Patent CA-2294948-C (CA)
Inventor: DEL CASTILLO LEONARDO
IPC: H04N7/085
Filed: 1998-06-29
Granted: 2005-03-22
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un système servant à coder des données de commande dans la région de surbalayage horizontal d'un signal vidéo. Dès lors que les données de commande sont concaténées avec le signal vidéo ligne par ligne, elles sont temporairement synchronisées avec le signal vidéo sous-jacent. Les dispositifs commandés, qui sont constitués par exemple par des personnages mécaniques télécommandés, peuvent alors se comporter comme des personnages intégrés dans une scène définie par les informations de programmation de signal vidéo. On définit pour les données codées un protocole qui est adressable, compatible avec les dispositifs futurs, tolérant des erreurs et apte à être développé en association avec un système conçu à l'origine comme un produit de divertissement pour les enfants. La largeur de bande de la liaison de communication définie par les données codées est ajustable pour satisfaire aux exigences de coûts et de performances d'une grande variété de consommateurs. Une largeur de bande suffisante est disponible pour commander plusieurs dispositifs et pour fournir un support supplémentaire pour des promotions commerciales, des souscriptions ou des services d'alerte en cas d'urgence, tels que courrier électronique, sous-titrage en langues étrangères, moyens d'intercommunications, informations de recherche de personnes par téléphones, bulletins météorologique, données de configuration pour coffrets d'abonnés, etc.
Patent CA-2300232-C (CA)
Title: Low profile heat exchange system and method with reduced water consumption
Inventor: CARTER THOMAS P
IPC: F28F27/00
Filed: 2000-03-08
Granted: 2004-10-12
Abstract: A system and method of exchanging heat are disclosed. Three heat exchange sections are used: a dry indirect contact heat exchange section, a second indirect contact heat exchange section that is operable in either a wet or dry mode, and a direct contact heat exchange section. The three sections are next to each other in an apparatus to reduce the overall height of the apparatus. The dry and second indirect contact heat exchange sections receive a process fluid in series or in parallel. Separate ambient air streams pass through the second indirect and direct contact heat exchange sections before mixing and entering the dry indirect contact heat exchange section. Another ambient air stream is mixed in upstream of the dry indirect contact heat exchange section when the system is operated in the dry mode. Two independent evaporative liquid distribution systems are included. One selectively distributes evaporative liquid over the second indirect contact heat exchange section. The other selectively distributes evaporative liquid over the direct contact heat exchange section. Separate sumps, pumps and conduits are provided for the second indirect and direct contact heat exchange sections. The system is operable in different modes to extract heat from the process fluid in the most efficient way with respect to annual water consumption. At low temperatures, the system operates dry with primary heat extraction performed by the dry indirect contact heat exchange section. At higher temperatures, evaporative liquid is distributed over the second indirect contact heat exchange section but not over the direct contact heat exchange section. At still higher temperatures, evaporative liquid is distributed over both the second indirect and direct contact heat exchange sections. A  temperature or pressure sensor may be provided so that operation of the apparatus may be based upon the process fluid temperature or pressure. Alternatively, operation may be based upon ambient air temperature.

Title: Two way packet data protocol methods and apparatus for a mobile telecommunication system
Inventor: CHUAH MOOI CHOO
IPC: H04W28/18
Filed: 2001-03-13
Granted: 2005-08-09
Abstract: Two-way resource reservation techniques for use in UMTS and other telecommunication systems. A determination is made as to whether a user requires resource reservations in both an uplink direction and a downlink direction within the system, and if the user requires such two-way resource reservations, a two-way protocol is implemented to establish the required resource reservations. The two-way protocol integrates resource negotiation procedures for both the uplink direction and the downlink direction so as to ensure that the required resource reservations are provided for both directions. The two-way protocol may be a Packet Data Protocol (PDP) based on a Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) resource negotiation procedure. The determination may be based on one or more flag bits which identify whether the user requires resource reservations for both the uplink and downlink directions. The flag bits may be associated with a Quality of Service (QoS) Information Element (IE) of the system, and may be used to permit the user to select between application of the two-way protocol and application of a one-way protocol.
