Abstract: A slide converts a staircase into a ramp for conveying furniture, appliances, cartons and the like from one elevation to another. A narrow, elongated, rectangular, thin, flat, substantially rigid sheet is long enough to span the apices of the steps of the staircase. An upper corner tether maintains the downwardly extending sheet in a spanning relationship across the apices of the steps. The underside of the sheet is pressed downwardly by the weight of the sheet against the apices of the steps. A lower corner tether may be used to maintain the long edge of the sheet proximate the side of the staircase. For longer staircases, multiple slides are used with narrow edges serially overlapped so as to form a continuous slide spanning the steps. The direction of overlap corresponds to the desired direction of movement of articles on the slide.
Patent CA-2471592-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DOZIER CHRISTOPHER C
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2002-12-20
Abstract: Hyperlinking or associating documents to other documents based on the names of people in the documents has become more desirable. Although there is an automated system for installing such hyperlinks into judicial opinions, the system is not generally applicable to other types of names and documents, nor well suited to determine hyperlinks for names that might refer to two or more similarly named persons. Accordingly, the inventor devised systems, methods, and software that facilitate hyperlinking names in documents, regardless of type. One exemplary system includes a descriptor module and a linking module.  The descriptor module develops descriptive patterns for selecting co-occurent document information that is useful in recognizing associations between names and professional classes. The linking module tags names in an input document, extracts co-occurent information using the descriptive patterns, and uses a Bayesian inference network that processes a (non-inverse-document-frequency) name-rarity score for each name along with the name and selected co-occurent document information to determine appropriate hyperlinks to other documents, such as entries in professional directories.

Patent CA-2505853-A1 (CA)
Title: Transmission of video
Inventor: SUN KAI
IPC: H04L47/2416
Filed: 2003-11-18
Abstract: Compressed recorded video is to be transmitted over a variable bit-rate link, using bandwidth reservation. In order to determining the transmission rate that is to be used (and reserved) at any given time, in such a way as to make the two match so as to minimise wasted bandwidth, the data stream is split into chunks chosen such that the average bit rate for the chunk as a whole is no less that the average bit rate for any shorter chunk starting at the same point. The chunk can then be transmitted using this average rate without any buffering problems. Preferably one chooses chunks so that the average bit rate for the chunk is no less than that for any shorter or longer chunk starting at the same point. This has the benefit that a request for bandwidth never has to ask for an allocation that is higher than that specified in any previous such request. In systems that switch between streams of different degrees compression. the switching points can with advantage be chosen to coincide with the inter-chunk boundaries.

Abstract: The apparatus (1) for handling a finished roll (3) and a winding shaft (4) on a winding apparatus (1) for webs of material has two sliding rails (12, 13), which are pivotable independently of each other, are of a double-armed configuration and on which a transporting carriage (18, 19) which has a holding device (20, 21) for the winding shaft is respectively arranged in such a way that it can be made to move in order to hold the winding shaft, and consequently the entire roll, and be able to travel along the sliding rails. On account of the pivoting capability of the sliding rails and the traveling capability of the transporting carriages arranged on them, it is possible to make the finished roll move from the pivotable supports (5) of the winding apparatus to a setting-down station (10) and lower it onto a transporting means (8). With the aid of this transporting means (8), the roll can then be pulled off the winding shaft, it being possible in this event for one sliding rail (13) to be pivoted out of the traveling path. The winding shaft (4) can then be returned to the winding apparatus with the aid of the sliding rails.
