Patent CA-2275246-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WONG WILLIAM S
IPC: B60W50/029
Filed: 1997-12-10
Abstract: A fault-resilient automobile control system integrates diverse and separate automobile components and provides fault-tolerance to component failure. The automobile control system includes a master control unit (MCU) electrically coupled via a primary data communications bus to the electronic automobile components. The MCU is master of the bus and manages data flow over the bus among the electronic automobile components. The MCU can be configured with a routing table to route data monitored in one component to one or more other components. The MCU is also capable of performing the same functions as those performed by local controllers at the eletronic components. During initialization, driver software for all of the local controllers is downloaded and stored at the MCU. In the event that a local controller fails, the MCU executes the driver software for the failed controller to remotely control the electronic automobile component in place of the failed local controller. Switching logic is installed at each of the electronic components to selectively route data to the primary bus, circumventing the failed controller. The automobile control system has a secondary control unit (SCU) electrically coupled to the MCCI via the primary bus. The SCU is a standalone computer that supports clients and other devices on a secondary support bus.  The SCU is also configured to backup the MCU. During normal operation, the SCU  is subordinate to and controlled by the MCU on the primary bus. In the event that the MCU fails, however, the SCU assumes control of the data communications network and manages the data flow among the electronic automobile components.

Inventor: COOPER GARY LEONARD
IPC: B62B5/00
Filed: 1999-07-07
Abstract: The carrier includes a pair of interconnected frames each having a wheel and an elongated rod for supporting a water-craft.       A leg is pivotally connected to one frame.

Patent CA-2277553-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MALAKATAS NICOLAS
IPC: F41G5/08
Filed: 1999-07-13
Abstract: A method for engaging one or several aerial targets by means of a firing group (10) of autonomous, but cooperating, firing units (12, 112), wherein each one has a fire control unit (14, 114) and at least one weapon (16, 116). Several firing units (12, 112) are linked by a signal transmission system (70), which connects their fire control units (14, 114). Each, fire control unit (14, 114) autonomously monitors its airspace area for enemy aerial targets. Subsequently, each fire control unit (14, 114) determines a threat assessment, for which the monitoring results of all fire control units (14, 114) are used. The selection of an aerial target to be engaged by a firing unit (12, 122) is subsequently made by the associated fire control unit (14, 114) on the basis of the threat assessment and on the basis of the status of the weapons (16, 116) of the entire firing group (10). Firing groups (10) of this type are preferably used for engaging rapidly moving aerial targets in order to defend friendly object to be protected against the action of the aerial targets.

Title: Backwards-compatible failure restoration in bidirectional multiplex section-switched ring transmission systems
Inventor: RAYCHAUDHURI KAMAL KUMAR
IPC: H04J3/08
Filed: 1999-07-26
Abstract: A restoration procedure for use in bidirectional multiplex section-switched ring transmission systems re-establishes a connection path by using a loopback connection at nodes bordering the failure and by then establishing a jumpered connection path, for each active tributary affected by the failure.      The jumpered connection path at affected node eliminates any unnecessary loop formed in the re-established connection path caused by the loopback connection at the border nodes. There is stored in memory at each node (1) the provisioned connection path, (2) the jumpered path, and (3) a jumper flag is set indicating that a jumper connection exists. When the failure is cleared the (1) jumpered path is removed and its record erase from memory, (2) the provisioned connection path is restored, and (3) the jumper flag is reset.      Advantageously, the this operation can be programmed into existing node controllers and is compatible with existing restoration procedures.

Abstract: Statistical classification of activities of molecules is a computer implemented methodology of QSAR employing visualization of molecular features and statistical techniques for correlating features of molecules with their observed biological properties. Each molecule is described by noting the presence (1) or absence (0) of a feature of interest. The identification of specific features coded by 1's or 0's is accomplished by recursive partitioning. The data sets are planned or unplanned. The method is also applicable to classification of individuals in biological populations on the basis of their genetic makeup.

Abstract: A lottery game includes two or more different denominational levels for game tickets, i. e., two or more groups of tickets with tickets in each group being priced differently from tickets in the other groups. All tickets. in any one group are priced identically to one another. Wagers received from each ticket group are placed in a corresponding jackpot pool according to the denominational level or amount of the tickets sold for that pool. All wagers for each denomination are processed by a single central controlling authority, with wagers being distributed to each separate pool according to the corresponding wager denomination. Thus, the present game may provide a series of different and separate jackpot pools corresponding to each ticket price or denominational level.      Jackpots or prizes are awarded from each pool to the winning bettor holding a ticket corresponding to that denominational level and jackpot. Alternatively, the pools may be combined and divided in accordance with the total amount of each wager denominational level group. The game may run for a predetermined period of time, or to a predetermined date, or through the sales of a predetermined number of tickets in a given denominational group or groups, as desired. Prizes (e, g., automobiles, etc.) may be awarded in addition to money, at the higher or highest denominational levels.      A percentage of each pool, or of the combined total, may be retained by the operating authorities for overhead, charitable or government use, etc., if so desired.

Patent CA-2301482-A1 (CA)
Inventor: POUPORE THOMAS H
IPC: C22B11/02
Filed: 2000-03-21
Abstract: Complex ores of metals and precious metals which also contain iron spinals and similar compounds are assayed and their metals content is extracted by subjecting the ores or concentrates thereof together with an aluminum reducing agent and certain other fluxing agents including calcium oxide and a collector metal such as copper. When heated to a critical temperature an aluminothermic reaction occurs and a melting point is reached to reduce all of the mixture, the metals with or without a collector metal and the non-metallics to the slag component. After cooling, separation of all metals can be achieved either through an electrolytic process or a selective chemical dissolution process, leaving all of the recovered metals for analysis and recovery. In some ores, collecting agents are not required. This process is scalable, meaning, either assaying or a beneficiating process for run of mine production.

Title: Sag compensator for suspended lines
Inventor: SHIRMOHAMADI MANUCHEHER
IPC: H02G1/04
Filed: 1999-08-06
Abstract: The invention uses one or more scissor devices, or disks, or cogs such that the axial thermal expansion of a coupling member is amplified such that this amplified movement is used to automatically mitigate the sag of a suspended line; the same ambient temperature change that causes the line to sag concomitantly causes the coupling member to expand, so that sag mitigation is passive and automatic. The invention comprises a device for automatically mitigating thermal expansion sag in suspended lines comprising a coupling member or actuator rod (140) that expands axially with increasing temperature and that is mounted between the proximal arms (110) of a reverse-scissor component (60), said reverse-scissor component having first arms (70) and second arms (80) and a hinge (90) and said arms having distal ends (100) longer than proximal ends (110). Said distal arms are insulated by insulators (130). The reverse hinge acts such that when the proximal arms are moved apart, the distal arms are brought together. The distal arms of the reverse-scissor component are attached to a power line (120) such that when the distal arms are brought together, the slack in the power line is taken up automatically as ambient temperature increases.
