Patent CA-2380461-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NOH JAE
IPC: H04L7/033
Filed: 2000-08-03
Abstract: A system and method for accounting for clock slew during autobauding. Upon identifying an AT command and the baud rate of the incoming data stream, the  present invention accounts for clock slew in one of two ways, depending upon  the baud rate of the incoming data stream. If the baud rate of the incoming data stream is 9600 or greater, the present invention accounts for slew by utilizing a feature associated with ASCII characters and RS-232 protocol, th at is the stop bit being nicely framed on both sides by spaces. This feature is  used to determine whether negative or positive clock slew exists. If negativ e clock slew exists and it is determined that negative clock slew falls within  a certain threshold, a sample is skipped. If positive clock slew exists and falls within a certain threshold, positive clock slew is converted to negati ve clock slew by taking an extra sample. Clock slew is accounted for by reconstructing bits from an old sample and a new sample, based on the calculated slew value, to obtain an actual sample that eliminates deleteriou s effects of clock slew. When the baud rate of the incoming data stream is les s than 9600, the present invention accounts for clock slew by taking a middle group of 8 samples from the start bit when multiple groups of 8 samples per bit exist. This is accomplished by searching for the next start bit. Once th e next start bit is found, determining which group of 8 samples is a middle sample. The present invention counts over to the middle sample and reads the  data from the middle sample to negate the effects of slew.

Title: Process of producing diffraction gratings on the surfaces of articles
Inventor: SANG HARRY
IPC: B21B1/22
Filed: 1999-08-09
Abstract: The invention provides a process of producing an article, such as a foil or a beverage can body, having a surface provided with an optical diffraction grating such that the surface generates visible interference colors when illuminated with diffuse white light.      The process comprises producing the article from stock material by one or more steps including a step in which a surface relief pattern forming a diffraction grating is impressed on the surface of the article by a tool having a bearing surface provided with a corresponding surface relief pattern. The pattern on the bearing surface is made up of ridges and/or grooves on or in the bearing surface that are straight parallel lines separated by distances suitable for light diffraction. As the pattern is being impressed, the article is moved relative to the tool in a longitudinal direction of movement and the tool is orientated such that the ridges and/or grooves making up the diffraction pattern are aligned parallel to the direction of movement of the article. Any stretching or deformation of the article produced during the impressing of the diffraction grating takes place in the same direction as the lines of the diffraction pattern, so that the pattern is not destroyed or deformed, but is merely attenuated in the longitudinal direction that does not affect the interference pattern effects (governed by the line spacing). The resulting coloring process produces an attractive article and is capable of being operated at a high rate of throughput.

Abstract: A seat track assembly for adjusting a seat assembly of an automotive vehicle. The seat track assembly comprises a lower track and slidably coupled to an upper track. A locking mechanism includes a fixed lock plate secured to the lower track and having a first plurality of apertures. A moving lock plate is secured to the upper track and includes spaced apart and parallel upper and lower locking plates sandwiched on opposing sides of the fixed lock plate.  Each of the upper and lower locking plates include a second pllurality of apertures for aligning with the apertures in the fixed lock plate. A housing is mounted to the moving lock plate above the apertures.   A pair of shear plates are slidably disposed within the housing and have opposing offset engagement fingers. The shear plates are biased to a locked position for selectively engaging the first and second apertures to lock and secure the upper track to the lower track.  The shear plates are moveable to an unlocked position disengaged from the first and second apertures enabling the sliding movement between the upper track and the lower track. Additionally, at least one of the shear plates is engageable with the first and second apertures regardless of a relative position between the upper track and the lower track to provide infinite engagement of the locking mechanism between the upper and lower tracks.

Abstract: A system and method for stiffening a cutting tool assembly used in cutting laterally relative to a wellbore axis to reduce stresses and cyclical bending of the cutting tool assembly during cutting. A sleeve (60) disposed in an annular space, known as a box relief, defined between the shaft (18) and a peripheral wall (40) of the cutting tool (14). The sleeve (60) is preferably fixed in the annular space (42) by a sleeve ring (70) surrounding a recess in the shaft, but can be coupled to the peripheral wall (40) and/or shaft (18) by, for example, a threaded engagement. As the cutting tool attempts to bend at a connection with the shaft during cutting, creating stresses at the connection, the stresses are distributed throughout the increased contact area of the sleeve with the cutting tool, causing less stress per unit area.

Title: Power striker mechanism with backdrive prevention
Inventor: OXLEY PETER LANCE
IPC: E05B65/12
Filed: 2001-02-15
Abstract: A power striker mechanism (10) has a housing (22). A striker (18) is mounted on a striker plate (20) that is mounted on the housing for sliding movement between an inboard and an outboard position. A driver plate (44) is mounted to the housing for sliding movement in a direction orthogonal to the movement of the striker plate (20). An actuator (16) effects movement of the driver plate (44) to thereby effect movement of the striker plate (20) between the inboard and outboard positions. The striker plate (20) has a pin (36) and the driver plate has an S-shaped slot (42). The pin slidably engages the S-shaped slot. The S-shaped slot has end regions extending generally parallel to each other and in the orthogonal direction and is interconnected by a diagonally extending section.  When the pin (36) is in the end regions of the S-shaped slot, forces imparted on the striker plate (20) are transmitted to the housing (22) and thereby preventing backlash of the actuator (16). When the pin (36) is in the diagonally extending section, movement of the drive plate (44) effects movement of the striker plate (20).

Title: Method and system for determining formation anisotropic resistivity with reduced borehole effects from tilted or transverse magnetic dipoles
Inventor: MINERBO GERALD N
IPC: G01V3/28
Filed: 2002-09-30
Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining subsurface formation properties using an antenna system disposed within a borehole traversing the formation. A logging system includes a well tool implemented with an antenna system having transverse or tilted magnetic dipoles. One antenna implementation uses a set of three coils having non-parallel axes. Through mechanical or electromagnetic rotation of an antenna about its axis in order to maximize or minimize couplings, the systems and methods are used to estimate formation anisotropic resistivity, providing reduced borehole effects in vertical and small deviation wells. This invention may also be applied in deviated wells when the borehole is perpendicular to the strike direction, as is often the case in wireline logging.
