Patent CA-2456429-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NIKITIN ALEXEI V
IPC: G01D1/00
Filed: 2001-10-02
Abstract: Various components of the present invention are collectively designated as Analysis of Variables Through Analog Representation (AVATAR). It is a method, processes, and apparatus for measurement and analysis of variables of different type and origin. AVATAR offers an analog solution to those problems of the analysis of variables which are normally handled by digital means. The invention allows (a) the improved perception of the measurements through geometrical analogies, (b) effective solutions of the existing computational problems of the order statistic methods, and (c) extended applicability of these methods to analysis of variables. The invention employs transformation of discrete or continuous variables into normalized continuous scalar fields, that is, into objects with mathematical properties of density and/or cumulative distribution functions. In addition to dependence on the displacement coordinates (thresholds), these objects can also depend on other parameters, including spatial coordinates (e.g., if the incoming variables are themselves scalar or vector fields), and/or time (if the variables depend on time). Moreover, this transformation of the measured variables may be implemented with respect to any reference variable. Thus, the values of the reference variable provide a common unit, or standard, for measuring and comparison of variables of different natures, for assessment of mutual dependence of these variables, and for evaluation of changes in the variables and their dependence with time.The invention enables, on a consistent general basis, a variety of new techniques for analysis of variables, which can be implemented through various physical means in continuous action machines as well as through digital means or computer calculations. Several of the elements of these new techniques do have digital counterparts, such as some rank order techniques in digital signal and image processing. However, this invention significantly extends the scope and applicability of these techniques and enables their analog implementation. The invention also introduces a wide range of signal analysis tools which do not exist, and cannot be defined, in the digital domain. In addition, by the present invention, all existing techniques for statistical processing of data, and for studying probability fluxes, are made applicable to analysis of any variable.

Abstract: in a wireless communications system, transceivers transmit short bursts to a base station, which determines timing corrections from the time of receipt of the burst and transmits the timing corrections to the respective transceivers. In one aspect, the base station indicates to the trasceivers a plurality of time slots, each transceiver selects one of the time slots at random, formats a burst including an indicator of the selected time slot and transmits the burst in that slot. In another aspect, the base station transmits to each transceiver a timing uncertainty value, which determines how the timing correction will be modified by the tranceiver as the interval since last receiving a timing correction increases. Data bursts are transmitted in a format comprising a first unique word, a content field and a second unique word, in that order. The bursts are transmitted in a TDMA channel format which can accommodate both short and long bursts in a block format of constant periodicity.

Abstract: L'invention repose sur le fait que l'étude des fonctions végétatives peut être utilisée pour diagnostiquer les troubles de la fonction vésicale. En conséquence, l'invention consiste à utiliser un ou plusieurs moyens de mesure d'une ou de plusieurs fonctions végétatives pour le diagnostic des troubles de la fonction vésicale. Ces fonctions sont notamment le pouls, la tension artérielle, la résistance cutanée, la température du corps et/ou la température de la peau du sujet à examiner. Il s'est alors avéré que l'évaluation d'une ou de plusieurs de ces fonctions végétatives pouvait être suffisante pour diagnostiquer les troubles de la fonction vésicale, du fait que les fonctions végétatives sont en corrélation directe avec la contraction de la vessie. En outre, il existe une corrélation entre les fonctions végétatives et le remplissage de la vessie. De préférence, le/ ou les moyens de mesure d'une ou de plusieurs fonctions végétatives sont utilisés en combinaison avec la dynamique standard traditionnelle en vue d'accroître la fiabilité de l'évaluation.

Abstract: Rotary type fluid machine includes a casing 7, a rotor 31 and a plurality of vane-piston units U1-U12 which are disposed in a radiate arrangement on the rotor 31. Each of the vane-piston units U1-U12 has a vane 42 sliding in a rotor chamber 14 and a piston 41 placed in abutment against a non-slide side of the vane 42. When it functions as an expanding machine 4, the expansion of a high pressure gas is used to operate the pistons 41 thereby to rotate the rotor 31 via vanes 42 and the expansion of a low pressure gas caused by a pressure reduction in the high pressure gas is used to rotate the rotor 31 via the vanes 42. On the other hand, when it functions as a compressing machine, the rotation of rotor 31 is used to supply a low pressure sir to the side of pistons 41 via vanes 42 and further, the pistons 41 are operated by the vanes 42 to convert the low pressure air to the high pressure air. Thus, a rotary type fluid machine having expanding and compressing functions, with the merits belonging to the piston type and the merits belonging to the vane type, can be provided.

Abstract: The systems and methods of the present invention provide a circuit for controlling the magnitude of the main and pilot arc current provided to an arc cutting or welding machine. In one embodiment, the circuit allows the user to set the pilot arc current such that it automatically tracks the main arc current setting. The pilot arc current is set to a value that is proportional to the main arc current, such that the pilot arc current value is tailored to the specific cutting operation to be performed and/or the specific nozzle and electrode being used. In an alternative embodiment, the circuit allows the user to select from different pilot arc current levels; such as low, medium:, and high current levels. This allows the user to override the pilot arc control in instances where the plasma arc cutting or welding machine is operated under conditions not optimal for the selected nozzle and electrode.

Abstract: A rectangle of pizza dough is prepared, twice the area of the final product. Selected ingredients are added and the pizza is baked in a hearth and arch oven. The pizza is folded centrally on removal, bringing the two plane faces together and aligning the edges to form a main edge opposite the fold, and two end edges. The main edges and any ingredients appearing there, are coated by an edible strip, joining the edges.  One of the end edges is similarly sealed by an edible strip, the other left open. The production line includes a station preparing the dough, a unit extruding dough onto a moving conveyor belt through a size-defining opening. A further station covers the strip of dough with ingredients deposited to a calibrated thickness and width. The pizzas are passed through a continuous oven under controlled conditions of temperature and residence time. A longitudinal cutter produces strips; a transverse cutter completes separation into rectangles. A further unit folds the portions whilst still hot and flexible, and includes opposed guides. Following edge-sealing of the folded pizza, it is colored and cooked to form a homogenous rigid envelope. The products are frozen for distribution, eventual re-heating and consumption. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding production line.
