Patent CA-2191931-C (CA)
Inventor: NOBLE JACK
IPC: B64C9/00
Filed: 1996-12-03
Granted: 2003-07-01
Abstract: A first upright leg has an upper end pivoted to the body of an aircraft by a first bracket secured to the aircraft skin, alongside a second leg pivoted to the aircraft by a second bracket. The bottom ends of the first and second legs are pivoted to a load bearing member which extends ;generally upward between them. The load bearing member has a load connection pint for pivotal attachment of the aft end of an aircraft trailing edge flap track thereto. Upward force applied at the load connection point by the aft end of the track biases the first leg, second leg and load bearing member to a stable central equilibrium position from which the aft end of the track can move laterally a few inches in either direction. Such force is transmitted primarily through one of the legs, rather than through both legs, and is applied to the body of the aircraft primarily as shear rather than as a punch load.

Title: Make your own cigarettes
Inventor: MATTEAU ROBERT
IPC: A24D1/00
Filed: 1996-12-12
Granted: 1999-06-15
Abstract: A non-smokable tobacco product comprises a rod or stick-shaped element of cigarette tobacco with a filter element at one end and both enclosed by a tubular wrapper. The product is rendered unsmokable by a perforation extending through the wrapper of the tobacco or the filter element so that when air is drawn through the filter substantially all of the air enters through those perforations, there being insufficient air flow through the tip end to propagate normal cigarette combustion of the tobacco at that location or to permit any appreciable amount of smoke reaching the smoker's mouth. The product is rendered smokable by the user covering the perforated region of the wrapper by means of a strip, a sliding band, or a ring which blocks air flow through the perforations and thus converts the product into a self-made cigarette that can be smoked in the manner of a regular cigarette.

Title: Multimedia information service access
Inventor: CIVANLAR MEHMET REHA
IPC: H04N21/6543
Filed: 1997-04-07
Granted: 2001-09-11
Abstract: Real time delivery of multimedia information accessed either through the Internet, or otherwise, simultaneously, or sequentially time delayed to one or more users, is enabled by delivering the multimedia information over a switched network via a multipoint control unit. A client establishes a connection with a server, or other remote location where desired multimedia information is resident, identifies the desired multimedia information and provides client information identifying the locations of the users. The client information may include the telephone numbers or other access numbers of each of the multiple users. The multimedia information is then delivered by a multimedia server to a bridging apparatus through a switched network guaranteeing high quality of service, secure connection and billing control. Connecting one or more users to a live agent is also made possible by providing the telephone numbers of the users and the live agent directly to the multipoint control unit. The delivery of the multimedia information can be secured by comparing the client information to a segmented "to call" list to determine whether the client is authorized to receive the requested multimedia information. Alternatively, or in addition, security can be implemented by mounting a video camera at the client's endpoint and connecting a database running face recognition software to the multimedia server. The multimedia server's call to the user triggers the camera to take a picture of the user. The selected content is restricted to authorized users by comparing the picture to pictures of authorized faces stored in the database.

Abstract: Il est décrit un circuit de synchronisation de puce AMRC pour un système de communication mobile employant un procédé à accès multiple par répartition en code AMRC, par exemple un procédé à accès multiple par répartition en code à étalement direct (DS-CDMA). Le circuit est conçu pour réaliser une détection de la synchronisation de réception à trajets multiples, notamment poursuite synchrone, dans un environnement à faible rapport porteuse/bruit où des trajets multiples sont reçus de manière chevauchante. Ici, un récepteur radio transforme des signaux radiofréquence en signaux en bande de base numériques, et une section de recherche détecte la synchronisation de réception relativement aux composantes à trajets multiples contenues dans les signaux en bande de base numériques. La détection de la synchronisation de réception est utilisée comme position centrale pour la réception sur un axe temporel. Le récepteur radio est en liaison avec des récepteurs à trajets multiples, chacun d'entre eux contenant un certain nombre de corrélateurs produisant des valeurs de corrélation entre les composantes à trajets multiples et des codes d'étalement dc qui sont retardés selon des retards différents respectifs. Ici, les corrélateurs correspondent à des intervalles de temps prescrits qui s'écartent de la position centrale de réception sur l'axe temporel. Les signaux de sortie de corrélateurs sont stockés temporairement dans une mémoire. Le récepteur à trajets multiples choisit périodiquement un signal de sortie de corrélateur présentant une meilleure qualité de réception parmi les signaux de sortie de corrélateur pour chaque intervalle de temps prescrit correspondant à une période pilote. La détection synchrone s'effectue au moyen du signal de sortie de corrélateur choisi. Les signaux de sortie des récepteurs à trajets multiples sont combinés selon un rapport maximum pour ainsi produire des données de réception.
