Patent CA-2643695-A1 (CA)
Title: Method of resisting erosion in a pipe
Inventor: WANG ZHEN
IPC: F16L58/08
Filed: 2008-10-27
Abstract: A method of resisting erosion in a pipe involves lining a pipe with aluminum and iron oxide powders which are ignited to subsequently form aluminum oxide and iron coatings on the inner surface of the pipe. Rotation of the pipe causes the heavier iron to be displaced radially outwardly relative to the aluminum oxide before the coatings cool and solidify. The quality of the coatings is improved by quickly cooling the pipe in a surrounding mold using a cooling fluid and subsequently releasing the mold in a radial direction of the pipe. The quality of the coatings is further improved by rotating the pipe until the powders are uniformly distributed prior to ignition of the powders. The quality of the coatings is yet further improved by igniting the powders with molten tungsten which ensures a fast and complete ignition of the powders.

IPC: H04L5/02
Filed: 2007-03-20
Abstract: Efficient encoding techniques are described for encoding resource allocation data to be signalled to a number of user devices in a communication system. In one encoding technique, a resource allocation bit pattern is transmitted to all the users together with a resource ID for each user. Each user then identifies its allocated sub-carriers using the received allocation bit pattern and the received resource ID. In another encoding technique, a code tree is used to generate a value representing the sub-carrier allocation. The user device then uses the code tree to determine the sub-carrier allocation from the signalled value.
