Abstract: A method of determining a total call tariff in respect of a call from a Mobile Station currently registered with a foreign network. A total call tariff request is sent from a charging function (7) of the foreign network (2) to a rating node (8) of the mobile telephone subscriber's home network (1), the message including a call tariff portion of the foreign network (2). At the rating node (8), the total call tariff is determined by applying a multiplying factor to the foreign network's tariff portion. The determined total call tariff is then sent to the charging function (7) of the foreign network (2).

Title: Transmitter-based path protection switching in a ring network
Inventor: DUPONT JEAN-LOU
IPC: H04L12/437
Filed: 2000-05-23
Abstract: (57) Abstract: A system and method for path protection switching in ring networks is provided in which the path protection switch occurs at the transmitter node that initiated a particular virtual channel of data packets onto the ring network. A failure in one of the data communication paths of the ring network is detected by the network nodes on either side of the failure. These network nodes then initiate a wrap mechanism that embeds a special feedback wrap indicator flag into packets received at the two nodes, and then wraps (or transmits back) these packets (with the feedback indicator) in the opposite direction towards the transmitter node that initiated the packets onto the ring. Each transmitter node detects whether received packets are associated with virtual channels that it initiated onto the ring, and if so detected, then determine whether the feedback indicator flag is set. If so, then a protection switch occurs at the transmitter node so that additional packets associated with the particular virtual channel are switched in a direction opposite to the failure. A ring continuity mechanism is used to determine when to revert the transmitter nodes back to their prior operating state, and a garbage collection function is also included.
Patent CA-2377500-A1 (CA)
Inventor: THIGPEN HAROLD D
IPC: F21V23/04
Filed: 2002-03-18
Abstract: A remote micro-controlled oil lamp having a base with a crystal housing for a electrically activated wick is described.      Mounted within the base is a coupled photodetector and audio circuit which respectively receives and transmits signals for lighting the wick and sounding a prerecorded message to signify an on and off condition. The wick is provided in the form of a pair of electrodes which are electrically activated via the photodetector by a remote laser source and/or a manual switch mounted within the base. When the lamp is either remotely or manually activated the electrodes generate a spark across a combustible fluid filled cylindrically shape gap as a catalyst to produce a candle light or flame. A micro-pump circuit is mounted within the base of the reservoir to ensure an adequate supply of fuel for an extended source of candle light.

Title: A tamper indicating radio frequency identification label
Inventor: ATHERTON PETER
IPC: B65D5/42
Filed: 2001-03-21
Abstract: A tamper indicating label is provided. The label (100) may include RFID components and a tamper track (102) coupled to the RFID components. The tamp er track (102) should be constructed from a destructible conducting path. Additionally, the tamper track (102) can be formed such that it is damaged when the label is tampered. In one embodiment, adhesion characteristics of t he tamper track (102) are adapted to break apart the tamper track when the labe l is tampered, for example, by removal from an object. The RFID components may  retain their RF capability and detect when the tamper track (102) has been damaged to indicate that the label has been tampered. Alternatively, the RFI D capability of the RFID components may be disabled when the tamper track (102 ) is damaged, indicating tampering.
Patent CA-2390048-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KANNOU MOTOKATSU
IPC: G01M11/02
Filed: 2002-06-28
Abstract: A light source produces laser beams that are subjected to frequency modulation whose frequency can be adequately set or varied. A light modulato r modulates laser beams with respect to the center wavelength, so that the low er sideband is used as probe light input into one end of the measured optical fiber. A pulse modulator produces laser pulses based on laser beams as pump light, which is input into the other end of the measured optical fiber, along which correlation peaks emerge at different positions. The output light is extracted from the other end of the measured optical fiber and is supplied to a timing adjuster, which adjusts a transmission timing to allow transmission of light proximate to a measuring point in the measured optical fiber therethrough. Thus, it is possible to reliably measure characteristics of the measured optical fiber entirely over the relatively long distance with high spatial resolutions.

Patent CA-2398595-A1 (CA)
Title: Shock absorber with air pressure adjustable damping
Inventor: BELL STEPHEN H
IPC: B60G17/04
Filed: 2002-08-19
Abstract: A vehicle suspension assembly includes a shock absorber that provides variable damping dependent on the load conditions of the vehicle. A central rod of the shock absorber includes a central bore that is fluidly coupled with air pressure within air springs of the suspension assembly. As the vehicle load increases and the pressure within the air springs increases, a damping adjustment assembly within the shock absorber increases the stiffness or damping of the shock absorber. In one example, a plunger moves within the central bore in the rod between a first position where less damping is provided and a second position where increased damping is achieved. A unique adapter member facilitates using a rod of appropriate size to achieve the desired air pressure conditions within the rod, while at the same time supporting conventional piston and disc valve components and providing enough material strength to withstand the tensile loads experienced under full extension. The adapter also includes a check valve to control fluid flow and provides a hydraulic cushion feature.

Filed: 2002-08-19
Abstract: To assure the mixing of detergent into a wash solution during an initial portion of a wash cycle in a clothes washing machine, particularly a horizontal axis or tumble-type washing machine, an additional operational step is employed wherein an inner tub or wash basket of the machine is rotated at a higher than normal speed to create a turbulence for the purpose of mixing and distributing the wash solution. Most preferably, this additional step occurs shortly after the washing machine has been filled with water for a programmed washing operation.

Title: Method and apparatus for power control of multiple channels in a wireless communication system
Inventor: CHEN TAO
IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 2001-02-13
Abstract: Techniques to control the transmit power of multiple transmissions in wireless communication system. A transmitting source (e.g., a base station) receives from a receiving device (e.g., a remote terminal) a number of feedbacks of one or more (coded or uncoded) bit streams and possibly one or more messages. The bit stream may include one or more power control sub-channels used to send one or more metrics (e.g., power control commands, erasure indicator bits, or quality indicator bits) for one or more sets of channels. The bits allocated for each sub-channel may be aggregated to form one or more lower rate feedback sub-streams having improved reliability. The transmit power of two or more channels can be (1) independently adjusted based on the feedbacks from respective sub-channels, or (2) adjusted together based on feedback from one sub-channel, with the power difference being adjacent based on feedback from another sub-channel.

Title: Combination oven with three-stage water atomizer
Inventor: RAGHAVAN JEMBU K
IPC: A47J27/16
Filed: 2000-10-11
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a combination convection and steam oven having a three stage atomizer for breaking up supply water prior to vaporization. The atomizer includes a motor-driven fan having an atomizer cup at its hub which revolves with the fan about an axis of rotation. The atomizer cup has rectilinear or concave walls defining pockets having lengthwise slots at their corners.  As the atomizer cup is rotated, supply water is fed into the cup so as to impact the inner surfaces and shear as it exits through the slots under centrifugal force, which directs the water through the fan blades.  The supply water thereby is broken up by three separate actions prior to vaporization.
