Patent CA-2625556-A1 (CA)
Inventor: UCKELMANN INGO
IPC: A61K6/884
Filed: 2006-10-19
Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the layerwise production of a product comprising the steps of applying a layer of a hardenable material, wherein for example the process parameters of layer thickness and layer material are adjustable, selectively hardening predetermined regions of the applied layer on the basis of the geometrical data of the product, wherein for example the process parameters for the nature and level of the energy input are adjustable, repeating those steps until the geometry of the product has been produced in the form of hardened material, and finally removing the non-hardened material. Known processes suffer from the disadvantage that they do not afford variability in regard to the local properties of the product. The invention remedies that disadvantage insofar as at least one process parameter is altered during the production procedure in order to influence the grain size in a first region of the product in relation to a second region of the product.

Title: Apparatus and methods for estimating a sleep clock frequency
Inventor: WANG MICHAEL MAO
IPC: H04B1/16
Filed: 2006-11-09
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for estimating the frequency of a sleep or slow clock using a fast clock, such as a temperature compensated crystal oscillator. The disclosed apparatus include an estimator having a first counter that receives sleep clock synchronized pulses issuing each cycle of the sleep clock period, yet are synchronized to a fast clock. The slow clock synchronized pulses are counted up to a predetermined number; whereupon a full count signal is issued.  A second counter receives the full count signal and increments each time the full count signal is received. A third counter counts fast clock cycles until the full count signal occurs. Based on the number of counts of the slow and fast clock cycles, the frequency of the slow clock may be determined using only the domain of the fast clock for performing the measurement thereby tying accuracy of the measurement to the accuracy of the fast clock. The disclosed apparatus also include an integrated circuit and a transceiver employing the disclosed estimator. Corresponding methods are also disclosed.

Inventor: OLIVER ROBERT ANDREW
IPC: F16H61/66
Filed: 2007-05-11
Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for controlling a variator in a continuously variable transmission such as a vehicle transmission. The arrangement comprises a user operable ratio control part such as a lever (50) and a device for operatively coupling the ratio control part to a movable torque transfer part of the variator such as its rollers (18). The coupling device is, in the particular embodiment described, a hydro-mechanical arrangement.
