Title: Steel cable suspended energy absorbing and impact attenuating barrier system
Inventor: PARISOTTO LAWRENCE R
IPC: E01F15/06
Filed: 2002-10-15
Abstract: An improved steel cable suspended energy absorbing and impact attenuating barrier system for use as a motorsports or traffic safety barrier wherein the barrier system comprises a plurality of displaceable, impenetrable barrier sections forming a continuous barrier suspended in a generally vertical configuration with respect to the race track or roadway by a plurality of steel suspending and anchor cables. The steel suspending cables maintain the plurality of impenetrable barrier sections in a specified overlapping manner with respect to the direction of traffic and are held by cable support rings fixed to the barrier sections to have a designated tension or slack per barrier section depending on the desired maximum displacement of the burner sections and are fixed at their terminus to an immovable structure. The plurality of barrier sections are anchored to existing concrete barriers or other structures by means of a plurality of generally horizontal steel anchor cables generally perpendicular to the direction of the steel suspending cables. An energy absorbing medium or media may be positioned in the space between the concrete barriers or other structures and the steel cable suspended impenetrable barrier sections. Because the steel cable suspended energy absorbing and impact attenuating barrier system of this invention is displaceable and not fixed, and comprises overlapping sections to form a continuous barrier rather than a continuous inflexible or non displaceable impenetrable barrier as compared to those of prior art, the present invention offers an improved energy absorbing and impact attenuating response. A further improvement of the present invention is the ability of the barrier system to redirect impacting vehicle or racecars back onto the roadway or racing surface in the direction of traffic resulting from the decreased compressive strength of the trailing segment of the impenetrable barrier sections relative to the leading segment.

Title: Controle qualite de donnees
Inventor: LAAKE ANDREAS
IPC: G01V1/36
Filed: 2001-06-27
Abstract: Un procédé de contrôle de la qualité de données consiste à échantillonner une trace de données pour déterminer l'amplitude de la trace. Des attributs indicateurs du contenu de bruit de la trace des données sont ensuite déterminés à partir des amplitudes échantillonnées de la première trace de données. Les attributs du bruit d'une trace de données spécifique peuvent être comparés aux valeurs seuils pré-établies ou aux attributs déterminés pour une autre trace de données, ce qui permet de produire un procédé de contrôle de la qualité des données. Le procédé d'échantillonnage est réalisé dans le domaine temporel et ne nécessite qu'un peu de calcul. On peut effectuer le contrôle qualité en ligne, de telle manière que la qualité des données peut être contrôlée, à mesure qu'elle est acquise. On peut appliquer ledit procédé au contrôle qualité des données sismiques.

Patent CA-2413716-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MOCHIZUKI TETSUYA
IPC: F23Q2/28
Filed: 2002-02-19
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un mécanisme d'allumage de briquets à système coulissant, permettant d'éviter que le briquet ne soit allumé accidentellement ou par erreur ou pour une raison analogue, tout en conservant sa facilité d'utilisation. Des pivots (22a), servant à faire pivoter le couvercle d'actionnement (20), sont de forme sensiblement circulaire et présentent une taille telle qu'un espace de déplacement est formé lorsqu'ils sont fixés à une partie de support dans le corps principal du briquet. D'une manière générale, la tension d'un ressort de rappel agit sur lesdits pivots (22a) de couvercle d'actionnement (20) pour qu'ils se positionnent dans la partie supérieure de l'intérieur d'une partie de support d'un mécanisme piezoélectrique (4). Le couvercle d'actionnement (20) coulisse jusqu'à ce qu'un levier (21) vienne heurter le corps principal (1) du briquet, causant ainsi l'interruption du mouvement coulissant du couvercle d'actionnement. Quand il a atteint cette position (a), le couvercle d'actionnement (20) subit une pression vers le bas, agissant ainsi sur les pivots (22a) de telle sorte qu'ils se déplacent vers le bas (b) dans la partie de support. Ensuite, les leviers de pression (23) atteignent la position d'actionnement et exercent ainsi la force nécessaire à l'actionnement du mécanisme piezoélectrique (4), lequel produit une tension de décharge causant l'allumage.

Title: Element intercalaires a conduits pour cables optiques et procede de fabrication
Inventor: MCLARTY GEORGE C III
IPC: H02G1/06
Filed: 2001-04-04
Abstract: L'invention concerne une structure (2) de gaine à conduit convenant pour des câbles à fibre optique, des câbles coaxiaux etc. Cette structure comprend deux couches (6, 8, 10, 12) adjacentes en forme de bandes, constituées d'un matériau flexible, qui sont assemblées le long de leurs bords longitudinaux de manière à définir un passage (4) formant une structure tubulaire interne entre les couches, dans laquelle un câble peut être introduit dans le sens longitudinal. Ces couches (6, 8, 10, 12) présentent des largeurs différentes entre leurs bords longitudinaux, de manière que la partie plus large forme un renflement dans la direction opposée à la première couche, ce qui donne au passage une configuration ouverte. On a constaté qu'on pouvait produire cette structure de gaine à conduit de manière plus efficace et moins coûteuse en empilant et en positionnant une pluralité de couches de matériau et de tire-câbles (22) de manière à permettre la production simultanée d'une pluralité de structures de gaines à conduit disposées parallèlement. Ce procédé de fabrication de gaines à conduits consiste à faire passer une pluralité de couches empilées dans une machine ou un mécanisme à plier, une machine à piquer, puis une machine à découper. Ce procédé permet de séparer sélectivement les éléments de gaines en unités individuelles ou en unités multiples. Dans un mode de mise en oeuvre préféré, on utilise quatre couches empilées, de manière à obtenir trois logements ou compartiments par gaine à la fin du processus.

Title: Simplified quality indicator bit test procedures
Inventor: BUTSUMYO VINCE RYO
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 2001-10-06
Abstract: In a code division multiple access communication system, a method and apparatus provide for an efficient testing of operating behavior of a quality indicator bit. The method and the accompanying apparatus include configuring a receiver to expect to receive a communication channel at a full data rate, and transmitting a signal from a transmitter to the receiver. The signal is carrying the communication channel at a data rate other than said full data rate, and at a power level for receiving at the full data rate. Consequently, the receiver fails to receive the communication channel et the full data rate.  A received signal to noise ratio of the received signal at the receiver is determined. A value of the quality indicator bit is determined based on the determined signal to noise ratio. The determined value of the quality indicator bit is communicated to the transmitter.

Title: Method for alternate routing of communication connections
Inventor: WINTER JOHANNES
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 2003-05-27
Abstract: Communication connections in a communication system with a communication terminal are assigned to a first communication device, which can be registered at a second communica-tion device, and used in a packet-oriented network by way of which the communication terminal is connected to the first and the second communication devices. As a consequence of a registration performed by a subscriber the communication terminal is signed off from the first communication device and is assigned to the second communication device. In the case of a communication connection initialized at the communication terminal a check is carried out to determine whether the initiated communication connection to a destination device defined by a subscriber number reserved in the communication system is to be realized. In the case of a positive outcome to the check a determination of the destination device is performed taking into consideration information characterizing the location of the communication terminal which is available in the communication terminal, whereupon the communication connection is established to a destination device assigned to the first communication device.
