Patent CA-2190558-A1 (CA)
Title: Water temperature setting structure of a combination faucet
Inventor: KO HSI-CHIA
IPC: F16K11/074
Filed: 1996-11-18
Abstract: A water temperature setting structure of combination faucet, including a temperature setting sleeve and an adjustment bolt. The temperature of discharged water can be quickly directly set by the temperature setting sleeve and the adjustment bolt. In the case that the setting is not completed yet, a user only needs to microadjust the adjustment bolt through a small distance so as to quickly set the temperature of discharged water. Once the adjustment bolt is loosened, the temperature setting projection is only moved forward through a small distance and stopped by the right side of the engaging block so that the water temperature will not be excessively increased so as to avoid scalding of the user.

Title: Methods for preparing integral black matrix/color filter elements
Inventor: ISBERG THOMAS A
IPC: G02B5/22
Filed: 1995-05-30
Abstract: A method for the manufacture of a matrix on a substrate, said matrix being particularly useful in the formation of color filter elements, the process comprising the steps of: a) providing an imageable article comprising a substrate having on at least one surface thereof a black layer, b) directing energy of sufficient intensity at said black layer to transparentize black layer, c) said directing of energy being done so that black layer is removed in some areas, but is not removed in other areas so that borders of black layer surround areas from which black layer has been removed. A preferred method deposits colorant material within the open areas of the matrix by thermal transfer, e.g., laser induced thermal transfer, of colorant material to form a filter element.

Title: A mechanism for enabling secure electronic transactions on the open internet
Inventor: APTE JITENDRA
IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 1997-05-12
Abstract: A method is provided for performing a transaction that is initiated over an opencommunication network between a user and a remotely located server. The open communication network may be the Internet, for example. In accordance with one embodiment of the method, a transaction identification number is received from the remotely located server over the open network and subsequently, communication between the user and the remotely located server is discontinued. Communication is established between the user and a transaction server. The transaction server is operatively coupled to the user and the remotely located server over a communication network which is isolated from the open network. The transaction identification number is transmitted to the transaction server over the communication network. After the transaction server confirms the validity of the transaction identification number, in response to a request from the transaction server, a transaction authorization number is transmitted over the communication network to the transaction server to complete the transaction.

Title: A frame synchronization circuit and communications system
Inventor: KAWAHARA TOSHIROU
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 1997-09-05
Abstract: Likelihood calculating circuit A1 calculates the humming distance between a received data series and a unique word as likelihood data d1. Likelihood calculating circuit A2 calculates the number of transmission errors using redundant data, and outputs this value as likelihood data d2. Likelihood data d1,d2 are added at adding circuit 21, and the output thereof is compared to the threshold value of determination circuit with threshold 22. The results of this comparison are output as determination signal with threshold DT. Synchronous determination circuit 23 generates a synchronous determination signal SD based on determination signal with threshold DT. Accordingly, the present invention provides a frame synchronization circuit in which it is possible to avoid out of synchronization or false synchronization, without increasing the amount of redundancy necessary to detect frame synchronization.

Title: Electronic article surveillance system with adaptive filtering and digital detection
Inventor: TAO SAMUEL H
IPC: G08B13/24
Filed: 1996-03-19
Abstract: An electronic article surveillance (EAS) system includes an asynchronous noise suppression adaptive filter which removes asynchronous interference from the signal of interest with minimum distortion of the transients emitted when a sensitized tag is interrogated. The system also includes a synchronous noise suppression filter which removes interrogation synchronous noise from the signal of interest. The resulting EAS system increases the likelihood that a sensitized tag will be detected when one is present and reduces the occurence of false alarms.

Abstract: A single mode optical waveguide having reduced polarization mode dispersion and a method of making such a waveguide is disclosed. Perturbations (6, 8) are introduced into the waveguide core (4) to couple power between the two polarization modes. A model calculation shows that the perturbation length may be of the order of the correlation length. The inventive waveguide is robust in that polarization mode dispersion is reduced even if perturbations (6, 8) are impressed on the fiber after manufacture.

Title: Motion vector estimation system
Inventor: MIZUNO MASAYUKI
IPC: H04N19/503
Filed: 1998-03-05
Abstract: A method and system for motion vector estimation are disclosed, which are used for encoding a moving picture, even in the case where a limited search window is used.      In such a system, a reference picture storing section (101) stores reference picture data and a current picture storing section (102) stores a current picture data. A motion vector estimating section (103) takes matching between the current picture data and the reference picture data to estimate a motion vector having the minimum difference. A motion vector statistics processing section (104) calculates an average value and a histogram from each picture of an estimated motion vector. A shift vector setting section (105) calculates a shift vector of a motion vector search window based on the average value and histogram in each of coded pictures. A search window designating section (106) designates a motion vector to be searched according to the calculated shift vector so as to cause the motion vector estimating section (103) to estimate the motion vector.

Title: Method and apparatus for in situ field stator bar insulation capacitance mapping
Inventor: GARWATOSKI FRANK JOSEPH
IPC: G01R31/34
Filed: 1998-04-23
Abstract: A capacitance mapping tool consisting of an improved capacitance probe head assembly having an inflatable electrode bladder mounted at the end of a telescoping support pole is provided for enabling a service technician to accurately position the probe head assembly between stator bars of a large electric motor or power generator from a remote location. Using the tool, capacitance measurements of insulation on stator bars can be obtained without removing the field. The tool is constructed such that it can be inserted between the field generating component (e.g., the rotor) and the stator windings of a large motor or power generator, thus, precluding the need for field removal. A bendable articulated tip section, which remains in a particular bend arrangement until manually reconfigured, is provided at one end of the tool where the capacitance measuring probe head is attached. This allows the probe head to be preconfigured at a particular angle with respect to the support pole and the stator bars prior to inserting. The probe head includes a bladder support plate which acts as a spacer and is adapted to accept one or more additional spacer plates for changing the overall width of the probe head to adjust for different spacings between stator bars. The pole supports an electric cable from the probe electrode to a remote electric meter and an air hose to a remote fluid source for inflating/deflating the probe bladder. The pole may also support a mount for a miniature TV camera. A remote actuator for controlling the fluid source to inflate and deflate the probe bladder is provided and adapted to worn by a service technician when performing measurements. A portable kit is provided which consists of the capacitance mapping tool, various accessories such as a video camera mounting bracket, probe spacer plates of various widths, electric cable lengths, vacuum tubing lengths and a belt mounted pressure actuator switch box.
