Patent CA-2206654-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BECKMAN JOHN A
IPC: B62D21/12
Filed: 1997-05-30
Abstract: A full perimeter vehicle frame is described having two siderails and at least one cross member having a zigzag shape which allows it to be easily removable from the siderails.  The removable cross member can be square or tubular in cross section and is configured having a first end and a second end which are parallel, but offset from each other and a central portion which extends at an angle between the first end and the second end.  The siderails each have an aperture which extends through the siderail from an inner side to an outer side of each siderail.  One of the apertures is located at an axial position on a siderail which is offset from the other aperture located on the other siderail. These two apertures are offset the same axial distance as the amount of distancethe first and second ends of the cross member are offset from one another.  In this configuration, the first end of the cross member is positioned in one of the apertures located in one of the siderails while the second end is positioned in the other aperture located in the other siderail.  The cross member is easily installed by positioning one end of the cross member in an aperture in one of the siderails while the other end is positioned to lie in a plane above or below the other siderail.  By laterally moving the inserted end, the free end can be rotated towards its associated siderail, and the free end of the cross member can be inserted into the aperture in that siderail.  The reverse actions are taken to remove the cross member from the siderails.

Patent CA-2215530-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GASKILL GAROLD B
IPC: H04W84/02
Filed: 1996-03-08
Abstract: Des paquets sont transmis selon différentes longueurs (21, 26) de blocs en fonction de la vitesse de déplacement de l'appareil récepteur (24, 29). La longueur (21, 26) du bloc de paquets est choisie de manière à minimiser les effets de salves d'erreurs survenant au niveau de l'appareil récepteur. Les salves d'erreurs sont diffusées entre tous les paquets dans le bloc de paquets par entrelacement des paquets les uns avec les autres, avant leur transmission. L'appareil récepteur désentrelace alors les paquets pour leur rendre leur format d'origine en diffusant les salves d'erreurs entre tous les paquets dans le bloc de paquets. Etant donné que chaque paquet contient seulement une petite proportion de la salve d'erreurs, on peut utiliser des schémas de code de vérification et de correction d'erreurs afin de corriger les erreurs sur un bit dans chaque paquet, accroissant ainsi la probabilité d'une transmission réussie de tous les paquets.

Title: Cellular adjunct to a public wired network
Inventor: WHITE TIMOTHY R
IPC: H04W84/04
Filed: 1996-05-03
Abstract: A cellular adjunct system for extending telephone service provided by a wired telephone network to cellular handsets without incurring the costs associated with implementing a full-featured cellular system. The cellular adjunct system includes a base station subsystem and a cellular adjunct control block. The base station subsystem includes ratio resource management facilities for permitting the plurality of cellular handsets to communicate with the base station subsystem in a cellular manner. The cellular adjunct control block, which is coupled between the base station subsystem and switching networks in the public wired telephone network, includes a registry, a mobile switching center, and a mini-central office. From the perspective of the public wired telephone network, the cellular handsets appear to be wired telephone sets that are managed by the cellular adjunct control block. The fact that the cellular adjunct system offers wireless advantages typically associated with a standard full-featured cellular system is transparent to the public wired telephone network. When subscriber management for the cellular handsets is handled by the public wired telephone network, the implementation of the cellular adjunct system is substantially simplified.

Title: Spread spectrum receiver for use in communication systems
Inventor: NAKANO TAKAYUKI
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1997-11-24
Abstract: A spread spectrum receiver for use in a mobile communication system is provided which includes a plurality of spread spectrum demodulators, a diversity combiner, a power level detector, a correlation determining circuit, a signal combination determining circuit, and a demodulator phase control circuit..

Title: Identification and locating transponder for implants
Inventor: KNAPP TERRY R
IPC: A01K11/00
Filed: 1996-03-27
Abstract: A passive transponder (28) may be encoded with a binary number or code of 64 bits or more and then associated with or mounted to virtually any implant intended for implantation in a human including temporary implants such as drug release implants (130) and organ displacement devices (134). After implantation, the transponder's code may be conveniently read with a hand-held electromagnetic reader (34) which may merely be brought within proximity of the transponder (28). The encoded transponder (28) may thus be read in a non-invasive procedure and without the use of any sophisticated or potentially harmful medical equipment or technology such as X-rays. Where the position of the implant in the human changes over time, or is otherwise unknown to attending medical personnel, the transponder and implant can be located by using a strength of signal indicator on the electromagnetic reader (34). The information encoded in the transponder may simply be a tag for locating the implant, or may correspond to patient demographics and implant data to aid in tracking the implant and patient for medical as well as legal reasons.

Title: Method and apparatus for item recommendation using automated collaborative filtering
Inventor: LASHKARI YEZDEZARD Z
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1996-06-18
Abstract: A method for recommending items to users using automated collaborative filtering stores profiles of users relating ratings to items in memory.  Profiles of items are also stored in memory, the item profiles associating users with the rating given to the item by that user. Similarity factors with respect to other users are calculated for a user, and these similarity factors are used to select a set of neighboring users. The neighboring users are weighted based on their respective similarity factors, and a rating for an item contained in the domain is predicted. In one embodiment, items in the domain have features. In this embodiment, the values for features can be clustered, and the similarity factors incorporate assigned feature weights and feature value cluster weights.
