Title: Multiple camera image multiplexer
Inventor: BERKEY THOMAS F
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2003-10-17
Abstract: The multiple image video surveillance camera system that uses a common set of sequencing logic to sample multiple imaging devices or multiple pre-set image windows within a large high-resolution imaging device is provided (32, 34 of fig. 2). The images are multiplexed into a single frame or switched on a frame-by-frame basis at the imaging device. The switched frames are marked or encoded (36 of fig. 2) to facilitate separation for individual image display.  This configuration allows one camera processor or sequencer to support multiple imagers and eliminates the need for a separate multiplexer, which lowers the system cost. Using a single transmission media (36 of fig. 2) to the video recording or display devices significantly reduces system installation cost.

Title: Boites de vitesse multi-fonctions
Inventor: BOUDREAU MARTIN
IPC: F16H37/06
Filed: 2005-09-29
Abstract: La présente invention consiste à une nouvelle boîte de vitesse alimentée p ar un moteur à vitesse constante. Dans sa version la plus simple, cette boîte de vitesse, munie d'un arbre de sortie, permet une diminution de la vitesse de l'arbre de sortie par rapport à la vitesse de l'arbre du moteur. Dans sa deuxième version, un bras de vitesse, servant aussi au freinage de l'arbre de sortie, est ajouté à la boîte de vitesse. Par la manipulation de ce bras de vitesse, l'arbre de sortie subit une variation en continu de sa vitesse dans les deux sens de rotation et, dans une position précise du bras de vitesse, on obtient une vitesse nulle de l'arbre de sortie, cette vitesse nulle étant équivalente au freinage de l'arbre de sortie. La troisième version de cette la boîte de vitesse possède des composantes et des propriétés similaires à celles que l'on retrouve sur la deuxième version . Cependant, elle intègre en plus l'équivalent d'un différentiel tels que ce ux utilisés sur les véhicules motorisés, soit un différentiel équipé de deux arbres de sortie se partageant la force transmise par le moteur en fonction de la résistance appliquée aux arbres de sortie. En plus d'intégrer un différentie l, cette dernière version permet l'ajout de plusieurs arbres de sortie tournant à la même vitesse que l'arbredu moteur et ce, sans que soit affectée la vitess e du moteur et des arbres du différentiel. La quatrième version de cette boîte de vitesse possède des composantes et des propriétés similaires â celles que l'on retrouve sur la deuxième version . Cependant, la configuration des pièces et leurs montages permettent une optimisation des ses propriétés quant à l'augmentation de la vitesse de l'arbre de sortie dans les deux sens de rotation.
