Patent CA-2602361-A1 (CA)
Inventor: QUICK ROY F
IPC: H04Q7/38
Filed: 1998-01-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing soft hand-off in a mobile communication system. In current systems, members of an active set of base stations (4, 4A, 4B, 4C) are determined by comparing measured pilot energy with fixed thresholds. The value of providing a redundant communication link to a mobile station (2) primarily depends on the energy of other signals being provided to the mobile station (2). In the present invention, the signal strength of each signal transmitted by other base stations (4, 4A, 4B, 4C) in communication with a mobile station (2) is considered when determining whether to add a base station to the set of base stations (4, 4A, 4B, 4C) in communication with the remote station. A base station is added only if the signal received from that base station provides sufficient added value to justify the impact on system capacity.

Title: Medication safety system featuring a multiplexed rfid interrogator panel
Inventor: HOAG ROBERT E
IPC: G16H40/60
Filed: 2006-05-10
Abstract: A medication safety system includes a panel mounted to an IV pole above a multi- channel infusion pump also mounted to the IV pole. The panel includes multiple RFID readers for reading the RFID tags placed on each of the medication containers mounted to the panel. The pump includes a controller that communicates with the RFID readers at the panel to receive the information read by the RFID readers and automatically program the respective pump channel. A verification program verifies that the medication delivery information from the containers matches the patient identified for the pump and the programming parameters of the pump fall within acceptable ranges. In another aspect, the panel contains multiple vibration devices to impart vibrations to the medication of each of the containers mounted to the panel.  Those vibrations are sensed by the particular pumping channel to confirm that the correct channel has been programmed for that medication. When the clinician opens the door of the pumping channel, the pump may request information from the RFID reader at the panel for that medication and may wait for receipt of the vibrations in the medication of the tubing mounted into the channel.

Patent CA-2613449-A1 (CA)
Title: Image stabilization system
Inventor: DICKERSON BRUCE A
IPC: G02B27/64
Filed: 2006-06-29
Abstract: Imaging systems in which an undedicated optical component is configured to undergo corrective motion and/or other correction of image data, and thus to function as a stabilization component. Because an undedicated optical component functions as the stabilization component, the stabilization occurs upstream, rather than downstream, from separation of the incoming image data into two or more beams. As a result, only one stabilization component is required regardless of whether the system is configured to split the image data into multiple data channels, and imaging systems as described herein therefore may be particularly well-suited for integration into a shared-aperture imaging system.

Title: A motor grader blade control system
Inventor: MAEDA KENICHI
IPC: E02F3/76
Filed: 2006-07-20
Abstract: One end of each lift cylinder (11a, 11b) is connected to a lifter bracket (7) via a first support means (20a, 20b), and the other end is connected to a draw bar (3) via a second support means (21a, 21b). In a plan view of a motor grader, the one end and the other end of each lift cylinder (11a, 11b) are offset in the front-rear direction of the motor grader, and as a result, the pair of the lift cylinders (11a, 11b) is placed tilted in a side view of the motor grader. This enables, in the side view, the one end of each lift cylinder (11a, 11b) to be in substantially the same height as the lifter bracket (7), so that driver~s view is nearly unaffected by the pair of the lift cylinders.

Abstract: A device and method are proposed in which the sender divides an amount of data to be sent into one or more data units and the receiver acknowledges the correct receipt of data units by returning acknowledgement data units to said sender. The data units are sent by said sender in accordance with a flow control procedure that involves one or more adaptive parameters. After a given data unit is sent, the sender performs a data loss detection routine, and if a triggering event occurs, a corresponding response procedure is conducted, where this response procedure comprises at least two different modes for adapting said one or more adaptive parameters. Preferably, there is a first and a second mode, where the first mode is associated with the actual loss of a data unit, so that this first mode comprises the conventional data loss procedures, and where the second mode is associated with the recognition that an excessive delay has taken place and not a loss of unit.
