Patent CA-2370345-A1 (CA)
Title: Rotating light source system for detecting an obstruction in a space, for use in a mobile storage system
Inventor: HOUSH ROBERT A
IPC: G01V8/22
Filed: 2002-02-04
Abstract: An object detection system for use in detecting the presence of an object within a space, such as in an aisle of a mobile storage system bounded by at least one mobile storage unit, includes a pair of pivotable light emitter/receiver unit located outwardly of each side of the space and a series of reflectors located outwardly of each side of the space. Each emitter/receiver unit includes a pivotable emitter which emits a beam of light which passes across and through the space and impinges upon the reflectors located outwardly of the opposite side of the space. A receiver associated with each emitter/receiver unit receives reflected light from the reflectors.  The presence of an object within the space prevents the light beam from reaching one or more of the reflectors, and the absence of one or more reflected light beams is detected such that operation of the mobile storage unit is prevented until the object exits or is removed from the space.
Patent CA-2371735-A1 (CA)

IPC: B60N3/00
Filed: 2002-02-12
Abstract: A platform and platform support system for an occupant cabin of a vehicle. The platform support system has a primary supporting structure and a prop, the combination of which provide full support for the platform. The prop of the platform-support system can be engaged to one of a plurality of prop support points. The platform is supported in a different unique position by the platform support system when the prop is engaged to each different one of the plurality of prop support points. The platform includes accommodations for storing the prop in the platform when the prop is not in use as a support for the platform. The platform and platform support system can be included as part of a bed for the occupant cabin of a vehicle. Because the platform can be selectively supported in one of a plurality of unique positions, a user of the bed can configure the platform support system to provide a bed that is positioned to allow for a more comfortable sleeping environment for various circumstances.

Title: Refuse collection vehicle with dual storage chute system
Inventor: BOIVIN CLAUDE
IPC: B65F3/20
Filed: 2002-02-28
Abstract: A refuse collection vehicle is provided with a dual chute system for receiving sorted refuse from curbside containers that have one or two compartments. A powered lifting system elevates the curbside container, dumping sorted refuse into the dual chute system. A divided diverter plate with two panel portions present within the vehicle chute allows an operator to direct refuse into selected, segregated storage compartments within the refuse vehicle. In this manner, presorted refuse from the curbside container may be collected without any intermingling of such presorted refuse. The diverter plate has one driven portion and one free swinging portion. These portions may be joined by a temporary link to allow the free swinging panel portion to be positioned by the driven panel portion.

Title: Scalable memory
Inventor: EKANADHAM KATTAMURI
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2002-03-12
Abstract: A memory structure and method for handling memory requests from a processor and for returning correspondence responses to the processor from various levels of the memory structure. The memory levels of the memory structure are interconnected by a forward and return path with the return path having twice the bandwidth of the forward path. An algorithm is used to determine how many responses are sent from each memory level on the return path to the processor. This algorithm is designed to guarantee a constant bound on the rate of responses sent to the processor. More specifically, if a write request is at the same level to which it is targeted, or if a request at a memory level is targeted to a higher memory level, then two responses are forwarded from a controller at the memory level on the return path to the processor. Otherwise, only one response is forwarded from the memory level on the return path.

Title: Sparse feedback in high delay-low bandwidth wireless systems
Inventor: LIU ZHIGANG
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2000-10-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for eliminating the inefficient use of network bandwidth cause by numerous acknowledgement transmitted by the receiver to the transmitter by providing sparse feedback from the receiver to the transmitter indicating receipt of packets having headers to be used as reference headers. In the invention, upon receipt in the receiver of a packet having a reference header, a feedback is provided to the transmitter indicating receipt of the packet having the reference header. Thereafter, the receiver waits a predetermined period of time before providing another feedback in response to another packet having a reference header. The predetermined period of time allows time for the feedback to be received by the transmitter and for information from the transmitter indicating receipt of the feedback to be received by the receiver.
