Abstract: A self-propelled and constant-acceleration rocket (10) for use in triggering an avalanche includes a hollow cylindrical body member having an interior volume, an open top end, and an open bottom end whose exterior surface includes a plurality of flight guidance fins (15). A partition wall (30) divides the interior volume into an upper volume and a lower volume. An explosive payload (13) is mounted within the upper volume, and a nose cone (11) having a circular and planar tip closes the open top end of the body member. A rocket motor is mounted within the lower volume. The rocket has a center of gravity (6) and a center of pressure (cp) that are both located on the rocket's central axis and within the lower volume. The center of gravity is located closer to the open top end than is the center of pressure. A  collapsible launch stand holds the rocket in a launch tube for launching of the rocket. Adjustment of a pair of launch tube support members provides for adjustment of the rocket's launch angle.

Title: Ameliorations portant sur des communications optiques
Inventor: GRIFFIN ROBERT
IPC: H04J14/00
Filed: 2001-12-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'émission de n flux de données consistant à moduler une porteuse optique en utilisant une signalisation par modulation de phase différentielle M-aire (DMPSK) dans laquelle M=2?n.¿. Ce procédé consiste, de façon avantageuse, à utiliser une modulation de phase différentielle quaternaire dans laquelle n=2 (DQPSK). Un avantage particulier de ce procédé réside dans le fait que puisque les données sont codées de façon différentielle sous la forme de changements de phase plutôt que de valeurs de phase absolues, la porteuse optique modulée peut être démodulée par utilisation de détection directe sans la présence d'un oscillateur optique local à verrouillage de phase. L'invention s'applique particulièrement à des systèmes de communication à multiplexage en longueur d'ondes (WDM).

Patent CA-2439259-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LOBLEY NIGEL CLIVE
IPC: H04W8/18
Filed: 2002-03-11
Abstract: When a mobile device (11) is switched on it registers with a base station (13). A network node (25) for connection to the mobile device (11) is then selected. The selected node (25) will remain connected to the mobile device for as long as it remains switched on, despite changes in base station (3, 13, 23). In selecting the appropriate node (25) a capability and service set required by the individual user terminal (11) is taken into account. In order to achieve this, data stored in the HLR (2) of the user's home network is retrieved, the HLR being identified by the identity code (known as an IMSI) of the user device (11). The HLR (2) identifies the most suitable MSC (25), based on a service profile of the user, and information on the capabilities of the MSCs, held on the HLR (2). The HLR (2) then returns a signal identifying one or more suitable MSCs (25). If there is no single preferred MSC, selection may be based on other criteria such as loadings, network constraints, etc. The selection process may be carried out by the radio base station (13), or by a network node (15) to which initial connection is made by the base station (13), control being transferred to a more appropriate node (25) if such a node is identified.
