Title: Method of controlling osi (iso) layer-two loops for telecommunication networks
Inventor: TEN CEBRIAN ANDREA
IPC: H04L12/44
Filed: 2004-06-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of controlling OSI (ISO) layer-two loops for telecommunication networks. The invention is characterised by the use of links that are disabled by a standard protocol which prevents the occurrence of loops, for the sending of messages to a single user (unicast) with a known destination. The inventive method can be used to optimise the efficiency of the network with regards to the traffic directed towards a single user between destinations that are connected by means of a medium. In this way, the method can also be used to maintain the objective of any standard loop-prevention protocol which is applied to the system for multicast and broadcast traffic, i.e. traffic which can generate flooding and other problems caused by the loops, while increasing efficiency between switches having links that have been disabled by the standard loop-prevention protocol for unicast traffic.

Patent CA-2543414-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VIJAYAN RAJIV
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2004-10-21
Abstract: Techniques for transmitting overhead information to facilitate efficient reception of individual data streams are described. A base station may transmit multiple data streams on multiple data channels (or MLCs). The MLCs may be transmitted at different times and on different frequency subbands. The time-frequency location of each MLC may change over time. The overhead information indicates the time-frequency location of each MLC and may be sent as "composite" and "embedded" overhead information. The composite overhead information indicates the time-frequency locations of all MLCs and is sent periodically in each super-frame. A wireless device receives the composite overhead information, determines the time-frequency location of each MLC of interest, and receives each MLC at the indicated time-frequency location. The embedded overhead information for each MLC indicates the time-frequency location of that MLC in the next super-frame and is transmitted along with the payload of the MLC in the current super-frame.

Patent CA-2547564-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FERNANDES LUIZ CLAUDIO VIEIRA
IPC: F24H1/20
Filed: 2006-05-16
Abstract: This invention mainly consists of a water tank with a cylindrical shape where water is heated trough a series of internal tubes that create a circulation flow of the water from them to the water tank. On this manner, the top of the tank receives hot water from the tubes that receive cold water from the bottom of the tank. The circulation of the water inside the tank is made in an ordered manner using a series of battles that restrict water movement. This process creates temperature stratification inside the tank, where hotter water is kept at the upper part. This guarantees that the water initially consumed from upper part of the tank has generally much higher temperatures than the bottom. This increases the water tank capacity in more than 60% fro the same water tank volume. Another innovative process is that the air used for burner, located a the bottom at the tank, comes from the top of the tank, through a tube that surrounds the combustion gases and the heated tubes, creating an insulated barrier from the hot section of the tank to the inner part of the water tank. This provides a safety measure for virtually eliminating the risk of vapour lock explosion issues. The combustion air is also partially pre-heated as it flows downwards the water tank. The burner used in the system is of low intensity and so that is kept operating longer than conventional water tank heating systems to reduce transient operation losses. This guarantees good heat transfer rates to the tube metal surface areas that constantly receive cold water from the bottom of the tank.

Patent CA-2555640-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FULLER BRIAN NELSON
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2005-02-03
Abstract: Seismic data recorded by subsurface seismic receivers (2) placed in a borehole, such as an oil or gas well, are transformed via a process of upward wavefield propagation (1) to pseudo-receivers (P1~ Pn) at the surface of the earth. The seismic data thus transformed can be processed as though the data had been recorded by the pseudo~ receivers (P1-Pn) at the surface rather than in the borehole where the data were actually recorded. This method accurately accounts for seismic source statics, anisotropy, and all velocity effects between the real receivers (2) in the borehole and the pseudo-receivers (P1-Pn) at the surface of the earth.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for sealing a fibre-based material (1, 4) to a counter-surface to be bonded to it by melting polymer present at the sealing point. In accordance with the invention, the sealing is performed by directing a laser beam (8) through the fibre layer (4) of the material to a radiation-absorbing pigment disposed in the sealing area (9), with the absorption heat melting the polymer (5) and generating the sealing. The method allows sealing of plastic-coated paper or board to itself, to another plastic counter-surface or also to paper or board without any plastic coating. It is also possible to seal uncoated paper or board to paper or board containing plastic, such as plastic-coated paper or board, or to a plastic film. The absorptive pigment, e.g. carbon black, may be admixed in the plastic coating of the board or paper or the plastic film formed on the counter-surface, or the pigment may be located on the surface of the material to be sealed or its fibre layer, or on the counter-surface to which the material is sealed, e.g. as a component of printing ink applied to the counter-surface.
