Patent CA-2324224-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RUZICKA JEROME E
IPC: H04R5/04
Filed: 1999-03-19
Abstract: An apparatus for realistically reproducing sound includes a front speaker (20) located in proximity to the video image for providing acoustic output based upon a summation signal of the component left and right (L + R) channels of the audio signal. A rear speaker (26) located to the rear of the viewing area provides acoustic output based upon a difference signal, (L - R or R - L), between the left and right channels. The left and right side speakers (22, 24) are located to the respective left and right sides of the viewing area. The left side speaker (22) provides two acoustic outputs in accordance with a band limited left channel signal and a band limited difference signal. The right side speaker (24) provides two acoustic outputs in accordance with a band limited right channel signal and a band limited difference signal. Band limiting substantially filters out frequency components below a predetermined threshold.

Title: Anonymous and secure electronic commerce
Inventor: JAKOBSSON BJORN M
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2001-03-06
Abstract: Anonymous delivery and payment techniques for use in conjunction with electronic commerce are disclosed. A user, upon entering into an electronic transaction with a merchant, provides the merchant with a unique identifier.  For each transaction entered into by this user, the unique identifier provided to various merchants changes. Upon receipt of the identifier, the merchant places the identifier on a label on a package containing the goods to be delivered to the user and provides the package to a trusted third party shipper. The shipper accesses a database to associate the identifier with a particular user's address. The shipper thereafter replaces the label with a label containing the user name and address and delivers the package to the user. Various techniques are disclosed for the generation, storage, and use of the unique identifiers by the user and shipper.    Further, an anonymous payment technique may be coupled with the anonymous delivery technique which allow the shipper to authenticate the payment amount agreed to by the user so that the shipper can pay the merchant for the goods and recover the amount paid from the user.

Patent CA-2363377-A1 (CA)
Title: System and method for inverting automatic frequency control (afc)
Inventor: SIMMONS SEAN B
IPC: H04L27/00
Filed: 2001-11-21
Abstract: A system and method for inverting automatic frequency control applied to a reference signal used to process an input signal is disclosed. When receiving an input communication signal, a receiver controls the frequency of the reference signal to compensate for frequency differences between a transmitter and a local oscillator in the receiver. The frequency control applied to the reference signal causes frequency variations in a resultant signal processed signal when the input signal is processed using the reference signal. The frequency of a second reference signal is controlled such that further processing of the resultant processed signal removes effects of the frequency control applied to the reference signal. The processing which applies frequency control to the reference signal is performed in real time while the inversion process is performed in a separate processing section.
