Patent CA-2175111-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CONRAD ROBERT
IPC: A01C1/00
Filed: 1996-04-26
Abstract: This invention involves a method for assessing the quality of a seed lot by determining the vigor rating of a plug flat of seedlings.  The vigor rating can be determined without controlling the conditions under which the seedlings are grown.          The seedlings can be grown under optimum, greenhouse, commercial or outdoor growing conditions.    Image analysis equipment is employed to determine the vigor rating.  The image analysis equipment is used to measure the surface area of the leaves of the seedlings, calculate the standard deviation of the leaves and to calculate the germination percentage of the seedlings.  The image analysis equipment can also be used to calculate the vigor rating or the vigor rating can be determined by hand via mathematical calculation.

Title: Method and device for fire control of a high apogee trajectory weapon
Inventor: MLADJAN GARY J
IPC: F41G3/06
Filed: 1997-01-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved method and device for aiming and firing a rifle-mounted grenade launcher without having to approximate the range of a target and then manually adjust the position of subsequently fired grenades. The grenadier initiates the process by pointing the grenade launcher at the target.  The range and azimuth of the target are determined by a microprocessor controlled laser range finder/digital compass combination.  A ballistic solution is calculated by the microprocessor and the superelevation required to place the grenade on target is displayed on one of several video displays.  The grenadier then uses the vertical angle measurement capability of the laser range finder/digital compass assembly to rotate the grenade launcher to the proper angle while maintaining the proper azimuth.   The grenade is then fired on target.   The present method and associated hardware may be used as one component of a fully integrated, multi-functional, soldier-centered, computer-enhanced warfare system.
Patent CA-2199962-A1 (CA)
Title: Electronically geared sewing machine
Inventor: TICE WILLIAM A
IPC: D05B55/14
Filed: 1995-09-12
Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for electronically gearing the sewing parts of a sewing machine, and more particularly it relates to electronically gearing the bobbin to the needle to eliminate the necessity of their physical coupling through mechanical linkages and drive shafts. Servo motors provide torque to the needle, bobbin, and various other sewing parts of the sewing machine which require concerted movement. A computer uses servo motor positional information to calculate motion commands that are sent to the needle and bobbin servo motors, thereby enabling electronic gearing of the bobbin to the needle so that each moves substantially in unison. Motion commands sent to servo motors attached to various other sewing parts of the sewing machine are based on servo motor positional information to enable the sewing parts to move in concert with the needle and bobbin. Servo motors move the fabric in two dimensions during stitching, and each move of the fabric is calculated to consume the maximum amount of time available between stitches in order to dampen acceleration and deceleration of sewing parts and eliminate problems associated with machine jerk.

Title: Radio channel initial transmission scheme for mobile communication system
Inventor: NAKANO ETSUHIRO
IPC: H04W52/00
Filed: 1997-07-10
Abstract: A radio channel initial transmission scheme for a mobile communication system which is capable of reducing an unnecessary interference with respect to the other radio channels as well as an unnecessary consumption of a battery of a mobile station. In the present invention, this is realized by not carrying out a transmission of the unnecessary general information during an initial period of a radio channel set up. More specifically, only the constantly necessary information among radio channel transmission signals is initially transmitted from a transmitting side of the base station and the mobile station, at a time of setting up a radio channel between the base station and the mobile station, and then the constantly necessary information and the general information other than the constantly necessary information are subsequently transmitted from the transmitting side, after a receiving side of the base station and the mobile station becomes ready to receive the radio channel properly.
Patent CA-2211767-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FIDKOWSKI ZBIGNIEW T
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 1997-07-30
Abstract: A process is set forth for the cryogenic distillation of an air feed to produce nitrogen, particularly high pressure nitrogen of various purity, varying from low purity (up to 98% nitrogen) to ultra-high purity (less than 1 part per billion of oxygen).  The nitrogen may be produced at two different pressures and two different purities.  The process used an auxiliary low pressure separation zone in addition to the conventional high pressure column and low pressure column.  The auxiliary low pressure separation zone, which is operated at the same pressure as the low pressure column and which is heat integrated with the top of the high pressure column by means of its bottom reboiler/condenser, pretreats the crude liquid oxygen from the bottom of the high pressure column.

Abstract: A communications configuration comprising a first network medium having a first IP address and a second network having a second IP address. The configuration further includes a first host station with a first interface connected to communicate with the first network medium using the first IP address and a second interface connected to communicate with the second network medium using the second IP address. The configuration further includes a third network medium having a third IP address and a fourth network having a fourth IP address. Still further, the configuration includes a first router station coupled between the first network medium and the third network medium and a second router station coupled between the second network medium and the fourth network medium. Lastly, the configuration includes a second host station. The second host station includes a first interface connected to communicate with the third network medium using the third IP address and a second interface connected to communicate with the fourth network medium using the fourth IP address. The memory of the second host station is programmed to perform various steps. A first step detects a communications failure along a first communication path including the first interface of the first host station, the first network medium, the first router station, the third network medium, and the first interface of the second host station. A second step, responsive to the detected failure, redirects communications addressed to pass along a second communication path from the second host station to the first host station such that redirected communications are not attempted by the second host station to the first host station along the first communication path.
