Patent CA-2375786-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEVIN JEFFREY A
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 2000-06-09
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil d'accès multiple par répartition en code sans fil, qui permettent de calculer le débit à l'émission d'un signal vocal/de données entre une station mobile et une station de base. Des vocodeurs à débit variable transmettent la parole à une fréquence de trame prédéfinie, choisie parmi plusieurs fréquences de trame prédéfinies, un récepteur servant par ailleurs à calculer le débit à l'émission sur la base d'un paramètre de trame choisi parmi plusieurs paramètres de trame, l'un d'entre eux portant sur l'énergie de trame. On mesure non seulement l'énergie de trame à la réception sur toute la longueur de la partie concernée de cette trame, mais aussi l'énergie sur la moitié de la trame qui ne contient de l'énergie que si une trame est envoyée à plein débit, et si l'énergie mesurée dépasse un certain seuil, on indique alors ce plein débit. Sinon, on mesure l'énergie sur le quart d'une trame qui ne contient de l'énergie que si une trame est envoyée à demi-débit, et si l'énergie dépasse un certain seuil, on indique alors ce demi-débit. Enfin, on répète cette procédure pour un quart et un huitième de débit.

Title: High capacity thrust bearing
Inventor: BEASLEY THOMAS R
IPC: F16C32/06
Filed: 2000-05-25
Abstract: A high capacity thrust bearing is disclosed for use in a tubular drilling string to support axial loads resulting from upward or downward jarring forces. The thrust bearing comprises an inner mandrel and an outer housing. A mandrel pressure chamber string and a housing pressure chamber string are journalled between the mandrel and the housing. The mandrel pressure chamber  string and the housing chamber string are arranged to form a number of individual pressure chambers. Alternating pressure chambers contain high pressure fluid or low pressure fluid, thereby forming a repeating pressure differential between adjacent chambers. As loads are applied axially to the drill string, such as jarring loads, the pressure differential over the surface area of the pressure chambers provides a thrust bearing. The thrust bearing is rotatable by its connection to the drill string.

Abstract: A cordless blind contains one or more springs in the bottomrail of the blind. Preferably the spring is a constant force spring motor and is connected to at least one cord collector in a manner to maintain tension on the cord collector. The tension causes the lift cords to be collected on the cord collector when the cord collector and the lift cords are free to move, thereby moving the bottomrail toward the headrail. Preferably, a lock mechanism is attached to the cord collector or the lift cords. The lock mechanism has a locked position wherein the lift cords are restrained from being collected on the cord collector and has an unlocked position that allows the lift cords and cord collector to move.

The seal carrier is positioned in the pipe bore at a location radially opposite the slip to resist deformation of the pipe when the slip is compressed into gripping contact with the pipe. In addition, a connector for connecting a first composite pipe with a second composite pipe is described. The pipe-to-pipe connector includes a double seal carrier (220) of unitary construction positioned within the end of the first pipe (202a) and within the end of the second pipe (202b).

Title: An unrolling transformation on nested loops
Inventor: TAL ARIE
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 2002-06-28
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a transformation technique for nested loops. A virtual iteration space may be determined based on an unroll factor (UF). The virtual iteration space, which includes the actual iteration space, is formed such that, the virtual iteration space may be evenly divided by a selected UF. Once the virtual iteration space has been calculated or determined, the virtual iteration space is "cut" into regular portions by one or more unroll factors. Portions of the actual iteration space which do not fill the cut portions of the virtual iteration space or which fall outside these cuts which have been evenly divided by the unroll factor form a residue which is calculated. The portions of the actual iteration space which remain are also evenly divided by the unroll factor(s). An outer loop for this remaining portion of the actual iteration space is then unrolled. This unrolled portion forms a perfect nested loop. Accordingly, the operations for the unrolled remaining portion of the actual iteration space when combined with the operations for the residue of the actual iteration space which was not evenly divided by the unroll factor is, in appropriate situations, semantically equivalent to the original nested loops.  Aspects of the invention are applicable to rectangular and triangular loop nests, and combinations thereof. Moreover, the invention is applicable to loops having n-dimensions.
