Patent CA-2385896-A1 (CA)
Title: Platform gutter for plant breeding
Inventor: VAN ADRICHEM LEONARDUS GERARDU
IPC: A01G31/02
Filed: 2000-09-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a plant breeding gutter of platform shape that is used in a novel breeding system. The U-shaped profile of the plant breeding gutter is supported by distantly arranged suspension elements throughout its entire length. The platform top surface (9) entirely supports over its width the full width of the nutritive substratum mat (8). The legs (11) of the U-shaped profile point downward on both sides over a certain distance. This distance provides for a light entrance to the bottom edges of the sides of substratum mat (8) in order to prevent undesired root growth beyond the edges of the substratum mat (8). The lower portions are shaped as drain water channels. In another embodiment the legs (11) of the U-shaped profile include a downwardly extending wall section, a horizontal section, and an upwardly extending wall section which is spaced apart from the downwardly extending wall, by the horizontal section and which extends upwards beyond the platform level. These new external walls have openings, e.g. cutouts, in order to allow light entrance into the drain water channels and onto the bottom edges of the mat (8), thus preventing undesired root growth. All embodiments are equipped with water evacuation channels or drains.

Patent CA-2387761-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAMAD GARY LEE JR
IPC: H04W80/02
Filed: 2000-10-26
Abstract: The present invention is a novel method and apparatus for efficiently transporting and synchronizing data between the Media Access Control (MAC) and physical communication protocol layers in a wireless communication system. Depending on the length of the MAC packet to be transported, the present invention either fragments or concatenates the MAC packet when mapping to the physical layer. When a MAC packet is too long to fit in one TC/PHY packet, the MAC packet is fragmented and the resultant multiple TC/PHY packets are preferably transmitted back-to-back within the same TDD frame. When a MAC packet is shorter than a TC/PHY packet, the next MAC packet is concatenated with the current MAC packet into a single TC/PHY packet unless an exception applies (e.g., a change in CPE on the uplink or a change in modulation on the downlink). When an exception applies, the next MAC packet is started on a new TC/PHY packet following either a CTG or MTG.

Title: Point-of-sale advertisement system
Inventor: MCCORMICK DON A
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2000-12-01
Abstract: A point-of-sale advertisement system comprises a host computer having a store/lane database, an add database, group data, playlists and a playlist builder. The playlist builder comprises playlists on a lane-by-lane basis. The playlists are downloaded to a store controller running a playlist reader. The store controller communicates with a terminal application running at a point-of-sale location to control a display and other hardware at the point-of-sale location. A customer card reading unit reads data from a customer card, if available, and a scanning unit scans to identify the products being purchased.  The terminal application communicates with the store controller where the playlist reader informs the terminal application what advertisements to display. The choice of advertisements to display may be based on a customer profile if a customer uses a customer card, or the items purchased at the time by the customer, or the date and time. If the customer does not have a customer card, the advertisement system displays an advertisement based on the first item purchased that has a corresponding advertisement in the database.  If no items are purchased that have corresponding advertisements in the database, then the advertisement system displays an advertisement based on the date and time of the purchase.

Title: Architecture for dynamically monitoring computer application data
Inventor: STARKEY MICHAEL
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2002-10-25
Abstract: A dynamic application data monitoring architecture may include data collector, data provider, and widget software components. Data collectors convert application data from a native format into data instances having a logical hierarchical structure conforming to a schema which may be an XML schema. Data providers receive data instances from associated data collectors or other data providers and generate other data instances having a different logical hierarchical structure conforming to another schema which may be presentation-centric and may define features of a graphical data display mechanism (e.g. a line graph). The data provider may employ an external transform (e.g.  an XSLT). Widgets receive logical, presentation-centric data instances from an associated data source (typically a data provider) and generate therefrom a displayable graphical representation of the received data according to an operative graphical data display mechanism. The data instances may be Document Object Model document instances.

IPC: H05B41/285
Filed: 2001-07-23
Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé de détection à l'arc électrique basés sur un phénomène de rectification du courant CA dans un plasma à air qui provoque une modulation d'amplitude à basse fréquence de courants et tensions haute fréquence dans le régulateur lorsque la lampe (Lampe) est débranchée du régulateur électronique et l'énergie activée. Un circuit de protection (R25, C27, D44, D45, C28, C27, M4) coupe l'inverseur (M1 et M2) du régulateur de manière à diminuer la durée de l'arc et à rendre ce dernier quasi invisible. Le circuit de protection détecte l'entrée du réservoir résonnant (C3 et L1) de l'inverseur du régulateur qui est exempt de phénomènes transitoires causés par résonnance, détecte la fréquence de rectification de l'arc qui est environ 25 à 30 fois inférieure à la fréquence porteuse de l'inverseur, et met en marche un dispositif de commutation (M4) pour arrêter les oscillations dans l'inverseur (M1 et M2). Lorsque la lampe (Lampe) est rebranchée au régulateur, elle remet à zéro le circuit de protection et l'inverseur du régulateur redémarre automatiquement.
