Patent CA-2312111-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RULIS DEAN A
IPC: D21F1/52
Filed: 2000-06-21
Abstract: An automatic control system for a papermaking machine having a plurality of variable dewatering devices with moveable elements which engage the conveyor carrying the paper stock and are adjusted by electrical operating devices, such as servo motors or solenoid valves, to vary their water removal rate in response to control signals produced by a computer controller. A plurality of sensors are spaced along the path of the paper sheet downstream from the variable dewatering devices to sense the paper sheet characteristics including light transparency and mass, and to apply sensor output signals corresponding thereto to the computer controller.      The servo motors have their shafts coupled to adjustment devices for cam mechanisms which adjust the moveable elements of the variable dewatering elements. The variable dewatering elements include a variable angle foil, a variable height blade, a variable width slot Uhle box, a variable width pickup device, and a variable pulse turbulation blade, whose moveable elements are adjusted to change their water removal rates. Shaft position encoders on the servo motors or other operating devices produce feedback position signal which are applied to inputs of the computer controller to indicate when the moveable elements reach their desired adjustment positions. A variable pulse turbulation blade with an adjustable in-going angle is provided with a cam-operated adjustment device that maintains the blade height constant while adjusting the in-going angle to prevent fiber clumps and to provide the paper sheet with a more uniform consistency.

Title: Tapered ridge vent for the peak or ridge of a framed roof structure
Inventor: HENDERSON JOHN C
IPC: E04D13/17
Filed: 2000-08-30
Abstract: A roof vent device formed from upper and lower outer surfaces sized to define a generally rectangular configuration having a linear axis. A tapered matrix is positioned between the outer surfaces, the taper being directed in a direction perpendicular to the axis to define a thin linear edge and a thick linear edge along the outer edges of the configuration that are parallel to the axis and tapered linear edges along the outer edges of the configuration that are perpendicular to the axis. The tapered matrix has a gap located proximate the middle of the tapered linear edges and extending generally over the linear axis of the outer surfaces. The gap defines an entrance for an air to vent air from beneath the roof ridge out the thick linear edge. The gap further provides a pivot point about which the configuration folds to conform to a roof pitch having a predetermined angle. In one embodiment the matrix is tapered from one outer edge to the gap and the remaining portion of the matrix is generally level. In the preferred embodiment, the taper extends from one linear edge to the other. In a preferred embodiment, a baffle extends out from the thick linear edge and is shaped to deflect outside air away from the thick linear edge without inhibiting air flow out of the linear edge from the air tunnel entrance.

Patent CA-2322138-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHAFFER J DAVID
IPC: G06F5/00
Filed: 1999-12-13
Abstract: A code compaction based on macro substitutions is presented wherein the choice of possible macro substitutions is guided by an evolutionary algorithm process. In a preferred embodiment, a random population of sets of macro substitutions are generated and a compaction effectiveness is evaluated for each set. This random population is partitioned into pairs of "parents", and each pair of parents produce a pair of "offspring". The effectiveness of the compaction provided by each of the offspring is evaluated, and a "survival of the fittest" algorithm is applied to identify the individuals that have the best compaction effectiveness. These preferred individuals are partitioned into pairs of parents who produce pairs of offspring, and the most compaction-effective individuals are selected to be parents for the next generation. This process continues until subsequent generations show insignificant improvement, and the best individual is selected as the solution.

Title: Motion control methodology for a high-speed inserting machine or other mailing apparatus
Inventor: SALAZAR EDILBERTO I
IPC: G07B17/00
Filed: 2000-11-07
Abstract: A methodology for generating a motion profile for an axis of a motor in a mailing apparatus, the linear or angular motion of the motor axis imparting a motion to a sheet or envelope being conveyed by the mailing apparatus. The methodology includes four processes for generating a segment of a motion profile, depending on whether, for the segment, absolute positional synchronism (of the motor axis to be controlled relative to another motor axis) is needed, or whether a so-called quick step is needed, i.e. a change in velocity corresponding to acceleration that varies during the step. The processes include: forward integration, given the jerk (acceleration per unit time) and starting acceleration as well as initial values of position and velocity; non-parabolic displacement mapping (sometimes called electronic gearing) relating the motion of the axis to be controlled to the motion of another axis where the function expressing the mapping is not parabolic in the commanded or actual position of the other axis; integration based on a velocity equation that is parabolic in time; and a parabolic displacement mapping, i.e. a displacement mapping using a function that is parabolic in the actual or commanded position of a reference axis.

Title: System and method for selectively defining access to application features
Inventor: GERSHFIELD JAMES N
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 1999-07-15
Abstract: A method and system are described for defining a user's access to one or mor e features of an application. One or more "attributes" are assigned to users o f a computer system (5) and stored in a data table (11, 13, 15). Each attribut e has a name which designates the feature to which access is being defined (e.g., the ability to access data within the database), and a value defining  the limits of access. Attributes may be assigned in groups to eliminate the burden of preparing attribute assignments one by one for each user. When an application is run, the attributes are retrieved and enforced such that the user's access to the features of the application is defined in accordance wi th the retrieved attributes.
