Patent CA-2298810-A1 (CA)
Title: Addressable vehicular lighting system
Inventor: SCIFRES DONALD R
IPC: F21V8/00
Filed: 1998-07-23
Abstract: A vehicle (10) with a plurality of individually addressable light sources (25), preferably semiconductor laser light sources or light emitting diodes, each of which produces a beam of light, are optically coupled to a fiber optic waveguide (28a, 28b, 29a, 29b, 30a, 30b). The laser light sources (25) are grouped together preferably at a single location within the vehicle for easy access and conveniently located within the vehicle. Fiber waveguides waveguide (28a, 28b, 29a, 29b, 30a, 30b) distally transmit the beams to the optical loads of the vehicle, including the brake lights (13), taillights (12), instrumentation lights (17) and tum signals (15). Each fiber optic waveguide (28a, 28b, 29a, 29b, 30a, 30b) may be a single optical fiber, such as a multimode fiber, having a numerical aperture large enough to receive illumination from a plurality of light sources. In cases where some optical loads require a larger flux or brightness of light, such as vehicular headlights (16), which may be greater than a single optic fiber can transmit, the waveguide may comprise a bundle of optical fibers. Multiple light sources to a single optical output load allows switching to another operational light source or increase the intensity of remaining light sources should one light source fail.   In this manner, the operational life of the vehicular lighting system is increased. Also disclosed is circuitry for operating applications of the system as well as illustrating the employment of color wavelength laser light sources.

Title: Multistream in-band-on-channel systems
Inventor: SUNDBERG CARL-ERIK WILHELM
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 2000-03-28
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing information, e.g., audio, speech, video or image information, for transmission in a communication system. In an illustrative embodiment, a set of bit streams are generated from an audio information signal. The set of bit streams may be, e.g., a total of four bit streams generated by separating each of two multiple description bit streams, corresponding to separate representations of the audio information signal, into first and second class bit streams. The first and second class bit streams associated with the first multiple description bit stream may then be transmitted in respective first and second subbands of a first sideband of an FM host carrier, while the first and second class bit streams associated with the second multiple description bit stream are transmitted in respective first and second subbands of a second sideband of the FM host carrier. The first class bit streams may be provided with a different level of error protection than the second class bit streams, e.g., by utilizing different portions of a non-uniform power profile for the corresponding subbands, or by placement of the bit streams in subbands having different susceptibility to interference. Delay may be introduced between at least a subset of the bit streams in order to provide improved performance, e.g., in the presence of fading.

Inventor: CHOLEVA TIBOR
IPC: A01K27/00
Filed: 2000-04-04
Abstract: Ordinary dog leashes are known to have the hand loop permanently attached to the main body of a leash, thus creating the unmovable noose effect. Innumerable times tried and tested, the concept is safe and secure, yet unpractical and troublesome on many occasions. In this invention the hand-loop can be disengaged and reengaged into four different positions, using the chainsnap and steel ring combination. This enables a handler of the leash to adjust the length of the leash, and eliminates the need for timely, unpleasant and insecure tying of the leash around objects using knots when need arrives to leave one's pet unattended in public place.

Title: Procede de recuperation assistee d'hydrocarbures par injection combinee d'une phase aqueuse et de gaz au moins partiellement miscible a l'eau
Inventor: RENARD GERARD
IPC: E21B43/20
Filed: 2000-04-18
Abstract: - Procédé de récupération assistée d'un fluide pétrolier par injection combinée d'une phase aqueuse saturée en gaz acides. - Le procédé consiste essentiellement à injecter de manière continue dans le gisement pétrolier un mélange d'une phase aqueuse et de gaz au moins partiellement soluble dans la phase aqueuse et au moins partiellement miscible avec le fluide pétrolier, en contrôlant le rapport des débits de la phase aqueuse et de gaz de telle sorte que celui-ci soit toujours en condition de saturation ou de sursaturation en fond du ou des puits d'injection. La phase aqueuse saturée ou sursaturée en gaz entre en contact avec le fluide pétrolier présent dans le gisement. Le gaz dissous dans la phase aqueuse est transféré au moins en partie à la phase hydrocarbure liquide provoquant le gonflement et la réduction de viscosité de cette phase, ce qui favorise la migration du fluide pétrolier vers une zone de production. Comme gaz, on utilise de préférence des fractions acides d'effluents issus du sous-sol ou d'industries chimiques ou thermiques. - Application à la récupération assistée d'hydrocarbures dans des gisements.

Abstract: A method for making multi-channel structures suitable for use as filters, catalyst carriers or the like. A composite rod (11) comprising an outer shell (12) and an inner core (13) is formed of respective mixtures of powders. The mixture for the outer shell comprises a sinterable powdered structural material such as ceramics, metals, intermetallics, and a powdered binder. The inner core comprises a powdered channel-forming filler material that can differentially be removed from the structural material of the shell. The composite rod (11) may be deformed, as by extrusion, to reduce its diameter. A  bundle (14) of composite rods (11A) is assembled and deformed, as by extrusion, to reduce the diameter of the bundle (14) and of its component composite rods. Further bundles (17) of the reduced diameter bundles (14A) of composite rods may be likewise deformed by extrusion to reduce further the diameter of the component composite rods of the successive bundles, thereby also increasing the number of such rods per given cross section area of the bundle. The final assembly of bundles (17A) is consolidated and the binder is removed, as by heating, followed by removal of the inner cores of the composite rods of the assembly of bundles and sintering of the remaining structure of ceramic or metal, as the case may be. In certain embodiments, the material of the inner core may be removed by heating it in the course of heating the structure to perform the sintering step. In other embodiments, the binder and/or filler material may be removed by means of a suitable solvent.

Title: Digital content downloading system using networks
Inventor: MORIYAMA TERUHIKO
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2000-10-16
Abstract: In cases where a consumer desires to receive digital content from a digital content retailer through a network, information designating the digital content and a digital content transmission condition such as a transfer rate and a transmission time-zone are sent to the digital content retailer through the network. The digital content retailer reserves the transfer rate and the transmission time-zone in the network and downloads the digital content to the consumer through the network at the digital content transmission condition according to the reservation.      After the downloading of the digital content is completed, the consumer pays a charge for the digital content itself and a transmission charge corresponding to the digital content transmission condition to a credit company, the credit company pays the charges to the digital content retailer, and the digital content retailer pays the transmission charge to a network operator managing the network. Therefore, the consumer can specify a time condition like the transmission time-zone for the downloading of the digital content. Also, because it is not required that the consumer directly pays the transmission charge to the network operator, the payment of the consumer can be efficiently performed.
