Patent CA-2412912-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GROSS JONATHAN H
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 2001-06-22
Abstract: The present invention corrects for Doppler shift in both forward and reverse  links in a cellular communications system (10) including an airborne repeate r. A reverse link pilot reference signal in a band similar to a communications signal band is received at a reverse link processor, and the Doppler shift i n the reverse feeder link is corrected based on the reverse link pilot referen ce signal. The Doppler shift in the forward feeder link is also corrected based  on the reverse link pilot reference signal prior to the forward feeder link being affected by the Doppler shift. The present invention also compensates for signal strength variations due to changing flight pattern positions of t he repeater. Pre-compensation for forward feeder link path losses due to moveme nt of the airplane (35) is performed to cause communications signals transmitte d to and from the cellular communications system repeater to have identical strength before the signals are transmitted to the system user cell phones (18) within the area of coverage.

Patent CA-2416584-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DUAN HUI
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 2001-07-27
Abstract: As disclosed herein, the present invention is directed to unique gene cassettes, and methods for their use, wherein the gene cassettes comprise multifunctional transgenic DNA sequences that completely, or nearly completely, excise themselves from the genome of plants into which they are introduced. The excision process is triggered in response to specific intern al or external stimuli by means of excision/recombinase systems in unique combinations and orientations within the multifunctional transgenic sequence s. Complete, or nearly complete, removal of the heterologous DNA significantly reduces the possibility of uncontrolled propagation of the transgenic specie s and may, more importantly, permit crops produced from transgenic plants to b e co-mingled with non-transgenic crops for marketing purposes.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système d'imagerie numérique qui facilite la localisation des ancrages ou cibles dans des images de scène. Dans un aspect, ce système d'imagerie numérique utilise des différences entre les propriétés des surfaces de ces cibles et les propriétés de la surface de l'objet à mesurer, reconstruire etc., de façon à faciliter l'illumination uniforme de ces cibles lors de l'enregistrement d'un ensemble d'images de scène. Ce processus permet de réduire le bruit qui pourrait survenir lors de la détermination des localisations des cibles si elles étaient illuminées par illumination structurée, ces objets pouvant être illuminés par illumination structurée lorsque les images sont enregistrées. Dans cet aspect, ce système d'imagerie numérique peut utiliser les positions des cibles dans les images pour relier un système de coordonnées local associé à cet ensemble d'images à un système de coordonnées global. Dans un deuxième aspect, ce système d'imagerie numérique utilise un ou plusieurs algorithmes parmi une pluralité de ceux-ci pour déterminer les localisations des cibles des image de la scène dans les objets respectifs. Dans cet aspect, le système d'imagerie numérique enregistre deux ensembles d'images, comprenant un ensemble de lignes de base et un ensemble de travail.

Abstract: A remotely training system (220) provides instruction to one or more users at the same or different times in an interactive manner that provides actual responses to the actual user inputs during instruction. Within the system, the user computer and additional networked computers typically cannot be crashed by the user inputs. Further, the present invention can provide online interactive instruction with high response speeds that substantialy match speeds that would occur if a single user were providing instructions to computers, which they alone were accessing. A user accesses a remote system which has multiple virtual machines (210,212,214) arranged to form a virtual network. Within this virtual environment, a user can reconfigure software and operating system settings as well as test software applications without being required to have the software and hardware resources locally available and without fear of damaging the remote system.
