Abstract: A collapsible, portable goal net for sports comprises a frame consisting of tubular components coupled together, with an elastic cord running through the components to retain a flexible connection between the components even when they are uncoupled to collapse the net.  A flexible mesh is provided with sleeves composed of a less flexible material than the mesh,  for affixing the mesh to the frame.   The components of the frame can slide freely in the sleeves, thus preventing the mesh from becoming caught or entangled in the detached joints when the net is collapsed.

Patent CA-2179847-C (CA)
Inventor: GAGNON ROBERT E
IPC: G01B11/06
Filed: 1996-06-25
Granted: 2006-04-18
Abstract: A method and an apparatus are disclosed for remotely determining the thickness of a transparent or semi-transparent suspended sheet or solid or liquid layer, e.g. ice, on a solid surface which is either light-absorbent or highly reflective. The invention proposes directing a coherent beam of light onto a location on the layer such that the beam undergoes partial reflection from the top of the layer and partial reflection from the bottom of the layer or the underlying surface. Due to the coherency of the beam, two overlapping speckle patterns are produced which give rise to an interference pattern having interference fringes. The pattern can be caused to shift across the field of view and the shift, determined by a number of the passing interference fringes can be interpreted in terms of the thickness of the layer.

The OMC (52) then selects at least one, but less than all of the transmitters (134-144) to increase power to a pilot channel. The selected transmitter(s) is chosen base on one or more of the following factors, the transmitter's level of unused power, the interference level at the transmitter and the position of the transmitter.
