Title: Automatic product loader for use with sheet feeders
Inventor: NORDLING MARK
IPC: B65H1/30
Filed: 1999-08-20
Abstract: An automatic product loader adapted for loading flat sheet products into a hopper of a friction sheet feeder, upon demand, and includes a frame that adjustably supports a horizontal bed that can readily be elevated and lowered as well as be longitudinally shifted in a forward and rearward direction. The bed supports the upper flight of at least one endless belt. Also supported on the bed on either side of the endless belt run are vertically extending side guide plates. The forward edges of the side guide plates are slotted so as to receive the rear edges of the side guides defining the hopper of the friction sheet feeder so that there will be no edge or shoulder at the transition on which a sheet product might catch and become skewed. Photoeyes are used to control the automatic product loaders drive motor based upon the level of sheet products in the friction feeder's hopper.

Title: Variable microwave cold/warm noise source
Inventor: SMITH MATTHEW C
IPC: G01K11/00
Filed: 1997-11-28
Abstract: A radiometer calibrating system (150) utilizes an adjustable noise source (100) for calibrating a radiometer. The noise source includes a transistor configured as a noise equivalent circuit having a gate port, drain port and source port. A source inductance providing series feedback for the noise source has one end coupled to the source port of the noise equivalent circuit and another end connected to the ground. A bias circuit controls the amount of DC bias applied to the noise equivalent circuit. In order to match the impedances in the noise source, an output impedance matching network is connected to the gate port of the noise equivalent circuit. The output and input impedance networks have an output port and input port, respectively. Included in the noise source is a port switch that terminates a matched load to the output port when a cold thermal radiation temperature is generated at the input port, and alternatively, the port switch terminates the matched load to the input port when the warm thermal radiation temperature is generated at the output port.

Title: Magnetic field sensor and system for measuring a magnetic field
Inventor: TAMAKI NAOYA
IPC: H01F5/00
Filed: 1999-12-02
Abstract: A magnetic field sensor comprises a first conductor, a first insulating film, a second conductor, a second insulating film and a third conductor. The first conductor is composed of a "C-shaped" portion, which is formed in a C-like shape, and a linear portion, which is connected to one side of the "C-shaped" portion which is opposite to a gap of the "C-shaped" portion. The first insulating film is formed on the first conductor and has a hole in a predetermined position. The second conductor is formed in a ladle-like shape, and is formed on the first insulating film such that its one side (corresponding to the front end of the ladle) overlaps with a straight line through the outer edges of both ends of the "C-shaped" portion. One side, corresponding to the front end of the ladle, of the second conductor crosses over the gap from one end of the "C-shaped" portion to the other end, and is connected to the other end of the "C-shaped" portion via a hole of the first insulating film. The second insulating film is formed on the second conductor and has a hole formed in a position substantially identical with a position of the first insulating film. The third conductor is formed in a shape substantially identical with a shape of the first conductor.      The third conductor is formed on the second insulating film and is connected to the second conductor via the hole of the second insulating film. The first, second and third conductors are thus connected with each other, thereby forming a loop.

Filed: 1999-12-21
Abstract: A shortcut routing method is used in an Internet Protocol network over a network. This network, including a plurality of switch-routers and optionally a plurality of routers interconnected by links, is adapted to carry a point-to-multipoint connection between a sending host and a plurality of potential receiving hosts. Each of these receiving hosts is coupled to one of the plurality of routers and/or switch-routers.        A first data-packet of an Internet Protocol packet-flow is broadcasted from the sending host towards all potential receiving hosts and wherein each potential receiving host of these potential receiving hosts may send, upon reception of said first data-packet, a prune-message in direction of said sending host to notify that this potential receiving host does not wish to receive this Internet Protocol packet-flow. This method further includes the step of delaying the set-up of the shortcut path over a predetermined time-interval, which is dependent on the period of time the prune-message needs to reach the plurality of routers and/or switch-routers in the direction of the sending host, which step is followed by the actual setting up of the shortcut path between the sending host and the receiving hosts, those are the potential hosts which didn't send a prune
Patent CA-2293219-A1 (CA)
Title: Gravity gradiometer
Inventor: ADAMS GREGORY JOHN
IPC: G01V7/16
Filed: 1998-06-11
Abstract: The invention concerns improvements in the performance of a mobile gravity gradient instrument (GGI). Gravity gradiometers measure one or more components of the gradient of gravity which is expressed as the gradient of a gravity vector, or in other words a tensor. The instrument comprises a first, second, third and fourth accelerometer (1, 2, 3, 4) equally spaced around the circumference of a circle, with their sensitive axes tangential to the circle, and arranged in opposing pairs with the first accelerometer opposite the second and the third accelerometer opposite the fourth. In use the accelerometers are spun around an axis (6) normal to the circle which passes through its centre. A summing amplifier receives the outputs of the accelerometers and combines them in a manner to cancel the common mode output signals and so produces an instrument output. One or more feedback loops extend from the instrument output to one or more of the accelerometers to compensate for errors. In general, the invention embraces the concept of balancing any feedback signal so that it is applied after appropriate division (if required), to two or more of the accelerometers in appropriately inverted senses, rather than being applied to a single accelerometer.

Inventor: THOMPSON GEORGE
IPC: A61B6/10
Filed: 1999-12-30
Abstract: The X-ray filters and compensating filters of the present invention have erbium oxide distributed evenly in a flexible matrix such as rubber or urethane and formed for specific attenuation of discrete areas of a patient's body when the filters are selectively and adjustably mounted in front of an X-ray machine collimator tube. The filters may be mounted so as to overlap in partially or totalling overlapping layers to provide varying degrees of X-ray penetration attenuation, wherein areas of attenuation by thicker collective compensating filter thicknesses attenuate a greater amount in areas of the patient so requiring such filtering.
