Patent CA-2528302-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LATOUR JACQUES
IPC: H04B1/16
Filed: 2005-12-19
Abstract: A receiver device has a receiver having one or more tuners for demodulating one or more AM (Amplitude Modulation) and/or FM (Frequency Modulation) radio frequency broadcast audio signals. One or more signal processing devices convert demodulated signals into respective data streams each having a respective streamed media audio format. Each data stream is transmitted to a respective destination address. A graphical user interface provides remote users with information on radio broadcasters that are available for listening. This allows a remote user to select a particular radio broadcaster for listening. The device can be connected to a network, and users, which may be in locations where AM/FM reception is weak, can nonetheless have access to radio broadcasts. In some implementations, the receiver device is implemented in a router, a PC (Personal Computer), a server, or in any suitable audio and/or video equipment.
Patent CA-2528828-A1 (CA)
Title: Female stimulation device
Inventor: DANN JEFFREY A
IPC: A61H19/00
Filed: 2003-12-23
Abstract: A female stimulation device (10) comprising a resilient device body (14) having a partially deformable tip portion (16), a flange (26) and an intermediate side wall portion (22) extending outwardly from the tip portion to the flange (26). In use, the tip portion (16) is compressed to force air out of the device body and the flange (26) is placed in contact with vaginal wall tissue so that the clitoris (39, 39') is encompassed by the device body (14). Release and restorative deformation of the tip portion (16) causes a partial vacuum within the device body (14), which maintains the device in place and provides suction to the clitoris (39, 39'). The intermediate side wall portion (22) is substantially non-deformable in response to deformation of the tip portion (16), as may be achieved with outwardly convex side walls, thereby preventing deleterious entrapment and compression of the clitoris (39, 39'). Pharmacologically active materials (40), such as vasoactive agents, substances, and medications, may be applied to the device for contact with the clitoris (39, 39') during use in order to further enhance female sexual function.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for drying pastes, liquors and aggregate materials by means of a heat integrated and/or heat pumping process and/or apparatus is disclosed. This includes a heat pump or heat integrated apparatus operable in a drying apparatus with the heat pump evaporator (36) or cold heat exchanger in primary thermal contact with the drying gas medium (33) after said drying gas medium (33) has taken up moisture from the material being dried (35) and the heat pump condenser (14) or hot heat exchanger (36) in primary thermal contact with the material being dried and with both the drying gas medium (33) and any heat pump refrigerant in nominally closed loop circulation paths (22).  This process and apparatus may provide improved efficiency and reduced costs by reducing the required flow of drying gas through the system since that drying gas is no longer the primary means for supplying heat to the material being dried.

Title: Interactive display system having a digital micromirror imaging device
Inventor: VELIGDAN JAMES T
IPC: G02B6/08
Filed: 2004-08-20
Abstract: A display system includes a waveguide optical panel having an inlet face and an opposite outlet face. A projector cooperates with a digital imaging device, e.g. a digital micromirror imaging device, for projecting an image through the panel for display on the outlet face. The imaging device includes an array of mirrors tiltable between opposite display and divert positions. The display positions reflect an image light beam from the projector through the panel for display on the outlet face. The divert positions divert the image light beam away from the panel, and are additionally used for reflecting a probe light beam through the panel toward the outlet face. Covering a spot on the panel, e.g. with a finger, reflects the probe light beam back through the panel toward the inlet face for detection thereat and providing interactive capability.

Abstract: This is a trolling lure. This lure works extremely well on spring and coho salmon, and any game fish worldwide that eats small baitfish, in fresh or saltwater.  Fish this lure with a 40 pound test 36 inch to 54 inch leader. Tie the leader directly to the swivel on flasher or dodger. The other end of the leader push through the 1/16" hole in the front inside curve of the lure. Guide leader on the outside curve into the 3/32 the inch hole in the tail. Tie the leader to the swivel and hook th en pull the knot into the 3/32 inch hole. when fish is hooked the lure slides up the line. Troll this lure fairly slowly it will roll five times to the right, 10 times to the left, then 10 times to the right etc.. Reasons for this lure is the lure is well balanced and the 40 pound test loads up forcing it back the other direction. With the action a flasher or dodger applies to this lure plus the lure alternating its role from right-left-right every eight to 10 seconds creates an action fish find irresistible.   This invention relates to the action created by a certain degree of bend on a piece of lexan in water resulting in successful fishing.

Title: Method for positioning using gps in a restrictive coverage environment
Inventor: FORD THOMAS J
IPC: G01S19/26
Filed: 2005-07-15
Abstract: A system consisting of a base GPS receiver with a clear view of the sky, one or more remote GPS receivers with restricted views of the sky and a processing center that batch processes range information provided by the GPS receivers determines the positions of the remote GPS receivers to within tight tolerances. The base GPS receiver and the remote GPS receivers produce range information based on the satellite signals that the respective receivers can track at a given time, and provide the range information to the processing center. The range information includes both code and carrier measurements for each of the signals that are being tracked by the respective GPS receivers. The center collects the range information over an extended period of time, for example, hours, days or weeks, and then batch processes the collected information in multiple passes through the data, to calculate the precise latitude, longitude and height of the receiver. The center batch processes the data using a floating ambiguity filter that, after a first pass through the data, is initialized with the position calculated in an earlier pass. The center also calculates the quality of the collected range information by fixing the position and position covariance of the floating ambiguity filter and using double differences with the base GPS receiver measurements, to ensure that the information used in subsequent position calculations is sufficiently reliable.
