Filed: 2000-10-07
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de transmettre un signal à un niveau de fiabilité prédéterminé, par retransmission de trames transmises par erreur afin de réduire l'énergie de transmission totale. La station de transmission calcule le taux d'erreurs de trame comme une fonction de l'énergie. Puis, la station de transmission détermine une combinaison d'énergies de transmission de départ et d'énergies de transmission qui permettra de fournir le niveau de fiabilité ciblé tout en réduisant l'énergie de transmission totale utilisée pour la transmission de départ et pour les retransmissions. La station de transmission transmet une trame à l'aide d'une énergie de transmission de départ. Grâce à des procédés classiques de rétroaction, la station de transmission est alertée de la présence d'erreurs de trame à la station réceptrice. Lorsqu'elle est avertie d'une erreur de trame, la station de transmission retransmet la trame à l'aide d'une énergie déterminée de manière à réduire l'énergie totale nécessaire pour transmettre cette trame à un niveau de fiabilité prédéterminé.

Patent CA-2392083-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAFADI REEM
IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 2000-11-14
Abstract: A cable television system automatically locates set-top terminals within the system with respect to the specific equipment through which the set-top terminal communicates with the system controller. This location of the terminal is used to configure the terminal to operate properly within the system and with respect to its physical location and to improve the overall operating efficiency of the system. Identifying the location of terminals can also facilitate better trouble-shooting and characterization of the cable plant by providing logical and physical network topology information. Each terminal's attributes are also registered with the system controller. The controller can also effect automatic configuration of set-top terminals purchased through a retail outlet and installed by consumers.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé qui ne fait plus appel à la logique de processus pour le développement de logiciels. Ce procédé permet de définir simultanément un programme ainsi que ses caractéristiques et de résoudre de façon révolutionnaire les problèmes liés aux logiciels traditionnels. En effet, un logiciel et ses caractéristiques peuvent être définis par la résolution d'une fonction de scénario qui est une conséquence théorique d'une théorie atomique et logique. On définit en particulier des corps tels qu'un écran ou un fichier et on élabore le diagramme de trajet de traitement dans lequel sont structurées les palettes de trois éléments W02, W03 et W04 d'une fonction de scénario, conformément à une règle appliquée de façon linéaire en fonction de la signification. La logique de base, qui présente une structure déterminée nécessaire pour la définition de la signification de chaque mot, est exprimée par un programme pour chaque mot appartenant à un corps défini. Les caractéristiques d'un travail sont représentées par une logique auto-générée dans la logique de base. Le programme ainsi produit est exécuté en fonction d'une structure synchrone permettant de satisfaire aux exigences du travail.
Patent CA-2414927-A1 (CA)
Inventor: POULIOT JEAN-FRANCOIS
IPC: H04H60/31
Filed: 2002-12-20
Abstract: A method and system for extracting segments from a broadcast television signal uses a mean display attribute value of pixels of each successive frame of a video component of the signal to identify segment transitions.      Elapsed times between the identified segment transitions are compared with expected durations of segments, in order to detect intervals that are likely to constitute segments.      Groups of the detected intervals are subjected to tests to see if they are temporally arranged in an expected distribution typical of segments in broadcast signals. he mean display attribute values concurrent with each detected segment are then used to form a statistical profile for the segment. These statistical profiles may be used to identify re-broadcast segments. Further a stream of mean audio amplitudes is preferably used to supply further segment transitions, to improve segment detection, and to provide more statistical values.

Title: Personal oral hygiene composition and device
Inventor: ALEXANDER CARL ERNEST
IPC: A61K8/11
Filed: 2001-07-31
Abstract: This invention provides a dental hygiene system, incidentally attractive to children, based on a free-flow "toothpaste" composition in the form of a plurality of beads each having substantially impervious walls; each portion or bead including about enough toothpaste for an average cleaning procedure. Bead consistency, flavour, colour, shape, or size, can be varied, for sale as mixtures or as single kinds. A toothbrush having a handle modified with one or more internal cavities (one holding oral hygiene tables; the other holding dental hygiene beads) is included in the system. Preferred bead manufacture involves formation in a mould and selective drying of the bead wall. The novel toothpaste makes a substantial contribution to reduction of environmental waste (no waste tubes) and allows the manufacture and distribution of single-unit kits for oral and especially dental hygiene.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un cathéter pour radiothérapie comprenant un mécanisme de centrage destiné à irradier la paroi d'un vaisseau sanguin avec une dose homogène, et un mécanisme de perfusion destiné à perfuser les vaisseaux périphériques avec du sang pendant toute la durée du centrage. Le cathéter n'étant pas rugueux en surface, ne suscite ni résistance pendant son déplacement dans le vaisseau, ni risque d'endommagement de la face interne dudit vaisseau. Dans une partie dilatable, à l'extrémité avant du cathéter, une protrusion est formée dans la partie d'une zone spécifique au moment de la dilatation par la différence d'élasticité entre deux types de matériaux d'élasticités différentes. Dans la partie dilatable, sont disposées une partie à faible élasticité et une partie à élasticité élevée, cette dernière étant beaucoup plus dilatée que la première pour former la protrusion lorsqu'une pression est exercée. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le cathéter présente une structure à deux couches, l'une interne, l'autre externe, à base de deux types de matériaux d'élasticités différentes. Une cavité est formée dans la couche à faible élasticité de façon qu'une partie de la couche d'élasticité élevée, correspondant à la cavité, puisse faire saillie lorsque l'on exerce une pression.
