Patent CA-2566265-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOCHIE ROBERT
IPC: G01M17/00
Filed: 2006-10-31
Abstract: A technical information management device includes an information manager, a data manager, a user interface builder, and a vehicle technical information database. The information manager accesses the database in order to provide a segment of the vehicle technical information to the user interface builder. The data manager receives conditioned input data from a vehicle diagnostic tool and sends it to the user interface builder. The user interface builder includes a graphics generator and a display screen formatter. The graphics generator converts the vehicle diagnostic data into graphical coordinate data and the display screen formatter formats the graphical coordinate data for real time display in a digital multimeter mode or in a scope mode. The user interface builder further can display a dual-display screen wherein half of the screen is a vehicle diagnostic data display and the other half of the screen displays vehicle technical information.

Abstract: A number of improvements in network adapters that offload protocol processing from the host processor are provided. Specifically, a mechanism for improving connection establishment in a system utilizing an offload network adapter (730) is provided. The connection establishment mechanism provides the ability to offload connection establishment (1030) and maintenance of connection state information to the offload network adapter (730). As a result of this offloading of connection establishment (1030) and state information maintenance, the number of communications needed between the host system (710) and the offload network adapter (730) may be reduced. In addition, offloading of these functions to the offload network adapter (730) permits bulk notification of established connections and state information to the host system (710) rather than piecemeal notifications as is present in known computing systems.

Title: Method and apparatus for communication in a system employing differing transmission protocols
Inventor: MALLADI DURGA PRASAD
IPC: H04J3/16
Filed: 2005-09-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus for channel estimation in a system employing differing transmission protocols as broadcast/multicast and unicast protocols. The number of pilot tones used for broadcast transmission is greater than the number of pilot tones used for a unicast transmission. The channel estimation may be significantly degraded when a symbol from a broadcast transmission slot is adjacent to a symbol from a unicast transmission slot, since the pilots of the adjacent slots are used for the channel estimate. Therefore, it is determined whether a first time slot of one transmission protocol (multicast slot) is adjacent to a second time slot of another transmission protocol (unicast slot), and if a first symbol of the unicast slot. The pilot power or/and the number of the pilot sub-carriers is/are increased for the edge symbol of the multicast slot for purposes of channel estimation using the edge symbol.

An upstream clamp assembly and a downstream clamp assembly are positioned on the travel path and each of the upstream and downstream clamp assemblies are movable to an open position to allow the first blank to pass through the upstream clamp assembly to a first location within the downstream clamp assembly. A laser welding source is directed at a weld location on the travel path between the upstream and downstream clamp assemblies. At least one locating means is operable to locate the first weld edge adjacent the weld location. A first displacement means displaces the first weld edge against the locating means. The downstream clamp assembly is movable from the open position to a closed clamped position to clamp the first blank with the first weld edge adjacent the weld location. The locating means is operable to be withdrawn from the travel path. The upstream clamp assembly is movable from the open position to an intermediate position, which is selected to guide the second blank to pass through the upstream clamp assembly in a substantially coplanar relationship with the first blank so that the second weld edge makes contact with, but not past, the first weld edge. A second displacement means displaces the second blank to a location adjacent the weld location where the second weld edge abuts the first weld edge. The upstream clamp assembly is movable from the intermediate position to a closed clamped position to clamp the second blank and the - the laser welding source is operable to fuse the first and second weld edges blanks together.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for improving the accuracy of wind tunnel measurements, especially for correcting the influence of a suspension device.  According to said method, a model, particularly an aircraft model, is introduced into a wind tunnel on the suspension device that comprises several suspension wires, and at least one sleeve is mounted on one respective suspension wire. The inventive method comprises the following steps: at least two measurements are taken on the same model configuration at least at one respective effective diameter and/or the diameter of the suspension wire in order to determine at least two raw measured values and determine a corrected final measured value for the model from at least two raw measured values.  According to a first embodiment of the disclosed method, the effective diameters of the suspension wires are reduced in at least three stages by removing mounted sleeves when detecting raw measured values of the drag coefficient of the model. A final measured value of the drag coefficient, which is corrected by the influence of the suspension device and the interference between the model and the suspension device, can be determined from the raw measured values using interpolation. According to another embodiment, the correction is made by forming the difference between only two raw measured values, one of which is determined from the diameter of the suspension wire without the mounted sleeves. The inventive method is suitable for correcting all aerodynamic parameters that can be measured in wind tunnels. The invention further relates to an apparatus for carrying out said method.
