Patent CA-2300571-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VARIZAT ALAIN MICHEL
IPC: F02C9/28
Filed: 2000-03-14
Abstract: A hydraulic fuel control unit (100) for an aircraft engine comprises means (14, 2, 16) for controlling cutoff on stop and cutoff on overspeed of a fuel flow transferred by an output (1) to the engine injectors. A logic module (140) controls the position of a state switch (121, 143) into a test position or a normal position. The state module is managed such that the operation of the overspeed module can be tested each time the system is started on the ground. The architecture of the hydraulic unit (100) is such that operation of the cutoff on stop can be tested during each landing. Correct operation in the overspeed test and in the cutoff on stop test is observed by detecting a difference between a control value (153) of an allowable fuel flow that depends mainly on the engine speed, and a real flow value detected by sensors (22).

Title: Ordering of database search results based on user feedback
Inventor: BATES CARY LEE
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-05-10
Abstract: An apparatus, program product, and method rely on user interaction in the ordering search results returned by a search engine. Each of a plurality of records in a database is associated with a user feedback parameter that is used in ordering the records identified in a result set generated in response to a search request. The user feedback parameter for a given record may be selectively updated in response to detecting multiple accesses thereto by a user and/or in response to detecting that the record is the most recently accessed record in the result set. In addition, the user feedback parameter for a given record may be configured with a plurality of weights that are respectively associated with particular keywords, such that ordering of the records in a result set can utilize only those weights that are associated with keywords that match a particular search request. Furthermore, a search request data structure may be utilized to store a plurality of search request records, each including a search request identifier identifying a unique combination of keywords, and a result set identifier identifying a subset of a plurality of records in a database that match the unique combination of keywords. The search request data structure may be accessed in response to a search request to locate a search request record including a search request identifier that matches the keywords provided in the search request, with a result set generated that identifies the subset of records identified in the result set identifier in the located search request record.

Patent CA-2313242-A1 (CA)
Title: Data communications
Inventor: FAIRMAN IAN RALPH
IPC: G06F1/00
Filed: 1998-12-15
Abstract: In a data communications system a remote data source outputs data as a series of application data units (ADUs). Each ADU is individually encrypted with a different key. The keys are transmitted (for example using Internet multicasting) via a communications network to one or more customer terminals. At the terminals a sequence of keys is generated for use in decrypting the ADUs. A record is kept of the keys generated, and this record may subsequently be used to generate a receipt for the data received by the customer. The keys may be generated, and the record stored within a secure module such as a smartcard.
Patent CA-2314421-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TANIGUCHI SHOHEI
IPC: H04N19/70
Filed: 2000-07-25
Abstract: A subband encoding and a decoding system are provided. The subband encoding system measures signal levels of subband signals to determine scale factors to obtain scale factor information and produces bit allocation information based on the scale factor information, scale factor flag information indicating the fact that the scale factor information has changed from that one frame earlier, and updated scale factor information indicating the scale factor information which has changed from that one frame earlier. The subband encoding system re-quantizes the subband signals using the scale factor information and the bit allocation information to provide re-quantized output signals and constructs as an encoded output signal a frame made up of the re-quantized signals, the updated scale factor information, and the scale factor flag information. The number of subbands of the subband signals to be re-quantized is determined by an upper limit frequency of an audible band. This results in a decrease in operation load of the subband encoding and decoding systems.

Patent CA-2323470-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MARKOVITCH PETER T
IPC: F04D5/00
Filed: 2000-10-17
Abstract: One or more improved pump impellers are provided and are rotationally supported in a pump having one or more stages. The improved impeller comprises a fluid induction core of flow passages spiraling axially about the impellers rotational axis and a stack of circular disks extending radially and concentrically from the induction core. The stack of disks is preferably a frusto-conical stack with the disks at the downstream end of the impeller having a lesser radial extent than do the upstream disks so that incrementally less fluid issues from each successive radial flow passage between adjacent disks thereby reducing head loss in the issuing viscous fluid flow and increasing pumping efficiency. Increased pump efficiency permits one to provide a conical pump housing profile about each impeller which corresponds with the conical stack, thereby diminishing the fluid flow area and increasing the discharge pressure and flow capacity of each pumping stage.
Patent CA-2323784-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEIBOWITZ MICHAEL J
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1999-03-19
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un excipient destiné à l'administration in vivo d'un agent thérapeutique et comprenant un groupe thiol, l'agent thérapeutique étant conjugué à l'excipient par une liaison disulfure biodégradable. Du fait que, contrairement au cytosol cellulaire, les fluides extracellulaires in vivo ne créent pas l'environnement approprié pour réduire de manière efficace une liaison disulfure, l'agent reste alors pratiquement couplé à l'excipient tout en circulant dans le corps jusqu'à ce que l'excipient traverse une membrane cellulaire. En conséquence, l'agent thérapeutique est protégé de la dégradation et de la clairance rénale, mais son potentiel pour déclencher une réponse immune est limité.

A third group of dimples (Z) having a third depth may be provided within the second group (Y), with the depth of the third group (Z) being less than the depth of the second group which is less than the depth of the first group (X). Alternatively, the depth of the third group (Z) is greater than the depth of the second group (Y) which is greater than the depth of the first group (X). Similarly, the first (X) and third (Z) groups may have the same depth but different from the second group (Y).

Patent CA-2331898-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEE CHONG U
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1999-04-20
Abstract: A system for embedding auxiliary digital information (Di) into an existing primary digitally encoded signal (Xn) to form an unobjectionable composite digital signal (Cn). Auxiliary data bits (Di) modulate a pseudo-random (e.g., PN) sequence (125) to provide an auxiliary data sequence (160) that is used to modify the Least Perceptually Significant Bits (LPSBs) (180) of successive multi-bit samples (120) of the primary signal. In a cross-term compensation embodiment (300, 400, 1000), a correlation (V) between the PN sequence and the sample bits is determined, and compared to the auxiliary data bits (Di) to determine whether there is a desired correspondence. The LPSBs in the samples are toggled (360), if necessary, to provide the desired correspondence. The selection of LPSBs to modify accounts for a desired noise level of the auxiliary data (Di) in the primary signal (Xn). LPSBs may be selected to be modified based on a sparse PN sequence (250) to achieve the desired noise level and to conceal the presence of the auxiliary data (Di). The data to be hidden can be any digital data, while the primary signal is any uncompressed or compressed digitally sampled process, including, for example, audio or video data.
