Patent CA-2264240-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHMERSEL ROBERT JOHANNES BERN
IPC: H04Q3/545
Filed: 1997-08-21
Abstract: A system and method for conforming the service profiles for non-call-related store-and-forward messages to those applicable to calls in an Intelligent Network (IN) telecommunications system comprising several Intelligent Peripherals (IPs) (911-914) connected to a Service Control Point (SCP) (901) over a network. When an IP (913) handling outgoing calls and messages receives an outgoing message or when an IP (911) handling incoming calls is queried by a subscriber (920-923 and 930-932), the IP (913, 911) interrogates (945, 941) the SCP (901) to determine whether any IN services such as restriction control and number translation have been requested, selected or imposed by or on either the sending or the receiving parties. The SCP (901) acknowledges (946, 942) the interrogation (945, 941) and returns the generated results to the IP (913, 911) for further processing, optionally by retrieving and analyzing a service script (902) corresponding to either the originating (930-932) or the terminating (920-923) party.

Patent CA-2275812-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COLSON WENDELL B
IPC: B29C65/00
Filed: 1999-06-21
Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for fabricating a laminate product having a pair of sheet materials spaced by a plurality of flexible parallel vanes which are secured to the sheet material so that planar movement of the sheet materials in opposite directions cause the vanes to shift between open and closed positions. The vane material is formed from a web of material by dyeing the material, drying the dyed material, applying spaced longitudinally extending lines of adhesive on opposite faces of the material, and cutting the material into a plurality of side-by-side strips with each strip having a bead of adhesive on each face and along opposite side edges. The cut material with adhesive applied thereto is taken up on a transfer roll and moved to a vane/strip handling station where the strips of material are processed and delivered to a laminating station in parallel overlapping relationship with each other. The laminating station feeds the sheets of material above and below the strips to form the laminate before passing it through the laminating station where the adhesive is first heat activated to bond the component parts of the covering product together, and subsequently pooled to cure the adhesive. The resultant product is wrapped around a take-up roller for delivery to a remote location where the product can be cut to size and operably connected to a control system to form the final covering product for an architectural opening.

Patent CA-2276336-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MELI DANIELE
IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 1999-06-25
Abstract: A method and device is described for the numeric control of buffer and phase-locked loop for the recovery of the synchronism and the optimized management over communication networks having a high jitter like, e.g., networks in which the ATM mode (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), is used. The innovation resides in the buffer management which is carried out according to the input phase statistic characteristics (in part known a priori and in part measured by the system) as well as to its measured value (which is equivalent to the buffer filling level) thus introducing the concept of statistic pointers. This allows an optimal management thereof and also permits to control the buffer overflow and underflow probabilities. Moreover, by associating the present device with another phase locked device, it is possible to obtain a high frequency stability of the reconstructed sync signal, attenuating at a large extent the jitter introduced by the network, even at a very low frequency.

Patent CA-2293980-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HE GANG
IPC: G01J4/02
Filed: 2000-01-07
Abstract: In order to provide polarization independent operation over a wide range of wavelengths, an optical spectrum analyzer comprises a diffraction grating (DG), a polarization decomposing unit (PD) for decomposing the input light beam into first and second light beams having mutually-perpendicular linear states of polarization, and two output ports (FP2/1,FP2/2) each for receiving from the grating, substantially exclusively, a respective one of the polarized light beams (LT,LR) after diffraction by the diffraction grating (DG). Each of the linearly-polarized light beams is directed onto the diffraction grating with its linear state of polarization at any prescribed angle to a corresponding plane of diffraction of the diffraction grating. The arrangement is such that the state of polarization of the light beams, at any particular wavelength within an operating band of the analyzer remains substantially unchanged with respect to time. The analyzer also may have a reflector (RAM) for reflecting the light beams leaving the diffraction grating after diffraction a first time so as to return them to the diffraction grating for diffraction a second time.

Title: Method for estimating optical flow
Inventor: ROY SEBASTIEN
IPC: G06T7/20
Filed: 2000-01-26
Abstract: A method for estimating the optical flow between a plurality of images is provided. The method includes obtaining a motion orientation component and a motion magnitude component. Determining the motion orientation component includes creating, a first graph using spatio-temporal derivatives of the plurality of images, solving for a first maximum-flow in the first graph to thereby obtain a first minimum-cut therefrom, and computing the motion orientation component from the first minimum-cut. Determining the motion magnitude component includes creating a second graph using spatio-temporal derivatives of the plurality of images and the motion orientation component, solving for a second maximum-flow in the second graph to thereby obtain a second minimum-cut therefrom, and computing the motion magnitude component from the second minimum-cut. The motion orientation component and the motion magnitude component together comprise the estimate of the optical flow between the plurality of images. The method properly models errors in the measurement of image derivatives while enforcing a brightness constraint, and efficiently provides a globally optimal solution to the optical flow in the context of the model.

Title: Method for large scale mutagenesis in crop plants
Inventor: LEVY AVRAHAM A
IPC: A01H1/04
Filed: 1998-09-10
Abstract: The present invention enables the rapid and large-scale production of mutants in crop plants. This is accomplished by utilizing a miniature plant which can be crossed with a commercial plant of the same species. Mutations are induced in the miniature cultivar, and the mutants subsequently identified in the resulting mutant plant population. Mutant genes of interest can be introgressed into a commercial cultivar by crossing selected mutant miniature plants with the commercial cultivar. Reverse genetics can be undertaken using a plant population of the miniature crop which contains random T-DNA or transposon insertion events and screening this population for insertions into genes of interest. Likewise, the miniature plant population is transformed with a DNA construct comprised of a promoter-less screenable marker gene within a mobile DNA. The mutants derived from this construct are rapidly screened for expression of the screenable marker gene and the promoter operably linked to the screenable marker gene in these transformants is cloned.

Title: Soft, prioritised early packet discard system
Inventor: WIBOWO EKO ADI
IPC: H04L47/32
Filed: 2000-06-13
Abstract: A Soft, Prioritised Early Packet Discard System is provided, which is suitable for satellite onboard switching and very-high-speed terrestrial switching applications. The system counts the number of newly arriving packets, calculates and regularly updates an average queue size, which is used in setting a packet-count threshold via a descending staircase function. When the number of newly arriving packets reaches the packet-count threshold and when the average queue size reaches or exceeds the congestion threshold; a packet is discarded and the packet-counter is reset to zero. The counting of packets is halted while the average queue size remains below the congestion threshold. The regular dropping of packets allows simplified hardware implementations. In calculating the average queue size, a progressively higher exponential queue-length averaging parameter is used for higher instantaneous queue length, to provide faster reaction to congestion situations. The averaging parameters and packet-count thresholds are implemented using lookup tables. A priority-based method is incorporated to better match the Quality of Service requirements associated with a service class.
