Title: One-dimensional modeling of the manufacture of multi-layered material
Inventor: COLLINS ELISA J
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2002-09-20
Abstract: In general, techniques are described for the creation and execution of accurate models for the manufacture of complex, multi-layered materials. The techniques may be used to calculate variations of a process parameter within the material during the manufacturing process. A method comprises receiving segment data that partitions a process to manufacture a material into a set of segments. For example, the segment data may partition the manufacturing processes along a path traversed by the material within the manufacturing process, and along surfaces of components within the manufacturing process. The method further comprises calculating values for a process parameter through the layers of the segments. The method may comprise invoking a one- dimensional model, such as a one-dimensional finite difference model to calculate the values for the defined segments and layers.

Title: Bandwidth allocation method and apparatus
Inventor: MACRIDIS PHILIP
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 1997-12-04
Abstract: A satellite communications system provides a communications service to a mobile terminal (2) on which different communications applications (4a to 4d) may be run. Calls are set up between any of the applications (4a to 4d) via a satellite (12) to a network management centre (18) which provides different service adaptors (20a to 20d) which adapt the calls to different types of service provided over terrestrial networks (22), such as telephony, facsimile, internet or ATM services. The bandwidth allocated to each call over the satellite link may be varied during the call according to demand either from the relevant application (4) or from the network management centre (18). Multiple calls may be connected concurrently to or from different applications running on the mobile terminal. A maximum bandwidth is allocated to each call. Efficient use is thereby made of the limited bandwidth available over the satellite (12), according to the instantaneous bandwidth requirements of different applications (4). For real- time calls requiring multiple slots per frame in a TDMA channel, the slots are mutually spaced apart to reduce delay.

Patent CA-2490779-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PETROUNEVITCH EDOUARD
IPC: H03M1/18
Filed: 2004-12-29
Abstract: This patent application describes a high-speed multi-range analog-to-digital converter (MRADC) with parallel multi-channel structure. Each channel of this MRADC  contains a sequentially connected programmable-gain amplifier (PGA) and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). All ADCs perform a simultaneous conversion of an input signal into its digital form. At the end of the conversion cycle, depending on which sub-range the input signal is located in, only one specific ADC transmits its binary outputs in parallel code to the output of the MRADC. Simultaneously, the MRADC indicates the sub-range number of that input signal. The control unit can command a change of a gain of the amplifiers in order to accommodate a wide range of input signal magnitudes. This instrument is designed to have a large dynamic measurement range that may vary over several orders of magnitude and the highest possible speed of measurement.

Patent CA-2510139-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GARLOW MARK E
IPC: H02P7/00
Filed: 2005-06-17
Abstract: A system for controlling operation of a progressing cavity pump to maintain the motor operating under power disturbance conditions. For a blackout condition, a backspin controller uses regenerative power to provide controlled deceleration of the pump, counteracting backspin and preventing backspinning freely. For a brownout condition, a power dip controller weakens the motor field to maximize pump production consistent with reduced input power availability. For a phase loss or voltage imbalance condition, a phase loss controller reduces motor power output to keep drive system output power at or below single phase capacity.
