Patent CA-2662349-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LUNDBY STEIN ARNE
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2007-09-26
Abstract: Techniques for reporting channel quality indicators (CQIs) are described. Data activity at a receiver may be determined, and CQI reporting by the rec eiver may be adjusted based on the determined data activity. In one design, CQI reporting may be enabled for a time window around each expected packet a rrival for a periodic or quasi-periodic transmission and may be suspended ou tside of the time window. In another design, CQI reporting may be varied bas ed on ACK/NACK feedback. In yet another design, CQIs may be sent at a first rate when data activity is not detected and at a second rate faster than the first rate when data activity is detected. In yet another design, CQIs may be sent only during discontinuous transmission (DTX) ON periods when data ac tivity is not detected and may be sent during both DTX ON and OFF periods wh en data activity is detected.

Title: System for online ordering of items of real-time availability from a tv system
Inventor: DIAZ PEREZ MILTON
IPC: H04N5/445
Filed: 2007-09-07
Abstract: A system and method for ordering items in real-time online from vendor inventories in which an online agent ordering server (20) acts as an intermediary between a TV system (10) and an online ordering website (30). The online agent ordering server (20) stores templates for presenting TV ordering forms to users, and templates for converting the TV ordering forms to online orders recognized by the online ordering website (30). When a viewer inputs a request for a selected item to the TV system, the online agent ordering server provides a corresponding TV ordering form, and upon the viewer inputting the order selection data, the online agent ordering server converts it into an online order recognized by the online ordering website. Upon receiving an order confirmation message back from the online ordering website, the online agent ordering server automatically converts it to a TV confirmation message for display to the viewer.

Patent CA-2682672-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAMMERBECK JOHN PHILIP ROGER
IPC: F04D21/00
Filed: 2008-04-03
Abstract: The invention is a compression method having characteristics of smooth compression and internal cooling of the gas. Embodiments of the invention employ a cylindrical chamber and an orbiting rotor to create a moving duct or chamber whose walls converge, relative to a static gas packet drawn into the moving duct, at a 'pinch point'. Preferably the closing speed of the walls is subsonic and the speed of the pinch point is supersonic. This enables high pressure to co-exist, at the narrowing end of the duct, with low pressure elsewhere in the duct, because of the pressure information barrier produced by the supersonic advance of the pinch point. The invention also discloses means for adjusting the running clearance between the cylinder and the rotor, and means for counterbalancing the rotor.
