Title: System and method for peak power reduction in multiple carrier communications systems
Inventor: HUNTON MATTHEW J
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2001-06-19
Abstract: A system and method for signal peak reduction in a multiple carrier communication system where the individual carriers are produced from input symbols that are filtered to reduce individual carrier bandwidths, offset in frequency, and combined into an output signal. A multiple carrier peak reduction unit (12) is provided which modifies the input carrier symbols so that the combined output signal does not exceed a predetermined peak limit value. The multiple carrier peak reduction unit includes filter predictors (54) that predict the effect of each channel filter (30) on that carriers input symbols by using filter coefficient values corresponding to the impulse response function of each filter (30). The filter predictor outputs are then phase shifted, in correspondence to frequency offsets provided for in multiple carrier signal generation, and combined to produce a prediction of the combined signal output which is then processed to determine the corrections required to the individual channel symbol inputs.

Abstract: A method for serializing and deserializing program objects that is versioning sensitive. A program object is serialized into a persistent object by saving only those data fields that contain non-default data. The persistent object is deserialized to be used by a deserializing application by first creating a blank program object of the same version as the deserializing application and then populating it with the non-default data stored in the persistent object. The version of the deserializing application need not he the same as the version of the serializing application.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil de stockage froid automatique (1) et un procédé associé qui fournit un système de gestion de traitement d'échantillon, un système qui présente une approche révolutionnaire du stockage et de la récupération des échantillons critiques. On stocke des échantillons dans des conteneurs et on les récupère de manière robotisée par une chambre à contrôle climatique pourvue d'un sas (60) qui est automatiquement déshumidifiée par une purge de gaz sec, comme une purge au dioxyde de carbone ou au nitrogène ou un composant semblable. Cette purge réduit rapidement l'humidité ambiante et la ramène à une humidité relative désirable (RH), par exemple, inférieure à 15 % RH environ, en éliminant presque l'accumulation de givre. Les microplaques sont identifiées de manière systématique au moyen de la technologie du code-barre, par exemple. Une fois passée la chambre à contrôle climatique pourvue d'un sas (60), les conteneurs (les échantillons) sont transférés de manière robotisée au mécanisme rotatif (43). Ce mécanisme (43) transporte les conteneurs vers une localisation de boite dérivée sur les moyens de stockage, comme un carrousel (20) ou une des adresses fixes (26, 27).
Patent CA-2422348-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WHITE JACK D
IPC: F04C15/00
Filed: 2003-03-17
Abstract: A drive rod has pins on each end of its body. Each pin has tapered threading and little or no undercut thereby enhancing its ability to transfer rotational motion through the drive rod string by increasing the surface area through which torque is transferred.  The tapering of the threading on the pins allows for connectors having thicker walls. This means the connectors can withstand higher rotational stress. The drive rods and connectors are especially well suited for use with progressive pumps.

Title: Data entry system for personal computer
Inventor: KNAVEN PETER
IPC: G06F3/14
Filed: 2001-10-18
Abstract: In one aspect of the present invention a user can rapidly enter and search for data, such as text, using a data entry system by entering one or more characters on a digital keyboard with a pointing device. With the digital keyboard the user can create words, phrases and other character sequences. As the user enters a character sequence, a mechanism for character prediction visually informs the user of which set of characters on the digital keyboard are most likely to have the character that the user wishes to next enter as part of the text. In another aspect of the present invention, as the user forms a character sequence (partial text entry), the character sequence is used to search a dictionary for a set of completion candidates that begin with the character sequence. The data entry system retrieves completion candidates from the dictionary by determining which completion candidates in the dictionary are more likely to be the ones that the user is attempting to type.  A rapid navigation system provides for enhanced navigation and retrieval of completion candidates from the dictionary.
