Title: Use of a multilayer film in a high-speed pouch forming, sealing and filling machine, and method of operation
Inventor: PITRE ANDRE
IPC: B29C53/50
Filed: 2000-05-12
Abstract: The multi-layer film structure having an inner sealing layer (36) which comprises metallocene resin, a core (38) which includes polypropylene copolymer and an outer layer (37) and wherein the multi-layer film structure  has a thickness (X) within a range between about 50 and 70 microns (2.0 - 2. 75 mil). By utilizing this thin film with specific properties the sealers may b e operated at lower temperatures thereby resulting in an energy saving and the y produce seals having improved seal strength of 30% to 50% as compared with known prior mono-layer polyethylene film. The seal initiation temperature is  reduced by 10~C to 15~C and the film exhibits an improved machine direction tensile strength of 25% to 40% and an improvement of 30% to 50% in puncture resistance as compared with a 76 microns (3 mil) mono-layer polyethylene fil m. This results in a reduction in the sealing cycle time and an increase in the  throughput of the machine. This results in a liquid pouch having a substanti al improvement in drop test performance, puncture resistance and seal strength.  The machine accomplishes better seals with less energy, requires less downti me for roll changes and maintenance and increase throughput.

Title: Data transmitting method and receiving method, and video data transmitting device and receiving device
Inventor: NISHIO TOSHIROH
IPC: H04N5/445
Filed: 2002-01-28
Abstract: The present invention is relative to a video signal transmitting/receiving system in which digital video signals are transmitted from a transmitter (30) to a receiver (50) using a line (9) as a transmission channel. The transmitter (30) converts the video signals to be transmitted to a bit string longer in data length than a pixel making up the video signals, allocates a plural number of the bit strings to a blanking period during which pixel data in the pixel string is not transmitted and, using these bit strings, transmits the same superposed data a plural number of times. The receiver (50) extracts the specified bit strings indicating the blanking period from the received data and performs majority processing on the results of demodulation of the extracted bit strings to decide on output data. This reduces errors in reception of supplementary data to simplify the circuit structure as well as to ameliorate the error rate.
Patent CA-2408621-A1 (CA)
Title: Synchronization of asynchronous networks using media access control (mac) layer synchronization symbols
Inventor: STILLMAN ROBERT
IPC: H04L12/42
Filed: 2001-05-16
Abstract: A method and structure for the distribution and utilization of synchronization within an asynchronous network is described herein. Synchronization is distributed through an asynchronous network via a synchronization symbol periodically inserted on the MAC layer. The priority of this symbol ensures that this symbol is inserted in the MAC layer data stream ahead of all other types of symbols. The insertion of the synchronization symbol in the middle of an ongoing data frame is supported. In addition, a method for synchronization symbol distribution throughout an asynchronous network is presented, along with a method for switching to a new synchronization path (in the event of loss of original synchronization path) based on minimum number of hops from the synchronization source. In addition, a method is described for utilization of the count and interval of received synchronization symbols and the count and interval of transmitted synchronization symbols to generate an error correction signal used in the process of frequency locking of a device's internal hardware to received synchronization symbols from another device. Using the prioritized insertion capability required for synchronization symbols, a variety of other MAC layer control symbols are defined to perform other functions, such as propagation time measurement between adjacent nodes.

Title: Method of interactive optimization in circuit design
Inventor: MCCONAGHY TRENT LORNE
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2002-11-07
Abstract: A method of interactively determining at least one optimized design candidate using an optimizer, the optimizer having a generation algorithm and an objective function, the optimized design candidate satisfying a design problem definition, comprises generating design candidates based on the generation algorithm. The generated design candidates are added to a current set of design candidates to form a new set of design candidates. The design candidates are evaluated based on the objective function so that design candidates can be selected for inclusion in a preferred set of design candidates. The current state of the optimizer is presented to a designer for interactive examination and input is received from the designer for updating the current state of the optimizer. These steps are repeated until a stopping criterion is satisfied.
