Title: Method and system accessing and rendering an image for transmission overa network
Inventor: GIGNAC JOHN PAUL J
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1997-07-24
Abstract: The present method renders scan lines of an image to an output device in a memory efficient manner and in a manner suitable for a client server application using an Internet or Intranet type network. The image is defined by a number of order objects, each of which is independently stored. The procedure determines on a scan line basis the objects which influence the particular scan line and accumulates the rendering effect of the objects necessary for returning the scan line. Returned scan lines are transmitted over a network to a client computer and the procedure is repeated. Objects are only partially rendered as required to pass on the necessary information as input for the next object. This approach maintains the independence of the objects, allows interaction of objects, allows output to high resolution output devices in a memory efficient manner, and allows each object to be reproduced at the best resolution and in an efficient manner for a large scale network application. The present invention is directed to a system for accessing, modifying, and transporting images over a computer network. The system has at least one client computer and at least one server computer which exchange data and control signals therebetween over a network, the network using one network middleware of a series of network middleware. The system further includes a plurality of image databases which use different programs for storing, managing and accessing the stored images. Each image database includes a predetermined image standard for transferring a stored image and includes predetermined standard control signals for accessing and processing selected images. The client computer includes application software with the capability to communicate with any of the image databases using standard predetermined control signals and the capability of receiving images using the predetermined standard for transferring an image. The client computer and server computer uses a proxy-stub arrangement for compensating for different middleware. Image manipulations, transfer and receipt occurs based on the predetermined standard for transferring and image and the predetermined control signals.

Patent CA-2229984-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANTONOV ROUMEN
IPC: F16H59/38
Filed: 1996-08-16
Abstract: A clutch (18) engaged by means of flyweights (29) and a spring (34) directly meshes an input sun gear (9) and an output planet-wheel carrier (13). If the engagement pressure is insufficient for the torque to be transmitted, the crown wheel (8) slows down and is then stopped by a free wheel (16), while an axial thrust (Pac) produced by the helical teeth releases the clutch (18). The device then functions as a step-down device. To accelerate the procedure, a control unit (152) senses the onset of the slip of the clutch (18) and activates an actuator (44, 46) for releasing the clutch (18) before the forces produced by the teeth occur. In alternative embodiments of the invention, the control unit controls sequential operation forces when two or more clutches must be practically simultaneously actuated. The invention is useful for enhancing the comfort of use and reducing wear and stresses.

Title: Improvements in or relating to position servo systems
Inventor: GREENWOOD CHRISTOPHER JOHN
IPC: B62D5/00
Filed: 1995-11-20
Abstract: A position servo system exemplified by a power-assisted steering system in which a power-driven continously-variable-ratio transmission ("CVT") of the variable-ratio-epicyclic type, and particularly of the toroidal-race rolling-traction type, is arranged coaxially with the wheel or other rotary actuating member (3) and the steering or the driven mechanism, and delivers an output to augment the steering effort in response to an error between the positions of the actuating member and the steering mechanism. Means (50, 51) are described to prevent interference with the normal manual connection between the actuating member and the steering mechanism should the CVT cease to rotate, and on occasions when the normal sense of operation is reversed and the steering mechanism tends to steer the actuating member. Means are also described, where the CVT is of the toroidal-race type, to ensure equality between the forces exerted on the steering mechanism by all its connections with the CVT.

Title: Two-surfaced grill with computer controlled two-stage upper platen positioning mechanism
Inventor: COOK JEFFREY R
IPC: A47J37/06
Filed: 1997-06-03
Abstract: A microprocessor controlled grill apparatus for simultaneous two-sided cooking of food items. The grill apparatus includes a stationary lower cooking platen, and an upper cooking platen which is raised and lowered by a unique linear actuator. This actuator provides for two distinct types and phases of movement The upper platen is lowered from its uppermost, angled open position first by an arcing movement which rotates the rear edge of the upper platen about a slide or thrust bearing and arcs the front edge of the upper platen downward until the upper platen is substantially parallel to but raised, or floating, above the lower platen and uncooked food. Next, the linear actuator lowers the upper platen toward the food, while keeping the upper platen horizontal and parallel to the lower platen. The microprocessor control of this apparatus allows the gap between the upper and lower platens to be calibrated to an extremely fine degree, which may be fixed or varied for preset cooking cycles for various standardized menu items, stored and accessed automatically.
