimensional page buffer with an integrated self column decoding circuit. A serial to parallel data converter within the memory bank couples the parallel data from either half to the serial data path core. The shared two-dimensional page buffer with the integrated self column decoding circuit minimizes circuit and chip area overhead for each bank, and the serial data path core reduces chip area typically used for routing wide data buses. Therefore a multiple memory bank system is implemented without a significant corresponding chip area increase when compared to a single memory bank system having the same density.

Title: Automated online selling of a product by electronic social-networking through a map of nearby existing product owners
Inventor: KIELLAND PETER JOHANN
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2009-05-11
Abstract: A system and method for selling a product through a website comprised of: a map display, a database of existing product owners, a "Discussion Forum" and an "Online Store". The "map of product demonstration providers" display is automatically centered over the geographical location of each new visitor to the website and displays clickable icons, each one representing a local existing owner of the product who has agreed to meet with website visitors to demonstrate their own example of the product in exchange for remuneration if their efforts result in a new online sale. Website visitors arrange their product demonstration meeting with an existing owner using anonymous email messages forwarded through the website's Discussion Forum. If their meeting results in a sale, the transaction processed through the website's Online Store automatically pays the existing owner their sales commission. If the new owner agrees to it, the transaction also adds their own icon to the website's "map of demonstration providers" display.  This recruitment process exponentially expands the product's sales force to create "viral selling".  In a preferred embodiment, boldly displaying the website's URL on the product results in "viral advertising" that amplifies the efficiency of its viral sales force.

Filed: 1996-10-08
Abstract: A GPS receiver in one embodiment includes an antenna which receives GPS  signals at an RF frequency from in view satellites; a downconverter coupled to the antenna for reducing the RF frequency of the received GPS signals to an intermediate frequency (IF); a digitizer coupled to the downconverter and sampling the IF  GPS  signals at a predetermined rate to produce sampled IF GPS signals; a memory coupled to the digitizer storing the sampled IF GPS signals (a snapshot of GPS  signals); and a digital signal processor (DSP) coupled to the memory and operating under stored instructions thereby performing Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) operations on the sampled IF GPS signals to provide pseudorange information. These operations typically also include preprocessing and postprocessing of the GPS signals.  After a snapshot of data is taken, the receiver front end is powered down. The GPS  receiver in one embodiment also includes other power management features and includes, in another embodiment the capability to correct for errors in its local oscillator which is used to sample the GPS signals. The calculation speed of pseudoranges, and sensitivity of operation, is enhanced by the transmission of the Doppler frequency shifts of in view satellites to the receiver from an external source, such as a basestation in one embodiment of the invention.
