Patent CA-2476645-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for automatic backlight adjustment
Inventor: LOWLES ROBERT J
IPC: H04N5/66
Filed: 2004-08-05
Abstract: A method and system for automatically adjusting a backlight intensity level for displays is disclosed. The system and method are implemented in electronic devices having a camera and digital backlit displays, such that the camera is used to determine an ambient light level and the backlight level is adjusted according to the determined ambient light level. In particular, when the camera is not in use for capturing images by the user, the automatic backlight adjustment system captures a first image with the camera to determine an initial ambient light level, and then captures a second image with the camera at a later time to determine a subsequent ambient light level. The subsequent and initial ambient light levels are compared to each other and the backlight intensity level is either increased or decreased a predetermined amount for optimal viewing and low power consumption. Backlight intensity determination can be performed on the basis of a single image instead of a differential between two images.

Filed: 2003-11-07
Abstract: Reverse Link (RL) data rate allocation in a High Data Rate (such as 1xEV-DO) system as a function of Forward Link (FL) channel quality. Rate shaping of a throughput profile for multiple Access Terminals (ATs) is performed by adjusting transition probabilities associated with a data rate allocation algorithm. The RL maximum data rate per AT is adjusted to reduce the loading in a designated area and result in rate shaping of the cell and/or sector. In one embodiment, the maximum data rates are adjusted as a function of the FL  Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR), such as measured per serving sector or as a captured sum total of FL SINR. In still another embodiment, the maximum data rates are adjusted as a function of differences in rise~over-thermal values between neighboring sectors.

Title: Syringe spring retainer
Inventor: THORLEY CRAIG STEPHEN
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2004-03-19
Abstract: A spring retainer (60) for a syringe (10) that has a barrel (40), a plunger (20), a spring (90) and a retractable needle (50) that can couple with the plunger for spring-driven retraction of the coupled needle and plunger. The spring retainer has first (70) and second (80) body members that cooperate to releasably maintain the spring in a compressed state until the plunger is coupled to the retractable needle after depression of the plunger to deliver the fluid contents of the syringe. Depression of the plunger triggers rotational disengagement of the first and second body members to allow decompression of the spring which forces retraction of the needle into the barrel. Rotational disengagement of the first and second body members also assists rotation of the plunger into a final, inoperable position.

Patent CA-2529581-A1 (CA)
Title: Mixing device
Inventor: ZENTNER UDO
IPC: B01F7/04
Filed: 2004-04-05
Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve an existing mixing device in such a manner that for a predetermined reactor length retention time is increased and the material which is to be processed is transported at essentially the same speed irrespective of the radial distance thereof from the rotational axis. As a result, at least one row of blades is arranged on each shaft and each row of blades comprises at least two individual blades and the blades are fixed to the shaft at an incidence angle a in relation to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The blades are curved in themselves such that the blades form an angle of incidence a on the fixing point of the shaft and an angle of incidence .szlig. on the outer diameter D<SB>A</SB>. By virtue of the fact that a row of individual blades is used instead of a continuous screw, efficient mixing of charging material and coke can be achieved, the angle of incidence is reduced from the inside to the outside and the axial speed of the particles which are to be mixed is evened out on the total cross-section of the reactor, thereby enabling a stop-type flow to be obtained.
