Title: Dalles de moquette possedant des ambiguites orthogonales, comprenant des elements courbes
Inventor: DANIEL SYDNEY D
IPC: A47G27/02
Filed: 2003-06-05
Abstract: L'invention concerne des dalles de moquette comprenant des motifs ou des agencements de couleurs permettant de disposer les dalles dans une position ou un sens quelconque les unes par rapport aux autres. Les dalles présentent une ambiguïté orthogonale, ce qui signifie qu'elles peuvent être disposées les unes à côté des autres selon une orientation quelconque sans avoir l'air en désordre, offrant néanmoins une impression de continuité semblable à une moquette en rouleau. Chaque dalle possède des motifs comprenant des formes composées d'éléments droits et courbes. Au moins certains des éléments droits sur chaque dalle sont parallèles au bord d'une dalle. Les formes comportent une couleur ou une association de couleurs. Ainsi, les formes adjacentes sur chaque dalle ont au moins une couleur en commun. Par ailleurs, les dalle possèdent toutes au moins une couleur en commun, ce qui signifie que lorsque les dalles sont disposées sur le sol, les couleurs des dalles adjacentes correspondent. De plus, du fait que le motif sur chaque dalle semble aléatoire, la disposition des dalles côte à côte sur le sol, selon une orientation quelconque, permet simplement de créer un motif apparemment aléatoire plus grand, ce qui fait qu'aucune dalle ne donne l'impression de ne pas être à sa place.

Patent CA-2497295-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RINGGENBERG PAUL D
IPC: G01N1/10
Filed: 2003-08-27
Abstract: A single phase sampling apparatus and method for retrieving a formation fluid sample at or above the bubble point of the sample. The apparatus utilizes a gas charge contained between a sample piston (1) and a charging piston (3) to maintain a formation sample at the desired pressure. The charging piston utilizes the hydrostatic pressure present at the depth of the desired formation sample to compress and therefore increase the gas charge to the appropriate pressure necessary to maintain the formation sample at the desired pressure. The utilization of hydrostatic pressure to increase the pressure of the gas charge allows the use of a low pressure gas charging system to prepare the apparatus prior to sampling, thereby increasing the safety and ease of use of the device.

Title: Block error rate estimate reporting for target signal to interference ratio adjustment
Inventor: ADJAKPLE PASCAL
IPC: H04L1/20
Filed: 2003-09-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for reducing block error rate (BLER) estimate reporting to conserve system resources, while eliminating reports o f BLER estimates unlikely to require an adjustment to target signal to interference ratio (SIR). A plurality of data blocks is received over a transmission time interval and the count of data blocks is stored in a memor y (64). The data blocks are error checked by an error check unit (65) and the number of erroneous data blocks is stored in memory (64). A processor (70) performs a BLER estimate calculation based on the data block count (62) and erroneous data block count (63). A BLER estimate report is produced and sent for target SIR adjustment if triggered by threshold (75) comparisons perform ed by the processor (70), including the data block count value compared to a predetermined threshold, and the BLER estimate value compared to a predetermined multiple of the target BLER value.

Patent CA-2505032-A1 (CA)
Title: Hydraulic liquid deodorizer injection system for a toilet
Inventor: CANERS PAUL D
IPC: A61L9/00
Filed: 2005-04-25
Abstract: The invention provides an improved method of injecting toilet bawl deodorizer chemical into the toilet bowl. You can use any of the current toilet deodorizer liquids available an the market to fill the fluid reservoir of the injection system which is placed in the water closet, the filler tube of the water closet is redirected through the apparatus then to the overflow pipe.    When the toilet is flushed the fill value provides the pressure required to inject liquid deodorizer for a toilet into the overflow pipe. The concentrated deodorizer gets injected directly into the toilet bowl through the overflow pipe found in the water closet, the liquid deodorizer never comes in contact with the water in the water closet. There is no mixing chamber required due to the hydraulic pressure acting an one side of a diaphragm to transfer a small amount of liquid deodorizer on the other side of the diaphragm, injecting the liquid deodorizer stored an the liquid deodorizer side of the diaphragm through a tube to the overflow pipe of the toilet water closet, located in this tube is a restricted nozzle which can be moved closer to the injection reservoir to add less chemical deodorizer or moved further away from the injection reservoir to add more chemical deodorizer to the overflow pipe. This restricted nozzle will add the chemical deodorizer slowly so that when the toilet is initially flushed you will not use your liquid deodorizer to the waste system and any excess chemical deodorizer will be returned to the chemical deodorizer reservoir. Most of the chemical deodorizer will remain in the toilet bowl saving you money, the corrision of parts of the water closet will be slowed since the liquid deodorizer is not being mixed with the water in the water closet.
