Patent CA-2456623-A1 (CA)
Title: Information collection apparatus, information collection method, information collection program, recording medium containing information collection program, and information collection system
Inventor: YAMATO MASAKI
IPC: G05D1/00
Filed: 2002-08-02
Abstract: A robot includes a robot sensor for sensing abnormality around the robot, moving means for moving the robot main body, and a movement control unit for controlling the moving means so that the robot main body is moved to a destination determined according to the information sensed by a fixed-position sensor fixed to a predetermined position outside the robot. The moving destination may be determined by the total control unit of the robot main body according to the information from the fixed-position sensors or by a center communicating with the robot according to the information from the fixed-position sensors. Since abnormality is sensed by the fixed-position sensors together with the robot sensor, the fixed-position sensors may have low accuracy obtained at a low cost. That is, by reducing the cost required for means for collecting external information such as the fixed-position sensor, it is possible to provide a monitoring system capable of collecting ambient information (such as abnormality information) without lowering the accuracy.

Title: Mac architecture in wireless communication systems supporting h-arq
Inventor: BOLOURCHI NADER
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2002-10-16
Abstract: A medium access control (MAC) architecture determines transmission latency a nd block error rate requirements for a plurality of data flows, each data flow having an associated priority and each data flow comprising a plurality of data blocks. The MAC architecture specifies a scheduling entity (53) that determines when transmissions are serviced, and by which hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) entity. H-ARQ entities (52a, 52b) determines whether each prior block had been successfully transmitted and, if not, request retransmission of unsuccessfully transmitted data blocks. The scheduling of the data blocks take into account whether or not the previously transmitted data blocks require retransmission. The MAC architecture allows the scheduli ng entity the ability to initiate new transmissions at any time and to reinitia te previously unsuccessful transmissions at any time.

Patent CA-2470212-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MORRIS WILFRED G
IPC: E21D21/00
Filed: 2004-06-30
Abstract: This invention is designed to secure loose rock formations in mining of all descriptions (ie: underground, open pit, tunneling, rock cuts, etc.) as well as anchor any and all objects to rock surfaces, in any and all positions.   The anchor consists of the main body that is of wedged design, threaded at the superior end to receive the bolt to be anchored. The outer shells are of a corresponding design, angled with opposing configurations to create a lateral movement against the bore hole when force from the rod is applied. The main body and shells interlock at their base.   The shells are joined by a bail that crosses over the superior end of the main body. The bail is secured to the rod and centers the shells around the main body. The resin harness is located at the superior end of the main body. When the anchor is separated, a lance punctures the spring loaded resin capsule forcing the resin into the anchoring area.
