The collar includes a relatively soft inner layer that permits the collar to be stitched to the upper and a relatively rigid outer layer that provides the desired level of stability. The sole is preferably manufactured using the general steps of (a) providing a mold with a plurality of flexplate locating pins, (b) positioning a flexplate within the mold, (c) injecting the midsole material into the mold about the flexplate, and (d) attaching an outsole to the midsole. The rear stabilizer is preferably molded prior to and retained within the mold during the midsole molding step. The collar is preferably molded in sequential shots, with the inner and outer materials being molded from the same family of materials to enhance bonding. The molded collar is stitched to the upper and cement to the sole.

Abstract: The invention describes a method for transmitting and forwarding packets over a packet switching network via communication links with variable delays. The switches (10) of the network maintain a common time reference (002), which is obtained either from an external source or is generated and distributed internally. A packet that arrives to an input port (30) of a switch (10) is switched to an output port (40) based on specific routing information in the packet header. Each switch (10) along a route from a source to a destination forwards packets in periodic time intervals that are predefined using the common time reference. The time interval duration can be longer than the time duration required for transmitting a packet, in which case the exact position of a packet in the time interval is not predetermined.

Patent CA-2315824-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JAMAL KARIM
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 1998-11-20
Abstract: A method and system for use in determining the position of a mobile terminal (108) in a CDMA mobile communications system (100) is disclosed, whereby a different than usual spreading code is used when TOA measurements are being performed, but information is allowed to be transmitted while those TOA  measurements are being performed. In one embodiment, the length of the different spreading code used is equal to one symbol length. In a second embodiment, a mobile terminal (108) uses a long spreading code and short spreading code prior to making TOA measurements. When TOA measurements are to be made, the serving base station (BS1) orders (204) the mobile terminal (108) to change the spreading code by terminating the use of the long code and continuing use of the short code. Alternatively, when the TOA measurements are to be made, the serving base station (BS1) orders (204) the mobile terminal (108) to substitute a second, predetermined short code for the long code being used, and to continue use of the first short code. The TOA measurements are then performed (210, 212, 214) in at least three base stations (BS1, BS2, BS3), and the position of the mobile terminal (108) is derived from this TOA  information (216). The serving base station (BS1) then orders (218) the mobile terminal (108) to resume normal operations using the long code.

Title: A switchable transceiver antenna
Inventor: LOCKE EVAN
IPC: H04B1/38
Filed: 2000-12-05
Abstract: An antenna for a transceiver. The antenna is switchable between a receive and a transmit mode. In receive mode, the antenna is configured to provide increased sensitivity for improved inductive pickup of signals. In transmit mode, the antenna is configured to provide efficient power output without undue losses. The antenna coil comprises a plurality of conductor bundles. In receive mode, the conductor bundles in series to increase the number of effective turns in the antenna coil and thereby increase the inductive pickup of the coil for receiving signals. In transmit mode, the conductor bundles are configured in parallel. The parallel configuration of the conductor bundles reduces the AC and DC resistance of the antenna coil, and therefore the power loss, to allow the antenna to be driven efficiently to transmit signals.

Inventor: STOUGHTON ROLAND
IPC: G16B5/10
Filed: 1999-06-17
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for testing and confirming how well a network model represents a biological pathway in a biological system. The network model comprises a network of logical operators relating input cellular constituents (e.g., mRNA or protein abundances) to output classes of cellular constituents, which are affected by the pathway in the biological system. The methods of this invention provide, first, for choosing complete and efficient experiments for testing the network model which compare relative changes in the biological system in response to perturbations of the network. The methods also provide for determining an overall goodness of fit the network model to biological system by: predicting from the network model how output classes behave in response to the chosen experiments, finding measures of relative change of cellular constituents actually observed in the chosen experiments, finding goodnesses of fit of each observed cellular constituent to an output class with which the cellular constituent has the strongest correlation, and determining an overall goodness of fit of the network model from the individual goodnesses of fit of each observed cellular constituent. Additionally, these methods provide for testing the significance of the overall goodness of fit according to a nonparametric statistical test using an empirically determined distribution of possible goodnesses of fit.  This invention also provides for computer systems for carrying out the computational steps of these methods.
