Title: Multi-component lightweight ballistic resistant garment
Inventor: BACHNER THOMAS E JR
IPC: F41H5/04
Filed: 1999-10-15
Granted: 2004-12-07
Abstract: A ballistic resistant protective garment (10) having a ballistic resistant pad (30, 60) which has at least three panels including a first panel (62) constructed of a plurality of overlying layered sheets in which each sheet is constructed of a first type of high tensile strength woven fiber, a second panel (64) constructed of a plurality of overlying layered sheets in which each sheet is constructed of lyotropic liquid crystal polymer material, and a third panel (66) constructed of a plurality of overlying layers of composite body armor material positioned at a body side of the pad in which the first, second and third panels are in overlying relationship to one another to form the pad. The employment of the panel of layered sheets of lyotropic liquid polymer fibers introduces a synergistic effect with the ballistic resistant materials of the other panels. The synergistic effect enhances the anti-ballistic performance of the high strength material of the other panels through increased lateral energy dispersion, reduces bunching and balling of the pad in a National Institute of Justice (NIJ) laboratory test environment and further improves blunt trauma performance.

Title: Procede et dispositif servant a classifier des lots de copeaux de bois
Inventor: LABBE JACQUES
IPC: G01N21/85

Granted: 2004-08-24
Abstract: Procédé et dispositif servant à classifier des lots de copeaux de bois, par exemple, selon leurs caractéristiques de réflexion de la lumière et permettant d'optimiser l'utilisation de bois plus sombre pour des opérations de traitement de pâte à papier et de papier. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la lumière produite par un ensemble de sources d'éclairage est dirigée uniformément sur des copeaux de bois superficiels d'un lot transporté sur un convoyeur, tout en étant inspecté par une caméra située au-dessus du convoyeur. Les copeaux superficiels présentant des caractéristiques de réflexion lumineuse étant pratiquement représentatifs des copeaux du lot inspecté, la lumière réfléchie est captée par la caméra afin de produire des signaux électriques représentant des valeurs d'intensité de réflexion des copeaux de bois du lot. On exécute un traitement d'image à partir des signaux électriques produits, de manière à obtenir des données d'intensité globale de réflexion du lot inspecté, qu'on compare ensuite à des données de référence d'intensité de réflexion, ce qui permet de classifier le lot inspecté de copeaux de bois en une catégorie adéquate en fonction de ses caractéristiques de réflexion de la lumière.

Abstract: An improved stapler firing assembly and a surgical stapler are disclosed. The stapler comprises structural members having handle and base parts with opposite sides and jaw parts projecting from the handle and base parts. The stapler includes a mechanism for releasable engagement between an elongate locking member and the structural members comprising a lever lock including a hook portion adapted to pass through a slot in a base part. The lever lock is mounted on the locking member and includes first and second release buttons and actuating means mounting the first and second release buttons on opposite sides of the locking member for movement between first and second positions with respect to the locking member. The stapler firing assembly comprises a pusher adapted to move longitudinally along one of the jaw parts to sequentially press staples against an anvil. There is also present a firing handle body having opposite end portions and a mechanism mounting the handle body on the pusher for movement relative to the pusher between a first position and a second position so that the firing handle body can be positioned to be manually engaged on either side of the structured members to move the second end of the pusher along the second jaw to eject and close the staples. The invention affords convenient firing and release of the stapler from either side of the stapler.

Title: Method and apparatus for reducing frame error rate
Inventor: SCHIFF LEONARD N
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2000-07-14
Granted: 2008-11-25
Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a signal transmission power. The method of the present invention includes the steps of demodulating a received signal (401) to produce a demodulated signal (407) and distorting the demodulated signal (412) to produce a distorted demodulated signal (413). The demodulated signal (412) can be distorted by, for example, adding noise. A  signal quality measurement, such as signal-to-noise ratio, is then determined (416, 418, 502, 602) based on the distorted demodulated signal rather than the demodulated signal. An adjustment in the transmission power is then requested (420, 506, 508) based on the signal quality measurement of the distorted demodulated signal.

Abstract: A virtual addressing buffer circuit has improved address mapping and control flexibility for improved physical resource management and a unique opportunity for forward-compatible system design. The virtual addressing buffer formats the output address utilizing a format register as a combination of the new address bits and the original input address bits. The ability to format the output address enables the user to replace certain address bits without requiring that the entire address be replaced. The virtual addressing buffer controls the output of several command signals to external circuits to indicate how the system should respond to the address output from the virtual addressing server. The command signals are controlled by a command register and are output from the virtual addressing buffer only when an address match has been verified. The virtual addressing buffer circuit filters out certain bits of an input address as indicated by a filter register before it verifies that the input address matches a stored address.     The bit pattern in the filtering register is not fixed, so any bit location in the input address can be filtered out before the address is verified. Once an address match has been detected, the virtual addressing buffer replaces the entire input address with a new formatted address.
