Patent CA-2360288-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JONES MARTIN KELLY
IPC: G08G1/123
Filed: 2000-01-12
Abstract: Un système de poursuite (10) de véhicule comprend un capteur (18) (par exemple, un capteur GPS) et une unité de commande de véhicule (VCU) (15) fixée au véhicule (17). Ce capteur (18) détermine l'emplacement du véhicule en fonction de signaux de positionnement reçus depuis une pluralité de satellites. La VCU (15) compare l'emplacement du véhicule à un programme prédéterminé (30a). Ce programme prédéterminé (30a) comprend une pluralité d'entrées correspondant chacune à un emplacement le long du trajet de déplacement du véhicule. De plus, chaque entrée comporte une valeur d'emplacement indiquant l'emplacement correspondant à l'entrée et une valeur de temps indiquant à quel moment le véhicule (17) devrait se trouver à cet emplacement. La VCU (15) détermine si le véhicule (17) suit ou non le programme par comparaison de l'emplacement actuel du véhicule (17), tel qu'il a été déterminé par le capteur (18), et la durée écoulée depuis le départ du trajet, avec les entrées du programme prédéterminé. Si le véhicule (17) ne suit pas le programme, la VCU (15) transmet un message d'état à un emplacement à distance indiquant le niveau de l'état hors programme du véhicule. Un ordinateur (31b) situé au niveau de l'emplacement à distance connaît le programme prédéterminé et suppose que le véhicule (17) suit le programme, à moins qu'il reçoive un message d'état de VCU (15). Dans le cas de la réception d'un message d'état, l'ordinateur (31b) au niveau de l'emplacement à distance détermine l'emplacement actuel du véhicule (17) en fonction de ce message.

Title: Log cutting procedures
Inventor: ANDREWS MICHAEL KENNETH
IPC: G01N33/46
Filed: 1999-08-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a single end testing of stems of felled trees whereby by inducing a sonic wave with an impact and by reference to detected reflections and with a knowledge of the length of the stem the stiffness and/or strength characteristics of the stem or logs to be cut therefrom can be derived. A preferred procedure is a determination of the fundamental frequency f0 which relates to velocity V, the speed of longitudinal compressional motions along the stem, and L, the length of the stem, as follows: V=2Lf0.  From that value V or a function of V can be derived an indicator of stiffness and/or strength. For example the modulus of elasticity (MOE) is such an indicator and can be determined by the equation MOE=.rho. V2 where .rho. is density. For green felled timber .rho. can be estimated as approximating 1000 kg/m3.

Title: Virtual second line hybrid network communication system
Inventor: O'BRIEN MARK J
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 2000-09-20
Abstract: A system and method for routing a telephone call (10) on a PSTN network (14) to a data device (18). The present invention utilizes an automatic call processing system that has a one number location service. A called party provides a calling profile that is stored in the automatic call processing (ACP) system (16). When a call is placed to a telephone number that is assigned to the called party, the call is routed to the ACP system (16). The ACP system (16) calls each of the numbers of the calling profile for that called party until that party is reached. At least one of the destinations in the calling profile is a logical address for a data network. The automatic call processing system (16) recognizes the logical address and queries a directory (22) to determine if an IP address has been registered in the directory for the logical address of the called party. If the called party is using a data device (18) that is logged on the Internet (20), an IP telephony agent (19), such as an IP telephony client running on the data device (18), registers the IP address of the data device (18) together with the logical address of the caller. If the ACP system (16) determines if an IP address is registered with the directory (22), the ACP system (16) will direct the call to an Internet telephony gateway (28). The gateway (28) encodes and packetizes the voice information for transmission over the data network (20) to the data device (18).
